Electric RC Helicopler

The

S.R.B. Quark offers to those who

have mastered hovering with lhe X.R.B.

co-axial counter-rotating indoor

electric RC helcopter, an

even

higher

level oi ireedom of flight control, while

the design ensures

greaier

safety
an0 ease ol use.
The

S.R.B.

Quark

employs

a single rotor systern,

yet

it has the man

rotor and ihe tail rotor

just

ike

general

helicopters,

providing

a more realistic

helicopter style. At lhe same

time, ts design oifers the most

superior

slability and excellent conirollability

among the single-rotor RC he icopters.

Athough the S.R.B.

Quark ofiers the most superior stability

and excellent controlabiljty among lhe

single-rotor

RC helicopters, due to the

characterlstic ieaiure oi a single rotor he icopter,

S.R.B

Quarks

steering will feel

mofe sensitive than co

axial counter-rotaling helicopters like X.R.B,

and it requires more stck

operation to

control lake-ofi or

pirouettes.

Please

read these inslructions

carelully n order lo master the handling

ol this

helicooter.
lJ

you

can masler the

S.F.B. Quark,

you

will have reached a level wheTe

even RC helicopters aimed

at expefts

will

be within

your

abilily to control. We

$Do

not use a combination ol different

kinds of dry batteries, such

as alkaline, manganese,

NiCd,

is a risk that

the antenna tip could

SNever

attempt to Ily with the antenna

of the transmitter

not fulty extended. lf the transmitter

is used

while the antenna

is not lully extended, the

radio waves will nol

reach

as

lf the

is switched on

while the transmitter

risk that

unintended movement ol

the flying unit will occur.

QNever

commence

flying without first making sure

lhat the transmitter's antenna

is not loose.

Il the antenna

were lo loosen and detach during

flying, then no signal could

be transmitted and the

flying unit would crash.

Remove the battery and

store it in a

place

lf the battery

it could leak and

lf leaking does occur,

be sure to completely

Dispose of batteries

Before

beginning tlight

make sure to learn how to

control

with

the charl above.

" When we

speak of the

"up"

or

"down"

operation of the

elevators,

this

does not reier to moving the stick up

and down, but rather moving the nose

up or down. li

you

think of a steering rod, it wili

be easier to

picture

this.

ACaution

O

During a flight,

be sure to always keep

your

fingers

on

the transmiller's

sticks. Continuous operation

oI

the controls is required

lor RC helicopters, and therefore

attempting to operate the flying unit without

your

fingers

on

the

lransmitter stick increases ihe

chance of

incorrect

operation or a crash.

O

In operating the transmitter,

the flying unit moves in

proportion

lo how much and how long

you

tilt

a

stick. Therefore, be sure to move the

sfick slowly, little by little. A

quick,

large move

of the stick makes

the llying unii

unstable, resulting in a crash. While

you

are a beginfier

practicing

how to Ily an XBB,

try

to move the stick 1 mm by 1 mm.

a

A helicopter does not move

downward on its own

power.

By adiusting its

ascending force, ihe

helicopter ascends, hovers,

and descends in balance with

gravity.

lf

you

bring down the throttle stick

abruptly while the flying unit is in

the ai( the flying unit simply lalls due to

gravity

rcsulting in a crash.

To make

the unit descend, be sure to bring

down the throttle stick slowly liitle by littte. When

the unit

begins to

descend,

leave

the throttle stick as it is and wait until

lhe unit touches down. At the moment

of touchdown, bring the throttle

stick down to its lowest

position.

ACaution

aDo

not run the

eflect

and the life of lhe

discharged.

Do not fly the model

continuously.

Continuously llying the model

will dramatically shorten the life

of the motor.

Although the S.R.B uses

a compact and light high-performance motor, cont nuous

operation exerts a load on the

motor

and causes its ternperalure to increase.

Using the

motor

whi e li is hot dramat cally

shortens its life.

Uslng the spare battery and fying the model

on two batteries one afier the

may

cause the motor

14-1. Changing the aileron and elevator rudder angles

.

The rudder angle is set to the low seiting when the llying unii s shipped
from the faciory

A selector switch on the control unit can be used to switch ihe aileron and
elevalor rudder angle to a two-step selling.

Normally, the rudder angle s set to the low

selling.

Please leave it on this

setiing !ntil

you get

used

to the

controls.

Switching

the

angle to the higher selling makes the steering more

sens

tive. Whlle this

allows

more

precise

operation,

it

also

makes

control

more

difficult. Use

this

setting

when

greater

rudder

control

is required,

such as

when flying

the unil outdoors.

IProcedures]
