6. Nastavení

6.1 Nabíjení baterie

Before first use, ensure your 22.2V 6S 1850-2200mAh Li-Po battery is fully charged using a compatible balance charger (e.g., RCC-6CX Intelligent Balance Charger). Always follow the battery manufacturer's charging instructions and safety precautions.

6.2 Příprava dálkového ovládání

1. Ensure the throttle stick on your transmitter is in the lowest position.
2. Set all other switches on the transmitter to their upper position.

6.4 Párování a kalibrace

1. Turn on your remote control.
2. Turn on the helicopter. The remote control and helicopter will attempt to pair automatically.
3. To calibrate the remote control, pull both control sticks to their outermost sides (bottom-left and bottom-right corners simultaneously).
4. Calibration is complete when the helicopter blades twitch up and down.

6.5 Control Surface Test

With the throttle stick consistently at its lowest position, push and pull the control stick to test if all control surfaces (servos) are working properly. Observe the movement of the swashplate and tail rotor to confirm correct response to stick inputs.

7. Návod k obsluze

Always ensure you are in a safe, open area for flight. Beginners should start with gentle movements and practice hovering at low altitudes.

7.1 Vzlet

Gently push the throttle stick upwards to lift the helicopter off the ground. Aim for a smooth, controlled ascent to a low altitude (e.g., 1-2 meters). Poznámka: Do not push the throttle stick to the left/right until the helicopter lifts off the ground, as this may cause the tail rotor to stop rotating prematurely.

7.2 Altitude Control

After takeoff, gently control the throttle stick (left stick for Mode 2 transmitters) to adjust the helicopter's altitude up or down. Small, precise movements are key.

7.3 Directional Control and Hovering

Gently control the right stick to adjust the helicopter's forward/backward and left/right attitude. The goal for beginners is to achieve a stable hover, ensuring the tail remains stable and the helicopter hovers facing towards you. Practice hovering repeatedly and continuously to master this fundamental skill.

7.4 Přistání

Once a stable hover is achieved, begin to slowly control the throttle stick downwards to gently land the helicopter. Reduce throttle gradually to avoid hard landings.

8. Údržba

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of your TB40 helicopter.

• Inspekce: Before and after each flight, inspect the helicopter for any loose screws, damaged blades, or worn components.
• Čištění: Udržujte vrtulník čistý od nečistot, prachu a úlomků. Používejte měkký, suchý hadřík.
• Kontrola čepele: Ensure main and tail blades are free from cracks or damage. Replace damaged blades immediately.
• Péče o baterie: Skladujte Li-Po baterie při skladovacím objemutage and in a fire-safe bag when not in use. Do not overcharge or over-discharge.
• Mazání: Periodically check moving parts for smooth operation and apply appropriate lubricant if necessary, as per the detailed kit manual.
