brushless motor, ESC or LiPo packs. Follow the instructions of
the ESC Manual and set it up correctly.
11. Final checks before attempting flights: Before attempting to
fly, please go through this manual and double check your work
again.
1. Check that the main and tail rotor blades turn in the
correct direction (main rotor clockwise, tail rotor
counter-clockwise).
2. Check to ensure that all of the servos are operating
smoothly and in the correct direction and that each
servo is secured with a screw.
3. Ensure that the ESC and brushless Motor is working
properly and in the correct direction.
4. Check that the virtual Flybar System is operational and
compensating in the correct direction. Make sure that
booth the transmitter and receiver have been fully
charged.
5. Check that the main and tail rotor blades are installed
correctly.
CAUTION
Be sure to maintain a safe distance of at least 7 meters from
the helicopter when observing the track of the main rotor disc.
Blade tracking ensures that both of the main blades are set to
the same pitch angle, and if done correctly, it will make your
helicopter operate smoothly. Adjustment should be done
using the following method: Increase the pitch of the low blade
by
extending its connecting link by one full turn.
NOTE: you can only make this adjustment in increments of
one full turn. Otherwise, you will be trying to fit the link on the
ball joint the wrong way (the mark on the link must face
outwards). Check the tracking again, if the tips of the rotor
blades are in line, you have finished and ready for your first
flight! If the blades still require adjustment then reduce the
pitch of the high blade this time. Repeat this procedure until
the blades are tracking true.
A check of the tracking should be part of your pre-flight check
routine. If it has suddenly gone out, it is an indicator that
something is wrong and needs immediate investigation. The
RJX VECTRON 520 is the perfect choice of intermediate and
expert level RC Helicopter pilots, however, radio controlled
models such as this can crash and cause serious damage to
people and property if not properly assembled and flown with
great care. Please exercise the highest levels of caution and
safety when operating this model and if you are a beginner,
please seek help from an experienced RC helicopter pilot.
Pre-Flight
Check the battery voltages of the transmitter and
receiver packs. Do not risk that “last flight”, it really
might be the last flight of the helicopter.
Check to ensure the main rotor and the tail rotor are
free from damage. Do not fly with suspect components.
Range-check the transmitter to a distance of at least 60
to 75 meters from the model with the transmitter
antenna down, checking all control movements.
