Step 8 – Throttle Adjustment
Step 9 – Using Elevator
1. Climb to an altitude of 6-12 feet with full throttle.
2. To achieve and maintain a level “cruising” altitude, reduce the
power by moving the throttle stick down to approximately 50%.
The throttle stick is proportional, so you can add or reduce throttle
in small increments as needed to maintain the desired altitude.
3. To reduce altitude, reduce throttle.
4. To increase altitude, increase throttle.
Your Ember 2 is equipped with a third channel for elevator (pitch control).
Pulling back on the stick provides up elevator. This allows for shorter
takeoffs, better flares for landing, better climb rates and more effective
turns. Pulling back too far on the elevator, however, will cause the
airplane to enter a stall, causing the nose of the airplane to drop.
To avoid crashing from a stall, always maintain enough altitude to
recover.
Just after a stall has occurred, the nose of the airplane will fall and the
plane will look like it is diving. To pull out of a stall, simply pull back
slowly on the elevator stick once your Ember 2 has built up airspeed.
Remember, pulling back too quickly or for too long will once again cause
the airplane to enter a stall. Effectively avoiding and recovering from
stalls requires experience. Always seek the help of an experienced radio
control pilot if you are not familiar with pitch control. Failure to do so
could result in a crash and significant damage to your airplane.
Elevator Trim
If the Ember 2 wants to go up or down, use the elevator digital trim but-
tons next to the control stick to correct. The model should fly straight
with the control stick at neutral and should have a steady, shallow climb
at full throttle.
