Flying the 70 S

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

If this is your ﬁ rst helicopter, we suggest getting assistance from an experienced helicopter pilot or ﬂ ying club until you are comfortable ﬂ ying alone.

We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds.

It is best to ﬂ y from a smooth ﬂ at surface as this will allow the model to slide without tipping over. Keep the helicopter approximately 2ft(600mm) above the ground. Keep the tail pointed toward you during initial ﬂ ights to keep the control orientation consistent. If you become disoriented while ﬂ ying, slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly.

During initial ﬂ ights, only attempt takeoff, landing and hovering in one spot.

Takeo

Place the model onto a ﬂ at, level, obstacle free surface and walk back 30 feet (10 meters). The model has a safety lock which disables the throttle both at initial startup and whenever the model does not receive any throttle input for greater than 10 seconds. The blue LED on the aircraft will blink slowly to indicate the throttle is locked. To unlock the throttle fully lower the throttle stick. Push the rudder control fully to the right and hold for 3seconds. The blue LED on the aircraft will ﬂ ash rapidly indicating the throttle is active. The aircraft is now ready for ﬂ ight and will respond to any throttle input.

IMPORTANT: If the main motor or tail motor do not startup properly when throttle is ﬁ rst applied after the throttle is unlocked, immediately return the throttle to idle and try again. If the problem persists, disconnect the ﬂ ight battery, check for binding in the gear train and ensure no wires or debris have become entangled within the gears.

Slowly increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2ft.(600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model ﬂ ies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin ﬂ ying the model.

Hovering

Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the helicopter in one spot. If ﬂ ying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the cyclic stick and returning it to center, the model should level itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the cycle stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.

After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress into ﬂ ying the model to different locations, keeping the tail pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and descend using the throttle stick. Once you’re comfortable with these maneuvers, you can attempt ﬂ ying with the tail in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the ﬂ ight control inputs will rotate with the helicopter, so always try to picture the control inputs relative to the nose of the helicopter. For example, forward will always drop the nose of the helicopter.

The average ﬂ ight time of the aircraft using the recommended battery is approximately 4 minutes, depending on how aggressively the aircraft is ﬂ own.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

LVC decreases the power to the motors and the green LED ﬂ ashes slowly when the ﬂ ight battery voltage gets low. When the green LED ﬂ ashes or the motor power decreases land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC may damage the battery.

Landing

To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover until the aircraft touches down. After landing, disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft to prevent trickle discharge. Fully charge your battery before storing it. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist

Ball Links

Cleaning Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry, lint-free cloth. Bearings Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy. Wiring Make sure the wiring does not contact moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.

Fasteners

Rotors

Tail Inspect the tail rotor for damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the tail boom for any damage and replace if necessary.

Mechanics

Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during  ight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail.

Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the screw only 1/8th of a turn more.

Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before  ying. Verify both main rotor blades have the correct and equal tension in the blade grips. When the helicopter is held up sideways, the main blades should support their own weight. When the helicopter is shaken lightly, the blades should fall.

Inspect the main frame and landing gear for damage and replace if necessary. Check the mainshaft for vertical play. Verify that the main gear mesh is correct and that no tight spots exist in the 360 degree rotation. Replace components as necessary.

Check main rotor blades and blade grips for cracks or chips. Replace damaged parts. Replace bent spindle

Verify the receiver is properly attached to the helicopter. Inspect and balance all rotating components. Verify the main shaft and tail rotor are not damaged or bent. Inspect mechanics for broken or damaged parts and replace as necessary

Inspect the tail rotor for damage. Inspect the tail boom for cracks. Verify main gear mesh and ensure no tight spots in the mesh through full rotation. Replace any damaged or worn components

The model will drift with the wind but should remain level in  ight. Simply hold the cyclic stick in the necessary position to keep the model stationary. The model must lean into the wind to remain stationary. If the model remains level then it will drift with the wind

Always lift off from a level surface

Check the main shaft, tail rotor, main rotor blades and main frame for damage and replace as necessary
