e) Basic Information Relevant to the Control of Model Helicopters

Before you fly your model, you should first familiarise yourself with the control possibilities open to you and thereby
be able to fly safely. The model helicopter is controlled via the two control sticks at the remote control transmitter. The
following functions are available:
Pitch Function
With the pitch function you can control the flying height of the helicopter (see figure 11). The left control stick (also see
figure 1, item 17) is used for control. To that effect, the control stick can be moved forward and backward. Unlike the
other control functions, the stick does not keep springing back to the centre position.
Depending on the control stick position, the angle of attack of the rotor blades changes. If the control stick is pulled all
the way to the body, the rotor blades show the maximum negative angle of attack. If the control stick is pushed all the
way to the front, the rotor blades have the maximum positive angle of attack. In parallel to this, the control stick also
controls the motor output. The required values for the pitch function and the motor output can be specified individually
for each flight mode with the corresponding characteristic curves (pitch and throttle curves).
If you push the control stick from the bottom position forward, the main rotor runs and increases the speed according
to the position of the stick. Once the control stick is in the centre position, the main rotor speed and the angle of attack
of the rotor blades should be high enough for the helicopter to hover. Parallel to the main rotor, the tail rotor speed is
automatically controlled by a percentage.
