• 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.
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!
Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory liability insu-
rance since 2005. 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 helicopter's rotor blades are damaged, they must be replaced.
Proceed as follows:
Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the rotor blades. The rotor
blades are marked with "A" and "B" (8A). Type "A" rotor blades are mounted on top
and Type "B" rotor blades are mounted on the bottom.
8B Use a Phillips screwdriver to carefully remove the screws on the rotor blade.
8C Now carefully remove the rotor blade from the mount.
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.

• 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.
