Ground Effect; Free Flying Training - Carson Mini Tyrann Pro 260 Betriebsanleitung

Hover flight
Hover flight means maintaining the helicopter in a stable position
in the air. Hover flight is only possible with a helicopter and must be
thoroughly practiced as a fundamental flight formation.
Acquaint yourself with the control functions of your remote control
transmitter so that this procedure gets you're your "flesh and blood".
• Then set the helicopter about 2 m in front of you on the ground,
GB
with the tail facing to you.
• Leave the helicopter on the ground and first deliberately move it
slightly sidewise, forwards and backwards.
• When you have mastered control on the ground, give somewhat
more lift and permit it to hover above the ground, without
allowing the tip of the fuselage to turn or the helicopter to drift
away.
• The best procedure is to mark a position on the ground from which
you start the model. Attempt to hold the helicopter above this
position and also to land again on this position.
• Do not move the control lever too jerkily, because otherwise
especially the touchdown can be very hard. Develop a feeling for
the controls by repeatedly lifting off, floating and landing again.
o. Ground Effect
ATTENTION!
Up to a height of about 30 cm, the model is
in the area of influence of the air turbulence
caused by its own rotors.
On one hand, this "ground effect" facilitates the lift
off of the helicopter since the air pressed downwards
by the rotors of the helicopter helps lift the aircraft
from the ground.
But in the immediate area this effect is reversed, since
the air flowing away laterally from the helicopter
creates an underpressure and the model is actually
sucked back down towards the ground. This can lead
to an ungentle landing.
For this reason the flight behaviour of the model at
low heights is rather unstable. If the restless flight
behaviour causes difficulties for you, increase the
flying height by degrees.
p. Free Flying Training
The helicopter is no longer in the area of influence of the air
turbulence from its own rotors as of a flying height of about 2 m and
the flight situation is more stable.

• If you notice irregularities in the control or an imbalance in the
rotor, land
immediately
and correct the necessary settings.
• Increase the flying height gradually by degrees.
