Instruccions de funcionament
Flight Modes (SAFE Select)
The SAFE Select technology offers progressive flight modes to assist pilots of varying skill levels. These modes are typically selectable via a switch on your transmitter:
- Mode principiant: Limits pitch and bank angles and provides automatic self-leveling, making it easier for new pilots to maintain control.
- Mode intermedi: Offers more freedom in pitch and bank compared to Beginner Mode, but still provides self-leveling.
- Experienced Mode: Provides full control with no pitch or bank limits and no self-leveling, allowing for advanced aerobatics.
Enlairament
The Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m supports both hand launches and ground takeoffs due to its STOL capabilities and robust landing gear.
- Llançament manual: With the motor at partial throttle, gently toss the aircraft forward and slightly upward into the wind. Immediately apply full throttle and gain altitude.
- Ground Takeoff: Place the aircraft on a flat surface, preferably into the wind. Gradually increase throttle while maintaining directional control with the rudder. Once sufficient speed is gained, gently apply up elevator to lift off.
Aterratge
For a smooth landing, approach into the wind. Reduce throttle and maintain a controlled descent. As the aircraft nears the ground, gradually reduce throttle further and apply a small amount of up elevator to flare for a soft touchdown. Avoid cutting the throttle completely until the aircraft is on the ground to maintain control.
Night Flying
The integrated LED lighting system allows for high-visibility night flying. Ensure you are familiar with the aircraft's orientation and controls in low light conditions before attempting night flights.
