Practical Flight Tips For The First Start; Trimming The Helicopter - Reely SKY Typhoon Notice D'emploi

j) Practical flight tips for the first start
• For your first flight attempts, we recommend picking a free space of at least about 5 x 5 m.
• The ground should be flat (concrete, tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine already before the
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. Whereas, if the cockpit of the model points
towards you, it reacts exactly the opposite way from your steering commands made at the transmitter.
• Be aware of the wind direction if you are outdoors. For the first few attempts you should face the helicopter into the
wind. We also recommend that you make your first few flights in windless conditions.
k) Trimming the helicopter
First take up operation of the transmitter and afterwards connect the charged flight battery to the controller.
Push the gas / pitch lever from the bottom position (motor off) carefully forward and observe the way your model
responds. Shortly before the helicopter starts hovering, you can already determine in which direction your model
wants to move.
