Trim Flight
Perform this procedure if the model is not performing well or has
been recently rebuilt from a crash.
The trim fl ight procedure was performed during the factory
test fl ight and only needs to be performed if you notice the
model is not returning to level consistently or if the model
does not remain still during stationary pirouettes. The trim
fl ight is used to determine the optimal settings for SAFE
®
technology during fl ight.
The trim fl ight must be performed in calm conditions.
Entering Trim Flight Mode
1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2. Center all trims.
3. Power ON the transmitter.
4. Install the fl ight battery in the helicopter.
5. Connect the battery connector to the ESC.
6. Place the helicopter on a fl at surface and leave it still
until the motor beeps twice and the ESC LED glows
solid, indicating initialization is complete.
7. Place the helicopter where you are going to take off.
8. Move and hold
the left stick to
the bottom left
corner and the
right stick to
the top left cor-
ner as shown.
9. Press and hold the bind/panic switch until the
swashplate rotates around once.
10. Release the sticks and bind/panic switch.
11. The model is ready for the trim fl ight.
Performing the Trim Flight
1. Slowly increase the throttle to lift the model into a
stationary hover. Make corrections as necessary to
keep the model still. Evaluation does not begin until the
throttle stick is over 50% and the sticks are centered.
Making corrections will not affect the result but a
longer fl ight may be necessary.
2. Keep the model stationary in a hover for a total of 30
seconds. Sliding and slow movements are okay. The
main goal is to keep the rotor disk level.
3. Once you are satisfi ed with the trim fl ight, land the model.
Exiting Trim Flight Mode
1. After landing, lower the throttle stick to the lowest
position.
2. Press and hold the bind/panic switch for 2 seconds,
or until the swashplate twitches, indicating the servo
positions and attitude values have been recorded and
trim fl ight mode has been exited.
Flight Test
After performing the trim fl ight, test-fl y the model to evalu-
ate the leveling characteristics.
• The model should return to level fl ight consistently.
• During takeoff, the model should lift off with minimal
corrections.
• During a hover, the control stick should remain close to
center. Small corrections are acceptable.
If the model performs poorly or does not level properly after
the trim fl ight, retry the entire
trim fl ight procedure. If the problem persists, inspect the
model for damaged components,
a bent shaft or anything that may result in increased vibra-
tion. The trim fl ight may not record the correct values due to
excessive vibration, fl ying in wind or the model not staying
level. In these cases, shorter trim fl ights may be neces-
sary. Try the 30-second, level trim fl ight without corrections
mentioned above fi rst. If the leveling characteristics are not
satisfactory, gradually shorten the trim fl ights, checking for
improvements until the model performs as described.
