Basic Landing Techniques.pdf
Taken from Basic Landing Techniques (by Frank Granelli): Trainers glide slowly but do not cover a lot of ground distance in the glide. Apply only enough up elevator to maintain the same descending attitude used on the powered approach. If the plane appears to be landing short of the runway, LOWER the nose (release some up elevator) by about 10 degrees. DO NOT apply up elevator. More up elevator will slow the plane and make it land even shorter. Lowering the nose increases the airspeed and therefore the ground distance covered. Most trainers will make the runway from anywhere in this pattern if the engine quits.
The best landing engine rpm varies with the plane being flown. Most 40-60 sized trainers should be set so that the high trim idle is 2800-3000 rpm on the ground. Moving the throttle trim to half way should result in 2300-2400 rpm. Full low throttle trim should shut the engine off. Fly with the high trim to insure the engine doesn’t quit during the flight. Reduce the trim to halfway just before entering the landing pattern. Shut the engine off before picking up the plane.

P-51D Mustang Instruction Manual.pdf
The Great Planes P-51D Mustang is a semi-scale (approximately 1/8-scale) model of the full-size North American P-51D. The prototype as pictured on the box cover is not a copy of any one full-size airplane in particular. Rather, we selected several typical trim features from several aircraft, making a good-looking and rather “generic” trim scheme that typifies the Mustang we all know.
The Electric Helicopter Beginner’s Guide v16.pdf
This is the volume 16, earlier version of the Electric Helicopter Beginner’s Guide, it will guide you from basic of R/C helicopter selections, learn to make first maneuver, hovering, maintaining, servicing and tweaking your first Remote Controlled Helicopter.
The Electric Helicopter Beginners Guide v17.pdf
R/C helicopters are not dynamically stable, and they require constant stick input. It’s very similar to balancing a marble on a sheet of glass by radio control. In addition to this, the glass can be rotated which then rotates all the directions.
Therefore, it takes a lot of time to develop a good sense of balance and orientation. You will learn much faster if you can dedicate at least a half-hour a day to practicing on a flight simulator.
