General Information - ROBBE 8068 Notice D'utilisation

1. Incline slightly the helicopter on the ground
(-2°) on the side it is inclined when hovering,
try to reach the same angle as in flight.
2. You can let the helicopter horizontally on
the ground, but trim the roll to the opposite
side as hovering. After you calibrate, set the
trimmer in neutral position.
3. A rightly set helicopter must hover with and
without stabilisation without retrimming.
6.3. Horizon calibration in the air, during the
flight
1. Control the helicopter in stabile hover posi-
tion, not away from you and in height 2-4m,
so you can see the aircraft is not drifting
and also see the ground as reference.
2. Move the sense channel to -100% shortly.
3. In the moment you have reached Sense -
100%, the horizon position is saved.
4. Put the sense to the position you want to fly
with. You can repeat the points 2. to 4. as
long as you want.
6.4. Flying without calibration
1. Switch the transmitter on.
2. Switch the receiver on.
3. The red LED must blink single pulsed with
pauses.
4. Wait for 5 sec. (systemcheck) and than give
a roll or nick command. The last saved cali-
bration values get adopted.
5. The red LED starts lighting continuously.
6. The system is ready, after the Pre-Flight-
Check you can fly.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. On Futaba and Graupner PCM-receivers,
the sense must be on channel 7 or 8.
2. In critical situations you can just let roll and
nick on neutral, just control pitch, the rest
makes the Stabilizer, the sense should be
on 40% or more.
3. Some advanced pilots can use the Stabili-
zer just as an emergency exit in case of
gyro failure, motor failure, lost sight to the
model and so on.
4. The sense can be set also on a three posi-
tion switch (instead of trimmer). For exam-
ple:
1.position: calibration in the air, -100%
Operating Instructions
Stabilizer
sense
2. position: 0% sense, the pilot commands
are just conducted to the servos
3.position: stabilisation needed for flying,
from 0% to +100%
5. Some pilots use also two-position switch
for the sense:
1.position: calibration in the air, -100%
sense.
2.position: 0% sense, the pilot commands
are just conducted to the servo. The pilot
takes off with 0% sense. When the helicop-
ter is hovering horizontally, the pilot swit-
ches shortly to sense -100% and back to
0% and than lands. Than the pilot programs
again the two-position-switch in the trans-
mitter:
1.position: 0% sense
2.position: the % sense you want to fly
with.
6. It is recommended to make the first few
flights with sense ca. 50% to get familiar
with the Stabilizer.
8.FAILSAFE (PCM systems only)
1. Trim the helicopter in stable hover position.
2. Calibrate the horizon.
3. The helicopter should hoover without your
aid.
4. Trim the motor so, that the helicopter is
slowly sinking and landing.
5. Chose from the transmitter the function
Failsafe and save all the datas for Nick, Roll,
Tail, Pitch, Motor, Gyro and Stabilizer
Sense.
6. On the most transmitters you just have to
push SET.
7. In case of Failsafe, your helicopter will sink
slightly and land.
9. WARNING
A model helicopter is not a toy, it can cause
serious injuries and property damages. Mista-
kes in building and piloting of the helicopter can
lead to extremely dangerous situations.
We can not control our customers for the pro-
per use of the Stabilizer and do not carry any
responsibility for any damages of property and
material, and also for any injuries of persons.
