Flight Control - Revell Control ORBIX Mode D'emploi

7 Flight control

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for
a smooth flying behavior of the model! The direction indication
applies when the model is viewed from behind. If the model is
flying forwards towards the pilot, it must be moved in the
opposite direction.
7A T ake off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control
for thrust and rotation (2A) forward.
7B Land or decrease altitude by moving the control for thrust and
rotation (2A) backward.
7C Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward
and sideways flight (2B) carefully forward.
7D F ly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward
and sideways flight (2B) carefully backward.
7E Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward
and sideways flight (2B) carefully to the left.
7F Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward
and sideways flight (2B) carefully to the right.
7G Turn the model around to the left by moving the control for
thrust and rotation (2A) to the left.
7H Turn model around to the right by moving the control for
thrust and rotation (2A) to the right.
2L Flip button: Each time the Flip button is pressed, the model
carries out a flip manoeuvre to the left or right, depending on
which of the two buttons was pressed.
2E Press and hold both buttons simultaneously for head-
less mode: Headless mode supports beginners in the initial
stages. Regardless of where the quadrocopter turns, the direction
of flight always corresponds exactly to the direction specified
with the control for forwards/backwards and sideways movement
(2B). For example: If the model were to be turned 180° and
flown towards the operator, the operator would have to „convert"
the forwards/backwards and sideways movement accordingly.
With headless mode activated, this is no longer necessary, be-
cause the internal processor always automatically recomputes the
control directions. Pressing the buttons (2E) again deactivates the
mode. This function can only be activated while the model is on
the ground at a standstill.

Attention: The model „notes" the forwards direction during
each switch-on. This means that the operator must not turn
when controlling the model, as this would change the concept of
„forwards" and „right/left" in relation to the model. If the operator
changes position and wants to use headless mode - or if the control
direction is no longer correct due to a collision, the model must be
restarted.
Battery status: The battery is empty if the model begins to lose
thrust. Land in order to avoid crashing.
instructions For saFE Flying
General flying tips:
• A lways place the model on a level surface. An inclined surface
can, under certain circumstances, have a negative impact on the
starting behavior of the model.
• A lways operate the controls slowly and with a gentle touch.
• A lways maintain visual contact with the model and do not look
at the remote control!
• M ove the thrust control down again somewhat as soon as the
model lifts off from the ground. Maintain flying altitude by
adjusting the thrust controller.
• I f the model lowers, move the thrust control slightly upward again.
• I f the model climbs, move the thrust control down slightly.
• T o 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 model's controls too aggressively.Always operate
the controls slowly and carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• B eginners should first master trimming before attempting to
master the thrust controller. The model does not necessarily
have to fly straight at the beginning - initially, it is more
important to maintain a constant height of approximately one
meter above the ground by repeatedly tapping the thrust control.
Only then should the pilot practice steering the model left and right.
