Practical Flight Tips For Starting The Model - Reely Bigfox Bedienungsanleitung

13. Practical flight tips for starting the model

We recommend that you choose a sufficiently large and free area of a pprox. 4 x 4 m for the first test flights, even if the
model can later be operated in a very confined space.
Position yourself directly behind the helicopter. This ensures that the model reacts to remote control commands
(right, left, forwards and backwards) exactly as you see them. If the cockpit is facing you, the helicopter will respond
oppositely.
Let the helicopter ascend to eye level after taking off. You can thus optimally recognise the flight attitude of the helicop-
ter, which is much more stable than near the ground. The greater instability of the flight attitude of the helicopter flying
close to the ground is due to the air blown down by the rotor reaching down to the ground (ground effect).
Caution, important!
If the rotors hit any objects and become blocked or if the model overturns, turn off the rotor drive motors
immediately. To do this, move the joystick for the pitch and tail function (see also Figure 1, no. 11) to the
lowest position and hold it in this position. Or you can press the push-button for the landing and stop func-
tion (see Figure 1, no. 9) and hold it down for three seconds.
Never use the stop function when the model is in the air; otherwise, it will fall on the ground draftless and
could sustain damage.
Never try to grab the flying helicopter with your hand. There is an increased risk of injury!
To avoid detrimental deep discharge of the helicopter bat-
tery, make sure you land the model as soon as both LEDs
on the helicopter electronics board start to flash.
For a better illustration of the position of the
LEDs, the cabin cover was removed in Figure
14.
Allow the helicopter battery and the model helicopter suf-
ficient time to cool down before recharging the helicopter
battery or restarting with a replacement battery.
