Make certain that you do not fly near trees, buildings, or other areas 

that can restrict your view or interfere with your flying.

Step 7

Range Test

You will need two people to perform the range test: one to hold the 

plane and the other to give transmitter input.

Warning:

  The person holding the plane should hold it in a way  

so that the propeller does not come in contact with any part of 

their clothing or body.

.  One person holds the transmitter, while the other person walks 

50–00 paces away with the airplane.

2. Be sure the throttle is in the “Off” position.

3. Turn the transmitter on.

4.  Plug the airplane battery into the fuselage.

5. As soon as the throttle slider is advanced, the propeller should 

spin quickly.

6. As the first person moves the transmitter controls at the same 

time, the other person watches to be sure the airplane’s motor 

and tail controls operate smoothly.

Step 8

Seek Assistance from an Experienced Radio Control Pilot

VERY IMPORTANT

The 3-channel control system is designed for the experienced radio 

control pilot and is not intended for the first-time flier. It is best  

to have HobbyZone

®

 Zone 2 experience. First-time pilots of the  

ParkZone Micro Citabria should seek the assistance of an experienced 

RC flier until the additional third channel, pitch control, has been com-

petently mastered. Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Step 9

Hand Launching the Micro Citabria

. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3. Plug in the aircraft battery

4. Test the motor and surface controls.

5. While holding the transmitter in one hand, push the throttle stick 

to full throttle (up) with thumb.

6. Launch using light force. Keep the wings level. Do not throw it up 

or down. Point it level (parallel) with the ground when releasing.

Step 10

Runway Takeoff

. Prior to attempting a runway takeoff, you should have had  

several successful flights of hand launching the Micro Citabria.

2. Make certain the aircraft battery is fully charged.

3. Turn on transmitter.

4. Plug in aircraft battery.

5. Stand behind the Micro Citabria. Make certain you are on a 

smooth surface such as concrete or wood.

6. Apply full throttle and adjust the left or right stick so that you 

keep your Micro Citabria on its intended path.

7. If the battery is fully charged, you should be able to lift off 

the ground in a few feet. As you notice the back of the plane 

beginning to lift a bit off the ground, apply some “up” elevator 

by pulling back on the right stick. Do not give too much “up” 

elevator, or you can cause the airplane to enter into a stall.
