Cox Micro Warbird Instructions

Turn on the power switch for the Cox Micro Warbird. It is located just behind the right-side wing. This switch turns on the radio unit and the electric motor.

Turn on the radio control unit and test the functionality of the radio. Push the left-side lever forward all the way for full throttle, and pull it all the way back to stop. Move the controller stick, usually on the right side of the controller, to work the rudders and flaps of the Cox Micro Warbird.

Place the plane on the ground at the end of a long, straight runway. It is also possible to turn on the plane and toss it to launch it.

Push the throttle stick on the radio controller forward to speed up the electric motor. The Micro Warbird will move forward and build speed. When you see the tail of the airplane raise up, pull back gently on the control stick, and the Cox Micro Warbird will raise up off the ground. Don't allow the airplane to get too far out of range of the radio controller, or it will go out of control and crash.

Bank the airplane left by pushing the control stick on the remote controller to the left. Turn the airplane to the right by pushing it in the opposite direction. To decrease altitude, push the control stick forward; and to gain altitude, pull the control stick backward.

Land the Cox Micro Warbird by lining it up over the runway on which you intend to land, and then decrease altitude and engine speed until the front wheels of the plane touch down. When they do, cut the power to the engine. The rear wing of the plane will touch down and the plane will roll to a stop.
