INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the JR Venture™ 50 3D ARF helicopter. The
Venture 50 has been designed to provide the aspiring 3D Heli pilot with a model
that is very reliable and durable, while featuring outstanding 3D performance and
affordability. Featuring full ball bearings at all critical locations and a high quality
Swashplate, the Venture 50 will retain its precision and reliability through many
flights. The Venture's unique two-piece box frame design adds rigidity to the
model, while keeping the weight and parts count to a minimum. The Venture is
equally suited for both the aspiring and accomplished 3D pilot, thanks to the
optional 3D control system parts and instructions included with each kit. In its
stock form, the Venture is very smooth and predictable, giving the aspiring 3D
pilot an additional step to success.
JR CCPM
To take the Venture's design to the next level, JR’s designers turned to CCPM
(Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing). CCPM is a unique control system that mounts
three servos below the swashplate with short, straight linkages directly to the
swashplate at 120 degree intervals. With CCPM, complex collective and cyclic
mixing is accomplished electronically, rather than mechanically. As a result,
many parts are eliminated, along with excessive control system play, not to
mention quicker building and lower maintenance.
What’s more, you get more servo power from CCPM. That’s because instead of
one servo moving the collective, you now have three. Instead of one servo moving
the cyclic, you have two.
Before you begin the assembly of your Venture 30 CP, we suggest that you first
review the entire instruction manual to become familiar with the assembly
sequences and parts layout.
Warning
The radio controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a toy but a
sophisticated piece of equipment. This product is not recommended for use
by children. Radio controlled models such as this are capable of causing both
property damage and/or bodily harm to both the operator/assembler and/or
spectator if not properly assembled and operated. Horizon Hobby, Inc. assumes
no liability for damage that could occur from the assembly and/or use/misuse of
this product.
AMA Information
We strongly encourage all prospective and current R/C aircraft pilots to join the
Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a non-profit organization that provides
services to model aircraft pilots. As an AMA member, you will receive a monthly
magazine entitled Model Aviation, as well as a liability insurance plan to cover
against possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require
individuals to hold a current AMA sporting license prior to operation of their
models. For further information, contact the AMA.

Preassembly Information
All small hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) for each step are separated and
packaged separately within the main parts bags. It is suggested that you place all of
the hardware in an open container (e.g., coffee can) during assembly so as not to
lose any of the small parts. It may also be helpful to familiarize yourself with the
various sizes of screws, bolts, nuts, etc., as illustrated in the appropriate assembly
section before you begin assembly. In most cases, at the end of each assembly
section, there should be no parts remaining.
Great care has been taken in filling the bags with the correct quantity of parts and
hardware for each section. However, occasionally mistakes do happen. In the event
that you find a parts shortage or are in need of technical assistance, please contact
your local JR heli division parts dealer or the Horizon Service Center directly.
