f) Basic information relevant to the control of model helicopters
Before operating your model, you should know the available control possibilities first in order to be able to safely
control the model. The model helicopter is controlled via the two control sticks and different switches at the remote
control transmitter.
g) Transfer of the control commands
The control commands you enter on the transmitter are not passed on 1:1 to the model; instead, it is processed
beforehand in the transmitter's electronics. This is supposed to facilitate the piloting of the model helicopter. If you
increase e.g. the pitch of the main rotor blades, the energy requirement increases substantially. Do not react to this by
accelerating. This is performed by the electronics in the transmitter in line with your programming by sending the
correspondingly mixed commands to the receiver electronics.
Pitch function
The pitch defines the angle of approach of the main rotors. The steeper the angle of approach, the more lift the main
rotor generates. The flight height of a helicopter and/or the speed is affected by the pitch function.
To that effect, the control stick (ill. 1, pos. 18) can be moved forward and backward. Unlike with other control functions,
the stick does not keep springing back to the centre position.
• Pulling the control stick all the way towards you switches off the engine and the rotors stop.
• If you push the control stick forward, the motor starts and increase the angle of approach of the main rotor blades.
More throttle is applied additionally.
• When the control stick reaches the centre position, the helicopter should hover.
Yaw function
Yawing denotes the rotation of the helicopter around the vertical axis. With the yawing function, you define the direction
of the fuselage tip. With an integrated gyro, the model automatically compensates rotation movements that were not
triggered by a command on the transmitter but by e.g. wind.
• If the stick (ill. 1, pos. 18) is steered slightly towards the left, the tip of the fuselage turns towards the left.
• If you steer towards the right, the tip of the fuselage turns likewise towards the right.
Roll function
The roll function allows you to move your model helicopter sideways to the right and to the left. The control is effected
with the corresponding control stick (see figure 1, Pos. 6).
• If the stick is steered towards the left, the model drifts sideways to the left.
• If you steer to the right, the model drifts sideways to the right.
Nod function
With the help of the nod function, you can let the helicopter fly forwards or backwards. The control is effected with the
corresponding control stick (see figure 1, Pos. 6).
• If you press the stick forward, the model flies forward.
• If you pull the stick towards the back, the model flies backwards.
