4.2. General Assembly Steps (Consult Official Manual for Details)
- Frame Assembly: Assemble the carbon fiber side plates and frame components. Ensure all screws are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. The 2mm thick side plates contribute to the aircraft's robustness.
- Landing Gear Installation: Attach the landing skids securely to the main frame.
- Power Train Assembly: Install the main gear, one-way bearing, and motor mount. Ensure smooth rotation of the main gear.
- Main Rotor Head Assembly: Assemble the full-metal main rotor head, including the main blade grips and pitch control arms. Pay close attention to the sacrificial design of the pitch control arms, which are designed to protect other components in a crash.
- Tail Boom and Tail Rotor Assembly: Attach the tail boom to the main frame. Install the tail belt, tail rotor assembly, and tail blades. Ensure the tail belt has proper tension. The one-piece tail shaft and thickened shafts enhance durability.
- Electronics Installation:
- Mount the cyclic servos, rudder servo, motor, ESC, and flybarless system. The design centralizes electronics for optimal center of gravity.
- Route all wiring neatly and securely, ensuring no interference with moving parts.
- Connect all components to the flybarless system according to its specific instructions.

5. Operating Instructions
Operating the Goosky Legend RS6 requires proficiency in RC helicopter piloting. Always ensure you are familiar with your radio transmitter and flybarless system settings before attempting flight.
5.1. Pre-Flight Checklist
- Verify battery charge levels for both the helicopter and transmitter.
- Inspect all mechanical linkages for free movement and security.
- Check main and tail blades for damage and ensure they are properly secured.
- Confirm correct control surface response to transmitter inputs.
- Ensure the flight area is clear of obstacles and people.
5.2. Flight Operation
- Spool Up: Gradually increase throttle to allow the main rotor to reach operating speed.
- Take-off: Smoothly increase collective pitch to lift off the ground. Maintain a stable hover.
- Flight Control: Use the cyclic stick for forward, backward, and sideways movement. Use the rudder stick for yaw control. Collective pitch controls altitude. The precise control systems allow for advanced 3D maneuvers.
- Landing: Slowly reduce collective pitch to descend. Maintain control with cyclic and rudder until the helicopter gently touches down. Reduce throttle to zero after landing.
For detailed flight techniques and advanced maneuvers, consult experienced pilots or specialized RC helicopter flight training resources.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your Goosky Legend RS6. Perform these checks after every flight session or as needed.
- Visual Inspection: Check for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose components on the frame, blades, and landing gear. Pay attention to the 2mm thick side plates and reinforced shafts.
- Blade Inspection: Examine main and tail blades for nicks, cracks, or deformation. Replace damaged blades immediately.
- Linkage and Bearing Check: Ensure all linkages move freely without binding and that bearings are smooth. Lubricate as necessary.
- Screw Tightness: Periodically check all screws and bolts for tightness, especially those on the main rotor head and tail assembly. The sacrificial design of the main pitch control arms helps protect the main blade grips and servos in a crash, but these should still be inspected.
- Electronics Check: Inspect wiring for fraying or damage. Ensure all electronic components are securely mounted.
- Cleaning: Keep the helicopter clean from dirt, dust, and debris. Use a soft cloth to wipe down surfaces.
- Battery Care: Follow manufacturer guidelines for charging, discharging, and storing LiPo batteries.
