Turning around the longitudinal
axis (banking or turn): aileron
Free axes of revolution:
or a ship, the MINIMOA is controllable at all axes
(3D) as soon as it moves in the air. Changes in
attitude and flight direction are initiated by
movement of the control surfaces (rudder, elevator,
and aileron).
Power switch:
Transmitter and receiver are
each equipped with a switch to turn on or off
current supply.
Propeller (airscrew):
by the motor and generates the propulsion of the
model. The power of the motor, size and weight of
the model and resulting air speed, determine the
design of a propeller. The better the propeller is
matched for a model, the better the efficiency and
flying performance. There are two important
dimensions that determine a propellers
performance. Diameter and pitch preferably
indicated by the inch. The propeller of the
MINIMOA with the values 5x4,5 (inches) has a
diameter of 5and a pitch of 4,5 inches; during one
rotation this would make a forward movement of
4,5 inches for one revolution. If rotating at 8,000
rpm that would result in approx 34 mph. The speed
which can be attained is slightly lower as the
propeller can generate propulsion only with a
certain amount of "slip".
Receiver:
The receiver intercepts the signals of
the transmitter via its antenna and converts them
into pulses for the servos which operate the control
surfaces. In addition it converts the radio signals
for the electronic speed controller which regulates

the speed of the electric motor according to the
position of the throttle lever on the transmitter.
Receiver and speed controller are already installed
into your MINIMOA. Only equipment from the
same manufacturer will work with the 2.4 MHz
technology used here.
Rudder:
The rudder of most airplane designs
utilise at least one fin, preferably in a vertical
position with a movable flap at the end. By
swinging the flap to the left or to the right, affects
the airflow which moves the tail of the airplane
sideward. Together with other effects (V-shape of
the wing or operating the here optional ailerons)
the rudder starts turning the airplane.
Servo:
The steering signals of the
transmitter are converted by the
receiver into control values for the
allocated servos. The servo motor
operates the servo lever by means of a gear, which
then moves in an arc according to the signal, up to
1/6th of a circle. Usually the servo lever is
connected via rods to the control surfaces.
Speed controller:
The electronic speed
controller regulates the speed of the motor with
almost no power loss, by switching the motor
current on and off (with a very high frequency) in
differing long pulses. If the voltage of the battery
drops by continuous discharge below a certain
limit, needed to operate the servos, the speed
controller will stop the motor. Your MINIMOA
r emains controllable n a power off glide. i
