UMX Cessna 182 Manual

EN
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm
conditions. 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 aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into
the wind if flying outdoors). Gradually increase the
throttle to ¾ to full and steer with the rudder. Pull
back gently on the elevator and climb to check trim.
Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the flight
envelope of the aircraft.
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)
This aircraft is equipped
with Over Current Protection
(OCP). This feature protects
the ESC from overheating.
OCP stops the motor when
the transmitter throttle is set
too high and the propeller
cannot turn. The OCP will only
activate when the throttle
stick is positioned just above 1/2 throttle. After the
ESC stops the motor, fully lower the throttle to re-
arm the ESC.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under the
warranty.
Repairs
Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA
(cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape. Only use
foam-compatible CA, as other types of glue can
damage the foam. 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 end of this manual.
NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on
your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the
aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.
NOTICE: When you are finished flying, never leave
the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed
area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
