Operating

The Micro B-2 Spirit is equipped with Spektrum AS3X (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) technology, which works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, providing a locked-in feel. For new pilots or those seeking additional assistance, optional SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) Select technology can be activated. SAFE Select offers flight envelope protection, limiting pitch and bank angles, and providing automatic self-leveling.

Flight characteristics: This flying wing model is known for its unique flight profile. It is recommended to maintain adequate airspeed during flight and landing to prevent stalls. For landings, a controlled approach with minimal throttle is advised, especially on grass surfaces if the landing gear is not installed.
