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. It is highly recommended to 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 P-38 Lightning 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. 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 P-38 LIGHTNING
With the transmitter powered and the battery plugged into the Micro P-38 Lightning, walk 50' [15m] from the aircraft
and check the control functions for proper and smooth operation.
