When you’re ready to end your flight, follow these steps to land:
» Fly a circle pattern above your landing area.
» Come in on a final approach, flying into the wind at
an altitude of 20 to 40 meters.
» When the plane reaches an altitude of 10 meters, set the
throttle fully down to turn off the motor and glide down
on a 15 to 20 degree down-pitch angle.
» When the plane is one meter above the ground, pitch up
(flare) to land the Aero on the body of the plane instead
of the nose.

After stopping the motor at an altitude of 10 m, keep your
thumb on the throttle stick in fully down position to ensure
that the motor does not accidently spin during landing.
