not need to be made prior to
first flight.

Confirm gyro direction.
With radio on, move helicopter’s tail to the right by hand.
The gyro should give right rudder input (leading edge of the tail rotor
blades move left).
If the gyro gives the opposite input, reverse direction on the gyro unit itself.

Be sure to follow your model’s instructions for preflight checks, blade tracking, ect. Never assume a set of
blades are properly balanced and will track without checking.
Check receiver battery voltage! Always check voltage with a voltmeter prior to each and every engine
start.(Never assume being plugged in all night means your radio gear is ready to fly).Insufficient charge,
binding servo linkages ,and other problems can result in a dangerous crash with the possibility of injury to
yourself, others and property.
Confirm the swashplate is level at 0 travel. Adjust arms if needed.
Apply full collective and check that the swashplate remained level and there is no binding. Repeat for full
cyclic pitch and roll. If not, adjust as needed to correct in END POINT:
Important note: prior to setting up throttle hold, idle-ups, offsets, etc, be sure to get your normal condition
operating properly.
Checking setup prior to going airborne: Check voltage! Then, with the assistance of an instructor, and having
completed all range checks, etc, gradually apply throttle until the helicopter becomes “light on the skids.”
Adjust trims as needed to correct for any roll, pitch, or yaw tendencies. If the tail “wags,” the gyro gain is too
high. Decrease gyro gain.
1. Periodically move the throttle stick to full and back down to ensure proper servo settings.
2. It is critical that dials A and C be centered when the pitch and throttle curves are setup.
