Flying
We recommend flying your E-flite
®
UMX Gee Bee outside in
calm to moderate winds or in a large gymnasium. Always
avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You
should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there
are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or
soccer fields. Consult local laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
Takeoff
Place the UMX Gee Bee in position for takeoff (facing into
the wind if flying outdoors). Gradually increase the throttle
to full power, holding a small amount of up elevator and
steering with the rudder. Climb gently to check trim. Once
the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the flight envelope of
the UMX Gee Bee.
Landing
Land into the wind. This is very important for this model.
Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or less
above the runway, using a small amount of throttle for
the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is
ready to flare. During flare, keep the wings level and the
airplane pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle
while pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft
down on all three wheels.
Failure to lower the throttle
stick and trim to the lowest
possible positions during a
crash could result in damage
to the ESC in the receiver
unit, which may require
replacement.
Over Current Protection
(OCP)
T
he UMX Gee Bee is equipped
with Over Current Protection.
OCP protects the ESC from
overheating and stops the
motor when the transmitter throttle is set too high and
the propeller cannot turn. OCP will only activate when the
throttle is positioned just above ½ throttle. After the ESC
stops the motor, fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.
