Electric Motor warning
Electric motors are very dangerous. Please remove the
pinion gear or unplug the motor while working on the
model.
Turning the Model On
Always turn the Transmitter on first. Then, with the EQ.45 sitting still, plug the battery into the ESC. The EQ.45 will
need to sit still for 10 seconds so the gyro can initialize and determine centre. If the EQ.45 is moved during this
initialization, then the gyro will not operate properly.
Always step 5 m away from the helicopter before flipping any switches or operating the throttle. Do not hold onto the
model and run it up.
Safety first!!!
.
Range Check
Ground check the operational range of your radio before the first flight of the day. For safety reasons, unplug the main
motor so power cannot be applied to the main rotor blades. With the transmitter antenna collapsed and the receiver
and transmitter on, you should be able to walk at least 15 m away from the model and still have control. Have an
assistant stand by your model and while you work the controls, tell you what the servos are doing. If the controls do not
respond correctly, do
not fly!
Find and correct the problem first. Look for loose servo connections or broken wires,
corroded wires on old servo connectors, poor solder joints in your battery pack or a defective cell or a damaged
receiver crystal from a previous crash.
Balance the Main Blades
The EQ.45 main rotor blades are already balanced and ready to fly
.
General
Take your time and follow the instruction for a safe flight.
9
Do not fly the model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows, or model flying demonstrations until it has been
proven to be airworthy by having been previously, successfully flight tested.
9
Do not fly the helicopter higher than approximately 130 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the
airport operator. Avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an observer shall be
utilized to supervise flying to avoid having models fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.

Where established, follow the safety rules for the flying site used, and do not willfully and deliberately fly the
models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.
9
Do not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).
Radio Control

Complete a successful radio equipment ground check before the first flight of a new or repaired model.
9
Do not fly the model aircraft in the presence of spectators until you become a qualified flier, unless assisted by
an experienced helper.
9
At all flying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be established in front of which all flying takes place with the
other side for spectators. Only personnel involved with flying the aircraft are allowed at or in the front of the
flight line. Intentional flying behind the flight line is prohibited.
9
Operate the model using only radio control frequencies currently allowed by the Government.

Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a powered model in flight;
nor
