Switching on the model
Ensure sufficient space in order to undertake the first flight
experiments. Even if the helicopter can later be flown in the
smallest quarters, it requires about 3m free space in all direc-
tions.
• Set the model on a smooth and level surface, so that the
helicopter can freely glide and lift off.
• Set the helicopter about 2m in front of yourself on the
ground, the tail pointing towards you. This way the direction
of reaction of the helicopter conforms to the direction of
control.
• Unwind the receiver antenna completely and fasten
the aerial wire with an adhesive strip to the fuselage for
traction relief.
Pull the transmitter antenna totally out.
The effective range of the remote control is reduced if the
antenna is not completely pulled out.
• Pull the left remote control lever (pitch) totally back.
• Take care that the pitch function of the trim lever is
approximately in the middle position.
• Switch the transmitter on.
The LED (1) on the receiver begins to blink. This indicates that
the electric circuit of the electronic gyro is calibrating itself.
The model may now not be moved!
When the process is concluded and the receiver is receiving
correct signals the LED lights up continuously.
If the LED blinks slowly, then the battery voltage is too low.
Recharge the battery or replace it with an original replacement
battery!
Check the effective range of the remote
control transmitter
Before every first start or after a crash, check the function and
effective range of the RC equipment!
In the neutral position of the control lever of nick and roll, the
wobble plate should also be in neutral position.
If this is not the case, correct the position with the trim levers of
the respective control channel on the transmitter.
• Move slowly away from the model (motor is not running!).
• Consecutively press the remote control levers nick and roll
and
• Observe the reactions of the model.

• Now connect the
charged airplane
battery to the
receiver.
Bring all control levers into the neutral
position.
• Move the left control lever slightly forward, until the model
just lifts off from the ground.
• Pull the control lever slowly back again, so that the model
gently alights.
Move the control extremely delicately!
The RC equipment works faultlessly if from about 30 m
distance the model still correctly responds to the remote
control signals. The maximum range of the transmitter is about
100 m.
Never drive the model if the remote control does not work
properly! A malfunction of the radio may cause damage to the
model, property and/or serious injury.
