As a good practice, only open up the bag that you need for the particular assembly. Check the parts in that bag against the parts list shown for each assembly as well as each sub-assembly to make sure there are no missing parts.

(2) The rotor shaft and flybar must be straight and not damaged. (3) The swashplate must remain clean and tilts freely. (4) When control input are given to tilt the swashplate, make sure none of the control arms and pushrods show any binding.

Flying Adjustments (1) Tracking adjustment ... When the two main rotor blades are in track it means their blade tips should follow the same path as they rotate. (1) Rev up the motor until the helicopter becomes light on its skids. increase (2) When the two main rotor blades are in throttle gently...

Flying Adjustments (2) Trimming: All helicopters are inherently unstable. But when a helicopter is properly trimmed, it will not drift away or yaw by itself quickly. Use the following procedure to trim your helicopter. (1) If the helicopter nose starts to yaw left or right, then use the transmitter trim to compensate: yaw right yaw left...

Hover Training (1) Hovering is when the helicopter is floating in a stationary position in the air. Hovering is the fundamental manuever to learn first. Here is the procedure to practice hovering: (1) Make sure there is no spectator anywhere near the model helicopter.
Page 49
(4) It will take a few hours of hover practice with the helicopter skids at 10 to 20 cm (4-8 inches) off the ground in order to comfortably control the model. Do not try to lift the model to more than 10 to 20 cm(4-8 inches) in the beginning because then the model may tip over readily when the beginner panics and an incorrect command is given.

Forward Flight Training After mastering hovering flight: (1) Start practicing moving the helicopter laterally to the left or right slowly from a 1.5 meter (60 inches) high hover. This is the beginning exercise of translational flight. hovering at 1-1.5 meter (2) After a few hours of practicing step (1) and you are comfortable with translational movement, start using some tail rotor control so the helicopter nose will point slightly to the left or right as you fly it to the left or right.

After Flight Checklist The model helicopter should be thoroughly inspected after each flying session. (1) Check every screw and bolt to make sure none has loosened due to vibration. (2) Check every rotating and movable part to ensure they still move smoothly and normally. (3) Clean off the exhaust residue from the muffler, engine, and helicopter.
