g) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start
• Even though the model can fly in the narrowest of spaces, for the first test flights we recommend using a free space
of about 3 x 3 m.
• The support should be flat (tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the
model tends to drift off in a particular direction.
• Place yourself exactly behind your helicopter. As long as you can see your model from behind, it will react to the
control commands: right, left, forward, backward exactly as you see it. Whereas, if the cockpit of the model points
towards you, it reacts exactly the opposite way from your steering commands at the transmitter from your view.
Attention!
If the rotors hit any objects and are blocked or if the model falls over when standing, slide the pitch stick (also
see figure 1 item 8) into the bottom-most position at once so that the two drive motors are no longer supplied
with power.
Caution!
Never try grabbing the flying helicopter with your hand. There is an increased danger of injury!
h) Trimming the Model Helicopter
First start the transmitter, then the model.
Push the pitch stick (also see figure 1, item 17) from the bottom position (engine off) carefully forward and observe the
response of your model. Shortly before the helicopter starts hovering, you can already determine in which direction
your model wants to move.
Tail trimming:
If the helicopter is to turn to the right with the tip of the fuselage, reduce the speed until the helicopter is standing safely
on its skids again, and then push the trim button for the tail function (also see figure 1, item 15) repeatedly to the left.
Push the pitch stick carefully forward and check if the adjustment was sufficient. Keep repeating this procedure until
the helicopter no longer has any tendency to turn to the right.
If the tip of the fuselage turns to the left, press the trim button for the tail function to the right.
