User manual GRAUPNER PICO STAR 1 GYRO

[. . . ] The model is supplied factory-assembled, including motors, speed controllers and LiPo battery; the flight battery is already installed in the fuselage. All you have to do is fit dry cells in the (IR) transmitter and charge the flight battery, and the flying fun can commence. The Pico Star 1 Gyro is a small electric-powered remote-controlled model helicopter intended for youngsters of fourteen years and over. If young persons under fourteen years wish to fly the model, an adult must supervise the activity. [. . . ] 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. To save battery power, the transmitter switches off automatically after a few minutes from itself when not in use (Power LED off). 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. Switch the transmitter on, press the throttle stick all the way down: the LED lights up solid orange. First the throttle stick must be pushed to the maximium position, then to the lowest position. 5 seconds the helicopter is ready to fly - the orange LED next to the charging socket lits constantly. 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 Pico Star 1 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.
