Flys best with no wind, try to keep it in range, and use on/off pulse throttle to dampen porpoising before steady throttle..

Best Review on Air Hogs Hawk White Grey

Like any thrust vector foam RC, dead calm is the best. In a light breeze you can spin it in the ground if your wings angle gets too far over while you are trying to fight the wind. It is best to static run the motors through 3 or 4 charge cycles to break in the motors before your first flight. First I got my miniusb charger, a coffee mug and had the plane nose down in it while starting at 1/4 full throttle, then up to 1/2 full throttle at the end of the 4 cycles to safely break in the motor brushes. For the best performance, do not try to gain altitude to quickly or you will just porpoise up and down before you eventually crash.
Quick clarification on turning. You will find you cannot turn at high throttle, cut throttle to 1/4 so steering motors will still work and use 1/2 second control pulse turns as you slow, then before you stall and dip down, quickly return to your previous throttle position to maintain level flight. At 0 throttle motors will not work even with full left or right. Two mods I have done is to remove the back and drill a small antenna hole above the 2.4 Ghz antenna, so the 31mm wire will point straight up instead of being curved into the case. For best results do not point your antenna wire directly at your model, keep it at 90 degree angle with the model in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the wire. The second mod is to carefully stretch the throttle spring, so it does not tire out my thumb so much. PS you will need to first on/off pulse control the throttle to dampen porpoising before you will be able to hold the throttle steady for level flight. Cut throttle to save the motors and reduce speed before you crash. Many crashes and no damage. When you get into trouble, try to level out the wings to avoid crashes with only 1/2 second left or right control pulses with 1/4 throttle. You may be able to recover or at least avoid nose dives into the ground. Yea, I missed the two spare props taped to the cardboard too and threw them away, oops. Before doing anything else, get your spare props and tape them to the battery cover on your controller. Dead calm flight 2 to 3 minutes, light breeze 15 to 30 seconds before relaunch needed. Well that just might be due to my piloting skills.
