Flight Path and Taking Off

Planning Your Flight Path

Before taking off, plan your flight path. A good path for beginners is what pilots call the airfield traffic pattern - the path that pilots follow when approaching an airport or taking off from it. This flight path will help you keep the airplane in range during the flight.

Taking Off

1. Check:

• Battery level Note: If the battery charge level indicator is in the yellow area, you have only about 15 seconds left. Recharge the Smart Module.
• Control surfaces

3. Double-tap the throttle to unlock it.

4. Set the throttle to 70%-75% thrust.
