FLYIng TWO HeLICOPTers sIMuLTaneOusLY
Up to two pilots can fly their helicopters simultaneously! To do so, proceed as follows:
• Pilot 1 switches his/her remote control on and selects channel A.
• Pilot 1 switches on his/her helicopter. When he/she is ready, the pilot briefly actuates
the thrust control, whereby the helicopter is set to channel A.
• Pilot 1 sets his/her remote control aside without switching it or the helicopter off.
• Pilot 2 switches his/her remote control on and selects channel B.
• Pilot 2 switches on his/her helicopter. When he/she is ready, the pilot briefly actuates
the thrust control, whereby the helicopter is set to channel B. They can now be flown
at the same time!

GENERAL FLyING TIPS:
• Always practice without the Quick-Slow
button pressed (slow flight) until you
have mastered flying the helicopter;
then you can switch to fast flight!
• Always place the helicopter on a level
surface. An inclined surface can, under
certain circumstances, negatively effect
the helicopter during take-off.
• Always operate the controls slowly and
with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
helicopter and do not look at the remote
control!
• Move the thrust controller somewhat
down again once the helicopter has
lifted off from the ground. Maintain
flying altitude by adjusting the thrust
controller.
• If the helicopter descends, move the
thrust controller slightly upward again.
• If the helicopter climbs, move the thrust
controller down slightly.

• To fly along a curve, tapping the
directional controller very slightly in the
respective direction often suffices. There
is a general tendency during preliminary
attempts at flight to operate the
helicopter's controls too aggressively.
Always operate the controls slowly and
carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming
before attempting to master the thrust
controller. It is not necessary for the
helicopter to fly straight at first. It is far
more important to maintain a constant
height of approximately one metre
above the ground by repeatedly tapping
the thrust controller. Only then should
the pilot practise steering the helicopter
left and right.
SuITABLE FLyING ENVIRONMENT:
The location in which the helicopter is flown should fulfil the following criteria:
• It should be an indoor location without any wind. Insofar as possible, there should be
no air conditioning systems, heaters, etc. that can cause air currents.
• The room should be at least 10 metres long, six metres wide and three metres high.
• No disruptive objects, such as fans, lamps, etc. should be present in the room.
• When initialising take-off, make absolutely sure that all persons and animals – includ-
ing the pilot - are at least 1-2 metres removed from the aircraft before flight begins.
WARNING!
Liability insurance has been mandatory since 2005 for flying model aircraft and
helicopters outdoors. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your new
and earlier models are included in your insurance coverage. Request written confirma-
tion and keep this in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial membership
free of charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.

8 CHangIng THe rOTOr BLaDes

If the rotor blades of the helicopter are damaged and you must replace them, proceed
as follows:
8A Prior to installation, make sure that
you do not mix up the rotor blades.
The rotor blades are marked with "D"
and "B" (see Fig.). Type "D" rotor blades
are mounted on top and Type "B" rotor
blades are mounted on the bottom.
8C Now carefully remove the rotor blade
from the mount.
8B Use a Phillips screwdriver to care-
fully remove the screws on the rotor
blade.
8D Carefully fit the new rotor blade
in the mount and tighten the screw.
Attention: Do not over-tighten the
screw. The rotor blade must have a
certain amount of play.
