Troubleshooting - Carrera RC Neon Storm Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

• Make yourself familiar with the control system
• Trim the helicopter as necessary as described under "Controlling the helicop-
ter", so that when hovering the helicopter no longer moves from the spot,
until given a command by the controller.

• Press the button to start the helicopter (Figure
• The helicopter is now ready to be flown.
• If the helicopter displays no functions, retry the above binding procedure.

Controlling the helicopter
In case you don´t know the control functions of your Carrera RC helicopter
7
yet, please take some minutes before the first flight in or to make yourself
familiar with them. The descriptions left or right refer to the view out of the
cockpit (pilote´s view). Push the throttle up to increase the rotational speed of
the main rotor blades. Increase the rotational speed of the main rotor blades
and the model will start to ascend.
If you push down the throttle and thus reduce the rotational speed of the main
rotor blades the helicopter will descend. When the model has lifted off the
ground you can get it into stationary hovering without abrupt ascending or de-
scending by carefully moving the throttle upwards and downwards. The right-
hand joystick can be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly forwards/
backwards or in a circle at the same flying height.
Move the right lever (tail) to the left and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws)
8
round the main rotor's axis in a circle to the left.
Move the right lever (tail) to the right and the helicopter's nose turns (yaws)
round the main rotor's axis in a circle to the right.
Use the trimmer for tail until you have reached a stable neutral position of the
helicopter when hovering, without moving the right lever (tail).
The forward-/backward lever controls the helicopter´s pitch forward and
9
backward. When shifting the lever forward the nose of the helicopter will
move downwards and the helicopter will fly forward. When shifting the for-
ward-/backward lever backward the helicopter will move backwards and the
helicopter will fly backward.
Choosing the flight area
The helicopter can only be flown outdoors when there is little or no
10
wind. Please be aware that, although it may be calm on the ground, it
may still be very windy even a little way off the ground. If this warning is
disregarded, it may lead to total loss of the helicopter.
After having trimmed your helicopter for flight and having made your-
11
self familiar with the controlling and its functions you may start flying
in smaller and less open environments.
Automatic control of altitude
The Helicopter will maintain the current flying altitude automatically as
12
soon as you release the left-hand joystick during the flight. The right-hand
joystick can be used, without using the left-hand joystick, to fly forwards/back-
wards or in a circle at the same flying height.

Auto-Start & Fly to ≈ 1 m
Press the 'Auto-start & fly to ≈1 m' button on the controller, in order to start
13
the motors and automatically fly up to the altitude of about 1 m . You are
able to influence the direction of flight at any time during the starting operation
by means of moving the right joystick. The helicopter will maintain itself in po-
sition automatically as soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached.
Auto Landing
You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of
14
pressing the 'Auto landing' button. The speed of the rotors will reduce
gradually as a result. You are able to influence the landing position at any time
during the landing procedure by means of moving the right-hand joystick. The
motor will switch itself off as soon as the helicopter is on the ground.
Trimming the helicopter
Auto-trimming
15
1. Place the helicopter on a horizontal surface.
2. Link the helicopter with the controller as described in "Linking the
model with the controller".
3. Slide the gas lever and the lever for forward / back simultane-
ously into the right lower corner. The LED on the helicopter flashes
on briefly and then lights up continuously. The signalling tone will
sound once.
4. The neutral setting is completed.
When hovering and without you moving the lever for circling on the spot,
16
if the helicopter rotates to left or right, proceed as follows: If the helicopter
rotates quickly or slowly to the left around its own axis, press the trimmer for
rotation below left in steps to the right. If the helicopter rotates to the right,
press the trimmer for rotation in steps to the left.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Remote control does not work.
Cause:
The ON/OFF-power switch is turned "OFF".
Solution: Turn the ON/OFF-power switch "ON".
Cause:
The batteries have been wrongly inserted.
Solution: Check if the batteries have been correctly inserted.
Cause:
The batteries do not have enough power.
Solution: Insert new batteries.
Problem: The helicopter cannot be controlled with the remote control
Cause: The power switch on the reomote control is turned "OFF".
Solution: First turn the power switch on the remote control "ON".
Cause: The remote control is possibly not correctly frequency bound with the
receiver on the helicopter.
Solution: Link as described in
Problem: The rotor blades do not rotate.
Cause: The power switch on the model or the controller is at "OFF"
Solution: Turn the ON/OFF-power switch "ON".
Cause: The rechargeable battery is too weak or has run out of power.
Solution: Charge the battery (see chapter "Charging the battery").
Problem: The helicopter does not lift.
Cause: The rotor blades rotate too slowly.
Solution: Push the throttle up.
Cause:
The battery´s power is not sufficient.
Solution: Charge the battery (see chapter "Charging the battery").
Problem: During flight, the helicopter loses speed and height without any
obvious reason.
Cause:
The battery is too weak.
Solution: Charge the battery (see chapter "Charging the battery").
Problem: The helicopter lands too quickly.
Cause: Loss of throttle control.
Solution: Push the throttle down slowly.
Cause: Throttle has been pushed down too quickly.
