Tips For Operation; Replacing The Rotor Blades - Revell Control Petrel Manuel D'utilisation

Your helicopter has already been connected to the remote control in the factory. Should you have to reconnect the remote please proceed as follows:
1. Switch off helicopter and remote control.
2. Push and hold the right-hand trim button.
3. Switch the remote control on whilst the right trim button is pushed down.
4. The red LED on the remote control is flashing.

• Always lay the helicopter down on a smooth surface. A slanting surface may negatively affect
the starting characteristics of the helicopter.
• Always move the regulator slowly and sensitively.
• Always observe the helicopter and not the remote control unit!
• Move the actuating regulator downwards slightly as soon as the helicopter lifts off from the
ground. In order to maintain the flying height, adapt the actuating regulator settings.
• If the helicopter goes lower, move the actuating regulator upwards slightly.
• If the helicopter rises, move the actuating regulator downwards slightly.
• In order to fly into a curve, it is often sufficient to tap the direction regulator gently into the
appropriate direction. During the first flight attempts, people tend to control the helicopter too
vehemently. The control regulator should always be moved slowly and carefully - never quickly
or suddenly.
• Beginners should, after trimming, first try to command the actuating regulator correctly. The
helicopter does not necessarily have to fly straight ahead at first - it is more important to main-
tain a consistent height of approximately one metre above the floor by repeated, brief tapping
of the actuating regulator. Only then should you practice moving the helicopter left and right.
After a crash, always move the slide control completely downwards.
If the helicopter rotor blades are damaged and you have to replace them, proceed as follows:
Ensure that you do not mix
up the rotor blades before
assembly.
Problem:
the rotor blades do not move.
Problem:
the helicopter stops for no clear
reason during flight and drops.
Problem:
the helicopter cannot be
controlled.
Problem:
the helicopter only pivots on its
own axis to the left or right.

5. Now switch on the helicopter, the LED underneath the helicopter is flashing.
6. As soon as the red LED on the remote control flashes continuously, the connection

5. SuitABLe FLigHt eNviroNMeNt:
The location in which the helicopter is flown must fulfil the following criteria:
1. It should be a closed room in which there are no strong draughts. If possible,
no air conditioning, heating fans etc. should be present which may generate air streams.
2. The room should be at least 10 m long, 6 m wide and 3 m high.
3. There should be no objects in the room (fans, lamps etc.) which might hinder flight.
4. On starting, you must ensure that all living creatures - including the pilot - are standing
at least 1-2 m away from the helicopter when the flight begins.
5. Always observe the helicopter to ensure it does not fly at the pilot, other people or animals
and injure them.
