Adjusting trim for horizontal flight.

Rudder
Trim

Take your finger off of the rudder stick and if the plane flies 

to the right, adjust the rudder trim to the left side.

Elevator
Trim

Take your finger off of the elevator stick and if the plane 

flies upwards, adjust the elevator trim upward.

Adjust the elevator and rudder 

trims so the plane flies straight 
and horizontal when the sticks 
are free.

LANDING

When you’re ready to land or the 

battery runs low, the propeller 
will stop spinning. Flight times 
will be 5–7 minutes depending 
on full throttle use, presence of 
thermals, outside temperature, 
and battery condition.

When landing, make a wide turn with the wind, and then land 

directly

 into the wind.

LVC (Low Voltage Cutoff)

The Micro Calypso has a built in LVC to protect your LiPo 

battery from discharging too low while flying. Once the battery 
reaches LVC, the power to the motor will shut off and you need 
to land the Micro Calypso. 

Make sure to always disconnect the flight battery from the 
plane to prevent the battery from discharging any further. The 
LVC does not prevent from over discharging when the plane 
is not in use.

AFTER LANDING

 1.  

Always disconnect the 

battery before turning off 
the transmitter.

 Hold the 

connector when disconnecting 
the battery. Do not pull on the 
cord.

 2.  

Then, switch the transmitter 
OFF.

CAUTION:

 The battery may be hot after a flight! Allow 

the battery to cool down before recharging.

AFTER-FLIGHT MAINTENANCE

 1. 

 

Remove the battery from the 

airplane when not in use. Fully 
charge the flight battery before 
storing it. Also remove the 
batteries from the transmitter.

 2. 

 

For the next flight, check that 

no screws have loosened and  
replace any scratched or 
damaged parts.

 3.  

Clean away any dirt etc. 

and perform any needed 
maintenance.
