Launching your helicopter

L

aunch your helicopter using a Remote-Control Track section (available separately,
6-65530 for O gauge; 6-65149 or 6-12746 for O-27 gauge; or 6-12020 for FasTrack

layouts).

1. Slide the metal lever away from the helicopter platform so that the metal locking
mechanism catches each of the three “teeth” along the sides of the platform/spool.

If the metal locking mechanism is not in position to capture each tooth, the

platform will unwind immediately.

2 Rotate the launch platform/spool clockwise approximately seven to eight clicks. Do not

over-tighten the mechanism.

3 Next, place the helicopter on the launching platform as illustrated in Figure 1.
The tail should rest on the support structure to the rear of the launching platform, and the

body of the helicopter should rest on the launching platform.

The notches or teeth in the center of the platform and on the bottom of the

helicopter must fit together. Rotate the helicopter blades while the helicopter is in
position until these notches fit together.

4. Position the flatcar over the Remote-Control Track section and press UNCOUPLE on the
controller. The helicopter will take flight. To launch the helicopter manually, press down
the launching tab on the side of the flatcar. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the tab.

The blades of the helicopter rotate to provide lift. Keep clear of the flatcar when

launching the helicopter.
