12. Practical flight tips for starting the model
We recommend that you choose a sufficiently large and free area of a pprox. 4 x 4 m for the first test flights, even if the
model can later be operated in a very confined space.
Position yourself directly behind the helicopter. This ensures that the model reacts to remote control commands (right,
left, forwards and backwards) exactly as you see them. If the cockpit is facing you, the helicopter will respond in the
opposite way.
Let the helicopter ascend to eye level after taking off. You can thus optimally recognise the flight attitude of the helicop-
ter, which is much more stable than near the ground. Because when the helicopter flies so low that the air blown down
by the rotors reaches down to the ground (ground effect), the flight attitude is much more unstable.
Caution, important!
If the rotors hit any objects and become blocked or if the model overturns, turn off the rotor drive motors
immediately.
To do this, move the joystick for the pitch and tail function (see also Figure 1, no. 9) to the lowest position
and hold it in this position. Optionally, you can press and hold down the push button for the motor emer-
gency stop function (see Figure 1, item 10) for three seconds.
Never use the emergency stop function when the model is in the air, because otherwise it falls down on the
ground draftless and could be damaged.
Never try to grab the flying helicopter with your hand. There is an increased risk of injury!
To avoid detrimental deep discharge of the helicopter battery, you must land the model immediately when the red LED
on the rear landing bow (see Figure 7, no. 5) starts to flash. If you do not land the model, it will shortly reduce power
and land automatically. During this time, the helicopter LED flashes quickly.
Allow the helicopter battery and model helicopter sufficient time to cool down before charging or replacing the battery.
