contacted the receiver. It has trim tabs for all controls. The stick lengths can be adjusted to fit your thumbs. The servo directions are easily reversed by moving the switches at the bottom up or down. They are clearly labelled left to right: “Rudd, Thro, Aile, Elev.” Seemed a bit strange to us, though, that the “Off” position is the normal position.
A truly innovative feature is the safety switch located on the upper left corner. With this switch in the “off” position, the motor will not run. Don’t try to decipher the printed Oriental/English instructions regarding this switch. It’ll make you crazy. Just know that the safe or off position is down. Up to fly.
It has no dual rate switches in the usual sense, but there is a rotating knob at upper left where you can change the throws on all the control surfaces.

So How Does It Fly?
This airplane is already in the hands of hundreds of pilots who offer nothing but rave reviews. Nevertheless, here is a bit of our experience with it:
We tested from a paved runway, but the wheels are large enough to handle grass. We gradually applied full throttle and–as we always do– waited to see if the airplane would takes off by itself. We hate applying up elevator and then have an airplane zoom up on us. The Skybus took off by itself, and the lack of ground steering was no problem because it was off in

in five feet. Simply put, it flies like a big trainer. It is not a fast flying airplane but for your first twin I would not recommend one anyhow. It will climb verticlly for for a couple of hundred feet. It does a nice big loop from level flight. Apply a little down elevator at the top; then back off the throttle and it will come around nicely. The roll is more like a barrel roll. Landing is a dream. I mean it glides. You can land with full power off. Flight times were not as
long as we would have liked, so we added some mAh as you will see in the flollowing section:
