WARNING!
Keep hands, clothing, eyes, animals and chil-
dren well clear when connecting power to
this model and when flying it!
•
Make sure that the ‘3D’ (idle up) switch and
the ‘throttle hold’ switch are pushed fully
forward (towards the back of the
transmitter)
•
Fully extend the transmitter antenna.
•
Switch on the transmitter.
•
Turn on the helicopter by connecting the
connector from the speed controller to the
matching connector on the battery as
shown.
•
Make sure that you are well clear of the
main and tail rotors and the throttle
stick and trim are at the lowest position
.
•
Do not move the helicopter for a few
seconds. This allows the gyro to
initialize.
•
The tail servo will twitch and the indicator
light on the gyro will illuminate when the
gyro is armed.
•
NOTE - always disconnect the
helicopter battery before turning off the
transmitter
8. RANGE CHECK.
•
Check that the controls operate without
any interference at a minimum distance of
50 metres.
WARNING!
Do not operate the model with a collapsed or
partially collapsed transmitter antenna. This
can greatly reduce the range and cause a
loss of control over the model.
CONTROL CHECK
Aileron (roll cyclic) control
•
View the helicopter from behind and move
the aileron stick (roll cyclic) left and right.
This the right hand stick on both Mode 1
and Mode 2 transmitters. The swash plate
of the helicopter should match the stick
movements e.g. the swash plate will tilt
right with the stick moved to the right.
•
Should the swash plate move on the oppo-
site direction, this function will need to be
reversed. Refer to the Twister R/C radio
instructions.
Elevator (fore & aft cyclic) control
•
Now move the elevator stick (fore & aft
cyclic). This is the left stick on a Mode 1
transmitter and right hand stick on a Mode
2 transmitter. When the stick is pushed for-
ward, the swash plate should tilt forward.
•
Should the swash plate move in the oppo-
site direction, again refer to the radio in-
structions on reversing this function.
Rudder (yaw) control
•
Move the rudder stick left and right. This is
the left hand stick on both Mode 1 and
Mode 2 transmitters and check the direc-
tion of the tail rotors.
