Ground Effect; Free Flying Training - Carson Airbeast 507013 Instruction Manual

g. Ground Effect
ATTENTION!
Up to a height of about 30 cm, the model
is in the area of influence of the air
turbulence caused by its own rotors.
On one hand, this "ground effect" facilitates the lift off of the
helicopter since the air pressed downwards by the rotors of the
helicopter helps lift the aircraft from the ground.
But in the immediate area this effect is reversed, since the air
flowing away laterally from the helicopter creates an underpres-
sure and the model is actually sucked back down towards the
ground. This can lead to an ungentle landing.
h. Free flying training
The helicopter is no longer in the area of influence of the air
turbulence from its own rotors as of a flying height of about 2 m
and the flight situation is more stable.
If you have mastered hover flight, begin
with simple flying formations:
• Train your command of the model, allow it to ascend and
descend, hover and move forwards and backward in the air
as well as execute turns.

Free flying training

• When you feel secure, stand laterally to the model and
practice control from this angle of view or
• allow the model to fly toward you and control it in the
opposite direction
• Avoid jerky load variation. since otherwise the upper and
lower rotor could touch and cause the model to crash.
• Always fly the model in front of you or allow it to circle above
you. If you allow the model to fly behind your back, you
could lose your orientation and thereby the control over the
helicopter.

For this reason the
flight behaviour of
the model at low
heights is rather
unstable. If the
restless flight
behaviour causes
difficulties for you,
increase the flying
height by degrees.
Never attempt to catch the model in
mid flight!
