If at anytime during operation, the controls or propellers
become jammed or unresponsive, reduce the power to the
propellers and land. Fix the problem before attempting to fly.
Take off (or hand launch) heading directly into the wind.
NOTE:
If you hand launch, you can remove the landing gear
by gently pulling the landing gear wires straight out of the
mounts.When flying without landing gear, land on grass only
to minimize damage to the motor nacelles and fuselage.
Cut
power
to the motors completely just before the propellers
touch the ground to prevent any damage.
Hand launch with throttle set at ¾ to full power, wings level
and with a slight toss (it is not necessary to aggressively
throw this model to hand launch it).
Once in the air, gain altitude to allow yourself sufficient reaction time to make a correction during flight. Once you’re
comfortable, adjust the aileron and elevator trims one click at a time so that the Micro B-25 Mitchell flies straight and
level with the control sticks centered.
Concentrate on using small aileron control inputs so the model turns without banking the wings excessively. 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 motors lose power and don’t have enough voltage to maintain
altitude or the low-voltage cut-off stops the motors. Always land directly into the wind if possible. Gradually reduce
power when you are close to the landing spot and when close to the ground and about to touch down, pull the elevator
stick back slightly to raise the nose of the model and slow the landing speed to “flair” for landing. Unplug the battery
from the model and switch off the transmitter. Allow the motors to cool between flights.
FLYING THE MICRO B-25
To replace the propellers, fi rst make sure the battery is
unplugged. Remove the spinner by gently wiggling it and
breaking the glue joint that holds the spinner in place on
the propeller. Gently and carefully hold the motor shaft with
needle nose pliers or a hemostat to keep it from rotating and
gently unscrew the propellers from the shafts. As shown in
the picture, the left propeller unscrews clockwise and the
right propeller unscrews counterclockwise.
BE SURE you
replace the propeller with the same rotating direction
propeller!
The spinner can be glued back on the propeller
with a small amount of aliphatic (white) glue. Allow the glue
to dry suffi ciently before fl ying the model. Gently pull on
the spinner to make sure it is really glued to the propeller.
