Find a Suitable Flying Area

Before preparing your Proto CX EP for fl ight, now would be a good time to think about where you are going to fl y it. Experienced pilots may have the skill to fl y in confi ned
areas with obstacles (such as a living room or garage), but beginners should fi nd a larger area with a smooth fl oor free from obstacles (such as a gymnasium or a large
basement with a tall ceiling). If the winds are calm, experienced pilots may also be able to fl y the Proto CX EP outdoors, but even the slightest wind will make it too diffi cult
for beginners.

Now that you have identifi ed a suitable fl ying area, there are a few procedures that must be followed to prepare your Proto CX EP for fl ight.

Confi rm the Operational Mode of the Transmitter

The transmitter included with your Proto CX EP may be confi gured so the control sticks operate the helicopter in two different “Modes.” Your transmitter is already confi gured
in Mode 2, which is the way nearly everybody in the United States fl ies their helicopters and airplanes. In Mode 2, the left control stick operates the throttle (or rotor speed
for helicopters) and yaw direction, and the right control stick operates pitch (forward and backward) and roll (right and left banking). When you graduate to larger airplanes
and helicopters, you will fi nd that they will also be operated in Mode 2.

In Mode 2, moving the throttle/yaw control stick to the left and
right controls the helicopter’s yaw direction.

Moving the pitch/roll control stick to the left and right controls
the helicopter’s roll.

Moving the throttle/yaw control stick forward and back
controls the helicopter’s rotor blade speed which makes
the helicopter climb or ascend.

Moving the pitch/roll control stick forward and back
controls the helicopter’s pitch.
