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.
