Practice - Walkera Ikarus HM 5 4B HM Manuel D'utilisation

Practice

The best flying field is a wind protected area without any obstacles. A larger, empty room (double
garage) is also suitable for the first attempts.
The throttle stick has to be idle position. Switch on the transmitter.
Connect the flying battery to the receiver. Check that the swash plate is in horizontal position.
The gyro will calibrate itself. As soon as the LED flashes fast, the helicopter is ready for operation.
Keep sufficient distance to the helicopter to be able to monitor its movements. Slowly push the thrott-
le 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 movement.
Slowly familiarize yourself with the controls of the helicopter.
Try to move the helicopter purposefully to predetermined stop points on the ground in front of you.
Use duct tape as markers on the ground. Fly not more than about 2-3 inch off the ground during
these maneuvers.
If you really master this exercise, you may fly higher now.
Now you will have to learn to hover, i.e. fly stationary above a predetermined point in front of you. If
you really master this maneuver for at least 20 seconds,
You should try to slowly move the helicopter into a predetermined direction and 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. Understand that your directional control is reversed
when the helicopter is flying towards 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 HM 5#4B helicopter.
