4. If trimming the ailerons with the trim levers is not
sufficient, and the ailerons need to be trimmed
mechanically, you’ll need to do the following:
a. With the radio system on, return the trim
levers and gimbal to their neutral positions.
b. Locate the small thumbscrew on each aileron
(bottom of the control surface).
c. Loosen the thumbscrew until the pushrod is
free from the control horn and move the aile-
ron control surface to the neutral position.
d. Hold the aileron at neutral with one hand while
retightening the thumbscrew on the control
horn, so that the control surface will then be
held at neutral when the trim levers and gimbal
are in the neutral position.

Choosing a Flying Field
• A large, open grassy field is required to fly your
ParkZone ® Spitfire Mk IIB. Your Spitfire can
achieve speeds greater than 40 mph, so it
covers ground fast. The choice of a large field
will ensure greater success for your flight.
• It is essential to have a minimum of 300 feet of
clear space in all directions from the pilot.
• Make certain that you do not fly near trees, build-
ings, or other areas that can restrict your view or
interfere with your flying. NEVER fly near streets,
parking lots, or people.
Optimal Flying Conditions
You want to fly! However, you need to make sure
that you fly in the conditions that will allow you to
have the best success. This is when there is little
to no wind (less than 8 mph or nearly 13 km/h).
To check wind conditions:
1. Tie the included red ribbon to the transmitter
antenna.
2. Hold the transmitter antenna so it is parallel to
the ground and note how much the ribbon moves
in the wind. If the ribbon hangs down, conditions
are perfect to fly. There is some variance in the
amount of wind that you can fly in, but if the

angle between the antenna and the ribbon, when
the antenna is parallel to the ground, is less than
20 degrees, it is too windy to fly.
