ANGELWING DESIGNS Micro Dammit-E
INTRODUCTION
The Micro Dammit is designed for intermediate to advanced pilots. Whilst not a
difficult model to fly please bear in mind that it is very small, very fast, and
extremely agile.
Building is very quick and simple, but again some building experience or the
assistance of a skilled model maker is suggested. Small models need to be
built carefully and accurately to get the best flying performance possible.
Only lightweight covering should be used in order to reduce the risk of twis
ng the airframe out of shape when shrinking the film. We used Oracover Oralight
on our prototypes. Our feather cover is ideal but as it is totally clear a
high visibility s cker scheme would be required unless flown slowly and close.
Balancing a flying wing is very important. The CG is shown on the plan and
should not be any further back than indicated, especially for test flights.
Launching is easy at 1/3rd thro le with a gentle overarm launch. Once your
familiar with the behaviour of the model you can launch from a wing p with a
very gentle side are launch if preferred.The Micro Dammit is designed for
