Congratulations on your decision to purchase a HeliCommand.
No other commercially produced system for model helicopters can stabilise
the horizontal ight position in addition to the horizontal attitude.
The HeliCommand was originally developed from a professional auto-pilot
system for commercial helicopters employed in lming and surveying, and is
based on several innovative technologies (international patents pending).
The range of applications covers beginners and advanced pilots.
However, beginners should be familiar with their model’s functions, even if they
are not yet able to maintain a stable ight attitude when ying. To all newcomers
to the helicopter hobby we recommend to learn more about the basics of heli-
copter technics to achieve a maximum in performance with the HeliCommand.
If you are a beginner, the HeliCommand will enable you to hover the heli-
copter, carry out slow circuits and generally practise more easily. However,
one point which should be addressed here is that the pilot must be attentive,
and should not let this unique system seduce him into trying manoeuvres
which could endanger himself or others.
Also, it is ideal for advanced pilots who are expanding their ying skills and wish
to practise ying with reduced sta-bilisation, as well as pro-standard pilots who
wish to concentrate entirely on the important functions of their ight display.
To anyone who categorically shuns all electronic aids for helicopter ying,
we have this to say: please be reassured: the HeliCommand was not deve-
loped with the aim of replacing ight tutors and training procedures; its sole
purpose is to help modellers learn to y safely, and to promote safer ying.
