(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 correction trim first then use the

rudder stick to control the Left & Right. Note,

now is a good time to make a final 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 eleva-

tor 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.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECK UP & TRIM ADJUSTMENTS

All trim adjustments are to allow you to lift

the helicopter straight up and can be made

one click or detent at a time on the radio.

Hovering When all is set, ready and checked, attach your training gear/pod and start the engine.

(1) Place the helicopter pointing into the wind and stand behind the model about 15' away.

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

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

(4) 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 carefull not to get too high ) as

you are practising 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 practise 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 flying, forward flight, loops and rolls, 3D (aerobatic flying) and anything you want to do with your

Hawk helicopter as it can be set up for beginner through to expert. Lastly, have fun!!

Basic Hovering

Pre-Flight Checklist

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

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

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

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

5. Check the glow plug and fuel lines for signs of wear.
