If you want different function assignments for the control stick than the default factory settings but are not in a position
to carry this out yourself, you can send the transmitter in to our customer service department in Hirschau. Our technicians
will convert the remote control to suit your requirements and you will be billed for this work.
i) Practical Flight Tips 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.
j) Trimming the Helicopter
First start the transmitter, then the model.
Push the pitch stick (see figure 1, item 11) 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.
If the helicopter wants to turn to the right with the tip of the fuselage, then reduce the speed and push the trim slider for
the tail function (see figure 1, item 10) gradually to the left.
Push the pitch lever 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 nose of the fuselage turns to the left, carry out a
right trim adjustment.
