Flight attentionDo not fly at any place where another same-frequency model is being operated.Taking off:Always take off toward the wind.When launch MIG-17 by hands, maximize the power (include the micro-adjuster) and run severalmeters, then throw the MIG-17 horizontally. When launch MIG-17 on the ground, maximize the powerand let MIG-17 accelerate in direction of the wind and keep it running straightly, after it run morethan 60 feet, then pull the elevator joy stick, and it will take off.Flight:To keep MIG-17 flying only need 50% of the maximum power, it is a good idea to fly with power for awhile and glide for a while. In this way you can prolong the maximum flight time and familiarizeyourself with landing approaches.Landing:Before landing, switch off the power, fly along with the wind, and when MIG-17 flies near to theground, then pull the elevator joystick and MIG-17 will landing gently. With more practice, then youcould control the model easily.Phenomenon Problem How to solveMotor does not run ★ Battery is not fully charged.★ The battery in the transmitter is not at full power.★ The circuit in MIG-17 has been damaged due tocrash.★ Charge the battery.★ Install new dry cells.★ Contact the distributor.Can not fly straightly★ The rudder is not on the center position.★ Adjust the rudder on the center position.★Adjust the micro-adjuster on thetransmitter for the rudder on the suitposition.Can not climbControl distance is verynear★ The battery is not fully charged.★ The elevator declines downward.★ The battery of transmitter is not at full power.★ The antenna of transmitter has not beencompletely pulled out★ Charge the battery.★ Adjust the micro-adjuster on thetransmitter.★ Install new dry cells.★ Completely pull out the antenna oftransmitter.- 19 -
