- 8 - Flight Basics Mode 1 (Right Throttle) When aileron is moved to the left, swash plate should also tilt and Helex moves to the left. When aileron is moved to the right, swash plate should also tilt and Helex moves to the right. When throttle is pushed up, rotor speed increases and Helex lifts up. When throttle is pushed down, rotor speed reduces and Helex descends.
- 9 - When elevator stick is pushed up, nose will tilt down and Helex moves forward. When elevator stick is pushed down, nose will tilt down and Helex moves backwards. When rudder is moved to the right, nose of Helex turns right. When rudder is moved to the left, nose of Helex turns left.
- 10 - Mode 2 (Left Throttle) When aileron is moved to the left, swash plate should also tilt and Helex moves to the left. When aileron is moved to the right, swash plate should also tilt and Helex moves to the right. When throttle is pushed up, rotor speed increases and Helex lifts up. When throttle is pushed down, rotor speed reduces and Helex descends.
- 11 - \ When elevator stick is pushed up, nose will tilt down and Helex moves forward. When elevator stick is pushed down, nose will tilt down and Helex moves backwards. When rudder is moved to the right, nose of Helex turns right. When rudder is moved to the left, nose of Helex turns left.
- 12 - Trimming When the Helex moves forward on its own, trim the elevator lever back. When the Helex moves backward on its own, trim the elevator lever forward. Mode I Mode II When the Helex moves right on its own, trim the aileron lever left.. When the Helex moves left on its own, trim the aileron lever right. Mode I Mode II When the Helex turn right on its own, trim the rudder lever left.. When the Helex turns left on its own, trim the rudder lever right. Mode I Mode II
- 13 - Flight Tips To make it easier, always stand behind the helicopter, facing in the same direction. This will make it easier for you to understand the basics of flying a helicopter. Avoid moving the control sticks too abruptly as sudden changes in direction or speed may cause the upper and lower blades to hit one another. Hovering means maintaining the helicopter in a static position in mid air. Hovering is the most basic and important skill in flying helicopter and should be well practiced. 1. Gently push the throttle up until the skid pads are about to leave the floor. 2. Increase the throttle further to lift it off the ground. 3. Practice hovering around 50cm above the ground initially before flying it higher. 4. Reduce the throttle gently to land the helicopter. Sudden increase or decrease of the throttle may cause crashes to the helicopter and is dangerous. Once you’ve mastered the hovering, slowly tilt the other control sticks in the direction in which you want. Practice one operation at a time. When you’re familiar, you can increase the throttle further increase flying height. If the unit starts moving in any direction, use the trimmers to improve stability of the product.
- 14 - Flight Troubleshooting The main blades are the parts that take the most impact during flying. It is often that flying performance improves just by replacing the main blade. It is recommended that during blade replacements, both blades are to be balance adjusted to ensure smooth flying. Helex does not move at all 1. Check if power is switched on at the transmitter and Helex. 2. Check that the battery levels on transmitter and Helex are sufficient. 3. Check that the radio frequency on transmitter is the same as that of Helex. 4. Check if the throttle is pushed to the top. Helex flies unsteadily 1. Check that the battery levels on transmitter and Helex are sufficient. 2. Check that the antenna is fully extended for maximum range coverage. 3. Check that the main blades are not damaged. Helex does not stop rotating 1. Check that the rudder has been trimmed correctly. 2. Check that the main blade is balanced. 3. Check if the motor is not damaged or worn. Helex does not stop moving 1. Check that the unit is not being caught in winds 2. Check if the battery is properly aligned in the battery cage 3. Check to ensure trimming has been done Helex vibrates strongly 1. Check that the main blades are able to move smoothly 2. Check that the main mast is not deformed.
