    OTHER REQUIREMENTS Radios: Any radio that supports EMS/CCPM Mixing will work fine. Note: Please consult the instruction for your Gyro for setting the overall travel and limits to ensure proper operation and travel of Tail Pitch Slider. Servos: Any premium, sport, or high quality servo will offer acceptable performance. However, because servos operate all critical functions of the helicopter, they can be the single most important component that contributes to proper function of the helicopter.

  • Page 14 Step 1 Read the entire manual to become familiar with the layout of the machine and these instructions. Verify the parts in each bag with the Pick list that came with your kit. Be careful to set up a good work area so parts do not get lost and always reseal the bags when you are finished working or have taken out the parts you plan to install in the current work session.
  • Page 15 Step 2 Check and layout the parts for the lower frame assembly. The table below shows the parts and tools necessary for this work session. Building this part first will give you a strong base for the entire assembly. It will help to keep your hands free eliminating the need for a third hand.

  • Page 25 Step 9 Install radio tray: If not already done, you must prepare the radio tray for the flathead screws by beveling the holes with a 45 degree countersink bit. If using a drill press, set it up with the bit lowered to any hole and drill in small increments until you reach the proper depth then set the depth stop on the drill press for the rest of the holes.

  • Page 91 First, set your radio so that all travel values are at 100%. If you have a radio with Swash Mixing set, set those values to 50% (Aileron, Elevator, and Pitch.) Then use servo reversing so that all servos are moving in the right direction.

  • Page 94 adjust the max climb rpm by reducing throttle. There are other ways of achieving this by using cyclic mixing, however we will stay away from this for now. Follow the pitch guidelines in the table above, and if you need more pitch at max power because the rpm is increasing, then add pitch. 10 is just a guideline and will work in most setups, but a powerful motor or a light helicopter might need more.
