OPERATING YOUR MODEL SAFELY

Operate the helicopter in spacious areas with no people nearby.

!Warning: Do NOT operate the helicopter in the following places and situations (or else you risk severe accidents):

• in places where children gather or people pass through

• in residential areas and parks

• indoors and in limited space

• in windy weather or when there is any rain, snow, fog or other precipitation

If you do not observe these instructions you may be held reliable for personal injury or property damage!

Always check the R/C system prior to operating your helicopter. When the R/C system batteries get weaker, the operational range of the R/C system decreases.

Note that you may lose control of your model when operating it under such conditions.

Safety Instructions

fix the problem. Do not operate the model again as long as the problem is not solved, as this may lead to further trouble and unforeseen accidents.

! Warning: In order to prevent accidents and personal injury, be sure to observe the following:

Before flying the helicopter, ensure that all screws are tightened. A single loose screw may cause a major accident.

Replace all broken or defective parts with new ones, as damaged parts lead to crashes.

Never approach a spinning rotor. Keep at least 10 meters/yards away from a spinning rotor blades.

Do not touch the motor immediately after use. It may be hot enough to cause burns.

Perform all necessary maintenance.

Keep in mind that other people around you might also be operating a R/C model.

Never use a frequency which someone else is using at the same time. Radio signals will be mixed and you will lose control of your model.

If the model shows irregular behavior, bring the model to a halt immediately. Turn off all power switches and disconnect the batteries. Investigate the reason and

PRIOR TO ADJUSTING AND OPERATING YOUR MO-

DEL, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

!Warning: Operate the helicopter only outdoors and out of people’s reach as the main rotor operates at high rpm!

! Warning: While adjusting, stand at least 10 meters/ yards away from the helicopter!

Novice R/C helicopter pilots should always seek advice from experienced pilots to obtain hints with assembly and for pre-flight adjustments. Note that a badly assembled or insufficiently adjusted helicopter is a safety hazard!

In the beginning, novice R/C helicopter pilots should always be assisted by an experienced pilot and never fly alone!

It is very important that you grease the 3x4x3.5 sleeve on which the thrustbearing is mounted. You must grease the inside and the outside of the sleeve. Note also: Apply Loctite only to the inside of the tail rotor hub. Any Loctite inside of the sleeve will make the tail blad holders run unsmooth. Therefore, do not use

Loctite on the thread of the screw.

7 Mounting the Motor

Bag 1

For mounting the new motor counterbearing with rotorshaft suport, please follow these steps: First, mount the main gear, the rotor shaft assembly and all shims. Secure assembly with the 10 mm c-clip (Picture 2). The main gear will have 0.5 mm axial play. This is normal and will facilitate the mounting and positioning of the pinion later on.

Now mount the motor and the counterbearing. Once the motor position is set (please ensure correct gear backlash!), please screw the rotorshaft support onto the counterbearing, using the three M3x6 screws.

Please mount the motor, motor plate, pinion and counterbearing as illustrated in the above picture. When positioning the pinion, please ensure that it sits exactly on the ball bearing of the counterbearing with only one shim ( 5x10x1 ) inbetween. Also make sure that the M3 set screw sits on the flattened area of the motor shaft.

Installation of the Motor Pinion

Screw the motor pinion onto the motor shaft, making sure that it can still be moved. Now mount the motor on the motor plate and move the pinion so it is aligned well with the main gear. As visual help for aligning the pinion you may use the small ridge which separates the two parts of the pinion. When the pinion is aligned correctly it will easily engage with the main gear. If the pinion does not engage with the main gear, it is not correctly aligned. After the pinion is correctly aligned, take the motor out of the mainframe and tighten the set screw.

Gear Backlash

Move the motor with the pinion until it is limited by the gear. Tighten one of the M4x32 screws slightly. You must still be able to swivel the motor around its own axis. In this way you can easily determine the correct distance between the main gear and the pinion.

There should be no (!) gear backlash. At the same time, the motor should not (!) exert any pressure onto the running surface of the main gear. After you have determined the correct distance, tighten the second M4x32 screw.
