3.3 Встановлення шасі

The landing gear can be easily attached for ground take-offs and landings, or removed for hand launches.

• Locate the slots on the underside of the wings and fuselage.
• Gently push the landing gear struts into the corresponding slots until they are secure.
• Ensure the wheels are free to rotate.

3.4 Binding the Remote Control

The aircraft and remote control are typically pre-bound. If re-binding is necessary:

1. Увімкніть пульт дистанційного керування.
2. Підключіть льотну батарею до літака.
3. Place the aircraft on a flat surface. The indicator light on the aircraft will flash.
4. Move the throttle stick on the remote control to the lowest position, then to the highest, and back to the lowest.
5. The aircraft's indicator light will become solid, indicating successful binding.

4. Інструкція з експлуатації

4.1 Передпольотні перевірки

• Переконайтеся, що всі акумулятори повністю заряджені.
• Check that the propellers are securely attached and undamaged.
• Verify that all control surfaces (rudder, elevator) move freely and correctly in response to remote control inputs.
• Переконайтеся, що на зоні польоту немає перешкод та людей.

4.2 Зліт

The F4U Corsair offers two take-off methods:

• Кидок руки: Hold the aircraft firmly with one hand, apply full throttle, and gently throw it forward into the wind. The 6-axis gyro stabilizer will assist in maintaining level flight.
• Зліт з землі: Place the aircraft on a smooth, flat surface (e.g., pavement or short grass) with the landing gear installed. Gradually increase throttle and steer with the rudder until the aircraft gains enough speed to lift off.

4.3 Flight Controls and Gyro Stabilizer

The 3-channel remote control allows for basic flight maneuvers:

• Дросель: Controls the speed of the propellers (up/down on left stick).
• Кермо: Controls yaw (left/right on left stick).
• Ліфт: Controls pitch (up/down on right stick).

The integrated 6-axis gyro stabilizer automatically corrects for turbulence and maintains stable flight, making it easier for beginners to learn. This system provides assistance to prevent crashes and allows for smoother control.

4.4 Сигналізація про низький заряд акумулятора

The remote control transmitter will beep and flash a light when the aircraft's battery is low. This indicates it's time to land the plane and recharge the battery.

4.5 Посадка

To land the aircraft, gradually reduce throttle and guide the plane towards a clear, open area. Maintain a slight nose-up attitude with the elevator for a smooth touchdown. If using landing gear, aim for a gentle glide onto a flat surface. If hand-launching, reduce throttle to minimum and allow the plane to glide to a soft landing on grass.

5. Технічне обслуговування
