Flight Control - Revell Control HEXATRON Mode D'emploi

7 FlIghT CoNTrol

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying
behaviour of the multicopter! The direction information applies if the multicopter is
viewed from behind. If the multicopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved in
the opposite direction.
7A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust and rotation
forward.
7B Move the thrust/rotation control back for landing or to fly lower.
7C Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and banking
carefully forward.
7D Fly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward flight as well as
banking carefully backward.
7E Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and banking
carefully to the left.
7F Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and banking
carefully to the right.
7G Turn helicopter around to the left by moving the controller for thrust and rotation to
the left.
7H Turn helicopter around to the right by moving the controller for thrust and rotation
to the right.
Higher flight speed
For greater speed, press one of the buttons for 70%, 90% or 100% speed (7I). Now
the multicopter has a greater tilt, which enables higher flight speed. Please do not
use this function until you have gained sufficient experience in the standard setting,
because the multicopter is very sensitive, which makes a fine touch necessary when
controlling it.
Fly loops - advanced users only! When you have sufficiently mastered your
multicopter, you can try your hand at the stunt flying function. Press the right upper
shoulder button on the remote control (7J) once briefly. If the multicopter is in looping
mode, the remote control beeps continuously. Make sure that you have sufficient room
in each direction (at least 10 metres). Also observe the safety height - fly at a height
of at least 5m, as your multicopter loses height when rolling over and has to be caught
and corrected afterwards!
Note: Looping is more successful when the battery capacity is near full.
Now climb to safety height. Press the control for forward and backwards flight
and banking all the way forward and all the way back very quickly.
The multicopter performs a forward looping manoeuvre - looping in other directions
are performed corresponding to the movement of the controller. Be prepared to catch
the multicopter, as the flying height, direction and speed after rolling over depend
heavily on the wind and preceding flight movements.

GENERAL FLyING TIPS:
• Always place the multicopter on a level
surface. An inclined surface can, under
certain circumstances, have a negative
impact on the starting behaviour of the
multicopter.
• Always operate the controls slowly and
with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
multicopter and do not look at the remote
control!
• Move the thrust control down again
somewhat as soon as the multicopter
lifts off from the ground. Maintain flying
altitude by adjusting the thrust controller.
• If the multicopter lowers, move the thrust
control slightly upward again.
• If the multicopter climbs, move the thrust
controller down slightly.
BATTERy STATuS:
• If the multicopter begins to lose thrust or the LED on the underside begins to blink,
the battery is depleted. Land in order to avoid crashing.
ATTENTION!
Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory liability
insurance since 2005. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your
new and earlier models are included in your insurance coverage. Request written
confirmation and keep this in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial
membership free of charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.
• To fly along a curve, tapping the
directional controller very slightly in the
respective direction often suffices. There
is a general tendency during preliminary
attempts at flight to operate the
multicopter's controls too aggressively.
Always operate the controls slowly and
carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming
before attempting to master the thrust
controller. The multicopter does not
necessarily have to fly straight at the
beginning - initially, it is more important
to maintain a constant height of approxi-
mately one metre above the ground by
repeatedly tapping the thrust control.
Only then should the pilot practice
steering the multicopter left and right.
