1 Flight practice for the beginner
1.1Matters needing attention
(1) The beginners should be supervised and guided by skilled pilots when practicing.
(2) For the sake of safety, people should keep at least 5 meters away from the helicopter during practicing.
(3) Choose a spacious ground without people and obstacles as the flight practice field.
(4) This is a 3D helicopter. We kindly suggest that the knowledge of flying 2D/ coaxial helicopter is preliminary
before flight.
1.2 Steps
(1) Practice of throttle control - stationary flight
When helicopter taking off from the ground, slowly pull down the throttle stick and land it on gradually and
stably. Repeatedly practice this step until controlling over the throttle stick with facility.
When hovering, tail rotor counteracts torque but also pushes helicopter to the left. Don’t forget to counteract
this effect using cyclic stick to the right and take off slightly inclined. It is important to hover vertically, stabilize
helicopter at 1.5m height and then land it.
Mode 1
Mode 2
(2) Practice of aileron and elevator control
Mode 1
Mode 2
Slowly push up the throttle stick to purposely fly your helicopter forward, backward, left and right; then
reversely control over the aileron stick and elevator stick to fly your helicopter back to the takeoff point.
Repeatedly practice this step until controlling with facility.
(3) Practice of rudder control
Mode 1
Mode 2
Slowly move the throttle stick to change the head of your helicopter left and right, respectively; reversely control
over the relative sticks to restore your helicopter. Repeatedly practice this step until controlling with facility.
(4) Practicing circular flight
After mastering steps (1) to (3) with ease, please draw or mark a large circle on the ground. Fly your helicopter
along this circular track until the flight is smooth and controlled.
You may wish to stand inside the circle at first to practice circular flight before needing to control the nose
in orientation.Fly circles in both directions and at a constant altitude to be comfortable with this step.
