Your New Elite 3D Pro Helicopter
Getting Started
CHECKING OVER THE MODEL
Before beginning, check the kit contents. This is a good time to check the “required
items” section on page 2 and make sure everything necessary is on hand for assembly.
INITIAL MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS
The Hummingbird 3D Pro series flybar and main blades
must be set properly after removing from the package.
1. Slide the flybar until it is centered in the rotor head
having equal length on each side.
2. Tighten the two set screws in the flybar control arms to
secure the flybar. Flybar paddles must be parallel to each
other and the ground when the swashplate is level. Make
sure the screw head in each paddle faces upwards.
3. Install the main rotor blades for clockwise rotation (thick
portion of blades are LEADING edge). Use a conservative
amount of pressure when installing the blade bolts. The
blade tension should be medium and equal on both grips.
4. Remove the canopy and set aside. You will not need
the canopy until the end of the setup process.
USING ADHESIVES TO SECURE THE MODEL
Check over loose non-moving areas of the helicopter.
Secure any loose connections using the adhesive of your
choice. Using CA (cyanocrylite) glue is very effective but
difficult to debond for maintainance. Household white
glue, although not as strong, works well and is easier to
dissasemble later.

Important: High Performance Machine:
Check your model before assembling. Check all
fasteners and mechanics for tightness and symetry
before flying your. Be sure to inspect the model after
every flight as a safety precaution.
