Trouble Shooting - iKarus Lama Manuel D'utilisation

than stop by going into a hover position above that point.
Now descend out of the hover position and land the helicopter. After mastering
this maneuver you may proceed by attempting your first circular flight. Under-
stand that your directional control is reversed when the helicopter is flying to-
wards you.
If you have successfully accomplished this maneuver, you earned your first
wings. You are now an R/C Helicopter pilot. Congratulations!
We are wishing you endless hours of fun with the Lama helicopter.

Trouble shooting

The helicopter does not start
- For safety reasons you have to set the transmitter throttle stick and its trim
lever into idle position (pull the stick and lever towards you) prior to switching
on the transmitter. If this is not done, the helicopter will not start up. Now you
need to wait a few moments until the green LED on the electronic unit does
not flash anymore but lights up steady. In the meantime do not give any cont-
rol inputs on the transmitter.
- Your flight battery is discharged and requires to charging.
Motors are running, but the rotor is not spinning
- Check that the gears are meshing. If not, loosen the screws of the motor and
push the motor towards the larger gear. Run a strip of paper between motor
pinion and gear to adjust for correct gear mesh. A too tight gear mesh will
overload the motor and speed controller; a too loose gear mesh will destroy
the main gear.
