Flight Control - REVELL Control Shadow CAM Bedienungsanleitung

6 triM adJustMEnt oF thE control
The model must be switched on first in order to connect it to the remote control.
Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please observe
the following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the
helicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.
6A If the model automatically moves slowly or quickly to the left or right ...
gradually press the trim for sideways flight (2K) in the opposite direction.
6B If the model moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ...
press the trim adjustment for rotation (2A) incrementally in the opposite direction.
6C If the model automatically moves slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ...
gradually press the forwards/backwards trim (2J) in the opposite direction.

7 Flight control

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying behavior
of the model! The direction indication applies when the model is viewed from behind. If
the model is flying forwards towards the pilot, it must be moved in the opposite direction.
7A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust and
rotation (2C) forward.
7B Land or decrease altitude by moving the control for thrust and
rotation (2C) backward.
7C Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways
flight (2I) carefully forward.
7D F ly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways
flight (2I) carefully backward.
7E Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways
flight (2I) carefully to the left.
7F Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways
flight (2I) carefully to the right.
7G Turn the model around to the left by moving the control for thrust and rotation (2C)
to the left.
7H Turn model around to the right by moving the control for thrust and rotation (2C)
to the right.
2D Video button: Press the video button to take a photo. Hold the video button down
for approx. 3 seconds to start the video recording. Press it again for three seconds to
stop the recording. Only recordings that are stopped with this button are saved.
2G Turbo switch: When the model is switched on, only the lowest speed level is
activated. Press the switch once to activate the middle level - two short beeps sound.
Press the switch again and the remote control beeps three times to indicate the high-
est speed level. Press the switch once more to return to the initial level.
2H Flip button: Each time the Flip button is pressed, the model carries out a flip
maneuver in the direction in which the control for forwards/backwards and sideways
movement (2I) is moved immediately afterwards. Only activate this function if there is
enough space available and the model is flying at a height of at least 2 meters.

2P Button for Headless Mode: Headless mode supports beginners in the initial
stages. Regardless of where the quadrocopter turns, the direction of flight always
corresponds exactly to the direction specified with the control for forwards/backwards
and sideways movement (2I). An example: If the model were to be turned 180° and
flown towards the operator, the operator would have to „convert" the forwards/back-
wards and sideways movement accordingly. This is no longer necessary if headless
mode is activated, as the internal processor always converts the control directions
automatically. The LEDs on the model always flash briefly twice if headless mode is
activated. Pressing the 2P button again deactivates the mode
Attention: The model „notes" the forwards direction during each switch-on. This
means that the operator must not turn when controlling the model, as this would
change the concept of „forwards" and „right/left" in relation to the model. If the operator
changes position and wants to use headless mode - or if the control direction is no longer
correct due to a collision, the model must be restarted.
8 MEMorY card
8A Insert a memory card: To record videos, the micro-SD memory card must be
inserted. The card must be inserted carefully in the slot on the left side of the camera
(1H) with the contacts facing to the front and upwards until it engages. Do not use
force, otherwise the camera or the memory card could be damaged. Only standard
micro-SD memory cards can be used, HC cards are not supported.
8B Remove the memory card: To remove the micro-SD memory from the camera,
press on the memory card. There is an audible, quiet click and the card is pushed out
half way. It can then be pulled out completely using fingers.
8C Read the memory card: The micro-SD memory card can be read on a computer
using the USB adapter provided. To do this, insert the USB adapter in a free USB port
and insert the micro-SD card in the adapter with the contacts facing forwards. Note
that the card only fits into the adapter in one direction, do not use force. If the card
and the adapter are inserted correctly, the computer will show a message.
instructions For saFE FlYing
GENERAL FLyING TIPS:
• Always place the model on a level surface.
An inclined surface can, under certain
circumstances, have a negative impact on
the starting behavior of the model.
• Always operate the controls slowly and
with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
model and do not look at the remote
control!
• Move the thrust control down again some-
what as soon as the model lifts off from
the ground. Maintain flying altitude by
adjusting the thrust controller.
• If the model lowers, move the thrust
control slightly upward again.
• If the model climbs, move the thrust
control down slightly.
• To fly along a curve, tapping the
directional controller very slightly in the
respective direction often suffices.
There is a general tendency during
preliminary attempts at flight to operate
the model's controls too aggressively.
Always operate the controls slowly and
carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming
before attempting to master the thrust
controller. The model does not necessa-
rily have to fly straight at the beginning
- initially, it is more important to
maintain a constant height of approxi-
mately one meter above the ground by
repeatedly tapping the thrust control.
Only then should the pilot practice
steering the model left and right.
