TRAINING GEAR
If you have never flown a helicopter before, consider purchasing
training gear. It not only helps prevent crashes and tip-overs, but
prevents damage by softening not-so-perfect landings.The Heli-
Max Training Gear (HMXE2025) is highly recommended.
FLYING CONDITIONS
During your first flight, it is very helpful to fly in light winds and
have a helper to keep an eye on things around you. If you are
flying off grass, make sure it is cut low. This will allow the
helicopter to slide around without catching. Finally, make
sure there are no obstacles or distractions in your flying area.
BEFORE EACH FLIGHT
Please inspect the model for loose or damaged parts.
Inspect the main rotor blades and ball links. Make sure you
have selected the proper model in the transmitter and all of
the controls operate in the correct direction.
STARTING THE MODEL
Set the engine’s needle valve to the recommended factory
setting. Please review the manufacturer’s operating
instructions for the engine.
If you are flying at a club, be sure you use their frequency control
system. Turn on the radio first and select the correct model. Turn
on the helicopter next. Allow the gyro to initialize for at least 5
seconds before moving the model or using the transmitter.
Fill the fuel tank. Make sure the idle up switch on the
transmitter is set to normal mode and the throttle is at idle.
Check the throttle arm on the engine to verify it is at idle.
Attach the glow igniter to the glow plug. You must have a
solid hold on the blade grip in case the model starts at a
throttle position other than idle. Use the starter to turn the
engine over. If the engine does not want to start, check the
glow plug by removing it and attaching the glow igniter.
Verify that the needle settings are correct. It is possible the
engine could be flooded. If no problems can be found,
assume the engine is flooded. Remove the fuel line from the
carburetor and try starting the engine again.
Once the model has been started and has warmed up,
remove the glow igniter. Carry the model out to the location
where you plan on flying. Place the model on the ground and
walk back at least 30' [or 10m].
