Survey - the essentials
14
The unit is as simple as we could make it in terms of setting-up and ying.
However, if you are a beginner to helicopters it is really essential to ask a friend
with experience of ying these machines to help you at the initial test-ying
stage, as the functions of a helicopter are very complex.
This double page and all the points marked with an exclamation mark
are particularly important, and should be read carefully even by pro-standard
pilots.
Installation
• Mount only by using the supplied self-adhesive soft foam stripes, strictly
according to the instructions (pages 16-18).
• An electrical connection must be created as an earth between the tail boom,
the motor crankcase and the helicopter chassis.
• The higher in the model the unit is installed, the smoother the stabilisation in
position mode when close to the ground.
• Please ensure that the unit is set vertically, securely xed in the model, and
with an absolutely unobstructed view between the sensor and the ground.
• Important notes for internal-combustion helicopters and comprehensive
installation tips: see page 19.
Transmitter
All the mixer functions for elevator, aileron and tail rotor must be disabled: al-
ways set single-servo mode (H1 or CCPM), as the HeliCommand is designed
to use its own internal mixer exclusively.
Conguration
The unit must be congured in order to match it to the model and the
RC system; this only needs to be carried out once (page 23).
If the standard default settings suit your model and RC system (page 22) this
setup can be omitted.
Before the rst ight with the system it is essential to check the controls and
sensor directions on all three axes! (page 28)
