Pre-Flight

Do not touch the running propeller!

Adult supervision is required!

Always fly your aircraft in a large grassy area free of trees and other obstructions. This will help protect your MicroFighter during impact.

The MicroFighter was designed for very stable outdoor flying with wind conditions not to exceed 7 KPH / 4mph. If you can feel the wind, DO NOT FLY!

Make first flights with the landing gear on to help stabilize the flight and simplify the control of this sensitive and maneuverable aircraft. After you have gained experience you can try flying with the Landing gear removed!

Your MicroFighter can be flown with or without Landing gear. In addition to enabling realistic takeoffs and landings from smooth surfaces, the landing gear has the additional function of slightly degrading the performance of this sensitive aircraft and also making it more stable and easier to control smoothly, especially for beginners. It is strongly recommended that you make all first flights WITH the Landing gear on AND to use a normal hand-launch over grass.

Notes: ONLY after you have gained experience should you consider a ground takeoff.

After you have advanced to the Pro Mode you can remove the stabilizing landing gear to do wild maneuvers just like a full-size jet fighter!

direction to straighten out.

 

 

 

NOTE: Your MicroFighter is designed to self-stabilize automatically when power is reduced. In an "emergency" situation in which the plane is out of control, quickly pulling the left throttle stick ALL the way back to stop the motors will let the plane save itself and not crash!

To land your MicroFighter direct it INTO any slight wind and decrease throttle for slow and steady descent. For perfect landings on smooth surfaces with the landing gear however, land WITH the wind in the same direction it is blowing for a gentle touchdown.

To let your MicroFighter take off from any smooth surface allowing about 17 m / 50 ft takeoff run

and even more clear space for climb out, point it INTO any slight wind and give full power while making careful steering corrections. Practice with your MicroFighter until you are confident and skilled enough to cancel the restricting feature of Easy Mode and use the Pro Mode. To switch over to Pro Mode: BEFORE you turn on the controller, hold the RIGHT stick hard over to the right. Then turn on the controller while still holding the RIGHT stick to the right. You can release the right stick and the Red LED will blink three times indicating you have activated Pro Mode and deactivated

Flying your MicroFighters

1.Switch the MicroFighter to the “ON” position. (1)

2.Turn transmitter switch to “ON” position. (2) The red LED will light steadily. (3)

3.Fully extend the antenna. (4)

4.Move throttle control (left control stick) fully forward and back to activate the transmitter. (5)

5.Make sure trim knob is centered with arrow pointing up. (6)

6.Push throttle control forward to half (middle) before launch for FIRST flights.

7.Hold the nose of the MicroFighter with two fingers to launch. (7)

8.Launch the MicroFighter as straight and level as possible; always launch gently INTO the wind. (8)

9.Add throttle gently while adjusting the steering trim knob on the transmitter.

10.Adjust trim Left when the MicroFighter turns Right.

11.Adjust trim Right when the MicroFighter turns Left.

12.Repeat steps (10) and (11) several times to make sure your MicroFighter travels in a straight line.
