Step 8 – Flying Step 9 – Throttle Adjustment
1. After launching, your Ember 2 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 on its intended path.
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 the directional changes that you
desire.
3. Remember – the Ember 2 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 Ember 2.
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 the 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 in one direction, use the digital trim
buttons to correct. Your Ember 2 should fly straight with the control stick
at neutral. Always make trim changes in one click intervals.
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.
Step 10 – Using Elevator
Your Ember 2 is equipped with an elevator for 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
buttons 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.
