Installing the Flight Battery 1. Lower the throttle. 2. Power on the transmitter. 3. Center the throttle trim. 4. To allow the ESC to arm and to keep rotors from initiating at startup, turn on throttle hold and normal flight mode before connecting the flight battery. 5. Attach hook material to the helicopter frame and loop material to the battery. 6. Install the flight battery on the helicopter frame. Secure the flight battery with a hook and loop strap. Connect the battery cable to the ESC.
Throttle Hold Throttle hold only turns off the motor on an electric helicopter. You maintain pitch and direction control. The blades will spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls. Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor if the helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both. Control Tests CAUTION: You must complete the Rudder and Cyclic tests prior to flight.
Collective Pitch Front View Front View Collective pitch up Motor Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, flat and level surface (concrete or asphalt) free of obstructions. Always stay clear of moving rotor blades. 1. The motor emits a series of tones when the helicopter’s ESC arms properly. Before you continue, confirm that TH HOLD is ON. WARNING: The motor will spin when throttle is increased while TH HOLD is OFF. 2. Check the swashplate directions to ensure they are moving in the correct direction.
Takeoff Deliberately increase throttle and establish a hover at least 24” (0.6 meter) high, outside of ground effect. Landing Establish a low level hover. Deliberately lower the throttle until the helicopter lands. Do not give any aileron, elevator or rudder commands when the helicopter is landing. When the helicopter is in stunt mode: • The Castle Creations Talon 35 ESC comes pre-programmed in Governor mode. To alter the settings, use the Castle Creations “Castle Link”.
Post-Flight Inspections and Maintenance Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is Ball Links too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during flight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail. Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry Cleaning lint free cloth.
Problem Possible Cause Solution Main rotor head is not spinning in the correct Make sure the main rotor head is spinning clockwise.
