But take care - there are dangers for your model lurking at the
slope. Firstly, in most cases landing is much more difficult than
at a flat field site. It is usually necessary to land in the lee of the
hill where the air is turbulent; this calls for concentration and a
high-speed approach. A landing on the slope face, i.e. right in
the slope lift, is even more difficult. Here the trick is to approach
slightly downwind, up the slope, and flare at exactly the right
moment, just before touch-down.
Electric flying
The electric-powered version gives you the highest possible
level of autonomy. The model should be launched with the motor
turning, but not running at full-throttle; this applies in particular to
the Tuning version. At a flat field site one battery charge will give
about eight to ten climbs to a good height prior to an extended
gliding phase. At the slope you can use the motor to guard against
the dreaded downdraught (sudden loss of lift, forcing you to land
the model at the foot of the hill). But aerobatics are also great fun
with the Xeno: rolls, inside and outside loops and inverted flight
are well within its capabilities.
15. Gilding the lily - applying the decals
The kit is supplied with a multi-colour decal sheet 2. Cut out the
individual name placards and emblems and apply them to the
model in the position shown in the kit box illustration, or in an
arrangement which you find pleasing.
16. 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 (i.e. cover for powered
model aircraft).
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 sensi-
ble safety systems and precautions which are advised for your
system. An excellent source of practical accessories is the MUL-
TIPLEX main catalogue, as our products are designed and
manufactured exclusively by practising modellers for other
practising 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 that this is what you
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 what will happen in the next minute.
We - the MULTIPLEX team - hope you have many hours of
pleasure building and flying your new model.
