Practice, part 1
The best fl ying fi eld is a wind protected area without any obstacles. A larger,
empty room (double garage) is also suitable for the fi rst attempts.
Switch on the transmitter. The throttle stick has to be idle position.
Connect the fl ying battery to the receiver. Check that the swash plate is in hori-
zontal position.
The gyro will calibrate itself. As soon as the LED fl ashes fast, the helicopter is
ready for operation.
Take off
Keep suffi cient distance to the helicopter to be able to monitor its movements.
Slowly push the throttle stick forward to accelerate the main rotors. The further
forward you push the lighter the helicopter will become on the skids. It will slide
slightly to the left. Should it slide into a different direction, use the trim levers of
the corresponding control stick to compensate, until you corrected this move-
ment.
Slowly familiarize yourself with the controls of the helicopter.
