Replacing The Propeller - HobbyZone Champ Manuel D'utilisation

gliding down and have some time to rest the battery, you may re-arm the motor
by moving the throttle slider back to off then advancing it again. This only allows
the motor to run briefly, and may allow you to better adjust your landing. Do not
re-arm the motor more than once.
Note: Your Champ should be landed on a smooth surface (such as concrete or
wood) so the landing gear can work effectively.
Expert Tip: As you get better and more experienced at flying, try adding a bit
of "up" elevator just prior to landing to "flare" the plane. With some
practice, your landings should become smooth and on target.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to catch the airplane or injury may occur.
Remember, there is a spinning propeller on the front of the
plane that can cause injury! Also, remember to cut power
to the motor right before you land to prevent damage to the
propeller.
IN THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT OF A CRASH OR PROPELLER STRIKE, NO MATTER
HOW MINOR OR MAJOR, YOU MUST LOWER THE THROTTLE STICK AND TRIM
TO THEIR LOWEST POSSIBLE POSITIONS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT
DAMAGE TO THE ESC OF THE RECEIVER UNIT.
Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible positions in the
event of a crash could result in damage to the ESC in the receiver unit, which may
require replacement of the receiver unit.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Replacing the Propeller

You may need to replace the propeller in the event of a crash.
If you have access to hemostats, grip the prop shaft between the spinner and
fuselage front and turn propeller counterclockwise to remove propeller. If you
don't have hemostats, continue below.
1. Have an adult carefully use a hobby knife and cut through the clear tape on
the side of the fuselage as well as across the top seem of fuselage. See Step
1 of Replacing the Prop Shaft.
2. Carefully remove fuselage top and side to gain access to the inside.
3. Grab the spur gear (as shown) and turn propeller counterclockwise until it
releases from the prop shaft.
