The First Flight - Spektrum BEAST X AR7210BX Mode D'emploi

EN
Some transmitters offer a special setting allowing an automatic switch between the auxiliary
governor channel and the flight mode switch. The motor can start in the first flight mode;
you can spool up the rotor by applying manual throttle and hover the helicopter. With the
second flight mode, the throttle curve is switched to a "V"-shaped curve and the RPM
Governor is turned by the auxiliary channel. In this case, ensure that the two throttle curves
overlap in the point at which the transfer between the two flight modes takes place. Otherwise
the throttle servo will make a jump before the RPM Governor takes control as you still may be
in manual mode for a short time. So in this operation, it is not possible to activate the RPM
governor from the get go and let the rotor spool up autonomously. If you want this, you must
activate the RPM Governor before switching to your second flight mode!

The First Flight

After powering on the receiver, wait for the Spektrum AR7210BX to initialize completely (Short
movement of swashplate servos and Status LED is
IT IS NECESSARY for the helicopter to be horizontal. Do not move the helicopter during the
initialization.
CAUTION: Always complete a control direction test with the transmitter and make
sure the sensors are correcting in the proper directions when you tilt, roll and yaw
the helicopter by hand.
It is normal for the swashplate to slowly move back to its original position after a
stick input and for the servos to not move at the same speed as your control sticks.
When using a flybarless rotor head, you are controlling rotational rates while the Spektrum
AR7210BX controls the servos. You are not directly controlling the servos with the transmitter.
When you have performed the basic heli setup in the Setup Menu your heli is almost ready to fly.
The AR7210BX includes a tail gyro system. This system is controlled using the GEAR channel. Make
sure the gyro gain is setup correctly before first fight (see Dials and Tail gyro gain). Verify the dials
on top of the device are in center position for the first flight. You may adjust them later if necessary.
Heading Lock Mode: It is normal for the tail servo to:
1. Stay in its end position after a tail stick input or tail movement.
2. Not react immediately to a stick input.
3. Move to the endpoints with small stick inputs.
CAUTION: Remove main and tail rotor blades before the first flight. Allow the
motor/engine to run at all speeds. Watch for the swashplate to automatically tilt in
one direction or begin to twitch at a specific speed. These are signs that the helicopter has
mechanical vibration that will disturb the Spektrum AR7210BX sensors.
Correct any sources of mechanical vibration before the first flight.
Just before lift off, make sure the swashplate is horizontal and the tail pitch slider is near centered.
Avoid excessive steering during lift off, otherwise the helicopter may tip over and crash!
Give direct collective pitch input to quickly lift the helicopter into the air. This will require some
practice if you do not have experience with flybarless helicopters.
