Programming a helicopter model

Preparing the helicopter

Set all servos to neutral; the arms must be at right angles and the

swashplate must be in the neutral position (perpendicular to the

main rotor axis). The swashplate pushrods must be the same length.

Transmitter presettings

Select the free/deleted model memory and activate the helicopter

model. Set the pitch front/back according to your personal prefer-

ences and do not change it anymore.

All trims must be set to 0 (Servo display 0%) and must not be altered

in flight under any circumstances. If possible, trims should therefore

be deactivated in the transmitter (set the trim steps to 0).

• Activate or retain the servo for swashplate type 1 (the swash-

plate mixer is implemented in the FBL system of the receiver).

• The settings for the servo travel and direction remain at first to

standard, 100% and not reversed.

• Do not connect the tail servo if it does not have a mid-point of

1.5 ms (standard).

• Swashplate servo arrangement at 120/135/140°:

• front left = 1, front right = 2, back =3

• If the swash plate is turned of 180° and the nick servo is forward,

the connection sequence does not change. The left roll servo is

always 1.

• Bind the receiver to the transmitter.

Initializing the gyro (helicopter)

Once the model has been switched on, the gyro immediately

becomes active but still needs to be initialized. To initialize the gyro,

keep your model still when you switch it on. The calibration process

can only be performed when the receiver is absolutely still. After

approx. 3 seconds in the idle position, the swashplate moves briefly

three times. These "wiggles" signal that initialization has been suc-

cessful and that calibration is complete. Always wait until the calibra-

tion process has finished before starting to fly the model.
