Flying Tips and Repairs
Always
decrease throttle at
propeller strike.
NOTICE
Flying
We recommend fl ying your P-40 Warhawk outside
in no greater than moderate winds or inside in a
large gymnasium. Always avoid fl ying near houses,
trees, wires and buildings. You should also be
careful to avoid fl ying in areas where there are
many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or
soccer fi elds. Consult local laws and ordinances
before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
Takeoff
Place the P-40 Warhawk in position for takeoff
(facing into the wind if fl ying outdoors). 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 of the P-40
Warhawk.
Landing
Make sure to land into the wind. 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 fl are. During fl are, keep the
wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind.
Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on the
elevator to set the aircraft gently on the ground.
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 P-40 Warhawk using foam-compatible
CA glue (Cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape.
Only use foam-compatible CA glue, as other types
of glue can damage the foam. When parts are
not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for
ordering by item number.
NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on
your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the
aircraft until accelerant fully dries.
For a listing of all replacement and optional parts,
refer to the list at the back of this manual.
