Once you have learned the knack of taking off briskly, maintai-
ning a given height, and landing softly, it is time to practise the
roll, pitch-axis and yaw functions. During these flights keep the
tail facing you at all times.
It is important to keep your model in one position at first; try to
keep it in the same position and attitude as after take-off.
CAUTION:
land the model immediately when the flight bat-
tery is almost flat. For example: when the GALAXY VISI-
TOR 3 cannot climb higher than 0.5 metres. Don't fly the
model again until you have given the flight battery a full
charge.
Remove the flight battery from the model immediately after lan-
ding, and switch the transmitter off.
If your model crashes after colliding with an obstacle, it is es-
sential to check for damage caused by the impact before you fly
again.
Please don't leave the flight battery in the model when you are
not actually flying it. Never discharge the battery completely, as
deep-discharging can ruin it. If you do not intend to fly the model
for a long period, it is best to remove the dry cells from the trans-
mitter too.
Brake function
The GALAXY VISITOR 3 features an automatic brake function.
If you abruptly release the roll / pitch-axis stick while the model
is flying forward, its forward speed is automatically reduced. This
function can be very useful in avoiding collisions with obstacles.
Practice flying
The flying field
The model should only ever be flown in a suitable environment
such as an indoor flying hall, devoid of obstacles. If you wish to
fly the quadrocopter in the open air, please note that there should
be no wind, and no trees, high-tension cables or other obstacles
in the vicinity.
Practising with the model
Check the model and the radio control system, then switch
the transmitter on, followed by the model.
Place the GALAXY VISITOR 3 on the ground about two metres
in front of you, and check that its tail is facing you.
Cautiously move the throttle stick forward until the model lifts off.
Allow the copter to rise briskly to a height of about 0.5 metres,
and try to keep it motionless. If the model is unstable, uncon-
trollable or vibrates, reduce the throttle again immediately and
land the GALAXY VISITOR 3.
If you are a beginner, we recommend that you keep to a height
of about 0.5 metres during the first few flights. Please do not fly
lower than 0.3 metres, because the model will then be in ground-
effect, which is caused by the downflow of air from the rotors.
This effect makes it more difficult to fly the machine smoothly. It
is also important not to fly too high, as any unintended crash will
then result in more serious damage.
