f) General information on controlling model helicopters
Before operating your model, you should learn about its control features first in order to be able to safely control it. The
model helicopter is controlled via the two control sticks and various switches on the remote control transmitter.
The control commands are not transferred directly to the model. They are adjusted by the electronics in the transmitter
and then transmitted. The makes controlling the model helicopter easier. For example, if you increase the attack angle
(pitch) of the main rotor blades, a lot more power is required. You do not have to adjust the throttle accordingly. The
transmitter electronics does the adjustment automatically according to your programming. It transmits mixed commands
to the receiver electronics.
Pitch function
Pitch denotes the attack angle of the main rotors. The greater the angle of attack, the more lift is achieved by the main
rotor. With the pitch function, you can control the flying altitude or the speed of the helicopter.
To that effect, the control stick (fig. 1, pos. 1) can be moved forward and backward without it springing back to middle
position, as is the case with the other control functions.
• Pulling the control stick fully towards you switches off the engine and the rotors stop.
• When you push the control stick forward, the motor starts running and the attack angle of the main rotor blades is
increased. At the same time, acceleration is increased.
• When the control stick reaches middle position, the helicopter should be hovering.
Yaw function
Yaw is the rotation of the helicopter around the vertical axis. Thus, the yaw function is used to control the direction in
which the fuselage tip points. Due to an integrated gyro, the model automatically counter-balances rotations which are
not caused by a control command but e.g. the wind.
• If the stick is moved to the left (fig. 1, pos. 1), the tip of the fuselage turns to the left.
• If you move it to the right, the tip of the fuselage turns to the right as well.
Roll function
The roll function allows you to move your model helicopter sideways to the right and to the left. The control is effected
with the corresponding control stick (see fig. 1, pos. 4).
• If the stick is moved to the left, the model drifts sideways to the left.
• If you steer to the right, the model will drift sideways to the right.
Nod function
The nod function allows you to fly the model helicopter forward or backward. The control is effected with the corresponding
control stick (see fig. 1, pos. 4).
• If you move the stick forward, the model flies forward.
• If you pull the stick backwards, the model will fly backwards.
