Trimming the helicopter
Already shortly before the helicopter takes off, you can recognize
whether it wants to turn or glide in a particular direction.
Correct the deviations from the vertical ascent with the trim slider of
the tail function.
Tip of the fuselage turns to the right:
• Reduce speed (Pitch) and push the trim slider of the tail function
stepwise to the left.
• Push the pitch-lever forward again and check whether the
correction was sufficient, if necessary shift the trim further to the
left.
• Repeat the process until the helicopter no longer shows a
tendency to turn to the right.
Model slips (drifts) or tilts to the right:
• Reduce the speed and push the trim slider of the roll-function of
the right remote control lever stepwise to the left.
• Push the pitch-lever forward again and check whether the
correction was sufficient, if necessary shift the trim further to the
left.
• Repeat the process until the helicopter no longer shows a ten-
dency to drift to the right.
Model slips (drifts) forward:
• Reduce the speed and push the trim slider of the nick function on
the right remote control lever stepwise backwards.
• Push the pitch lever forward again and check whether this was
sufficient for correction, if necessary shift the trim further to the
left.
• Repeat the process until the helicopter no longer shows a
tendency to drift forwards.
Mechanical correction of the servos
If the roll and nick-functions do not permit optimization by trimming,
correct the control of the wobble plate by the servos.
(1) Control of the nick function
(2) Control of the roll function
Tip of the fuselage turns to the left:
• Proceed as described above, but push the trim slider of the tail
function stepwise to the right.
Model slips (drifts) or tilts
to the right:
• Proceed as described above, but
push the trim slider of the tail
function stepwise to the right.
Model slips (drifts)
backwards:
• Proceed as described above, but push
the trim slider of the nick function
stepwise forward.
