Control Tests

Rudder and Cyclic Gyro Test
Rudder
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Turn TH HOLD ON and put transmitter in normal mode.
3. Connect the helicopter battery to the ESC
NOTICE: Do not allow the helicopter to move until the Status LED is solid
blue and all menu LEDs are OFF. The gyro will not operate correctly if the
helicopter moves before the Status LED is solid blue.
4. Move the rudder stick to the right. The tail rotor blades move as shown. If
they do not move as shown, reverse the rudder channel in the transmitter
(refer to your transmitter manual for instructions).
Cyclic
When using a flybarless rotor head, you are controlling rotational rates ail
while the AR7200BX controls the servos. You are not directly controlling the
servos with the transmitter.
It is normal for the swashplate to slowly move back to its original
position after a stick input and for the servos to not move at the same
speed as your control sticks.
CAUTION: You must complete the Rudder and Cyclic tests prior to flight. Failure to complete the tests ensuring the sensor directions are not reversed can
cause the helicopter to crash, resulting in property damage and injury.
