Although the helicopter’s trim has been factory set, you will need to fine tune the
settings so that your helicopter can maintain a better balanced hover
IMPORTANT: KEEP YOUR CONTROL INPUTS VERY S-L-O-W & GENTLE
1. Set the collective Throttle joystick and trim slider to its lowest setting. All other
trim sliders should be at their mid positions.
2. After completing the ‘Power-On (Failsafe) Procedure’, place your model on a
smooth, flat surface which will allow it to slide and turn (a landing board is idea).
Tip:
The helicopter will find the
rudder central automatically in
3 seconds after the helicopter
landing on the ground
3. Keeping a safe 1 to 2 metres away from your model, always ready to switch off
the Throttle, S-L-O-W-L-Y advance the collective Throttle joystick until you can see
that the model’s landing skids are just trying to lift but are not yet hovering.
4. Observe how your helicopter behaves.
5. Most likely, your model will begin to Yaw (rotate) or Roll (topple to one side). It
may even show signs of an inclination to Pitch (Rock forwards or backwards) onto
its nose or tail.
6. Adjust the appropriate trim slider(s) to counteract any observed movement(s).
7. Once the trim sliders have balanced your helicopter, it is time to test the Rudder
response. Move the collective joystick S-L-O-W-L-Y to the Left/Right and verify that
your model is responding as shown in the ‘Effects of Controls’ illustration.
8. You will probably find you need to re-adjust the slider trim to get an equal
response from Left/Right Rudder inputs.
If your helicopter’s control response do not correspond to the behaviour described in
‘Effects of Controls’, check that your Servo Reverse switches are set correctly.
Note:
we have not yet used the cyclic joystick controls (other than their trim sliders),
as these will tilt the helicopter, which may cause the lower rotors to touch the
ground. This would result in wear or damage.
