Step 11

Flying

. After launching, your Cessna 20 Centurion will climb at full

throttle. Keep the throttle full on until you have reached a safe

altitude. At this same time, make sure that you are continuing

to keep the airplane directed into the wind.

2. Make right and left adjustments as necessary to keep the plane

headed on its intended path. After you have reached 4–6 feet

of altitude, you can begin to make directional changes that you

desire.

3. Remember – the Cessna 20 Centurion is a small, lightweight

aircraft. Do not allow the plane to get too far away from you.

When the plane is farther away from you it is harder

to see and could cause you to lose orientation.

4. Avoid holding the stick full right or left for more than two

seconds, as this will cause the plane to enter a spiral and could

threaten your Cessna 20 Centurion.

5. Do not try to climb too fast by pulling all the way back on the

stick (up elevator), or your plane may enter into a stall. Instead,

climb by giving small amounts of elevator.

6. Damage/bends to the wings or tail can greatly affect flight

control. Repair or replace the damaged parts immediately.

Sharp Turns

In order to make a sharper turn, move the stick in the desired

direction and add some up elevator (pull back on stick). The plane

will make a sharper banking turn.

Note:

With the throttle set at low or off (gliding), the plane will not

turn as fast as when you are flying at or near full throttle.

Rudder Trim

If the model wants to constantly turn one direction, use the digital trim

buttons to correct (see drawing). Your Cessna 20 Centurion should

fly straight with the control stick at neutral.
