  • Page 14: C) Adjustment Of The Control Sticks

    The four control channels that are displayed are assigned to the following functions: CH1: Roll function CH2: Nod Function CH3: Pitch function CH4: Tail function Attention! If the power supply is no longer sufficient for a faultless operation of the transmitter (less than 4 V), the LED display (see figure 1, item 2) flashes and the transmitter emits short alarms at regular intervals. In this case, terminate flight operation of the model immediately and insert a new set of batteries in the transmitter or charge the transmitter batteries again. Important: If the remote control emits signals in a quick sequence after activation and the display shows neither the operating voltage nor the control stick display, the control stick for the pitch function is not in the bottom position or the transmitter does not properly recognise the position of the control stick.

  • Page 15: Operation Of The Model Helicopter

    10. Operation of the Model Helicopter a) Charging the Flight Battery The flight battery is charged with the enclosed USB charging adapter. For this, the adapter is connected to a USB socket of a computer/notebook or a commercial USB plug-in mains adapter with the also-enclosed USB plug-in charger. Attention! Do not connect the USB cable to a USB hub without a separate mains adapter (e.g. a keyboard USB port, etc.), because these will not provide sufficient current for charging.

  • Page 16: B) Checking The Drive Mechanics

    b) Checking the Drive Mechanics Before commissioning your model helicopter, you need to check the drive mechanics. Only if the mechanics work secure- ly, without play and absolutely smoothly can be model fly with the lowest possible energy expenditure. For this reason, you should check the model function before each flight. For this, carefully turn the main rotor back and forth and check the interaction of the main gear (1) and the motor pinion (2).

  • Page 17: D) Connecting The Flight Battery

    d) Connecting the Flight Battery Move the control stick for the pitch and tail functions (also see figure 1, item 13) to the bottom position and switch on the trans- mitter. Then connect the plug of the helicopter connection cable (1) that is protected against polarity reversal to the plug connector of the flight battery (2). Observe that the connection cables do not drag at the main pinion (3) and are not damaged.

  • Page 18: E) Basic Information Relevant To The Control Of Model Helicopters

    e) Basic Information Relevant to the Control of Model Helicopters Before you fly your model, you should first familiarize yourself with the control possibilities open to you and thereby be able to fly safely. The model helicopter is controlled via the two control sticks at the remote control transmitter. The following functions are available: Pitch function With the pitch function you can control the flying height of the helicopter (see figure 11). The left control stick (also see figure 1, item 13) is used for control. To that effect, the control stick can be moved forward and backward. Unlike the other control functions, the stick does not keep springing back to the centre position. Because the angles of attack of the rotor blades cannot be changed, the flying height is adjusted by speed changes of the main rotor. Pulling the control stick fully towards you switches off the engine and the rotor stops. If you push the control stick forward, the main rotor runs and increases the speed according to the position of the stick.
  • Page 19 Tail function By turning the main rotor clockwise (seen from the top), a torque acts on the fuselage of the helicopter to turn it counter-clockwise. Therefore, the tail rotor is built to counter this rotation of the fuselage. If the control stick for the tail function (see figure 1, item 13) is in the centre position, the tail rotor speed is automati- cally high enough for the helicopter to hover stably in the air without rotating around the vertical axis (main rotor shaft). If the control stick is moved to the left, the tail rotor speed is decreased and the helicopter fuselage tip points to the left.
  • Page 20 Nod Function The nod function allows you to move your model helicopter forward and backward (see figure 14). This is also con- trolled with the right control stick (also see figure 1, item 3). If you press the stick slightly forward, the model flies forward. If you pull the stick towards the back, the model flies backwards. Figure 14...

  • Page 21: F) Modifying The Transmitter Stick Assignment

    f) Modifying the Transmitter Stick Assignment If you want to fly with the pre-set stick assignment "Mode 2" as described above, then you may skip this chapter. However, if you wish to exchange the control of the pitch and nod function at the transmitter ("Mode 1"), you have the possibility to carry out mechanical modifications on the transmitter. However, this requires some experience in handling remote control sensors and a bit of skill. Caution, important! Before opening the transmitter, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.

  • Page 23: G) Practical Flight Advice For The First Start

    g) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start Even though the model can fly in the narrowest of spaces, for the first test flights we recommend using a free space of about 5 x 5 m. The support should be flat (tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the model tends to drift off in a particular direction. Place yourself exactly behind your helicopter. As long as you can see your model from behind, it will react to the con- trol commands: right, left, forward, backward exactly as you see it.

  • Page 24: H) Trimming In The Model Helicopter

    h) Trimming in the Model Helicopter First start the transmitter, then the model. Push the pitch stick from the bottom position (engine off) carefully forward and observe the response of your model. Shortly before the helicopter starts hovering, you can already determine in which direction your model wants to move. Tail trimming: If the helicopter tries to turn to the right with the tip of the fuselage, reduce the rotating speed until the helicopter is safely on its skids again. Now push the trim button for the tail function (also see figure 1, item 11) to the left several...
  • Page 25 Roll trimming: If the helicopter tries to drift or top to the right, reduce the speed until the helicopter is safely on its skids again. Now push the trim button for the rolling function (also see figure 1, item 5) to the left several times. Push the pitch stick carefully forward and check if the adjustment was sufficient. Repeat the procedure until the model does not show any tendency to drift to the right. If the helicopter tries to drift to the left, push the trim button for the rolling function to the right. The display shows the change of the rolling trimming at the trimming display (see figure 5, item 7). The set value is stored automatically.
  • Page 26 Pitch trimming: Adjust the pitch trimming to the middle value (longer signal sound) with the trim button (see figure 1, item 12). The helicopter should then hover at a consistent height if the control stick for the pitch function is in its middle position. If required, you can correct the control stick position where the helicopter is in hover flight with the trim button. Caution, important! If you push the pitch trim button up repeatedly until the upper end position of the pitch trimming is reached, the rotors of the helicopter may already start up if the flight battery is connected, even though the control stick for the pitch function is in the bottom position.

  • Page 27: Dual Rate" Function

    11. "Dual Rate" Function The "Dual Rate" function can be used to reduce the adjustment paths of the two swash plate servos and the control sensitivity of the tail rotor. Switching takes place with the "Dual Rate" rocker toggle switch. It is possible even in flight. When using the model helicopter indoors, you can therefore control your model more precisely and accurately at reduced control sensitivity.

  • Page 28: Fine Tuning Of The Model Helicopter

    12. Fine Tuning of the Model Helicopter If the nod or roll trim must be adjusted a lot for the helicopter to hover stably and calibration of the control sticks (see following chapter) does not lead to the desired success, you can mechanically adjust the swash plate linkage. For this, it is sensible to remove the canopy.

  • Page 29: Calibration Of The Control Sticks

    13. Calibration of the Control Sticks After conversion of the remote control transmitter from "Mode 1" to "Mode 2", or if the display in the centre position of the respective control sticks is not 50% control path, you need to re-calibrate the control sticks. Proceed as follows: Switch off the remote control transmitter.

  • Page 30: Programming The Remote Control

    14. Programming the Remote Control The remote control is optimally present for the helicopter "HFP80" in the factory. Nevertheless, you can individually adjust the control behaviour of your model helicopter to your control habits, e.g. with the "Dual Rate" function. The remote control is programmed with three buttons that have the following functions: Figure 23 Push-button "UP"...

  • Page 31: A) Servo Direction Setting "Rev

    a) Servo Direction Setting "REV" In this menu, you can individually set the running direction of each control channel. E.g. when a control movement to the left is made on the transmitter, but the model moves to the right, the movement direction or the servo running direction of this control channel must be changed.

  • Page 32: B) "Dual Rate" Function "D/R

    b) “Dual Rate" Function "D/R" With the help of the dual rate function, the deflections for the roll, nod servo as well as the sensitivity of the tail func- tions can be reduced by pushing the toggle switch "Dual Rate" (see figure 1, item 15). You can do this to simply and easily reduce the reaction sensitivity of a model which reacts too aggressively at full extension. Especially for begin- ners, models with reduced rudder deflections are a lot easier to control. In the programming menu, you can individually set the respective maximum and reduced deflection values for control channels 1, 2 and 4. Setting the "Dual Rate" function Call the programming menu. "REV" starts to flash in the display.

  • Page 33: C) Servo End Deflection Setting "Epa

    c) Servo End Deflection Setting "EPA" Using the servo end deflection setting "End Point Adjustment" you can precisely define the maximum size of servo travel that is permitted. The servo end deflection function is typically used to protect servos from mechanically hitting an obstacle when deflecting to the full extent. Foe each of the four control channels (CH1 - CH4), the EPA values can be set individually. The EPA values of all control channels are set to 100% ex works and should not be changed. Setting the servo end deflection Call the programming menu. "REV" starts to flash in the display. Push the buttons "UP" and "DOWN", until "EPA" flashes in the display and you can call it with the button "SELECT".

  • Page 34: D) Timer Setting "Time

    d) Timer Setting "TIME:" The remote control offers the option of starting a timer (1 - 10 minutes) at the push of a button. The remaining timer time is displayed and during the last 30 seconds before the end of the set time, the remote control emits acoustic warning sounds. Thus, the flight time of an electric model can be perfectly used without discharging the rechargeable battery too deeply by linger flight times and thus damaging it.

  • Page 35: Maintenance And Care

    15. Maintenance and Care Clean the exterior of the model and the remote control only with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Never use abrasive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as these could damage the surfaces of the casings. All moving parts have to be easily movable but there should not be a clearance in the bearing. The motor shafts with the rotor shaft must be aligned perfectly straight and must not be eccentric.

  • Page 36: C) Checking The Screw Connections

    c) Checking the Screw Connections Regularly check all screw connections of your helicopter for tight fit. Particularly observe the screws (1 and 2) at the rotor shaft. Important: When the lower screw at the rotor shaft does not hold properly, the entire rotor shaft may slip down in a hard touch-down.
