User Manual

We recommend fl ying your aircraft indoors with a
fl oor area of 15 ft x 15 ft and a minimum ceiling
height of 8 ft; a living room or offi ce is ideal. We
suggest fi rst fl ights take place in a larger area, like a
garage or basement.
We do not recommend fl ying outdoors unless the
conditions are absolutely calm. The aircraft is
extremely light and can be easily blown away.
Hand Launching
Hold the aircraft at shoulder height with one hand.
While holding your transmitter in your other hand,
increase the throttle to half. Launch the aircraft using
light force. Keep the wings level and do not throw
it up or down. Point it level with the ground when
releasing. Do not grasp the pushrods while launching,
as this may result in damage to the servos.
Runway Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff. Gradually
increase the throttle to full and steer with the rudder.
Pull back gently with the elevator and climb to check
trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the
fl ight envelope.
Flying
After takeoff, the aircraft will climb at 3/4 to full
throttle. The UMX
™
Vapor
®
Lite HP aircraft is
designed for a slow and relaxing fl ight experience.
Fly at a slow, controlled speed appropriate for the
size of the location.
Landing
Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or
less above the landing surface. Reduce the throttle
and the aircraft should glide in softly for a landing.
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.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not
covered under warranty.
Repairs
Repair the aircraft using clear
tape. When parts are not
repairable, see the Replacement
Parts List for ordering by item
number.
For a listing of all replacement
and optional parts, refer to the list at the back of this
manual.
Flying Tips and Repairs
