#E FLITE WARBIRDS MANUAL#

As I mentioned before, the main landing gear is easily removed for pilots who want to hand launch. Simply set the throttle at one-half to three-quarters and give it a nice toss at a slightly upward angle. It’s not a heavy airplane, so without power on the landing approach, you might find yourself in a stall or near-stall situation if you let it get too slow. The model needs to be flown down and, in my opinion, prefers the two-wheel touch on the mains and then the tail pinned. This ensures the best possible results for the AS3X system.įlying the P-47 is a blast! Loops, rolls, slow rolls, and Split S maneuvers really look good with this model. Beginners should get stick time on a high-wing trainer with more of a self-leveling tendency or one of the many other choices from Horizon Hobby that includes the SAFE technology.Įach time you plug in the flight battery, the airplane needs to be immobile for at least 5 seconds while the AS3X system initializes. I recommend this airplane for intermediate to advanced pilots. Those who want to cruise at half throttle will definitely be able to get more time. After that you can set it to your own flying style.

The manual recommends setting the timer for the first flights at 4 minutes. You can expect a scalelike roll rate on low rates and, of course, a faster roll on high rates. I wanted the extra authority to help keep the tail planted on takeoff.

The manual recommends making your first flights at low rates.Īfter my first flight, I switched to high rates.

No exponential is needed because the receiver’s AS3X system does that for you. High rate is 100% all around, while low rate is 70% all around. The radio setup consists of only setting your dual rates. The model is capable of performing all of the aerobatics that the full-scale aircraft can perform, and really benefits from a brushless power system.īinding the P-47 to your DSM2/DSMX Spektrum transmitter is simple. The E-flite UMX P-47 looks best in the air with the landing gear removed. The fixed gear is easily installed and removed. A painted pilot figure and a four-blade propeller with yellow tips top off the high-scale fidelity of this UMX P-47. The steerable tail wheel helps with ground handling. The landing gear looks the part with scalelike tires and strut covers to complement the package. The fixed gear is easily removed for those who choose to belly land the model. What’s nice about the AS3X receiver is that it acts like a gyro without an extra channel or wires necessary to dial it in. The artificial stabilization of the three-axis receiver really helps the model feel and fly like a larger airplane.

Servos are linear, long-throw at 2.3 grams, and the receiver is a DSM2/DSMX six-channel ultra micro with AS3X. The P-47 has a 180BL 2,500 Kv brushless outrunner motor that runs off of a 2S 200 or 280 mAh 7.4-volt LiPo battery. Airfoil surfaces and a brushless outrunner motor running on 2S power are just a few of the standout features that make up this exciting new style of UMX flying models. This P-47 is one of a new breed of ultra micro aircraft available now on the market under the E-flite brand and made by Horizon Hobby. The E-flite UMX P-47 Thunderbolt is an excellent-looking replica.
