INTRODUCTION
The Wait is Over!
Congratulations on your purchase of the new JR
®
Vigor CS helicopter kit. The
Vigor CS, designed by 2-time World Champion and 12-time U.S. Nationals
Champion Curtis Youngblood, in conjunction with JR engineers, has been in
development for nearly 4 years and thousands of test flights, to bring you a model
that sets the new standard for others to be judged.
Designed By a Champion To Be a Champion
The Vigor CS was designed by Curtis with rigidity, durability, and simplicity in
mind. The Vigor CS’s unique main frame design utilizes two straight carbon fiber
frame plates and achieves its unmatched strength and rigidity through the use of
internal “I” beam supports, rather than the engine. This results in a very simple,
yet highly rigid frame that eliminates any unwanted loads from being applied to
the engine during flight.
In addition to the Vigor CS’s unique frame, the cooling system has also been
designed from the ground up by Curtis through countless hours of engine cooling
fan efficiency testing. The end result is a cooling system that provides double the
airflow of a conventional cooling system, with no increase in power consumption.
This system will allow the engine to run more consistently, and at a more
consistent temperature.
Low Parts Count Means Quick Assembly
You will find that your Vigor CS will assemble very quickly due to its wellthought-out/straight-forward design, low parts count, and preassembled main
rotor head, washout unit, and tail pitch slider assemblies. The building time for
the Vigor CS usually takes only 10–12 hours from start to finish.
CCPM Control System
Curtis and the JR engineers have taken the CCPM one step further. The Vigor CS
can be set up with the normal 120-degree CCPM system that is supported in most
of today's modern computer helicopter radio systems. Curtis has devised a new
CCPM configuration. CCPM 140 places the ball links on the swashplate 140º
back from the forward ball, then the rear balls are extended, placing them the
same for to aft distance from the center of the mainshaft as the front ball. The
main advantage is that all three servos going to the swashplate now have the same
throw. With conventional 120 CCPM, the throws to the forward servos must be
reduced with radio programming by 50%. This causes the longer-throwing servos
to lag behind the shorter-throwing servo during quick cyclic inputs.
Team Tips
Throughout the sections of this instruction manual, you will find dozens of
“Team Tips.” These tips have been provided by Team JR’s Curtis Youngblood
and Len Sabato to guide you through the assembly of your Vigor CS with helpful
tips and suggestions that will help you get the most from your new JR Vigor CS
from the first flight.

PREASSEMBLY INFORMATION
When first opening your Vigor CS kit, you will notice that all of the parts are
packaged and numbered to coordinate with the assembly step numbers of this
instruction manual.
All small hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) for each step are separated and
packaged separately within the main parts bags. When beginning a section, you
will need to open only the bag with the corresponding number to the section you
are going to start. 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. At the end of each assembly, in most cases, there should be
no parts remaining.
NOTE: Your kit also includes JR red and green threadlock. Unlike conventional
U.S.-made threadlock, JR red is actually the U.S. equivalent of blue. JR green is
actually the equivalent of U.S. red.
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 contact the Horizon Service
Center directly.
Most current JR heli radio systems (XP652,
XP8103 w/digital trims, 10X, as well as older 10
series systems) are equipped with 120° CCPM
electronics for use with JR CCPM machines.
Radios you may be flying now, like the X347,
X388S, XP783, and XP8103*, have 120° CCPM
capability built in but require activiation by the
Horizon Service Department. For details, please
call (217) 355-9511.
*Please note that many XP8103 systems have the CCPM
function already activated. Please check with the Horizon
Service Center for details.

Once the engine has been installed, adjust the gear mesh of
the main pinion so that a slight amount of “backlash” is
achieved. One method for achieving the proper clearance is to
insert a folded piece of paper between the two gears, press the
gears together, then secure the bearing blocks in place. When
setting the gear mesh, make sure that the pinion gear remains
parallel to the main drive gear teeth, as it is possible to alter the
pinion gear angle during adjustment.
If you find difficulty achieving proper alignment of the
pinion, it is also possible to loosen the six bolts that attach the
engine mount to the main frame. This will allow the engine/
mount to be repositioned to achieve the proper gear mesh.
Once the desired gear mesh has been achieved, tighten all
loose bolts from Step 2-1. Please remember to use thread-lock
on the bolts securing the upper start shaft pinion block.
Please also remember to apply threadlock and tighten the
two 3 x 14 mm socket head bolts that connect bearing block
“A” to bearing block “B” . (see Step 1-1 for details).

TEAM TIP: Once the gear mesh/engine alignment
has been established, rotate the start shaft assembly
first counterclockwise, then clockwise. When moved
clockwise, the start shaft assembly should move
freely with little or no resistance. If resistance is
present, the clutch/start shaft assembly are not
aligned properly. Readjust as necessary.

TEAM TIP: The JR ball links are designed with little
ridges around the lip of the link. These ridges, in
conjunction with the JR ball link sizing tool, are there
to help you custom fit the link to the ball. If the link
fits on the ball too tight, you can use the reaming tool
to enlarge the link hole size. If the link fits too loose
on the ball, you can push in on the ridges on the link
with a small pair of pliers. This reduces the size of the
link hole and makes the link fit tighter. JR links are
some of the best links available. It is important to note
that very little force is needed on the ridges to resize
the link. Using pliers on any other part of the link can
cause the links to break.

TEAM TIP: After many flights there

the balls.
Caution:
Please note that all universal
links should be adjusted so that
when attached to the control
ball, the words “JR PROPO”
are to the outside.
Note: The seesaw mixing arms included
with the Vigor are designed to offer a
pitch range of approx. 20° (+11°, -9°).
If additional pitch range is required,
it is possible to replace these arms with
part #JRP960178B. These arms will
provide a total pitch range of 23°
(+13°, -10°). Please note that these
optional mixing arms will also increase
the “Bell” movement of the Rotor
Head, which will alter the flight
characteristics slightly. Also note
that if these optional arms
are used, the overall pitch and travel
values may vary from that shown
in the data sheets included
in this manual (page 53).

BEVEL GEAR MESH ADJUSTMENT
Before tightening of the 4 tail
boom mounting clamp bolts, it
will be necessary to set the bevel
gear to bevel pinion gear mesh by
raising or lowering the tail boom
assembly.
To set the proper mesh, insert
1 thickness of paper (the same
thickness as the pages of this
manual) between the 2 bevel
gears.
Next, push the tail boom assembly
down so that there is no gear
backlash with the paper in place.
Tighten the 4 tail boom mounting
bolts. Next, remove the thickness
of paper and check the gear
mesh. There should be a very
slight amount of backlash. If the
backlash seems too much, repeat
this procedure using thinner
paper. If backlash can't be
detected, double the paper
thickness and retest.

The following preparations are suggested for use with JR
®
radio systems. However, these procedures are applicable to most other
brand radio systems. These suggested adjustments are necessary to insure correct installation and attachment of the control linkages
and servo horns.
TRANSMITTER PREPARATION
RECEIVER FLIGHT PACK PREPARATION
SERVO HORN INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
1. Set all trim levers, knobs, and switches to the neutral or
zero positions.
2. Turn the transmitter power switch to the On position.
3. Reset all functions and input values of your computer
radio system to the factory preset position.
4. Move the throttle/collective control stick to the center or half
stick position. Next slide the throttle trim lever to the full low
position.
1. With the transmitter still on, slide the receiver switch to its
On position. All servos should move to the neutral or
center position.
2. Check that all servos operate with the appropriate
control stick.
3. Rest the throttle stick to the center position, making sure
the throttle trim is still at low.
4. Turn off the receiver switch first, followed by the transmitter.
For proper operation, it’s important that the servo horns are
positioned on the servos in the “exact” neutral position. Although
most computer radio systems offer a sub-trim feature, it is
suggested that the servo horns be manipulated on the servos to
achieve the “exact” neutral settings.
Since the servo output spline on a JR system has an odd number
of teeth (21), it’s possible to reposition the servo arm on the servo
at 90° intervals to achieve the proper neutral attachment of the
servo horn.
Once the correct arm of the servo horn has been established,
it’s suggested that the remaining unused arms be removed from
the servo horn as shown in the installation diagrams in the
following section.
It will also be necessary to enlarge the appropriate hole in the servo
horn slightly to allow correct installation of the steel control balls to
the servo horn.

120/140 3-SERVO CCPM SWASHPLATE MIXING
The JR®120°/140° CCPM or Cyclic/Collective Pitch Mixing system offers the user a control system that can accomplish the
same control inputs as a one servo standard system, 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° or
140° from each other, hence the 120°/140° 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 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 or 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° and 140° 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 pages 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.

The JR 120°/140° 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° or 140° 3-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. As mentioned,
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 front servos (B and C) move together in the same
direction, while the top servo (A) moves in the opposite
direction. For example, when a down elevator (forward cyclic)
command is given, the two front servos (B and C) will move
rearward, while the top servo (A) moves foreward so that the
swashplate will tilt forward. During this function with 120°
CCPM, the top servo (A) travels at 100%, while the two front
servos (B and C) travel at 50% (1/2the travel value) of the top
servo. This difference in travel is necessary due to the fact that
the position of the 120 CCPM rear control ball is two times
the distance of the two front control ball position as measured
from the center of the swashplate. With 140° CCPM selected,
all three servos travel at 100%, eliminating elevator trim
changes during quick collective inputs. This mixing of the
three servos is also achieved through the 140° CCPM program
only found in JR 10X systems.
3. AILERON (ROLL)
When an aileron (roll) input is given, the two front servos
(B and C) travel in opposite directions, while the top servo (A)
remains motionless. For example, when a right aileron (roll)
command is given, the left front servo (C) will move forward,
while the right front servo (B) will move backward to tilt the
swashplate to the right. As mentioned, the top servo (A) will
remain motionless. The travel value for each of the two rear
servos is 100%.

IMPORTANT CCPM PROGRAMMING DOS AND DON’TS
It is extremely important that the travel adjustment values for the three CCPM servos (aileron, elevator, Aux 1) 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 Step 7.8 and Step 7.9 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.
A. TRAVEL ADJUST
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 upcoming 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°/140° 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:
Elevator Servo: We will refer to this servo as the “Top” servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH3.
Aileron Servo: We will refer to this servo as the “Right Front” servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH2.
Aux 1 (Pitch) Servo: We will refer to this servo as the “Left Front” servo. The channel number for this servo when using a JR radio is CH6.
Please refer to the CCPM connections chart below for clarification. For non-JR radios, please consult your radio instructions for
proper connection.

Red
Use Red
Threadlock
JR HD Servo Wheels or equivalent will be required for this step (JRPA216, not included)
Before trimming the servo horns as shown, it is first suggested that these horns be test fit to the servo to achieve the
correct positioning. JR servos utilize a 21 spline output shaft, which allows the position of the servo arm to be varied
when rotated at 180-degree intervals.
To test fit the servo horns, turn the radio system on, and set the collective stick to the center position.
Next, test fit the servo arms at 180-degree intervals to find the direction that will allow the horn to be positioned as close
to the vertical position (90 degrees from the servo case) as possible as shown in the diagram. This will reduce the amount
of sub trim needed to bring the servo horns to the exact 90-degree position as shown.
Once the position for each horn has been established, mark the servo arms for trimming, while also noting the servo
that they have been fitted to (A, B, or C).
Trim the servo horns as shown and attach the steel control balls in the desired hole locations.
Reattach the servo horns to the servos, remembering to secure the horns to the servos using the servo horn screw. Final
sub trimming of the servos will be performed in the proceeding Section 7-2.

To achieve the correct position of the throttle/servo arm, it may be necessary
to re-position the throttle arm on the carburetor. It may also be necessary to
adjust the length of the throttle linkage slightly to achieve full open and
closed positions of the carburetor.
Throttle Travel Adjustment (Initial Setup Only) 10 Series & Other Systems
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, it will create
a differential, or uneven movement of the throttle, making rotor rpm
adjustment and fine tuning more difficult.
Throttle Travel Adjustment (Full 3D Setup) with 8103 Systems
When setting up your throttle linkage for cyclic to throttle mixing with
many radio systems, it will be necessary to make any adjustment in the
throttle travel limits by mechanical means only. Move the control linkage in
or out on the servo/throttle arms until the correct barrel travel is achieved.
Please note that it is very important the ATV (travel volume) for both the
high and low throttle setting remain at their maximum values (150%) to
prevent over-travel and binding of the throttle linkage when cyclic to throttle
mixing is used.
For initial cyclic to throttle mixing value information, please refer to the JR
8103 and PCM10X series data sheets located on pages 73-77 of this manual.
Please note that the values and mixing channels shown are universal to most
radio systems currently available.

Mixing Value Adjustment
Please note that it will be necessary to determine if the desired mixing

To verify the proper direction, move the control surface in each direction
while watching the throttle arm. Throttle should increase each time a control
surface input is given. Adjust the + or - value as necessary until the proper
mix is achieved.
Also check to confirm that the throttle travel is correct and is not causing a
bind in the control linkage after the cyclic mixing has been added.
*To avoid differential throttle travel, make certain both the throttle arm and the servo horn are positioned as shown in the above diagrams.

After the control linkages have been attached to the
swashplate, it will be necessary to check the swashplate to
insure 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 7-2 and readjust
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 rods 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 by slightly
repositioning the elevator control arm on the elevator a-arm
assembly, or adjusting both front servo control rods.
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 5-3.
Check to insure that the
swashplate is level on the left/right axis.
Note:
If care was taken in the linkage assembly in Steps 4-6 and
7-3, 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.
Page 58

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 travel adjustment 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 7-9.
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. The travel value of the right servo
should be increased slightly and retested. In most cases, it will require only the adjustment of the left or right
servo to correct this situation.
View is shown from the rear of the model. Notice how the
swashplate has tilted to the right as the collective has moved
from center to full high pitch position.

corrected, repeat this procedure for

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 tilted forward as the collective has been increased to full
high pitch. This would indicate that the top servo’s maximum travel is more than that of the two left/right servos.
In this condition, we suggest that the travel value for the top servo be decreased slightly (5–10%). Repeat the
above procedure and decrease the value as needed until the tilting tendency is eliminated. For information on the
travel adjustment function, please refer to your radio’s 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.
Note: It is very important that during this step, only the travel value for the top servo (elevator) be adjusted to
correct any pitch-to-elevator 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 retested.
View is shown from the left side of the
model. Notice how the swashplate has

PITCH-TO-ELEVATOR MIXING ADJUSTMENT WITH TRAVEL ADJUST
Page 60
Now that the radio system is completely installed into the helicopter, it’s
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 the Control Linkage Installation section.
2. Dual Rates
It’s 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’s 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-Trim Settings
It’s suggested that the correct neutral settings be achieved without the
use of the Sub-Trim function, as this will affect the neutral position of the
servos. Adjust the cyclic trim using the control rods until a neutral hover
is achieved.
5. Pitch/Throttle Curve Adjustment
It is very important 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. Aconstant rpm will also help to
improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the tail rotor and gyro systems.
A) Pitch Curve
It will now be necessary to establish the maximum pitch
value required for your application prior to adjustment. For
example, if you are a 3D pilot, then your maximum negative
pitch will be -10, and your maximum positive pitch will be +11.
The maximum pitch range that you will require will be 21° total.
The maximum pitch range mentioned above must be
established through the use of the pitch travel value in the CCPM
function. As mentioned previously, 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 7-8 and 7-9.
Please refer to the CCPM activation section (page 46) 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.
It will be necessary to adjust the revolution mixing to properly
compensate for the torque of the engine during all flight conditions
(except autorotation) if an on tail lock/heading lock gyros is used.
Since there are many variables that can alter the value of the
revolution mixing (engine, blade pitch, fuel, etc.), it will be necessary
to fine tune this function during test flights.
The following values are shown only as a starting point toward achieving
proper compensation:
Flight Mode N Flight Mode 1 Flight Mode 2 (3D)
Up 40Up 15 Up 15
Down 20Down 10Down 15
7. Gyro Gain Adjustment (All Gyros)
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, working in conjunction with the Revolution Mixing
Function (non-heading lock gyros).
For hovering, it’s 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. This variance depends greatly on the specific gyro used.
If you are using a dual rate gyro, adjust the gain so you are using the “higher”
gain setting for hover and the “lower” gain setting for forward flight.
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.
Note:The throttle curve examples shown correspond to
the pitch curve examples show in Step 5 on the
previous page.

Check to insure the body does not come in contact with any portion of the main frame, muffler, servo, servo horns, etc. Trim for
clearance if necessary. Trim and remove a small portion of the canopy shown in the circle above as it is very close to the
cooling fan shroud (left side only).
CANOPY PREPARATION AND PAINTING
Before sanding or painting the canopy, it is first suggested that the canopy be cleaned using Lacquer thinner, or rubbing
alcohol to remove any mold release agent that may still be present on the canopy.
Lightly sand the entire canopy using 180 to 220 grit sandpaper or "Scotchbrite" sanding material so that all areas of the
canopy have a dull appearance.
Clean the canopy again using rubbing alcohol to remove all sanding dust.
Apply a coating of primer to the canopy. Many modelers use a lacquer based automotive primer available in most automotive
supply stores.
Once the primer dries, check the canopy for any pinholes that may exist. These pinholes can be spot filled using either an
automotive "Glazing" putty, or a special pinhole filler like BVM (Bob Violett Models) BVM1925 pinhole filler.
Sand the spot filler and apply a fresh coat of primer. Repeat the filling procedure as needed until all of the pinholes have been
filled.
Clean the canopy again to remove any sanding dust and apply your favorite brand of Fuel Proof paint. Many pilots also use an
automotive based paint for color coats, although the automotive paint will need to be sealed using a fuel proof clear coat.
For a quick and attractive paint job, Goldberg Ultra Paint will also work well and is fuel proof for up to 15% nitro (direct
fuel contact).
Once the canopy has been painted to the desired finish, apply the decals to the canopy as shown in the following pages.

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.
•Check to 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.
•Check to insure that all bolts and screws have been completely tightened
and secured with threadlock where indicated.
•Verify that the gyro is operational and compensating in the correct
direction (detailed in Section 7, page 61).
•Make sure that both the transmitter and receiver have been fully
charged (refer to your radio system instructions for proper charging
procedures).
•Check to insure that the throttle is working properly and in the correct
direction.

FINAL PREFLIGHT CHECK
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 Labeling for Tracking Purposes
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.

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.
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 to 10 flights.
Main Rotor Head
It will be necessary for the main rotor head dampners to be checked/and or
replaced every 30–50 flights to maintain maximum rotor head performance.
When replacing the main rotor head dampners, apply a light coating of oil to the
dampners to prolong life.
It is also suggested at this time that the rotor head thrust bearings be
lubricated using a high speed grease. This will prolong the visibility of the thrust
bearings.
Tail Gear Case
The tail gear case should be repacked with grease every 50 or so flights. the
tail pitch slider and mechanism should be oiled lightly every 5–10 flights to help
reduce wear.
Washout Base
Lubricate the washout base using light oil every 10–15 flights to insure
smooth operating and reduce wear. Inspect the washout base every 50–75 flights.
If excess wear is noted, replace as needed.
Tail Pitch Slider
Lubricate the tail pitch slider using light oil every 5–10 flights to insure
smooth operation and reduce wear.
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, adjust and or 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. Remember, a clean, well-maintained helicopter will provide you with
many hours of trouble-free flight.
Ball Links
Check ball links every 15–20 flights for increased play and looseness.
Adjust the ball links using plyers to tighten the ball race if needed.
