The E-sky 6 channel radio controlled helicopter is a stunt flyer. With cyclic collective pitch mixing, the E-sky is capable of acrobatic flying, with precise control allowing you to perform advanced tricks including inverted flight. Before you begin flying upside down inches above the ground, you should master the basics of flying the E-sky. It will take time and practice to master, but once you've done so, you'll be able to take advantage of the realistic flight characteristics available only with a 6 channel helicopter.

 

Instructions

1

Pull out the antenna on your transmitter and center the trim wheels on your remote control. The trim controls the spin your helicopter experiences upon lift-off; make sure yours are set to a 0 setting. Center the throttle stick on the remote.

 

2

Connect the battery plug from the battery pack to the remote control receiver on your helicopter. Hold the helicopter aloft for 10 seconds to stabilize the gyro for balanced flight. Place the helicopter onto a flat surface for take-off with the tail facing towards you. Stand at least 15 to 20 feet from the blades for safety.

 

3

Lift the helicopter into the air by applying slight forward motion to the throttle stick. As the helicopter rises, increase the throttle slightly until the helicopter hovers about two feet above the ground. Hovering is maintaining altitude without directional movement.

 

4

Watch for any horizontal rotation in the body of the helicopter as it rises, which indicates a problem with the trim. Reduce the throttle pressure and land the helicopter if it spins in either direction to fix the trim. Turn the trim knob in the opposite direction of the spin slightly and then raise the helicopter again, to see if the adjustment was successful. Repeat the adjustments until the helicopter rises without spinning.

 

5

Raise the helicopter again and then wag the tail of the helicopter using left and right motion of the throttle stick, to get a feel for the rudder control. This changes the forward orientation of the helicopter during flight.

 

6

Face the helicopter away from you and press slightly forward on the cyclic control stick. The cyclic angles the helicopter forward, changing the angle of the air from the props and moving the helicopter forward.

 

7

Move the cyclic stick to the left and right to move the helicopter to the left and right without any motion forward or to the rear. Increasing the forward motion of the throttle stick while operating the cyclic adds speed to your maneuvers. Add slightly more throttle during maneuvering to maintain your current height. Add throttle without maneuvering to increase height, and reduce throttle to reduce height.

 

8

Land the E-sky helicopter by reducing any cyclic movement while maintaining your height with the throttle. This should achieve a hover. Pull back slowly on the throttle stick to reduce altitude. Slowly descend to the ground. Land as lightly as possible and then return the throttle to the zero position.
