User manual GRAUPNER NANO FIGHTER GYRO

[. . . ] The only way to avoid injury to persons and damage to property is to handle and operate the model with the greatest care and consideration at all times. According to the new regulation of §103 Paragraph 3 of the LuftVZO (German Aviation Approvals Office), all model aircraft - whether slow-flyer, park-flyer, glider, or model aircraft propelled by any form of power plant - must be insured before the model is operated. If you are not sure about this, please ask at your local model shop where the staff will be glad to advise you. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to pass them on to the new owner. [. . . ] After about 30 minutes, when the battery is fully charged, the LED in the plug will light up, and the charge lead must be disconnected. During the charge process the switch on the helicopter must be left at the OFF position. Remote control functions Climb If you slowly move the left-hand stick (throttle stick) forward (away from you), the main rotor blades will start to rotate and accelerate steadily; the helicopter takes off and climbs. Descent If you move the left-hand stick (throttle stick) back (towards you), the main rotor blades slow down; the helicopter starts to descend. Nose left If you move the right-hand stick (rudder stick) to the left, the helicopter's nose moves to the left. Nose right If you move the right-hand stick (rudder stick) to the right, the helicopter's nose moves to the right. Forward If you move the right-hand stick forward (away from you), the helicopter flies forward. Back If you move the right-hand stick back (towards you), the helicopter flies backwards. If you find that the model's nose constantly turns in one direction, turn the trim knob in the opposite direction until the rotation ceases. When the transmitter cells are almost exhausted, the LED starts flashing red. The helicopter can be operated on three different channels (A, B or C). Select the channel, switch the transmitter on, then switch the helicopter on; if the LED on the circuit board in the fuselage lights up, you can start flying Flying the model 1. Keep the blue dome of the transmitter pointing at the helicopter at all times. Place the model on a flat floor, and check once more that there are no people, animals or other obstacles close by. Slowly move the throttle stick forward: the helicopter lifts off and climbs. If necessary, turn the trim knob to trim the helicopter, then use the sticks to control the model. Controlling climb, descent and hovering The first step in getting maximum fun out of the Nano Fighter Gyro Helicopter is to establish a stable, smooth hover. After a little practice the multi-channel control system can be used to fly the model in a similar manner to a "proper" model helicopter: When the machine reaches the desired altitude, hold the left-hand stick (climb / descent) as still as possible in the position where the helicopter neither climbs nor descends. If the model starts turning in either direction, use the right-hand stick to counteract the movement; in this way you will soon achieve a steady hover. Once you have learned the skill of keeping the Nano Fighter Gyro hovering at a particular height, without rotating, you can deliberately alter the orientation of the fuselage (and therefore the possible direction of flight) using the direction control (right stick). The forward / back control (right stick again) is used to accelerate or brake the model in this direction; the helicopter is even capable of flying slowly backwards. By combining all the stick functions the model can be controlled in a similar manner to a `real' helicopter.
