Trimming the Model in flight
If you find that your model does not fly
straight, it may be necessary to adjust
the trim for straight and level flight.
Trimming is best done when flying at
1/2 to 2/3 power.
Rudder Trim
If the model appears to turn slightly to
the right or left, it may be required to
adjust the rudder trim. If the model is
turning to the left, press the right rudder
trim until the model flies level. If it is
turning to the right, press the left rudder
trim. You should only use one or two
presses at a time so the model is not
over-trimmed and begins turning the
opposite direction.
Elevator Trim
If the model is climbing or diving in
flight, it may be necessary to adjust the
elevator trim. If the model is climbing,
you will need to press the down
elevator trim. If the model is diving,
it will require that you press the up
elevator trim. As with the rudder, only
press the trim once or twice until the
model flies level to avoid over-trimming.
NOTE
: If you reach the end point of the
trim you will hear a continuous beep.
Flying Area
You can fly your model indoors in an area the size of a
small gymnasium, or outdoors in a similar sized area or
larger in winds less than 5 mph. Make sure to choose an
area that is clear of buildings, trees, power lines or other
obstacles that your aircraft could collide with. Always
fly your model away from crowds or spectators to avoid
injury.
General Flying Precautions
Always make it a point to practice good flying
techniques. Choose an area large enough
that you can safely maneuver your model.
Always fly your model in winds of 5 MPH or
less. Avoid flying into the sun.

Flight check:
Point the model into the wind. Advance the throttle to 2/3 power and gently “push” the model forward with
the nose up slightly. You can also take off from the ground on smooth surfaces such as gym floors or
driveways.
The Micro Stik can be flown mild or wild. Slowly cruise around at 1/4 throttle or perform multiple loops
and tight turns at higher power settings.
To land, reduce the throttle enough to cause the model to slowly descend. Point the model into the wind
and fly it gently to the ground. With a little practice you will be able to perform touch and goes.
