Step 13
Hand Launching the F-27B Stryker
1. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged.
2. Make sure the throttle slider is in the "off" position
before turning on the transmitter.
3. Turn on the transmitter. Make certain transmitter
switch is on correct mode.
4. Plug in aircraft battery.
5. Place the fingers of your launching hand into the molded
place on the bottom of the aircraft.
6. With the power off, throw your F-27B Stryker firmly
with a slight angle upwards, directly into the wind.

Warning: If you give throttle before you throw your F-27B
into the air, you could cause yourself severe physical harm.
Please use caution.
Step 14
Flying the F-27B Stryker
1. After launching, your F-27B Stryker will climb at full
throttle. Keep the throttle full on until you have reached
an altitude of about 50 feet. At the same time, make
sure that you are continuing to keep the airplane
directed into the wind.
2. Make right and left adjustments as necessary to keep
the plane headed directly into the wind. After you have
reached 50 feet of altitude, you can begin to make
directional changes that you desire.
3. Use the trim levers on the transmitter to help with
trimming for level flight. If you still need some
additional trim adjustment to the elevons, you can
detach the clevis from the control surface horn and turn
the clevis in or out to raise or lower the elevon until the
desired adjustment is made.
4. Remember—control range is 2,500 feet. Do not allow
the plane to get too far away from you. When the plane is
further in the air, it is harder to see and the winds are
stronger.
5. Always keep the plane upwind from you, so it will not
be carried away from you by the wind.
8. Keep steering into the wind and hold at full throttle
