Flight preparation
Open the battery compartment and insert the dry or rechargeable cells. Close
the battery compartment. Move all the switches to the forward position, then
switch the transmitter on (Fig. 1). If switch "A" or "B" is in the "ON" position, the
screen will flash, and you will hear a warning "beep". The transmitter cannot be
turned off with the switches in these positions.
Move the collective pitch / throttle stick and trim to their lowest position. Other-
wise the motors will not start.
Open the cover of the battery support frame. Slide the fully charged LiPo flight
battery into the support frame on the helicopter as far as it will go (Figs. 2 and 3).
Do not touch the throttle control. Leave the model motionless for at least three
seconds, otherwise the initialisation process will not take place.
Repeat this procedure every time you wish to fly the model.
The "3D" aerobatic switch SW(B) should only be operated by experienced pilots.
Moving the switch to the "ON" position sets a system rotational speed suitable
for aerobatics.
The hover rotor speed can be adjusted using the "Hover throttle setting" rotary
knob.
Note: the 2.4 GHz transmitter and receiver are supplied already bound at the
factory. It will only be necessary to bind the system again after a repair, or if you
replace a component.
