Engine Stopping
Pull down the engine control stick and the trim.
If the engine still does not stop, pull out the fuel pipe from the

Tracking Adjustment
The tracking adjustment consists in making the main rotor pitch
on both blades equal.
Slowly pull up the throttle control stick.
Look at the blades directly from the side.
If both main rotor blades look like in:
(both blades travel in the same plane), no further adjusting is needed.
(both blades track separately), further adjusting is needed.
Take the blade with the tracking tape as a base.
If the other blade (without the tracking tape) tracks lower, rotate
the ball end of the pitch rod half a turn left.
If the other blade (without the tracking tape) tracks higher, rotate
the ball end of the pitch rod half a turn right.
Proceed the same way until both main rotor blades will travel in
the same plane as in
