Controlling climb, descent and hovering
The first step in getting maximum fun out of the NANO STAR is to establish a
stable, smooth hover. After a little practice the multi-channel control system can
be used to fly the model in a similar manner to a "proper" model helicopter:
When the model reaches the desired altitude, hold the left-hand stick (climb /
descent) as still as possible in the position where the helicopter neither climbs
nor descends. If the model starts turning in either direction, use the right-hand
stick to counteract the movement; in this way you will soon achieve a steady
hover. Once you have learned the skill of keeping the NANO STAR hovering at a
particular height, without rotating, you can deliberately alter the orientation of the
fuselage (and therefore the possible direction of flight) using the direction control
(right stick). The forward / back control (right stick again) is used to accelerate or
brake the model in this direction; the helicopter is even capable of flying slowly
backwards. By combining all the stick functions the model can be controlled in a
similar manner to a real helicopter.
Landing, terminating flight operations
The NANO STAR can be landed simply by gradually moving the left-hand stick
back towards you. After the landing the main switch must first be moved to the
"OFF" position, and only then the transmitter can be switched off.
Note: towards the end of a flight the model will become increasingly unstable
due to the declining battery voltage. When this happens you must land the model
and recharge the battery.
Fault-finding
After the initial charge you may find that the flight battery does not give its
•
full capacity, resulting in reduced flight times. The LiPo pack only reaches
its full performance after a few charge / discharge cycles.
After a flying session
At the end of a flying session the model should be placed back in its original
•
packaging to avoid the danger of accidentally bending or distorting the
rotors.
If you know you will not be flying the helicopter for a long period, ensure that
•
the model is switched off, and remove the dry cells from the transmitter.
