Fine Tuning of the Model Helicopter
Your model helicopter in now ready for the first test flights and you can start training. However, even during flight
training you should definitely keep in mind some basic things.
• For hover flight training, the tail of the helicopter must always point in your direction.
• To start, lift the helicopter approx. 20 – 30 cm from the ground, in order to be able to have it touch down quickly in
case of an emergency landing.
• In case of an emergency landing, do not retract the pitch lever too quickly, as the helicopter will touch down very
hard.
• If the rotors are blocked by an obstacle, pull the Pitch lever immediately in the lowest position in order to switch off
the drive motors.
• At the start location, draw a mark on the ground and try maintaining the helicopter in a hover directly above it.
Attention!
If you notice after a few minutes that the engine performance of your electronic helicopter declines and you
have to keep pushing the pitch control lever forwards to retain flight height, cease operation immediately.
Then leave the helicopter battery to cool down and then charge it. Avoid, in any case, a total discharge of
the helicopter battery!
If after a few flights you develop a keen sense of your helicopter, you can carry out further optimizations.
