Always seek the help of an experienced radio control pilot if you are

not familiar with pitch control. Failure to do so, could result in a crash

and signiﬁcant damage to your airplane.

Step 14

Landing Your Cessna Centurion

When you begin to notice that your Cessna 210 Centurion no longer

climbs well under full power (normally after approximately 10–15

minutes), the battery is getting low and it is time to land. Bring in your

Cessna toward the desired landing spot. Gradually reduce throttle (as

well as giving a small amount of down elevator if you choose) to reach

an altitude of approximately 4 feet. At this point, reduce even more

throttle and your Cessna 210 Centurion should glide in softly for a

landing.

Note: Your Cessna should be landed on a smooth surface (such

as concrete or wood) so that the landing gear can work effectively.

Expert Tip: As you get better and more experienced at flying,

try adding a bit of “up” elevator just prior to landing to “flare” the

plane. With some practice, your landings should become smooth

and on target.

Warning: Do not attempt to catch the airplane or injury may

occur. Remember, there is a spinning propeller on the front of the

plane that can cause injury! Also, remember to cut power to the

motor right before you land to prevent damage to the propeller.
