Hand-launching
Please
don't
try unpowered test-glides with this
model -the result is invariably a damaged airframe.
The KATANA should be hand-launched with the
motor running at half-throttle, and always pointing
directly into wind.
Ask
an experienced modeller to hand-launch
your
aircraft
for
you.
The launcher should run forward
for
two or three
paces, then give the machine a powerful straight
launch, with the wings and fuselage level. Use the
controls to hold the model in a steady, gentle climb -
rememberto keep the rate
of
ascent shallow and the
airspeed high!
Allow the aeroplane to climb to a safe height, then
adjust the trims
on
the transmitter until it flies in a
perfectly straight line "hands off". While the model is
still at a safe altitude, throttle back and try out the
controls on the glide. Carry
out
a "dry run" landing
approach at a safe height so that you are prepared
forthe real landing when the battery runs flat.
Don't try any tight turns
at
first, and especially not
on the landing approach at low altitude. It is always
betterto land safely at some distance from you, than
to force the model back to your feet and risk a heavy
landing.

Safety
Safety is the First Commandment when flying any
model aircraft.
Third party insurance should be considered a basic
essential.
If
you join a model club suitable cover will
usually be available through the organisation. It is
your personal responsibility to ensure that your
insurance is adequate. Make
it
your
job
to keep your
models and
your
radio control system
in
perfect
order
at
all times. Check the correct charging
procedure
for
the batteries you are using. Make use
of
all sensible safety systems and precautions
which are advised
for
your
system. An excellent
source
of
practical accessories is the SUPER-E
main catalogue, as our products are designed and
manufactured exclusively by practising modellers
for
otherpractising modellers.
Always
fly
with a responsible attitude. You may
think
that flying low over other people's heads is
proof
of
your piloting skill; others know better. The real
expert does not need to prove
himself
in
such childish ways. Let other pilots know
thatthis is whatyou think too.
Always fly in such a way that you do not endanger
yourself
or
others. Bear
in
mind
that
even the best
RC system in the world is subject to outside
interference.
No
matter
how
many
years
of
accident-free flying you have under
your
belt, you
have no idea whatwill happen
in
the next minute.
The SUPER-E team -hope you have many hours
of
pleasure building and flying your new model.
