Draganfly Draganflyer SAVS, Инструкция по эксплуатации

Страница: 18 / 26

Select a large, open area, away from anything or anybody that the Draganflyer might cause damage to.
Prepare for flight and trim the helicopter. Begin by establishing a hover just above your head and at least
25-30 feet away from yourself.
Turn 90 degrees and start moving forwards. Continue the forward motion, and turn to begin flying in a
circle around yourself. Do not fly around yourself continuously as you may get dizzy; instead fly a few
circles to the left, then to the right, taking breaks often. Try to maintain a constant altitude and to keep
the front of the Draganflyer continuously pointed in the direction of motion. Once you can fly circles
around yourself, try reversing direction as you complete each circle and climbing/descending as you fly.
Lesson 7: Advanced Forward Flight
If you have mastered basic forward flight and nose-in flight, you are truly a master of the Draganflyer.
Flying figure-8s will be the last test. Once you can fly the figure-8 consistently and repeatedly, you are
ready to perform any other advanced maneuvers such as pirouettes, fast forward(and backward!) flight,
rapid climbs and descents, and anything else you can think of. Please remember however, to keep safety
first. It’s no fun when somebody gets hurt.
Pre-flight Checks
Before flying your Draganflyer it is essential to do a preflight check to ensure that your helicopter is in
good flight condition. This list of simple procedures will not only make your flying experience more en-
joyable but could also save you time and money by preventing in-flight failures.
• Ensure that the batteries are fully charged, a weak helicopter battery will result in poor flight perform-
ance and a depleted transmitter battery will lead to bad signal reception and erratic flight characteris-
tics possible even crashes.
• Visually inspect all frame components for damage such as cracks and breaks, any damaged compo-
nents should be replaced before attempting to fly
• Visually inspect all rotor blades to ensure they are free of cracks, as this may cause the rotor to fail in
flight.
• Ensure all rotor mounting bolts are securely tightened, loose rotor mounting bolts may come out dur-
ing flight
• Check the motor alignment to ensure that the motors are pointing directly vertical when the Dragan-
flyer is on a flat level surface.
