INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the JR Venture™ 50 3D ARF helicopter. The Venture 50 has been designed to provide the aspiring 3D Heli pilot with a model that is very reliable and durable, while featuring outstanding 3D performance and affordability. Featuring full ball bearings at all critical locations and a high quality Swashplate, the Venture 50 will retain its precision and reliability through many flights. The Venture's unique two-piece box frame design adds rigidity to the model, while keeping the weight and parts count to a minimum. The Venture is equally suited for both the aspiring and accomplished 3D pilot, thanks to the optional 3D control system parts and instructions included with each kit. In its stock form, the Venture is very smooth and predictable, giving the aspiring 3D pilot an additional step to success.

JR CCPM

To take the Venture's design to the next level, JR’s designers turned to CCPM (Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing). CCPM is a unique control system that mounts three servos below the swashplate with short, straight linkages directly to the swashplate at 120 degree intervals. With CCPM, complex collective and cyclic mixing is accomplished electronically, rather than mechanically. As a result, many parts are eliminated, along with excessive control system play, not to mention quicker building and lower maintenance.

What’s more, you get more servo power from CCPM. That’s because instead of one servo moving the collective, you now have three. Instead of one servo moving the cyclic, you have two.

Before you begin the assembly of your Venture 30 CP, we suggest that you first review the entire instruction manual to become familiar with the assembly sequences and parts layout.

Warning

The radio controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a toy but a sophisticated piece of equipment. This product is not recommended for use by children. Radio controlled models such as this are capable of causing both property damage and/or bodily harm to both the operator/assembler and/or spectator if not properly assembled and operated. Horizon Hobby, Inc. assumes no liability for damage that could occur from the assembly and/or use/misuse of this product.

AMA Information

We strongly encourage all prospective and current R/C aircraft pilots to join the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a non-profit organization that provides services to model aircraft pilots. As an AMA member, you will receive a monthly magazine entitled Model Aviation, as well as a liability insurance plan to cover against possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require individuals to hold a current AMA sporting license prior to operation of their models. For further information, contact the AMA.

Preassembly Information

All small hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) for each step are separated and packaged separately within the main parts bags. It is suggested that you place all of the hardware in an open container (e.g., coffee can) during assembly so as not to lose any of the small parts. It may also be helpful to familiarize yourself with the various sizes of screws, bolts, nuts, etc., as illustrated in the appropriate assembly section before you begin assembly. In most cases, at the end of each assembly section, there should be no parts remaining.

Great care has been taken in filling the bags with the correct quantity of parts and hardware for each section. However, occasionally mistakes do happen. In the event that you find a parts shortage or are in need of technical assistance, please contact your local JR heli division parts dealer or the Horizon Service Center directly.

TAIL DRIVE BEL T CONNECTION AND ADJUSTMENT

Engage the tail drive belt over the front pulley. Be certain to note the correct rotation (shown below). Set the belt tension per the directions below.

Secure bolts completly after adjusting the tail belt, making sure that the tail output shaft is exactly 90° to the main rotor shaft.

Rotate the tail drive belt in the direction shown before installing it onto the front pulley. It is extremely important to install the belt in the proper direction to insure correct rotation of the tail rotor blades.

Belt tension should be set so when pressing with your finger, the sides of the belt do

not come in contact with each other. If unsure, it is always better to set the belt tension too tight than too loose.

Insert the tail boom assembly into the rear of the frame as shown.

Note: Check to make sure that the belt is not twisted inside the boom prior to insertion.

Do not fully tighten bolts at this time. These will be tightened in Step 1-2.

To insure smooth operation, it is suggested that the clutch assembly be checked for trueness (runout) prior to final attachment. Place the engine assembly on a flat surface using the engine mount to steady the engine. While viewing the assembly straight on, rotate the fan/clutch assembly while watching the 1-way bearing located in

the center of the clutch. Note the side-to-side movement (wobble or run-out). Next loosen the two 3x5 mm clutchbolts and rotate the clutch 180° on the fan. Re-test and note the runout in this position. Choose the position that shows the least amount of visual runout and secure the clutch using the two 3x5 mm bolts (use threadlock).

SERVO INST ALLATION

RADIO INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS

Be sure to install four rubber servo grommets and eyelets to each servo prior to installation.

When adjusting control rods, be sure to adjust each universal link the same amount so as not to unthread one link too far.

Be sure to keep all servo lead wires, etc., away from all servo arms, rods, and sharp edges of the helicopter’s mechanics. After final installation, group these wires together as indicated using the small nylon wire ties and the nylon spiral tubing included with this kit.

Note: It is suggested that the switch harness be installed prior to installation of the rudder servo.

Note: Once the servos are installed, check to see if the servos can be moved in the mounts. If the servos can be moved slightly, tighten the servo mounting screws until the servos remain in position.

GYRO/RECEIVER/SWITCH HARNESS/BA TTER Y INST ALLATION

It is suggested that both the receiver and gyro amplifier be isolated from vibration by wrapping them in foam, then securing them to the model using double-sided servo tape.

Be certain when installing the gyro to the gyro mounting plate that it does not come in contact with the frame of the helicopter and that the mounting surfaces are free from oil, residue, etc. Clean if necessary to ensure proper adhesion.

Install the switch harness with the switch plate screws through the round rubber grommets before the servos are installed.

UNDERSTANDING SW ASHPLATE CONTROL SYSTEMS

Currently, there are several different types of control systems available on the market. Although the mechanical methods for

transferring control to the swashplate vary, the different control systems can be broken down into two categories:

One-Servo (Conventional) CCPM (Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing)

The following is an explanation of the two most popular types of swashplate control.

One-Servo Standard Swashplate Control (Conventional Helicopter)

The One-Servo standard system is found in a wide variety of radio controlled helicopters. The term “One-Servo” means that the control system requires one servo to operate each separate swashplate function. With this system, a total of three servos is required to operate the three main swashplate functions, which are aileron (roll), elevator (pitch), and collective functions. With this type of control system, each servo works independently and is assigned to a specific function. In other words, the aileron (roll) servo is assigned to move only the aileron (roll) function, as is the elevator (pitch) servo, etc. Since these servos operate completely independently of each other, the servo torque to each control surface is limited to the maximum torque rating of the servos used.

The One-Servo standard system swashplate is designed so that the lower swashplate ring control balls are spaced at 90° to each other. This system is also most commonly arranged so that the aileron (roll) axis of the swashplate is positioned at 90° to the main mechanics of the helicopter, and the elevator (pitch) axis is parallel to the mechanics. Please refer to the diagram at right for clarification.

With this type of system, it is necessary for the helicopter to be designed using an intermediate mechanical mixing system so that the control inputs can be transferred from the three independent servos to the swashplate in such a manner that the three controls can be achieved. This mechanical mixing system allows the swashplate to both roll (aileron) and pitch (elevator), as well as slide up and down the main rotor shaft for collective pitch inputs. These mechanical mixing systems generally require the use of many ball bearings and control rods to achieve this result.

120 Three-Servo CCPM Swashplate Mixing (Venture 30 CP)

The JR 120° CCPM or Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing, system offers the user a control system that can accomplish the same control inputs as the One-Servo standard system mentioned above, but with increased precision and reduced complexity.

As with the One-Servo system, the JR CCPM system utilizes three servos for the three main controls: aileron (roll), elevator(pitch) and collective. The CCPM lower swashplate ring is designed with only three control balls, spaced at 120° from each other, hence the 120° CCPM designation. Although the control balls are not at 90° as in the standard system, the aileron (roll) axis is still parallel to the main mechanics of the helicopter, and the elevator (pitch) axis still functions at 90° to the mechanics as does the One-Servo system. Please refer to the diagram below for clarification.

The main and important difference in the way that these two systems operate is that unlike the One-Servo system where the three servos work completely independent from each other, the CCPM systems work as a team to achieve the same control inputs. For example, if an aileron (roll) input is given, two servos work together to move the swashplate left and right. If an elevator (pitch) input is given, all three servos work together to move the swashplate fore and aft. For collective, it’s also the strength of three servos that will move the swashplate up and down the main rotor shaft. With two to three servos working at the same time during any given control input, servo torque is maximized and servo centering is also increased. In addition to these benefits, CCPM achieves these control responses without the need for complex mechanical mixing systems that require many more control rods and parts to set up.

This amazing CCPM control is achieved through special CCPM swashplate mixing that is preprogrammed into many of today’s popular radio systems. Since the 120° CCPM function is preprogrammed, CCPM is no more complicated to set up than a conventional one-servo standard system. When you factor in the reduced parts count and easy programming, CCPM is actually easier to set up and operate than many conventional systems.

For JR radio owners, please refer to the radio information contained at the front of this manual or on the following page to determine if your radio system has the CCPM function. For other brands of radio systems, please contact the radio manufacturer for CCPM information. Please note that it is not possible to program a non-CCPM radio system for CCPM operation.

JR 120° Three-Servo CCPM relies on the radio’s special CCPM swashplate mixing, rather than a conventional mechanical mixer that is

utilized to achieve the same results.

The radio’s 120°Three-Servo CCPM function automatically mixes the three servos to provide the correct mixing inputs for aileron

(roll), elevator (pitch), and collective. The following is an example of how each control input affects the servo’s movement:

1. Collective

When a collective pitch input is given, all three servos (A, B, and C) move together in the same direction, at equal amounts, to raise and lower the swashplate while keeping the swashplate level. During this function, all three servos travel at the same value (100%) so that the swashplate can remain level during the increase and decrease in pitch. This mixing of the three servos is achieved through the radio’s CCPM program.

2. Elevator (Pitch)

When an elevator input is given, all three servos must move to tilt the swashplate fore and aft, but their directions vary. The two rear servos (B and C) move together in the same direction, while the front servo (A) moves in the opposite direction. For example, when an up elevator (back cyclic) command is given, the two rear servos (B and C) will move downward, while the front servo (A) moves upward so that the swashplate will tilt aft. During this function, the front servo (A) travels at 100%, while the two rear servos (B and C) travel at 50% (1/2 the travel value) of the front servo. This difference in travel is necessary due to the fact that the position of the front control ball is two times the distance of the two rear control ball position as measured from the center of the swashplate. As mentioned, this mixing of the three servos is also achieved through the radio’s CCPM program.

3. Aileron (Roll)

When an aileron (roll) input is given, the two rear servos (B and C) travel in opposite directions, while the front servo (A) remains motionless. For example, when a left aileron (roll) command is given, the left rear servo (C) will move downward, while the right rear servo (B) will move upward to tilt the swashplate to the left. As mentioned, the front servo (A) will remain motionless. The travel value for each of the two rear servos is 100%.

IMPORT ANT CCPM PROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

It is extremely important that the travel adjustment values for the three CCPM servos (aileron, elevator, AUX1) be initially set to exactly the

same travel value. If the travel value is not similar for each servo, it will create unwanted pitching and rolling of the swashplate during collective pitch inputs. The travel values for each servo will be adjusted in Steps 3-7 and 3-8 to remove any minor pitch and roll coupling during pitch, roll, and collective movements.

Minor travel value adjustments are necessary due to slight variations in servo travel and centering. Although the three servos may appear to

travel at the same amounts in each direction, in reality the servos can vary slightly. This variation is more common in analog type servos. If JR’s new digital servos are used, the travel adjustment values will generally not need to be altered.

It is also extremely important that the servo reversing directions for the three CCPM servos (aileron, elevator, AUX 1) be set as indicated in the previous radio programming steps. If one or more servos is not set to the correct direction, the CCPM function will be out of synchronization, and the three control functions (aileron, elevator, collective) will not move properly. In the event that a control surface is working in the wrong direction, the control function can only be reversed by changing the desired CCPM value for that function from a + to a - value or vise versa.

Example: If, when you increase the collective pitch, the pitch of the main blades actually decreases, it will be necessary to access the CCPM function and change the travel value for this function from + to - or - to +. This will reverse the direction of the collective pitch function without affecting the movement of the aileron and elevator functions.

The JR 120° CCPM system requires the use of three servos to operate, aileron, elevator, and AUX 1(Pitch). The labeling of these servos can become quite confusing because with the CCPM function, the three servos no longer work independently but rather as a team, and their functions are now combined. For this reason, we will refer to the three servos in the following manner:

Aileron Servo: “Left” servo (C); the channel number is CH2 when using a JR radio

Elevator Servo: “Front” servo (A); the channel number is CH3 when using a JR radio

AUX 1 (Pitch) Servo: “Right” servo (B); the channel number is CH6 when using a JR radio

CCPM SERVO ARM PREPARATION AND INST ALLA TION

2x10 mm Flat Head Screw (3)

Steel Joint Ball (3)

2 mm Hex Nut (3)

It will be necessary to prepare three servo arms as shown in the diagram below. Prior to assembling the servo arms, the servos should be centered as indicated below, and the servo arms test fitted to the servo to insure that the arms will attach to the servo as indicated. Since the JR servo arm spline uses an odd number of teeth, it is sometimes possible to rotate the servo arm 180° to achieve a more correct positioning.

Once the best direction for the servo arm has been decided, mark the servo arm with the servo it is to be connected to (F, R, or L), as well as the side of the servo arm that needs to be removed.

It is

very important that a heavy-duty type servo arm be used with the control ball location placed at exactly 20 mm as shown. For JR radio users, we recommend the JRPA215 Heavy-Duty Servo Arms included for this use. If a control ball position other than the specified 20 mm is used, this will create an adverse affect as to the travel of the swashplate, as well as unwanted control differential and interaction.

Prior to attaching the servo arm to the servo, it will be necessary to first turn on the radio system to center each of the three CCPM servos. It is important that the radio’s collective pitch stick be set at the center position. If your radio is equipped with a hover pitch knob, please check to make sure that this knob is also in the center position at this time.

Connect the three servo arms to the three CCPM servos as shown. It is important that the servo arms be positioned parallel to the servos as shown. If the servo arm is not parallel as shown, minor centering adjustments can be made using the radio’s Sub-Trim function. Please refer to Section 3-4 for more information.

CCPM LINKAGE CONNECTION

Attach the three CCPM servo linkages as shown below. It is important that the exact distances specified below be maintained for each linkage as this is critical to the alignment and neutral position of the swashplate. Please also note the direction of the ball links as shown by the “JR Propo” name imprinted on each ball link. “JR Propo” is imprinted on the front of each ball link. When attaching the control rods, it is important to make sure that “JR Propo” faces outward as the links are attached to the control balls.

Please also note that when attaching control linkages B and C, it will be necessary to rotate the link that attaches to the swashplate slightly so that it is parallel to the rear mounting surface of the ball link. This will allow the control linkage to rotate slightly on the two control balls.

Option: For smooth operation, pre-size the ball links with the JR Ball Link Sizing Tool (JRP960219) prior to attachment.

Rotate link slightly so it’s parallel to the rear mounting surface of each control ball.

Rotate link slightly so it’s parallel to the rear mounting surface of the control ball.

Front Servo

After the three control linkages have been attached to the swashplate, it will be necessary to check the swashplate to ensure that it is level. To do this, turn on the radio system and place the collective stick in the center position as before. Next, check to make sure that all trim levers and knobs are also in their center position.

Check to insure that the servo arms are parallel to the servos as adjusted in the previous step. If the servos are not parallel, please refer to the Sub-Trim section on page 26 and re-adjust as necessary. Once it’s determined that the servo arms are parallel to the servos as required, it will now be necessary to check the swashplate to insure that it is also level or neutral in this position.

It is suggested that the swashplate first be checked from the rear of the model to insure that it’s level from left to right. If the swashplate is not level as compared to the frame of the model, adjust either the left or right servo control rod as needed. To determine which rod needs adjustment, it may be helpful to view the swashplate from the left and right side view of the model to determine which side is high or low.

Once this left-to-right adjustment is completed, it will now be necessary to check the fore/aft position of the swashplate to insure that it is also level on this axis. If the swashplate is not level in the fore/aft axis, it is suggested that the adjustment be made to the front servo control linkage as needed. If you are unsure as to which linkage needs adjustment or are having difficulty obtaining the correct adjustment, please check the length of each control rod to insure that it is adjusted to the correct length as outlined in Step 3-5.

Note: If care was taken in the linkage attachment in Step 3-5, little or no adjustment should be required in this step. Only minor

adjustments should be made to the lengths of the control linkages at this time. Any major adjustments indicates either incorrect

linkage lengths or incorrect servo arm positioning. If the control linkage lengths are altered from the recommended lengths more

that one or two turns, this will have a great effect on the range and settings of the collective pitch in later steps.

ADVANCED SETUP: PITCH-TO-AILERON MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST (OPTIONAL)

It is very possible that the travel of each servo varies slightly, which can cause the swashplate to be tilted to the left or right when the collective is moved to the extreme high and low pitch positions. This condition is generally more common when standard type servos are used. If JR digital servos are used, the adjustment required is generally very small, if any. These variations in travel can be corrected by altering the travel value of each servo slightly through the TravelAdjustment function.

To check the pitch-to-aileron mixing, it will first be necessary to position the collective stick in the center position as in the previous steps. Next, move the collective stick from the center position to the high pitch position while viewing the swashplate from the rear of the model as shown in the diagram below. While moving the swashplate, look for any tendency for the swashplate to roll to the left or right as it reaches the high pitch position. Repeat this procedure several times to be sure that your observations are correct. If no rolling tendency is found, it will now be necessary to repeat this procedure from the center collective stick position to full low pitch. If no rolling tendency is found, proceed to Step 3-8.

In our example, we have shown that the swashplate has been tilted to the right as the collective has been increased to full pitch. This would indicate that the left servo’s maximum travel is greater than the right servo’s maximum travel.

In this condition, we suggest that the travel value for the left servo be reduced slightly (5–10%). Repeat the procedure above. If the same condition occurs, but to a lesser degree, then the travel value of the right servo should be increased slightly and retest. In most cases, it will require only the adjustment of the left or right servo to correct this situation.

For information on the Travel Adjustment function, please refer to your radio instruction manual for details. Once this condition has been corrected, repeat this procedure for the center to low collective pitch position and adjust as needed.

Beginners can proceed to step 3-9.

View is shown from the rear of the model. Notice how in this example, the swashplate has tilted to the right as the collective has moved from center to full high pitch position.

ADVANCED SETUP: PITCH-TO-ELEVATOR MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST (OPTIONAL)

The total travel of each servo can vary slightly, which can also cause the swashplate to be tilted fore and aft when the collective is moved

to the extreme high and low pitch positions. This situation can also be corrected if necessary through the use of the Travel Adjustment function.

To check pitch-to-elevator mixing, it will first be necessary to position the collective stick in the center position as in the previous steps. Next, move the collective stick from the center to the high pitch position while viewing the swashplate from the left side of the model. While moving the swashplate, look for any tendencies for the swashplate to tilt fore or aft as it reaches the high pitch positions. Repeat this procedure several times to be sure that your observations are correct. If no fore or aft tilting tendencies are found, it will now be necessary to repeat this procedure from the center collective stick position to full low pitch. If no tilting tendency is found, proceed to the next step.

In our example, we have shown that the swashplate has be tilted forward as the collective has been increased to full high pitch. This would indicate that the front servo’s maximum travel is now more than that of the two rear servos (left and right).

In this condition, we suggest that the travel value for the front servo be increased slightly (5–10%). Repeat the above procedure and increase the value as needed until the tilting tendency is eliminated.

Note: It is very important that during this step, only the travel value for the front servo (elevator) be adjusted to correct any pitch-toelevator tendencies. If the travel value of the left or right servo changes, this will affect the pitch-to-aileron tendencies corrected in the previous step. If you feel that readjustment of the left and right servo travel is necessary, then it is suggested that the travel for each servo be increased or decreased at the same amount, and the pitch-to-aileron procedure be re-tested.

Beginners can proceed to step 3-9.

View is shown from the left side of the model. Notice how in this example the swashplate has tilted forward as the collective has moved from the center to the full high pitch position.

TAIL CONTROL ROD SERVO CONNECTION

Use Blue Threadlock

Note: Check to ensure the tail control rod can slide through the tail control rod guides smoothly before connecting it to the servo. If resistance is felt, rotate the tail control rod guides slightly until the control rod slides smoothly. Once the system is adjusted to move freely, it is suggested that a small amount of CA adhesive glue be applied to secure each tail control rod guide to the tail boom in the proper location.

Adjust the length of the tail control rod by turning the universal link until both of them are at 90° as shown below.

Please refer to your gyro’s instructions for recommended distance.

Note: The 4th HD servo arm included in the kit can be used for the rudder servo.

1/2 Stick (Throttle) Position

(Throttle Barrel 1/2 open)

Low Stick (Throttle) Position (Throttle Barrel Fully Closed)

High Stick (Throttle) Position

(Throttle Barrel Fully Open)

To achieve the correct position of the throttle/servo arm, it may be necessary to re-position the throttle arm on the carburetor and to adjust the length of the throttle linkage slightly to achieve full open and closed positions of the carburetor.

It is also possible to increase/reduce the travel of the throttle servo through

the Travel Adjust function found in most computer radio systems. If this function is used, make sure the values for the high and low positions remain equal (same value for high/low). If these values are not equal, this will create a differential or uneven movement of the throttle, making rotor rpm adjustment and fine tuning more difficult.

Firmly secure the main rotor blades to the rotor head as shown above. Be certain to note the proper direction of the rotor blades when assembling (clockwise rotation). Main blades should be tightened so they can pivot when moderate pressure is applied. Do not allow the main blades to swing freely within the main blade holders.

Spanwise C.G. Balancing

Place each rotor blade on a sharp edge of a table as shown and adjust so each rotor blade “teeters” on the edge of the table. If the blades are correctly balanced, they should be at an equal distance to the edge of the table. If they are not, apply tape to the center of the light or short blade until equal distance can be achieved.

Final Static Balancing

To static balance the main rotor blades, either attach each blade to a “seesaw” type Blade Balancer (KSJ528) or bolt each of the two blades together through the blade mounting holes shown and suspend this unit between two drinking glasses. Add blade tracking tape (from decal sheet) to the tip of the light or high blade until they each become level to the table surface.

FINAL SERVO ADJUSTMENT AND RADIO SETUP

Now that the radio system is completely installed into the helicopter , it is necessary to check and adjust the following:

1. Servo Direction (Servo Reversing)

Check to insure that all servos have been set to the correct direction as shown in programming section, pages 20-22.

2. Dual Rates

It is suggested that for initial flights the Dual Rate function values be set as follows:

0 Position (low rate): 90% 1 Position (high rate): 100%

3. Exponential Settings

It is suggested that the exponential rate settings remain in the 0 value position until the initial test flights. After initial flights, adjust the exponential values to achieve the desired control feel.

4. Sub-T rim Settings

It is suggested that the correct neutral settings be achieved without the use of the sub-trim feature. If sub-trim is used for final flight adjustments, it is suggested that the sub-trim values not exceed 20. If the sub-trim values are greater , readjust the control linkages and reset the sub-trims to 0.

5. Pitch/Throttle Curve Adjustment

It is very important that the throttle and pitch curves are adjusted properly to achieve the best performance from your helicopter. When properly adjusted, the main rotor head rpm should remain consistent throughout all maneuvers and throttle stick positions. A constant rpm will also help to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the tail rotor and gyro systems.

A. Pitch Curve Adjustment

It will now be necessary to adjust the main rotor blade pitch to match the settings shown in the chart. A main rotor blade pitch gauge (sold separately) will be necessary for this procedure. Prior to setting the main rotor blade pitch, it will be necessary to first set the required blade pitch at 1/2 (center) stick. T urn the system on and set the collective pitch stick to the center position as in previous steps. If all linkages are properly adjusted, the swashplate/rotor head system should appear as shown in the diagram below. Please note that at the center pitch position, the seesaw mixing arms located on the rotor head are parallel (level) to the seesaw shaft/flybar assembly.

Venture™50 Standard Flight

Once the position of the seesaw mixing arms have been established, attach a main rotor pitch gauge (sold separately) to one rotor blade and check the current pitch setting. The current pitch should be approximately +5 at center stick. If the pitch is slightly less or more, this can be adjusted later through the radio’s Pitch Curve function. Attach the pitch gauge to the second main rotor blade and match the pitch at this time.

Venture 50 3D Flight

Once the position of the seesaw mixing arms has been established, attach a main rotor pitch gauge (sold separately) to one rotor blade and check the current pitch setting. Adjust the pitch to the desired setting (0° pitch at center stick) by adjusting the seesaw mixing arm to the main blade holder control rods as shown is Step 4-5. Attach the pitch gauge to the second main rotor blade and match the pitch at this time.

It will now be necessary to establish the maximum pitch value required for your application prior to adjustment. For example, if you are a beginning pilot, then your maximum negative pitch will be -5, and your maximum positive pitch will be +10. The maximum pitch range that you will require will be 15°. If you are a 3D pilot flying the Venture, then your maximum negative pitch will be -10, and your maximum positive pitch will be +10 (+13 for autorotations). The maximum pitch range that you will require will be 23°.

The maximum pitch range mentioned above must be established through the use of the pitch travel value in the CCPM function. Do not try to establish the maximum pitch curve values through adjustment of the Travel Adjustment function, as this will alter the pitch-to-aileron and pitch-to-elevator travel values established in Steps 3-7 and 3-8. Please refer to the CCPM activation section, pages 20-22, for information on how to access the CCPM function.

Once the CCPM function has been activated, set the maximum positive pitch settings as mentioned above. Since the CCPM function does not allow for independent travel settings for positive and negative pitch, it will be necessary to establish the maximum positive pitch, since this is generally the largest degree of pitch in the pitch range. Once the maximum positive pitch range is set, the maximum negative Pitch range can be reduced as needed through the Pitch Curve function.

Set the main rotor pitch gauge to the desired maximum pitch setting, then increase or decrease the CCPM pitch travel (labeled Pitch or Ch6) as needed until this pitch setting is achieved.

Once this procedure has been completed, the positive and negative pitch settings for each flight mode can be adjusted through the radio’s Pitch Curve function. Please refer to your radio’s instruction manual for more information.

B. Throttle Curve Settings

Below are several examples of possible throttle curves during various flight conditions. Since throttle curves can vary greatly due to engine and muffler combinations, it will be necessary to fine tune and adjust these values during test flights to achieve a constant main rotor rpm.

It will also be necessary to set the correct idle speed of the engine when the Throttle Hold function is activated. This idle value is located within the Throttle Hold function. This will allow the engine to remain at idle when practicing autorotations.

6. Gyro Gain Adjustment (Dual Remote Gain Gyros only)

It will be necessary to adjust the “gain” or compensation of the gyro to create the correct amount of “holding power” necessary for a solid neutral tail rotor . The intent of the gyro is to compensate for abrupt movements, or wind direction changes.

For hovering, it is recommended that you start with the gyro gain at approximately 80° and continue to increase slightly until the tail of the helicopter “hunts,” then reduce the value slightly.

This same adjustment will also be necessary to achieve proper forward flight. Generally, the gyro gain for forward flight will be approximately 10%–20% less than that of the established hover gain due to aerodynamic forces present in forward flight. We have recommended a 60% value as a good starting position.

7. Verifying Gyro Direction

It will also be necessary to confirm the direction the gyro compensates when the body of the helicopter is rotated.

To do this, turn the radio system on and suspend the helicopter by the main rotor head. Next, move the rudder stick to the right and watch the direction that the tail rotor servo arm travels. Now while watching the tail rotor servo arm, rotate the body of the helicopter counterclockwise. The servo arm should move in the same direction as when the rudder stick was moved to the left. If the arm moves in the opposite direction, reverse the gyro and re-test.

Once all assemblies have been completed, please review the following

suggestions before attempting initial flights.

• Review the instruction book and confirm that all assembly steps have been completed thoroughly.

• Verify that the tail rotor assembly rotates in the correct direction (see the diagram below).

• Verify that the gyro is operational and compensating in the correct direction (detailed in Step 8, page 49).

• Insure that all servos are operating smoothly and in the correct direction. Also verify that there is no binding in the control rods and that each servo horn is secured with a servo horn mounting screw.

• Make sure that both the transmitter and receiver have been fully charged (refer to your radio system instructions for proper charging procedures).

• Insure that the throttle is working properly and in the correct direction.

FINAL PREFLIGHT CHECK

Correct Main/Tail Rotor Rotation Direction

BLADE TRACKING IDENTIFICATION

A: Use two different blade tracking tape colors (e.g., black and red) at

the tip of each main rotor blade.

B: Use the same color blade tracking tape located at different

positions on each rotor blade.

Note: Adding additional blade tracking tape to the rotor blades at this stage will make it necessary to re-static balance the main rotor blades.

BLADE TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

Blade tracking is an adjustment to the main rotor blade pitch that must be accomplished during the initial test flights. Although the blade pitch angle in each blade may appear equal, it is still possible for a set of main rotor blades to run “out of track,” making adjustment necessary. Main rotor blades that are out of track with one another can cause vibration, instability, and a loss of power due to additional drag.

On the initial flight, it will be necessary to increase the blade speed to just before lift-off rpm and view the rotor disc at eye level from a safe distance (approximately 15 to 20 feet).

Note which blade is running low (by colored tracking tape) and increase the pitch of the low blade one turn of the ball link at a time until each blade runs in track (on the same plane).

Please refer to the diagrams below to identify the different tracking situations, as well as several methods to mark each rotor blade for tracking identification.

Flight Training

Flight Simulators

A model helicopter simulator is highly recommended and is an excellent training aid. Simulators like the CSM V10 will help you learn the orientation and inputs needed to fly a model helicopter, without the risk of damaging your model to learn these same reactions. In general, most beginning pilots find that using an RC simulator prior to their first actual flights with their model increase the speed in which they learn, and also decrease the number of crashes associated with learning to fly. Even the most experienced Heli pilots continue to practice with a flight simulator to learn new maneuvers and stick inputs prior to trying these maneuvers with their actual models.

Training Gear

Before you commence, it is also highly recommended that you first purchase and install helicopter flight training gear to your Venture to prevent accidental prior to tracking the blades, or attempting to fly the model.

Experienced Help

It is also highly recommended if possible that you seek help from an experienced RC helicopter pilot prior to your first flights. Contact your local hobby shop for more information on clubs and pilots in your area.

Where to Fly

It is recommended that for your first flights, you locate a large smooth parking lot or paved surface that is in a private setting. The training gear will allow the model to slide smoothly on a flat hard surface, which will reduce the risk of tipovers while learning. A smooth grass surface will also work if it is not possible to locate a large parking lot, however the training gear will have a tendency to catch in the grass which increases the possibility of a tip over.

When to Fly

For your first flights, it is recommended that you chose a day with calm or no wind as the model will be much easier to control without the additional wind factor. Generally, you will want to pick a day where the wind is below 5 mph if possible for the best results. Please also note that the model should always be positioned nose into the wind for the best results.

Basic Hover Training Practices

Once you have properly tracked the main rotor blades and have tuned the engine as needed, it is now time to move on to the initial flight training practices listed below.

Ground Skating

The first step towards learning to fly is ground skating. The model should be positioned nose into the wind, and the pilots should be located approx-imately 15-20 feet behind the model, and slightly to the left or right. The tail of the model should always face towards the pilot during these initial flight practices. To start ground skating, simply increase the throttle slowly until the model starts to become light in the training skids. Next, move the cyclic stick forward slightly; the model should slide forward. Begin to skate the model slowly to the left, right, forward and backwards gently until you become familiar with the stick inputs. Once you have become comfortable with this, you can also practice rotating the model to the left and right using the rudder stick. Be careful when doing this; if the model rotates the nose towards you, the cyclic controls will be reversed.

Short Stationary Hovering

Once you have become comfortable with grounds skating, your next step is to try to perform a short stationary hover. To do this, increase the throttle slowly until the model starts to lift from the ground. When the model is 1 foot from the ground, gently reduce the throttle so that the model will settle back down gently. Continue this procedure, and try to increase the time that the model remains airborne.It is important that you keep the model within 3 feet of the ground while performing this exercise, as this will prevent an accidental tip over.

Long Stationary Hovering

Once you have become comfortable with the short stationary hover, the next step is to try to increase the length of time that you are able to keep the model in stationary hover. Continue to practice this exercise until you are able to keep the model in a stationary hover for a full tank of fuel.

Traveling Hover

Once you have become comfortable with the long stationary hover, the next step is to try to perform a traveling hover. To do this, lift the model into a stationary hover approximately 1 foot from the ground. Next, move the cyclic stick forward gently, the model will start moving forward. Once the model has traveled 10–15 feet, gently pull back on the cyclic stick until the model returns to stationary hover. Next, gently move the cyclic stick backwards until the model returns to its original position in stationary hover. Repeat this exercise for left and right cyclic as well.

Once you have completed these exercises, you are well on your way to learning to Hover. Please seek advise from an experienced heli pilot in your area on flight progression from this stage forward.

ADVICE AND BASIC HOVER TRAINING PRACTICES

Page 52

Engine

After each day of flying, fully drain the fuel tank. Then, start the engine and let it idle until the engine and the fuel line are completely burned

off. It is also suggested that an after-run oil be used to prevent premature engine corrosion.

Tail Rotor Belt

Periodically check the tension on the tail drive belt (as shown in Step 1-2, page 8) to insure that it has sufficient tension for proper

engagement. It is especially important to check this after initial test flights.

Check All Nuts and Bolts

A helicopter is subject to high vibration during flight. It is important to check that all screws, nuts, and bolts are properly secured after each

day of flying. It is also suggested that you perform a “quick” inspection between each initial test flight for approximately the first 6–10 flights.

Check Ball Link Wear

Check to insure that all universal links fit freely but securely to the control balls. If there is excessive play noted, replace the universal link

in question.

Battery Maintenance

Check to insure that your batteries are properly mounted and charged. The most frequent cause of crashes (aside from pilot error) is battery failure or disconnection. Be certain that your batteries are fully charged and limit your flight time to 3 or 4 flights between charging. If more flight time is required, purchase a reliable quick field charger.

Cleaning

At the end of each flight or flying session, wipe down your helicopter with a clean towel or rag. This is also a good time to inspect all parts for tightness or fatigue. A clean, well-maintained helicopter will provide you with many hours of trouble-free flight.

SWASHPLATE ASSEMBL Y

Swashplate Adjustment

The 120° CCPM swashplate is adjustable via the 3–4x4 mm set screws. If excessive play is found in the test above, gently tighten each of the 3–4 mm set screws the same amount and re-test. The swashplate should move freely, but without notable play.

Caution: If the 3–4 mm set screws are over tightened, damage to the swashplate bearings can occur .

While holding the inside ball race, pivot the swashplate and check for excessive play. Adjust as necessary.
