Practical Flight Advice For The First Start; Trimming Of The Helicopter - Reely SKY Jet Ranger Notice D'emploi

e) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start
• Even though the model can fly in the narrowest of spaces, for the first test flights we recommend using a free space
of at least 5 x 5 m.
• The support should be flat (tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the
model tends to drift off in a particular direction.
• Place yourself exactly behind your helicopter. As long as you can see your model from behind, the latter will react to
the control commands: right, left, forward, backward exactly as you see it. If the nose of the model points towards
you, it reacts exactly the opposite way from your steering commands at the transmitter.
Important information!
If the rotors hit any objects and are blocked or if the model falls over when standing, slide the control stick
with grating (pitch function) into the bottom-most position at once so that the two drive motors are no
longer supplied with power.
f) Trimming of the Helicopter
Push the pitch stick (see figure 1, item 12) from the bottom position (engine off) carefully forward and observe the
response of your model. Shortly before the helicopter starts hovering, you can already determine in which direction
your model wants to move.
Tail trim:
If the helicopter wants to turn to the right with the tip of the fuselage, then reduce the speed and push the trim slider for
the tail function (see figure 1, item 11) gradually to the left.
Push the pitch stick carefully forward and check if the adjustment was sufficient.
Keep repeating this procedure until the helicopter no longer has any tendency to turn to the right.
If the nose of the fuselage turns to the left, carry out a right trim adjustment.
