- Note: the throttle pushrod must not be under tension
(servo stalled) at either end-point, as this causes the
servo to draw a constant heavy current. If necessary,
adjust the pushrod travel by connecting it to a different
hole at the servo or the throttle lever.
Refueling
- To fill the fueltank disconnect both fuel lines, and fill the
tank using the feed line (the one connected to the carbu-
rettor nipple). The pressure line (normally connected to
the silencer) serves as the overflow.
- Running the motor: the glow motor must be properly run-
in before you fly the model for the first time. Adjust the
motor so that it runs smoothly and reliable at all throttle
settings. Repeat the check with the model's nose held
vertically up and down; the motor's speed should not
vary.
- Caution: whenever you are adjusting or otherwise wor-
king on the model, keep well clear of the rotational
plane of the propeller - injury hazard. By the same token
ensure that no persons are standing in front of the
model when the motor is running.
Test-flying, flying notes
- Before the first flight please read the sections in the
"Safety Notes" entitled "Routine pre-flight checks" and
"Operating the model".
Assembly and operating instructions
Charter
- For your first few flights please wait for a day with no
more than a gentle breeze.
- A good flying site consists of a large, flat, open grassy
field. Keep well clear of high-tension overhead cables,
busy roads, residential areas, airfields and other
obstacles.
- Repeat the check of the working systems.
- If you are flying the model from a hand-launch, ask an
experienced friend to launch for you. He should be confi-
dent of giving the aeroplane a firm launch.
- The model must be launched straight into any breeze.
- Switch the motor on and give the Charter a firm launch,
directly into wind, with the fuselage and wings level.
- Keep the aeroplane flying straight and level at first; do not
attempt to turn it while you are flying close to the ground.
- Adjust the trims if necessary until the model is climbing
steadily in a straight line.
- Check the model's reaction to control commands; you
may need to increase or reduce the control surface travels
after the first flight in order to suit your style of flying.
- Check the model's stalling speed at a safe height.
- Initiate the landing approach with plenty of speed.

- If you had to adjust the trims during the first flight, adjust
the pushrod lengths once the model is safely back on the
ground, so that the trims can be returned to centre. This
ensures that full trim travel is available in both directions
for subsequent flights.
- The model is also capable of taking off from the ground.
The take-off must be carried out exactly into wind.
- Carry out a few ground-roll tests before the first take-off,
so that you have a clear idea how the model behaves on
the ground.
- Once you feel confident with its ground handling, place
the model on the runway facing directly into wind.
- Open the throttle steadily and continuously to the full-
throttle point, allow the model to pick up plenty of speed,
then apply gentle up-elevator to lift off -
not to stall it. Adjust the trims immediately if necessary.
