When wind speed is high, high speed flight should be maintained to improve wind
resistance effect.
When flying with fast gear, the pilot should reserve at least 9.8ft of braking distance to
ensure flight safety when flying in windy conditions.
When using the fast gear for flight, the power of the aircraft will be greatly improved,
and the operation of the remote lever on the Transmitter will lead to the large flight
action of the Aircraft. During the actual flight, the pilot reserves enough flying space
to ensure the safety of the flight.
