Helikopter information
Her har vi samlet forskellig information specielt omkring modelhelikoptere
Hvordan lærer jeg at flyve en modelhelikopter ?
Det kræver for det første tålmodighed. Når du pakker helikopteren ud og har opladt batteriet, skal du IKKE begynde med at flyve inde i stuen. Det giver helt sikkert kun en skuffende startoplevelse i form af knækkede helikopterdele og ødelagt inventar.
Anskaf istedet et træningsstel, læs manualen flere gange og find et sted med rigtig god plads, hvor helikopteren kan glide rundt. Det er absolut ikke en god idé at starte med at lette fra en græsplæne, hvor græsstrå og andet kan sætte sig fast i landingsstelet og påvirke helikopteren. Græsplænen er udmeærket at lande på, men ved "take off" så læg en plade eller noget andet, med en glat overflade.
Vent med at lette helikopteren, til du har fået rigtig god føling. Brug 5-10 opladninger. Det er helt normalt og det er nødvendigt for at træne dine reflekser. Hvis helikopteren får problemer, lukker man pr. refleks af for gassen, hvilket IKKE går med en helikopter. Så falder den til jorden som en sten og går i stykker. Flyvning med en helikopter kræver at du hele tiden arbejder med styrepindene og lander den blidt.
Husk på at model helikoptere, lige meget hvilken type, aldrig står stille. De vil altid kræve noget input, for at modvirke tendensen til at dreje. Det er derfor ikke et tegn på at noget er galt med helikopteren, men naturen som spiller ind.
At flyve med helikopter er god gymnastik for hjernen og der går ikke så lang tid før man får "blod på tanden". Men husk at gøre alle forberedelserne grundigt, så du kommer godt fra start. Det gør en rigtig pilot altid.
Huskeregler
Det bliver ikke nemmere fordi du køber en dyr model. Tværtimod.
En nybegynder i tennis bliver heller ikke bedre fordi ketcheren koster 10.000 kr. Man skal kravle, før man kan gå.
Det er vigtigt at huske at en elektrisk helikopter IKKE er legetøj.
En vildfaren helikopter kan forvolde alvorlig skade på mennesker, dyr og materiale.
Derfor SKAL afstanden til bymæssig bebyggelse og større offentlig vej være mindst 150 m.

Rigtig god fornøjelse med flyvningen. Der venter mange sjove timer forude.
VIGTIGT ! Min helikopter virker ikke. Rotoren vil ikke dreje rundt. Hvad sker der ?
Helikopterne er udstyret med en sikkerhedsmekanisme som slukkker for rotoren når der tilsluttes batteri, hvis venstre throttle og evt. tilhørende trimningsknap ikke er helt i bund. Det er for din egen sikkerhed.
Her kan du læse ESKYs engelske guide til hvordan du kommer godt i gang:
Fly the Honeybee, Step 1
If you are a beginner, you must seek assistance from an experienced R/C model helicopter pilot. You should be aware that the main rotor blades and tail rotor blades spin at a very high rpm and are capable of injuring someone if hit by them. You must take care when you are flying to make sure there are no children or animals in the room. In addition, make sure the room is large enough with no obstacles such as furniture which could be hit while you are learning to come to terms with the flight characteristics of your Honeybee.
Suitable flying space should be indoors in a large room or if possible, a small hall or office without obstacles is ideal. In this room you should have all doors closed as any wind can affect the movement of the Honeybee. If there is air-conditioning or heating in the room, this should be turned of until you get used to the characteristics and feel of the helicopter.
Make sure the take-off floor is a smooth surface and be prepared until the flight rpm has been reached that the helicopter might slide around on the floor. We suggest that you avoid carpet for your first flights as this can cause the skids to catch and cause the helicopter to flip over.
Fly the Honeybee, Step 2
first check that all the controls are correct. We suggest you loosen of the two screws of the electric motor and slid it away so that the pinion gear from the motor is no longer engaged to the main gear. How turn your transmitter on followed by plugging in the helicopter. Center all trims and pull the throttle stick down to the bottom. Please note at this stage that you might have to adjust the throttle trim so in this poison, the motor is not turning.
Next check the swash plate is level. To adjust this, use the trims on your transmitter for forward and aft and left and right cyclic. One your achieved all these initial settings, unplug the helicopter from it battery and turn the transmitter off. Re-engage the electric motor and make sure that you do not make the gear mesh too tight between the pinion gears and the main drive gear.
To achieve this slide through a piece of paper between the two gears so there is slightly backslash.
In the appropriate room, which is quite large, and with no obstacles, place the models in the middle, turn the transmitter on and plug in the flight battery and wait until the led light is activated. Then test that servos operate properly but please remember do not apply any throttle. Keep the throttle stick at the off position.
If everything is working correctly, position yourself at least 2 meters behind the helicopter and slightly off to one side. Please be sure that you are able to see the nose of the helicopter.
Please note when flying that you always watch the nose of the helicopter. If the nose of the helicopter twists to the left, you are then required to give right tail rotor to correct this ( for example when using Mode I type radio, you push the left hand stick to the right). Watch the nose and slightly apply enough throttles until the model becomes light on its skids.
All helicopters exhibit a small amount of unavoidable drift on take-off due to the side thrust of the tail rotor and also the turbulence coming from the main rotor blades that is called "rotor wash". This is mainly noticed as drift to the left just before take-off. Therefore it is possible that the machine will tend to yaw its nose to the left or right when a small amount of power is applied, then straighten up when more power is applied to give authority of the model.
Observe whether or not the helicopter tips forward or backwards. If it tips forward, you will need to apply elevator trim towards the rear. This is reversed if it tips the other way. Do this until there is no more detectable forward or backwards or even sideward tendencies.
Always when applying the throttle, please apply it softly. Too much throttle will make the helicopter climb too quickly and you may have difficulties in correcting it quickly enough.
Fly the Honeybee, Step 3
first flight should be what are called "bunny hops". This is initially applying a slight amount of power to get the machine light on it's skids. Once this has happened, apply more power to lift the machine so it's approximately 30 centimeters off the ground. Watch for any change of direction of the model. If you cannot correct it immediately, decrease the throttle and land.
This is the initial technique to learn to fly. You must do this until you believe you are starting to put in the right correction commands to keep the helicopter in one spot. How many times and how many batteries you will achieve this it will depend on your ability to become familiar with the feeling and feedback from the model.
At the preferred height of 30 centimeters, which we find, is best for flight training, always make sure you watch the nose of your helicopter not the tail. Keep practicing and you will find that your flights will become longer.
Also please note that depending on the size of your room, after a few minutes the air circulating around the room can cause some turbulence created by the model. If you find this is off-putting, we suggest that you land and left the air settle.
Please remember that model helicopters no matter what type will never stay still. They will always require some form of input stop the drift or the tendency to turn, this is not a sign of something faulty with the helicopter, but more the nature.
As you become more familiar with your helicopter, you will find that your hand and eye co-ordination will enable input to correct the movement of the helicopter as soon as it starts, as this will start to show smooth flight.
Fly the Honeybee, Step 4
Once you believe you are now familiar with the basic hovering of your helicopter, you should now start experimenting with turning the helicopter slightly to the left or right using the tail rotor (yaw).
Please note always remember if you have turned your helicopter to the left, if you get it any trouble, yaw the helicopter back to the right so you have the tail pointing at you for easier reference. We suggest that you turn the model some 45 degrees towards you always remember to watch the nose.
Take-offs are a little easier than landing. This is due to the ground effect turbulence of rotor blades. However, spot landing at a modest rate of descent is not as difficult as it might seem.
As you become more proficient with your helicopter finding a larger hall so you can start to fly around more or even on dead calm days, by going outside you can achieve some forward flying circuits. If you do fly outside, please remember any wind will affect the performance of the humming bird. Please keep this in mind and do not get surprised if it suddenly climbs or drops without you making any input. This can be cause by a slight breeze or even a thermal wind coming through.
Remember practice makes perfect and even we suggest buying a computer flight simulator can greatly enhance and speed up the learning technique. In addition a simulator is great for teaching you "nose in". this is when the nose of the helicopter is pointing at you which, once this is done, some of the inputs are reversed which can catch out the novice pilot.
Please keep in mind once you notice that the performance of the helicopter is dropping, this is a sign that the flight pack is going flat. We suggest that you immediately land and recharge your battery. And, remember the proper environment of no mind and a large space without obstacles is the key to learning.
RTR/RTF:
Betyder "Ready To Run" eller "Ready To Fly".
I RC verdenen står disse begreber normalt for at man kun skal samle få eller ingen ting, før man kan komme ud at flyve/køre/sejle.
Ved legetøj vil det ofte være tilstrækkeligt at oplade batterierne og sætte dem i udstyret.
Hos RCFUN er der tale om hobby artikler, hvor det oftest være nødvendigt med lidt flere skridt, såsom at montere karosseri, antenne, finjustering af motor/gyro, men der vil ikke være tale om at samle udstyret fra bunden.
Selvom produktet er RTR/RTF er det vigtigt at du gennemgår vejledningerne, kontrollerer og efterspænder skruer samt generelt ser at udstyret reagerer som det skal.
ARTR/ARTF:
Betyder "Allmost RTF/RTR" - her må man regne med en del mere samling.
Motorer og andet vil være samlet fra fabrikken, men man kan påregne at man selv skal sætte servoer på, ligesom man selv skal trimme udstyret. Det kræver som regel mere erfaring.

Opladning af AA batterier i fjernbetjeningen
Bemærk at du IKKE kan lade ESKY fjernbetjeninger med ESKY adapteren, da + - polerne på fjernbetjeningen er omvendt i forhold til adapteren.Vi anbefaler iøvrigt ikke at man benytter genopladelige batterier i fjernbetjeningen. Der skal benyttes almindelige Alkaline batterier, da voltspændingen er højere, hvilket giver bedre rækkevidde.
