Flight Operation - Carson Helicopter Agusta Westland Grand Betriebsanleitung

g. Flight Operation
Switching on the model
Ensure sufficient space in order to undertake the first flight
experiments. Even if the helicopter can later be flown in the smallest
quarters, it requires about 3 m free space in all directions.
• Set the model on a smooth and level surface, so that the helicopter
can freely glide and lift off.
GB
• Set the helicopter about 2 m in front of yourself on the ground, the
tail pointing towards you. This way the direction of reaction of the
helicopter conforms to the direction of control.
• Unwind the receiver antenna completely and fasten the aerial wire
with an adhesive strip to the fuselage for traction relief.
• Pull the left remote control lever (pitch) totally back.
• Take care that the pitch function of the trim lever is approximately
in the middle position.
• Switch the transmitter on.
• Now connect the charged airplane battery to the receiver.
The LED on the receiver begins to blink. This indicates that the electric
circuit of the electronic gyro is calibrating itself.
The model may now not be moved!
When the process is concluded and the receiver is receiving correct
signals the LED lights up continuously.
If the LED blinks slowly, then the battery voltage is too low. Recharge
the battery or replace it with an original replacement battery!
Check the effective range of the remote control
transmitter
Before every first start or after a crash, check the function and
effective range of the RC equipment! In the neutral position of the
control lever of nick and roll, the wobble plate should also be in
neutral position.
If this is not the case, correct the position with the trim levers of the
respective control channel on the transmitter.
• Move slowly away from the model (motor is not running!).
• Consecutively press the remote control levers nick and roll and
• Observe the reactions of the model.

Bring all control levers into the neutral position.
• Move the left control lever slightly forward, until the model just
lifts off from the ground.
• Pull the control lever slowly back again, so that the model gently
alights.
Move the control extremely delicately!
The RC equipment works faultlessly if from about 30 m distance the
model still correctly responds to the remote control signals. The
maximum range of the transmitter is about 100 m.
Never drive the model if the remote control does not work properly!
A malfunction of the radio may cause damage to the model, property
and/or serious injury.
If the remote control should fail to function perfectly, first check the
state of charge of the transmitter and receiver batteries and make sure
that no one else is transmitting on your frequency.
