HELPFUL HINTS FROM THE PROS
●
The servo reversing switches on the back of the transmitter are preset from the factory. For reference, Ch 1 is tail rotor control,
Ch 2 is right/left cyclic control, Ch 3 is forward/back cyclic control and Ch 4 is throttle control. The remaining switches are not
used. If the flight battery is plugged in, unplug the motor connector before adjusting the throttle reversing switch. This
will prevent the motor from going to full throttle when the reversing switch is moved.
●
You can use your transmitter with a computer-based flight simulator that uses a transmitter adapter with the same DIN-style plug.
●
A charge outlet is provided should you wish to use rechargeable NiCD batteries in the transmitter instead of Alkaline cells.
NiCD batteries and compatible chargers are available separately.
●
The two toggle switches and the push-button switch are not used in this application.
●
The tail rotor, main rotor blades and paddles are designed to move during a mishap. This greatly reduces the chance of
breaking these and other parts of the helicopter. Because of this, though, it's important that you double-check that the rotor blade
hub screws and paddle clamp screws are tight and that the rubber tail rotor retainer is in place before each flight.
●
For smooth operation it's important that both rotor blades are straight. If they aren't, the helicopter will wobble severely when
you apply throttle.
●
The paddles should be adjusted so that they are flat when viewed from the end of the paddles.
●
During initial power-up and transition to hover, you will need to hold right cyclic to compensate for the torque of the rotor blades.
●
Do not cut the receiver antenna shorter. It should be left wrapped around the landing skid.
