3. Product Description
The electric double-rotor helicopter "I-Helicopter" is set up ready for flight and has two counter-running main rotors.
Thus, there is no torque around the yaw axis and the model does not need a tail rotor for lateral stability.
The upper main rotor has rotor blades with a fixed angle of attack and a tilt joint that is stabilised with a centrifugal rod
running along. The lower rotor also has a fixed angle of attack and is not controlled or stabilised.
Lifting and lowering the model is effected via a common modification of the number of revolutions of both main rotor
blades. Steering around the yaw axis (rotation around the rotor shaft) is effected by means of different revolutions of
the two main rotors.
Additionally, the helicopter has a horizontally attached tail propeller to tilt the model forwards or backwards in hover
flight to make it possible to fly forwards or backwards.
The model helicopter is controlled with an Apple® iPad, Apple® iPhone or Apple® iPod touch with the included IR
adapter connected to its headphones jack.
The controllable functions are influence to the flight height, turning around the vertical axis (rotor shaft), forwards and
backwards flying.
The rechargeable battery in the IR adapter and the flight battery in the model helicopter are charged with the included
USB charging cable.
