o Ifthenoseofthehelicopterisdriftingtotheleftorrightadjusttheruddertrim.
Youcanalsoadjusttheproportionalmixtrimmerpotonthe3‐in‐1controlunit
(pleaseseethe‘ProportionalMixTrimmerPot’sectionofthismanualformore
information).

o If
thehelicopterisdriftingforwardorbackwardadjusttheelevatortrim.

o Iftheentirehelicopterisdriftingtotheleftorrightadjusttheailerontrim.

It’simportanttocontinuemakingtrimadjustmentsasneededuntilthehelicoptercan
hoveratanaltitudeofapproximately24–30inches(orhigher)
withverylittledrifting
ordirectionalcontrolinput.Andwhileit’snotpossibletoeliminatealldrifting
completelyusingthetrimsitispossibletogetveryclose.Also,ifthisisyourfirst
helicoptermodelwestronglyrecommendtoenlistthehelpofanexperiencedpilotto
trimthe
modelforyoubeforemakingyourfirstflight.

 Whenthehelicopterisproperlytrimmed,maintainastablehoverandpracticeusing
therudder,elevatorandaileroncontrolstogetafeelforhowthehelicopterresponds
tovariouscontrolinputs.Remembertokeepthecontrolinputsasminimalas
possible
topreventover‐controllingthehelicopter.

 Continuetopracticeuntilyou’recomfortablehoveringthehelicopteratapproximately
24–30inchesofaltitude.Thenyoucantransitiontohoveringthehelicopterathigher
altitudesofapproximately3–4feet(0.9–1.2meters).

 Ifatanytimeduringflightyoufeellike
thehelicopterisdriftingoutof/beyondyour
control,simplyreleaseallofthecontrolsexceptforthrottle.Thethrottlewillbe
neededtomaintainaltitude,butduetotheinherentstabilityofthecoaxial,counter‐
rotatingbladedesign,releasingalloftheothercontrolswillallowthehelicopterto
return
toastablehoveronitsown.

 INTHEUNFORTUNATEEVENTOFACRASHORROTORBLADESTRIKE,NOMATTER
HOWMAJORORMINOR,YOUMUSTLOWERTHETHROTTLESTICKANDTHE
THROTTLETRIMLEVERTOTHEIRLOWESTPOSSIBLEPOSITIONSASQUICKLYAS
POSSIBLETOPREVENTDAMAGETOTHE
ESCSOFTHECONTROLUNIT.

Ifyoudonotlowerthethrottlestickandtrimtotheirlowestpossiblepositionsin
theeventofacrash/rotorbladestrikeitcanresultindamagetotheESCsofthe
controlunitwhichmayrequirereplacementofthecontrolunit.
