If anytime during operation the controls or propeller become
jammed or unresponsive, lower the power to the propeller,
and land. Disconnect, then reconnect the LiPo on the Micro
Nieuport 17 to attempt to regain control.
Take off (or hand launch) heading into the wind.
The Micro Nieuport 17 will take off with ease at just
1/2-throttle and 3/4-up elevator throw.
Once in the air, gain altitude to allow yourself sufficient
reaction time to make a correction during flight. Once you’re
comfortable, adjust the rudder and elevator trims one click
at a time so that the Micro Nieuport 17 flies straight and
level with the control sticks centered.
Concentrate on brief control stick inputs of rudder so that the Micro Nieuport 17 turns without causing the aircraft to
roll. A slight amount of up elevator may be necessary to maintain altitude going into a turn and the elevator will need
to be returned to neutral when coming out of a turn to avoid gaining altitude.
It’s recommended that you attempt to land before the motor cuts out due to low voltage. Attempt to land into the wind
by pitching the elevator up, slowing the descent and reducing the glide slope. Gradually reduce the throttle and just
before touchdown apply some up elevator to land safely on the landing gear and tail skid. Unpower the model, then
switch off the transmitter. Allow the motor to cool between flights.
FLYING THE MICRO NIEUPORT 17
With the transmitter powered and the battery plugged into the Micro Nieuport 17, walk 50' [15m] from the aircraft
