13. Practical flight tips for the first start

• Even if the model can fly in the narrowest 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, PVC or similar) to allow you to determine already before the take
off if the model tends to drift off in a particular direction.
• Place yourself exactly behind your helicopter. As long as you can see your model from behind, the latter will react to
the control commands: right, left, forward, backward exactly as you see it. Whereas, if the cockpit of the model
points towards you, it reacts exactly the opposite way from your steering commands at the transmitter.
a) Trimming the helicopter
Push the Pitch stick (see figure 1, Pos. 8) carefully forward
and observe the response of your model.
Shortly before the helicopter starts hovering, you can
already determine in which direction your model wants to
move.
If the helicopter wants to turn to the right with the tip of the
fuselage, then reduce the speed and push the steering
trim for the Tail function (see figure 1, Pos. 7) gradually to
the left.
Push the Pitch stick carefully forward and check if the
adjustment was sufficient.
Keep repeating this procedure until the helicopter no longer
has any tendency to turn to the right.
If the tip of the fuselage turns to the left, carry out a right
trim adjustment.
