Rudder 

1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Turn TH HOLD ON and put transmitter in normal mode. 
3. Connect the helicopter battery to the ESC.

NOTICE:

 Do not allow the helicopter to move until the 

Status LED is solid blue and all menu LEDs are OFF. The 
gyro will not operate correctly if the helicopter moves 
before the Status LED is solid blue.

4.  Move the rudder stick to the right. The tail rotor blades 

move as shown. If they do not move as shown, reverse the 
rudder channel in the transmitter (refer to your transmitter 
manual for instructions).

5.  Release the rudder 

control. Manually 
turn the helicopter 
nose to the left. The 
tail rotor blades 
automatically move 
as shown. If they 
do not move as 
shown, refer to the 
AR7210BX manual 
for information on 
reversing the tail 
sensor direction (Setup menu point F).

Cyclic

When using a fl ybarless rotor head, you are controlling 
rotational rates while the AR7210BX controls the servos. 
You are not directly controlling the servos with the 
transmitter.

It is normal for the swashplate to slowly move back 
to its original position after a stick input and for the 
servos to not move at the same speed as your control 
sticks.

1. Tilt the helicopter forward. The swashplate should tilt 

backward.

2. Tilt the helicopter backward. The swashplate should tilt 

forward.

3. Roll the helicopter left. The swashplate should roll right.
4. Roll the helicopter right. The swashplate should roll left.
5. If the swashplate does not move in the correct direction, 

you will need to reverse the cyclic sensor direction. 
Refer to the AR7210BX manual for more information 
(Setup menu point M).

Control Tests

CAUTION:

 You must complete the Rudder and Cyclic tests prior to fl ight. Failure to complete the tests ensuring the 

sensor directions are not reversed can cause the helicopter to crash, resulting in property damage and injury. 

Throttle Hold

Throttle hold only turns off the motor on an electric
helicopter. You maintain pitch and direction control. 
The blades will spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn 
throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter 
or check the direction controls.

Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor if the
helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both.

Cyclic and Collective Control Test

Turn on Throttle Hold when doing the control tests.
