Turning the Model On
The Novus Helicopter uses a 2.4GHz system that requires a binding process
when the unit is powered up. This process involves connecting the flight battery to
the ESC with the transmitter turned off. Ensure that the throttle stick is at its lowest
position and turn the transmitter on. You will notice that the transmitter logo begins
to flash, indicating that the binding process is taking place.
Once the logo quits flashing you should see the servos move, signifying that the
receiver is now bound to the transmitter. The helicopter must be left still for 5
seconds so the gyro can perform the initialization process. The Novus Helicopter
is now ready for flight. Always step 15 feet [4.5m] away from the Novus Helicopter
before operating the throttle. Do not hold the model while operating the throttle.
A safe start is built into the Novus Helicopter that prevents the motor from
activating unless the collective stick has been lowered to the lowest position. If
the motor won’t run and turn the main blades, please make sure the collective
stick is all the way down and leave it there for a couple of seconds. Then try
moving the stick up slowly.
Balance the Main Blades
The Novus Helicopter main rotor blades are already balanced and ready to fly.
