With the operator in the seat, show the operator the functions of the joysticks
[B]
and
[C]
and how to start the machine. Refer to Figure 2.3.1.
A hard level concrete slab with water on the surface is an ideal place for an
operator to practice with the machine. For practice pitch the blades up
approximately 1/4 inch on the trailing edge. Start by making the machine
hover in one spot and then practice driving the machine in a straight line and
making 180 degree turns. Best control is achieved at full engine RPM.
After starting engine fully engage the throttle.
This allows the engine to warm up quicker. At this time
the machine’s rotors will begin turning.
DO NOT
use excessive pressure on the joysticks.
Excessive pressure does not increase the reaction
time of the machine and can damage steering controls.
