12. Pre-Flight

Basic Hovering

When all is set, ready and checked, attach your training gear/pod and plug in your battery.

Place the helicopter pointing into the wind and stand behind the model about 15’ away.

Always watch the nose of the helicopter, move the rudder left and the nose will move left.

Start by increasing the throttle slowly until the helicopter rises 2-6 inches off the ground then set it back down.

Repeat this process until you become comfortable with the holding the model in the same spot for a few seconds then land

it.

After some time at this you can increase the height slightly up to 1 foot (be very careful not to get too high) as you are practic-

ing taking off and landing. This is the most basic but required skill for the beginner to learn.

Beyond Hovering

It cannot be stressed enough that mastering the hovering skill is crucial to becoming a good helicopter pilot. As you progress

in your learning, always practice hovering until you are completely comfortable in holding the helicopter in any direction at any

altitude. Perfecting hovering enables you to learn all the types and styles of helicopter ying, forward ight, loops and rolls, 3D

(aerobatic ying) and anything you want to do with your Swift helicopter as it can be set up for a beginner through to expert.

Lastly, have fun!

Pre-Flight Checklist

After turning radio on, move each servo separately, looking for unusual or excessive movement.

Lubricate the main shaft above the swashplate and the pitch slider on the tail output shaft with oil.

Inspect the main and tail rotor grips for play or binding.

Turn the main gear in both directions to feel if a problem is developing in the drive train.

Check the connectors on the battery(s), servos, and receiver to ensure they are still connected.

Pre-Flight Check Up and Trim Adjustments

All trim adjustments are to allow you to lift the helicopter straight up and can be made one click at a time on the radio.

1) Collective & Throttle: Slowly raise the throttle stick, the helicopter

should lift off at half stick. If it tends not to lift off increase the hover

pitch on the radio or increase the throttle trim. If the helicopter lifts

off before mid stick decrease these settings.

2) Rudder: When the helicopter is ready to take off, make a correc-

tion trim rst then use the rudder stick to control the Left & Right.

Note, now is a good time to make a nal adjustment on the gyro, see

gyro manual.

3) Elevator: If at hover the helicopter tends to move forward, move

the trim down, if it moves backward move the trim upwards Use the

elevator stick to control the Forward & Backward.

4) Roll (Aileron): If at hover the helicopter tends to move left, move

the trim right, if the helicopter moves to the right move the trim left.

Move the Aileron stick to control the slide of the helicopter to the

Right & Left.
