WARNING!
Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory
liability insurance since 2005. Contact your private liability insurer
and make sure that your new and earlier models are included in your
insurance coverage. Request written confirmation and keep this in a
safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial membership free of
charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.
8 CHANGING THE ROTOR BLADES
If the rotor blades of the helicopter are damaged and you must
replace them, proceed as follows:
8A
Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the rotor
blades.
The rotor blades are marked with A (top) and B (bottom).
8B
Unscrew the blade retaining screw in anticlockwise motion.
8C
Now replace the defective rotor blade with a new rotor blade.
Make sure that
the direction of rotation A or B is correct.
8D
Screw in the blade retaining screw from above.
Attention:
Do not
over-tighten the screw. The rotor blade must pivot freely.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE FLYING
GENERAL FLYING TIPS:
• Always place the model on a level surface. An inclined surface can,
under certain circumstances, have a negative impact on the starting
behavior of the model.
• Always operate the controls slowly and with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the model and do not look at the
remote control!
• Move the thrust control down again somewhat as soon as the model
lifts off from the ground. Maintain flying altitude by adjusting the
thrust controller.
• If the model lowers, move the thrust control slightly upward again.
• If the model climbs, move the thrust control down slightly.
• In order to fly along a curve, it often suffices to tap the control for
forward/back and clockwise/anti-clockwise rotation very slightly in
the respective direction.
There is a general tendency during preliminary attempts at flight to
operate the model‘s controls too aggressively. The control for forward/
backward and clockwise/anti-clockwise rotation should always be
moved slowly and carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming before attempting to master
the thrust controller. The model does not necessarily have to fly
straight at the beginning – initially, it is more important to maintain a
constant height of approximately one meter above the ground by
repeatedly tapping the thrust control. Only then should the pilot
practice steering the model left and right.
SUITABLE FLYING ENVIRONMENT:
The location in which the helicopter is flown should fulfil the following
criteria:
• It should be an indoor location without any wind. Insofar as possible,
there should be no air conditioning systems, heaters, etc. that can
cause air currents.
• The room should be at least 10 metres long, six metres wide and
three metres high.
• No disruptive objects, such as fans, lamps, etc. should be present in
the room.
• When initialising take-off, make absolutely sure that all persons and
animals – including the pilot – are at least 1-2 metres removed from
the aircraft before flight begins.
• Always watch the aircraft to ensure it does not fly into and injure the
pilot, other people or animals.
