Flying The Infusion 180 - Horizon Hobby Blade Infusion 180 Instruction Manual

Flying the Infusion 180

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to fly your aircraft.
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm winds or
inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses,
trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid
flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy
parks, schoolyards or soccer fields.
It is best to fly from a smooth flat surface as this will allow
the model to slide without tipping over. Keep the helicopter
approximately 2 ft (600mm) above the ground. Keep the tail
pointed toward you during initial flights to keep the control
orientation consistent. Releasing the stick in Stability Mode
will allow the helicopter to level itself. Activating the Panic
Recovery button will level the helicopter quickly. If you become
disoriented while in Stability Mode, slowly lower the throttle
stick to land softly.
During initial flights, only attempt takeoff, landing and hovering
in one spot.
Takeoff
NOTICE: If the main motor or tail motor do not start up
properly when throttle is first applied, immediately return
the throttle to the low position and try again. If the problem
persists, disconnect the flight battery, check for smooth
motor operation and ensure no wires have become
entangled or are rubbing on the motors.
Place the model onto a flat, level surface free of obstacles and
walk back 30 feet (10 meters). Slowly increase the throttle until
the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and
begin flying the model.

Hovering
Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the
helicopter in one spot. If flying in calm winds, the model
should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the
cyclic stick and returning it to center, the model should level
itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move
the cycle stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.
After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress
into flying the model to different locations, keeping the tail
pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and
descend using the throttle stick. Once you're comfortable
with these maneuvers, you can attempt flying with the tail in
different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the
flight control inputs will rotate with the helicopter, so always
try to picture the control inputs relative to the nose of the
helicopter. For example, forward will always drop the nose of
the helicopter.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery
voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and the
red LED on the ESC flashes, land the aircraft immediately and
recharge the flight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during
storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Landing
To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover.
After landing, disconnect and remove the battery from the
aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Review your
manufacturers provided LiPo guidelines for charging and stor-
age information.
