To avoid loss of control, ALWAYS move the Altitude Right controls SLOWLY! If you ever feel you don’t have complete control of the helicopter, useRudder the throttle stick to maintain altitude and release the opposite stick. The model will return to level flight.
M2 Expert OFF 3-6 feet R X 4. Place the model in the center of your flying area, with the front of the model facing away from you. Stand several feet behind the model. T X M1 5. Slowly push the throttle stick forward. Gently increase the rpm of the main rotors until the model begins to lift off. 6. Reduce throttle to maintain a hover when the model is about 2–3 feet off the ground. This height will reduce the likelihood of crash damage and keep the model away from ground turbulence. 7.
• The trim buttons will adjust each control in a small increment with each ‘click.’ Press the trim button as many times as is required until the model holds a steady hover with little or no correction required. • The QR-1 features an automatic rudder trimming feature. Simply land the helicopter and allow it to sit still for three or more seconds. The QR-1 will automatically re-center the rudder control. As you adjust each trim, the transmitter’s LCD will show you the trim position as a numeric value.
Be prepared for altitude changes as you fly Forward/reverse and left/right movements may increase or reduce lift, causing the helicopter to gain or lose altitude. Be prepared to react to altitude changes by adjusting the throttle as you fly the model. Normal and Expert Flight Modes • The QR-1 is factory set for Normal Mode flying, and it will always power up in Normal Mode. While fast and responsive in Normal Mode, the QR-1 has even greater performance capability when Expert Mode is activated.
not be able to flip or may only flip while accelerating upwards. Performing a flip with less than full power will result in significant altitude loss. Avoid stunt flying until the battery is fully charged. Advanced Flight: Performing Banked Turns The QR-1’s advanced 6-Axis Stabilization System and precise 4-channel controls allow it to make banked turns. This is an exclusive performance capability unique to the QR-1. To make a banked turn, combine aileron and elevator inputs.
Restoring the Default Settings Use the following procedure to return the transmitter to its default settings. 1. With the transmitter powered off, move both sticks to the upper left position and hold, then power on the transmitter and release the sticks. 2. Move the left stick to full travel in each direction (full left, full right, full forward, full back), holding the stick in each position for one second. Repeat this procedure with the right stick. 3.
The transmitter settings have been adjusted incorrectly for optimal flight. • Return the transmitter to the default settings. See “Restoring the Default Settings.” The helicopter landed by itself, and now the throttle will not respond. The LEDs on the helicopter are blinking, and the LED on the transmitter is solid. • The helicopter battery needs to be recharged. The helicopter trim cannot be adjusted. The helicopter continues to drift no matter the trim setting. 1.
