7. Initial Setup

The Eachine E200 comes "Almost Ready" for flight, meaning minimal assembly is required. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. Battery Charging:
   • Connect the provided 11.1V LiPo battery to the special charger, then connect the special charger to the USB charger.
   • Plug the USB charger into a suitable USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
   • The charging time is approximately 75 minutes. Ensure the battery is fully charged before the first flight. Refer to the "Battery Charging" section for more details.
3. Transmitter Batteries (RTF Version Only): Install the required batteries into your remote controller (details "as shown" in specifications, typically AA batteries).
4. Blade Installation (if necessary): If main or tail blades are not pre-installed, attach them securely using the provided hexagon wrench. Ensure they are oriented correctly and can rotate freely.
5. Binding (BNF Version Only): If you have the BNF version, you will need to bind your compatible 2.4GHz transmitter to the helicopter. Refer to your transmitter's manual for specific binding procedures, ensuring it supports DSMX, DSM2, PPM, or S-BUS standards.
6. Pre-Flight Check: Before your first flight, ensure all connections are secure, blades are tight, and the helicopter's lights and controls respond correctly to the transmitter inputs.

8. Operating Instructions

The Eachine E200 features a 6-axis gyroscope for stable flight, making it accessible for beginners while offering advanced capabilities for experienced pilots. The standard 6CH remote control allows for precise maneuvers.

8.1 Basic Flight Controls (Mode 2)

• Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls the main rotor speed, thus controlling the helicopter's altitude (Up for ascent, Down for descent).
• Rudder (Left Stick Left/Right): Controls the helicopter's yaw, making it rotate left or right on its vertical axis.
• Elevator (Right Stick Up/Down): Controls the helicopter's pitch, making it move forward (Up) or backward (Down).
• Aileron (Right Stick Left/Right): Controls the helicopter's roll, making it move sideways (Left for left-side flying, Right for right-side flying).

8.2 Flight Modes (3D/6G System)

The E200 supports both 3D and 6G flight modes. The 5GH/Gyro Switch on your transmitter typically controls this:

• 6G (6-axis Gyro) Mode: This mode provides enhanced stability, automatically leveling the helicopter. It is ideal for beginners and stable cruising.
• 3D Mode: This mode allows for advanced aerobatics and inverted flight, offering full control without self-leveling. It is recommended for experienced pilots.

Refer to your transmitter's specific instructions for switching between these modes and adjusting gyroscope sensitivity.

9. Battery Charging

The Eachine E200 uses a professional customized high-rate 11.1V 1450mAh 30C LiPo battery. Proper charging is crucial for battery longevity and safety.

1. Connect: Connect the helicopter's smart battery to the special charger. Then, connect the special charger to the USB charger.
2. Power Source: Plug the USB charger into a standard USB power adapter (5V/2A recommended) or a computer USB port.
3. Charging Indicator: The charger will typically have an indicator light. Consult the charger's specific instructions for light patterns (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
4. Charging Time: A full charge takes approximately 75 minutes. Do not leave batteries unattended while charging.
5. Safety Precautions:
   • Always use the dedicated USB 11.1V lithium battery charger provided.
   • Do not charge damaged or swollen batteries.
   • Charge on a non-flammable surface, away from flammable materials.
   • Disconnect the battery from the charger once fully charged.
   • The smart battery has built-in protection against overcharge and overdischarge, and a low battery indication feature to prolong its life.

10. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Eachine E200 helicopter.

• Blade Inspection: Before and after each flight, check the main and tail rotor blades for any cracks, chips, or deformation. Replace damaged blades immediately using the provided hexagon wrench.
• Motor Check: Ensure the brushless motors are free from debris and can spin freely. Listen for unusual noises during operation.
• Servo Check: Verify that all servos respond smoothly and accurately to transmitter inputs.
• Body Cleaning: Clean the helicopter body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods.
• Storage: When not in use, store the helicopter and remote controller in a safe place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent damage.

11. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

12. User Tips

• Practice in 6G Mode: For beginners, start by practicing hovering and basic directional movements in 6G (stabilized) mode to build confidence and control.
• Gentle Controls: RC helicopters respond quickly to inputs. Use smooth, gentle movements on the joysticks for better control, especially during initial flights.
