User manual KYOSHO AUTOKITE XP

[. . . ] Do not exceed the recommended engine size or engage in extreme aerobatic maneuvers. Glue joints can loosen even thoogh they appear to be tight. If you notice irregular flight, investigate the cause and repair it befor the next flight. [. . . ] B X If you are a beginner, do not fly alone. B , Because the flying speed of the AUTOKITE XP is relatively slow, flying it windward will reduce its speed even more. Use the ribbon attached to the transmitter antenna as a vane and watch out for it in order to judge by yourself whether the present velocity allows flights or not. B In case you should not be able to recognize the kite's position anymore because it is flying too far away, or in case the kite is likely to crash due to a control error, reduce engine power and, at the same time, do not manipulate the rudder and elevator. If such is the case and the AUTOKITE XP is flying at an altitude of more than 10m, it will immediately return to horizontal position. B " , Even if increasing engine power, the AUTOKITE XP's flying speed will not change much. instead , if will gradually gain altitude. Therefore, use the engine control stick for changing altitude. When the kite gains speed, slowly move the elevator stick down. Take-off from a surface as smooth as possible; stand just behind the kite and gradually move the throttle control stick up. After the kite leaves the ground, gently return the elevator to neutral position. Hold the kite firmly by the fuselage and as close to the center of gravity as possible. Run a few steps and launch the kite with plenty of airspeed and as level as possible into the wind. Slowly pull the elevator stick down once the kite is launched. If the kite climbs too steeply, slowly return the elevator stick. If the kite banks left or right, control with the rudder the direction you want the kite to go. [. . . ] B By moving the throttle control stick, ensure the carburetor opens and closes without effort. B " " For starting the engine, apply low throttle and hold the engine starter against the spinner. If the dry batteries in the radio are flat, replace them with fresh ones. [. . . ]
