When ready to land, pull the throttle stick fully back while flyingdownwind just before making the 180-degree turn toward therunway. Allow the nose of the model to pitch downward togradually bleed off altitude. Continue to lose altitude, but maintainairspeed by keeping the nose down while turning. Apply upelevator to level the plane when it reaches the end of the runwayand is about five to ten feet off the ground. If the model is too faraway, carefully add a small amount of power to fly the modelcloser. If going too fast, smoothly advance the throttle and allowthe model to gain airspeed, then apply elevator to climbout andgo around to make another attempt. When finally ready to touchdown, continue to apply up elevator, but not so much that theairplane will climb. Continue to apply up elevator while the planedescends until it gently touches down.The NexSTAR ARF has been designed to make steep landingapproaches so that the landing approach is short and easy. TheSpeed Brake Training Flaps excel at maintaining flying speedeven in steep dives, and when the airplane is leveled-out, theyalso help to increase lift. You can also make a long landingapproach and use throttle to keep the airplane flying at a verylow speed until you reach the runway threshold where youshould cut the throttle for the airplane to land.After you have landed and shut the engine off, adjust thepushrods on the ailerons, elevator and rudder as necessaryso the trim levers on the transmitter may be returned tocenter. This will not be required on any of the controls thatdid not need trim adjustments.
