Fun Chinook
Order No 4289
Controlling climb, descent and hovering
The Fun Chinook is tremendous fun to fly, especially once you have learned to hold it in a
smooth, stable hover. After a little practice, you will find that you can use the multi-channel
control system to steer the model around in a similar fashion to a conventional model helicopter:
Once you have placed the machine at the desired height, you have to hold the left-hand (climb /
descent) stick as still as possible in the position at which the model neither climbs nor descends.
Any tendency for the helicopter to turn should be corrected with the right-hand stick. In this way
you should be able to maintain a stable, steady hover.
Once you have mastered the skill of keeping the Fun-Heli hovering at a particular height, without
it turning in either direction, you can start using the transmitter's direction control to rotate the
fuselage deliberately onto a different heading; this then dictates the possible direction of flight.
You can then use the forward / reverse control to accelerate or brake on this heading, and even
fly backwards slowly. When you are confident with combining all the control functions, you will be
able to control the model in a similar manner to a "real" helicopter.
Landing, terminating the flight
The Fun Chinook is landed simply by carefully moving the left-hand transmitter stick back
towards you. Once the model has landed, first move the main switch on the model to the "OFF"
position, and then switch the transmitter off.
Note: towards the end of the flight the Fun Chinook tends to become less stable as battery
voltage declines. When you notice this, land at once and recharge the flight battery.
Fault-finding
• If you cannot eliminate the model's tendency to turn to one side, switch the model off briefly,
then on again. This forces the airborne electronics to carry out a new self-calibration process.
• The flight battery may not reach full capacity after its first charge, and this will result in
reduced flight times. The battery only reaches full capacity after several charge / discharge
cycles.
After a flying session
• After each flying session the model should be replaced in its original packaging to avoid
bending or distorting the rotors.
• If you do not intend to fly the model for a long period, please ensure that the model is
switched off, and that the dry cells are removed from the transmitter.
