Practical Flight Advice For The First Start; Trimming In The Hexacopter - Reely X6 Notice D'emploi

g) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start
Caution, important!
Before you let the hexacopter lift off for the first time, you need to check the position of the „BEGINNER/
EXPERT" switch (see figure 1, item 6). The switch must be in the position „BEGINNER", since the reactions
of the hexacopter to the control commands are otherwise too strong for the first flight.
• Even though the model can fly in the narrowest of spaces, for the first test flights we recommend using a free space
of about 3 x 3 m.
• The support should be flat (tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the
model tends to drift off in a particular direction.
• If you perform the first flight outdoors, you should do so on a perfectly wind-still day.
• Place yourself exactly behind your hexacopter. As long as the two booms with the red propellers point away from
you and you thus see your model from behind, it will react to the control commands: right, left, forward, backward
exactly as you see it. Whereas, if the red propellers of the model points towards you, it reacts exactly the opposite
way from your steering commands at the transmitter from your view.
Caution, important!
If the propellers hit any objects and are blocked, slide the pitch lever into the bottom-most position at once
so that the affected drive motors are no longer supplied with power.
Never try grabbing the flying hexacopter with your hand. Danger of injury!
• When the red LEDs (see figure 10, item 5) start flashing, the flight battery has reached its lower voltage limit. In this
case, end your flight without delay and charge the flight battery again to avoid harmful deep discharge of the flight
battery.
• If you are using the hexacopter outdoors, observe the flight distance. The farther the hexacopter moves away from
you, the more difficult it is to recognise the flight position.
h) Trimming the Hexacopter
First start the transmitter, then the model.
Push the pitch lever (also see figure 1, item 10) from the bottom position (motors off) carefully forward and observe the
response of your model. Shortly before the hexacopter starts hovering, you can already determine in which direction
your model wants to move.
Yaw trimming:
If the hexacopter is trying to turn to the right when viewed from above, reduce the speed until the hexacopter is
standing safely on the landing struts again. Now push the trim button for the yaw function (also see figure 1, item 9)
to the left several times.
Push the pitch lever carefully forward and check if the adjustment was sufficient. Keep repeating this procedure until
the hexacopter no longer has any tendency to turn to the right.
If the hexacopter turns to the left when viewed from above, press the trim button for the yaw function to the right.
