BEGINNERS - How
(virtually) ALL R/C helicopters should be armed
1
- Turn on the TX
2
- Ensure that the Throttle Hold switch (set to hold the throttle at
ZERO) is switched ON
3
- Ensure that the throttle stick and its trimmer are fully down at ZERO
throttle
4
- Ensure that all other trims are centered
5
- Ensure that the IDLE UP switch is turned OFF
6
- Ensure that if you have a computer radio, you have the CORRECT MODEL
selected
7
- Ensure the TX has plenty of battery power remaining to cover your
flight
8
- Ensure if you have a 35MHZ radio that the antennae is FULLY EXTENDED
9
- Connect the LIPO cell in the helicopter
10
- Keep the helicopter totally still until the initialization has
been done completely, including the gyro, which can take some little
while, especially on cold days
11
- Once everything has initialized, carefully check the cyclic stick
movement to ensure the swash plate and pitch is all working in the
correct direction
12
- Check that the rudder is moving in the correct direction
13
- Check the flying area for any other people, especially if you fly on a
public area such as a park. If there are any people close to you,
or any that you may fly over - DO NOT FLY until they have gone.
14
- Carry the helicopter out to the flying point, place it on the ground
and walk away several paces.
15
- Turn the Throttle Hold switch OFF, and check that a small amount of
throttle starts to spool up the main rotors
16
- GO FLY AND ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT - in safety....
