Flying
We recommend only fl ying your Mosquito in
light winds. Always avoid fl ying near houses,
trees, wires and buildings. You should also
be careful to avoid fl ying in areas where
there are many people, such as busy parks,
schoolyards, or soccer fi elds. Consult local laws
and ordinances before choosing a location to
fl y your aircraft.
Fly indoors only in a large space such as an
indoor running track with a high ceiling.
Place the Mosquito in position for takeoff
(facing into the wind if fl ying outdoors).
Gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full, and
steer with the rudder. Pull back gently with
the elevator and climb to check trim. Once
the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the fl ight
envelope of the Mosquito.
When landing, keep the power about 1/4 to
1/3 and fl y the airplane down to the ground.
Decrease power as the wheels touch the grou-
nd. Try to avoid power off landings as the drag
from the propellers prevents the airplane from
having enough energy for a power off fl are.
Failure to lower the
throttle stick and trim
to the lowest possible
positions during a crash
could result in damage
to the ESC in the recei-
ver unit, which may
require replacement.
Note: Crash damage
is not covered under
warranty.
Repairs
Thanks to the construction of the Mosquito,
repairs to the foam can be made using
foam-compatible CA and foam-compatible
CA accelerator or tape. When parts are not
repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for
ordering by item number.
Flying Tips and Repairs
Always
decrease throttle at
propeller strike.
Maintenance After Flying
• Disconnect fl ight battery from Receiver/
ESC (Required for Safety)
• Turn off transmitter
• Remove fl ight battery from aircraft
• Recharge fl ight battery
• Repair or replace all damaged parts
• Store fl ight battery apart from aircraft and
monitor the battery charge
• Make note of fl ight conditions and fl ight
plan results, planning for future fl ights
Dual Rates
We recommend using a DSM aircraft transmitter capable of dual rates. Adjust according to
individual preferences after initial fl ight.
NOTICE: When programming a transmitter, DO
NOT set a servo channel’s Travel Adjust (ATV or
EPA in some transmitters) value to more
than 100%.
A Travel Adjust value set to more than 100%
overdrives and damages a linear servo and
does NOT result in more control movement.
High Rate Low Rate
Aileron 8mm up/down 5mm up/down
Elevator 5mm up/down 4mm up/down
Rudder 5mm left/right 4mm left/right
Note: All control surfaces are measured at
the widest point.
