STARTING UP CENTURY SWIFT 100% RTF
P.10
Note: If you do not hear a series of tones after battery power is applied, the ESC has not armed properly.
Please review the following:
1.) Install the 8 included AA batteries in the Elite 6-channel 2.4GHz Spread Spectrum Technology transmitter. Check the power level of the
batteries and operation of the transmitter by switching the power switch on (to the right). The LED lights on the transmitter will indicate
the voltage condition of the batteries. If at any time the voltage of the batteries falls to a point when the RED LED lights up it will be neces-
sary to replace the batteries with new ones, use the recommended size and voltage.
2.) Confirm that the throttle stick is in the lowest possible position and that the throttle trim is set at the bottom position.
3.) Confirm that all connections are still intact. Check the wire going from the ESC to the receiver.
If the ESC will not arm after confirming the details listed above, contact Century Helicopter Products Support staff at 408-451-1155
before proceeding.
4.) Once you have placed the helicopter in a safe area, free of obstructions, and are clear of the rotor blades, you can safely begin to power
up the model to confirm proper operation and operating direction of the motor and rotor blades.
5.) Advance the throttle stick slowly, just until the motor and rotor blades begin to spin. Note the direction that the main and tail rotor
blades spin. The main rotor blades should spin clockwise when viewed from the top, and the tail rotor blades should spin counterclockwise
when viewed from the right-hand side of the helicopter. If both sets of rotor blades are operating in the wrong direction, power down the
helicopter, unplug the flight battery, then simply reverse the position of red and black wire lead connections from the ESC to the motor.
Note: If the main rotor blades are operating in the correct direction but the tail rotor blades are not, the belt driving the tail rotor may be
“twisted” in the wrong direction. To correct this, remove the tail rotor case and parts from the tail boom and pull the belt “straight” (so it
is horizontal and has no twists). Then, rotate the belt 90 degrees clockwise when viewing the helicopter from behind.
