Switching on
When the HeliCommand is switched on, it carries out a self-test (LED flashes 8
x). During this period the helicopter must be standing horizontal and must be left
untouched. LED flashes red continuously: error message (page 8)
Take-off
Don't take the model off before the servos are responding to the controls!
It is important to check the controls because the throttle servo or speed
controller would respond to the transmitter even if all the other servos were
not yet receiving a signal; this might be because the self-test is still running, or
because an error has been detected.
Flying
Please observe the safety measures (page 36) at all times.
In particular, never take your eyes off the helicopter in the air even when
position mode is switched on, as occasional drift or interference influences may
occur at any time without warning.
•
Indoor flying: please be sure to read the notes on page 33
•
Do not fly inverted or attempt aerobatics (3D) with the 3A version;
see page 34
•
Models without a flybar can only be stabilised using the RIGID version, and
only then if RIGID mode is activated; see page 34
•
Even though the system incorporates integral fail-safe and stabilisation
circuits, it is not capable of avoiding all crashes caused by radio interference,
other transmitters etc. We recommend that you use a PCM system, and check
the aerial deployment in the model very carefully.
•
Severe stress, vibration and ageing will eventually take their toll on system
accuracy, and may require a readjustment of the internal calibrations and
temperature compensation values if good precision is to be maintained.
This work can be carried out by any Robbe Service Centre.
