> Inspect the »NovaX 350 for damage before every flight. Replace damaged components
before flying again. Only use original spare parts.
> Observe the condition of each motor:
» Motor shaft
» Propeller position and condition
> Always replace defective parts immediately.
> If you are unsure about your product’s condition consult an experienced RC pilot or
contact our customer support. Do not attempt any further flight until the »NovaX 350
is fit for flight.

> Whenever possible, attempt to touch down vertically (“helicopter landing”). Avoid
landing with high horizontal speeds (“airplane landing”) to prevent the legs from getting
entangled, resulting in the »NovaX 350 tumbling.
> After landing, always turn off the motors. Disconnect the battery if you do not
immediately fly the »NovaX 350 again.
31.4.4 Trimming
> Trimming allows you to equalize drifting. Drifting refers to movement out of position
when in hover flight without aileron or elevator input.
> Refer to your transmitter’s operating instructions for more information.
31.4.5 Gradual learning
Be careful when applying RUDDER, which will rotate the
»NovaX 350 around its vertical centre axis, causing you
to become disoriented. Study carefully how AILERON and
ELEVATOR behave after applying RUDDER.
> Practise taking off and landing a few times to get a feel for the »NovaX 350.
> Once you are reasonably sure, you can begin to the course with rudder, elevator and
aileron. Always fly slowly and with extra care and practice before trying new flight
manoeuvers.
