connecting the battery to the model. Jamming signals may result in an undesired takeoff or
any other uncontrolled reaction of the model.
9. Place the TERYX 450 on a plain surface, and make sure it is not moved during powering it up.
10. Connect the battery to the helicopter. It is necessary on power up that the channel
inversions are properly set up. The 5in1 unit features a couple of safety mechanisms, which
should prevent an undesired take off. As the model is considerably big and powerful a
couple of conditions must be met so that the control unit releases the motors and servos.
a) All channels have to be connected. If one plug is not connected to the receiver, the
5in1 unit will not release the helicopter.
b) The throttle channel (THR) has to provide a 0% signal (throttle off).
c) The Yaw channel (RUD) has to be moved out of its center position to full deflection left
(Lever on the radio to full left) and returned to its center position.
11. Only if those conditions are met, the light on the 5in1 unit will turn on. Caution! If the TERYX
450 is moved during this initializing phase, gyros may not be setup correctly.
12. If the light will not come on after deflecting the rudder to full left after this procedure, the
channels are wrongly assigned. Please check systematically, check the assignment of the
channels again (plugs properly connected) and then the inversion of the channels. You may
want to connect a single servo to check the situation at your receiver.
13. As soon as the light is constantly on, the setup is correct.
14. Move the throttle lever a little bit, so that the rotors start to spin slowly.
15. Check the reaction of the swash plate, move the levers for pitch and roll. The swashplate
must move with the input of those lever inputs.
16. Check the yaw function, if you move the lever to the left, the upper rotor must spin slower
as the lower one, or even come to a still stand at low rotations.
6.2 ADJUST ING THE MOD EL
Now you have to adjust your TERYX 450. This means, that
the radio control must be adjusted in a manner, that the
TERYX 450 keeps flying leveled and balanced. Put the
helicopter at a distance of 2 meter from you on a hard,
flat and if possible slippery ground. Move the throttle
lever carefully up. First the lower rotor starts to spin, then the upper rotor. Move the throttle
lever further upwards, but do not let the helicopter take off. In this stage the helicopter will
probably try to turn or drift into some direction. Make sure that you pull down the throttle lever
in case the helicopter is near to tipping over. To balance this drifting, you need to use the trims
on your radio control (small levers next to the big control levers):
If the TERYX 450 tilts back or forwards, move the trim lever of the pitch function in the other
direction, until it stops.
If the TERYX 450 twists left or right, move the trim lever of the yaw function in the other
direction, until it stops.
If the TERYX 450 tilts right or left, move the trim lever of the roll function in the other direction,
until it stops.
