In this, the second instalment of the "5 Tips for Flying Model Airplanes Safely and Smartly!" mini-ecourse, we are going to discuss: "The Test Glide"

Test Glide
Although not all flyers will perform a test glide at every outing, you will certainly want to consider this whenever you are dealing with a new model. The test glide is designed to assess the glide characteristics of the plane, so you know what to expect if the engine should unexpectedly quit for any reason. To do this, you want to work over a long area of grass, so if something happens, the model airplane will not be seriously damaged.

For the pre-flight check, turn the transmitter on first, followed by the receiver switch. Then, pull the transmitter antenna out so that it's completely extended. Next, make sure the rudder or elevator is working properly, moving in the correct way then centre it in a neutral position.

Now hold your airplane facing away from you, at head level and into the wind. Very gently launch the plane from your hand, making sure it is level or pointed slightly downwards. If the plane is right and ready to fly, it will gently glide to the ground after a short, smooth flight.

Again, thank you for signing up for this special mini-ecourse and I hope this instalment has been informative for you! Your next instalment will arrive shortly.

Sincerely,

Bruce Bird
