Iv. Controlling the VNR II
The principle of flying:
The Venom Night Ranger II generates lift using the rotor blades. The
main rotor is driven by a motor, and also generates unwanted torque.
The Venom Night Ranger II always rotates around its vertical axis, the
tail rotor counteracts this unwanted rotation by producing thrust in the
lateral directions. The tail rotor’s thrust can be varied purposely in order
to change the Venom Night Ranger II’s heading. There are two basic
functions required to control the Venom Night Ranger II: (1) climbing and
descending is controlled by altering rotor thrust, (2) rotation around the
vertical axis is controlled through the thrust of the tail rotor by varying its
rotational speed. However, you must also be able to steer the Venom
Night Ranger II forwards and backwards and to both sides. This task is
carried out by the cyclic control system. The cyclic control system
consists of servos, swashplate, stabilizer and main rotor blades. Their
pitch angle is varied cyclically by the servos via the swashplate. This
action tilts the rotational plane of the flybar paddles, and thereby the main
rotor. The main rotor remains parallel to the swashplate. If the
swashplate inclines forwards, the plane of the flybar paddles also inclines
forwards. The result is that the thrust of the rotor is directed slightly
towards the rear instead of vertically, and the Venom Night Ranger II
responds by moving in the forward direction. There are four control
functions of the control system, and we need all of them to properly fly
the Venom Night Ranger II.
Flying Environments:
What you need now is a spacious room without any obstacles. Make
sure that the air is calm. Drafts caused by open windows or doors should
be avoided. We recommend a flat, smooth floor on which the Venom
Night Ranger II can slide, soft carpet is not a good choice for flying,
because it could hook the skid of the Venom Night Ranger II and cause
damage.
Attention: Errors and carelessness in assembling and flying the
Venom Night Ranger II can result in serious personal injury and
damage to property. Never touch the spinning rotor blades or any
other exposed moving parts.
Operation Procedures:
1.
Place the Venom Night Ranger II in the middle of the room, you
should always stand approximately 6 ft (2m) from the Venom Night
Ranger II and behind the tail. Make sure that your Venom Night
Ranger II and transmitter have been assembled properly and adjusted
completely. Switch the transmitter on, then connect the fully
charged battery to let the gyro initiate. Once the gyro initiates,
check once more that the servos are operating correctly
before proceeding.
2. Now you are ready to start learning to fly. The control diagrams on the
next two pages will help you trim and fly the helicopter.
3. Initially you do not need to worry about how to operate your Venom
Night Ranger II skillfully. Through practice, you will become more
confident operating the controls and adjusting the throttle. When your
fingers respond to the movements of the Venom Night Ranger II
spontaneously, you are ready for more advanced flying. Please note
that the directions described on this page are if you are facing the tail
of the VNR II. If you are facing the nose left and right will be reversed
as your right is now the Venom Night Ranger II’s left.
