The transmitter features a 2.4GHz 6-channel control system. Key controls include:

  • Left Stick: Controls throttle (up/down) and rudder (left/right rotation).
  • Right Stick: Controls elevator (forward/backward) and aileron (left/right side flight).
  • Digital Trims: Fine-tune helicopter stability for throttle, elevator, rudder, and aileron.
  • Trick Switch (IDLE): Activates 3D aerobatic flight mode.
  • Throttle Hold Switch: Cuts power to the main motor for safety during adjustments or emergencies.
  • Mode Selection: Switches between 3D and 6G flight modes.

5.2. Flight Modes: 3D vs. 6G

  • 6G Mode (High Precision 6-Axis Gyro): This mode provides high stability, making it suitable for beginners. The helicopter maintains a steady flight path, simplifying control. In 6G mode, the helicopter can only fly in parallel and cannot perform complex maneuvers like lifts or rolls. The hover function is available in 6G mode.
  • 3D Mode (3-Axis Gyro): This mode offers sensitive and flexible control, ideal for experienced pilots performing aerobatic flights. After switching to 3D mode, activate the IDLE rocker for advanced maneuvers. Beginners are advised to become proficient in 6G mode before attempting 3D flight.

5.3. Basic Flight Operations

  1. Take-off: After binding, slowly increase the throttle (left stick up) until the helicopter lifts off the ground.
  2. Hovering: Adjust the throttle to maintain a stable altitude. Use the right stick for minor positional adjustments.
  3. Forward/Backward Flight: Push the right stick forward or pull it backward.
  4. Side Flight: Push the right stick left or right.
  5. Turning: Push the left stick left or right to rotate the helicopter.
  6. Landing: Slowly decrease the throttle (left stick down) until the helicopter gently touches down.
