How to Fly

Experience

Your Pulsar helicopter makes an ideal introduction to flying RC Helicopters and by following the following basic
instructions inexperienced pilots should soon master basic flying skills. If you have a computer with internet access
then download & follow the FMS simulator training section before flying your model. This will help new pilots become
familiar with the controls.
Site & Conditions
Fly your helicopter indoors in a large room, hall or office. Only fly outdoors in perfectly calm conditions with no
•
wind unless you are an experienced pilot.
Make sure there are no obstacles that will get in your way when flying, such as furniture, trees or buildings.
•
Make sure you do not fly where there are people or animals who could be hurt by the helicopter.
•
If flying outdoors position yourself so that you keep the sun at your back and out of your eyes. Wear
•
sunglasses on bright days.
Keep your helicopter in front of you so you don't have to turn in circles as you fly. Try to avoid flying directly
•
overhead.

Learning to Hover

1. Place your helicopter in a an open space facing away from yourself about 5 metres in distance.
2. Push the throttle stick gently forwards increasing the blade speed until it becomes light just lifting from the
ground.
3. Gently decrease the power to land smoothly.
4. If your helicopter moves away from the centre of your training area place it back in the middle.
5. Repeat this exercise increasing the flying height of 1 metre can be achieved whilst remaining in control.
All helicopters experience some instability immediately on lifting from the ground. If this does not stabilise as height
is gained and your helicopter drifts or turns repeatedly in one direction you will need to adjust the transmitter trim
levers. To do this refer to Controlling Your Helicopter and move the transmitter trim lever one or two clicks in the
opposite direction to the travel until a steady hover is achieved.

Learning to Turn

1. Hover your helicopter 1 metre in the air.
2. Move the rudder stick a small amount in one direction and release it. The tail of your helicopter will swing
around and stop in the new position.
3. Repeat applications of rudder so you can turn and hover facing in any chosen direction.
Learning Forward and Backwards Flight
1. Hover your helicopter 1 metre in the air.
2. Move the cyclic control stick forwards gently and release it, your helicopter will move forwards then hover
stationary.
3. Reduce the throttle stick and land your helicopter returning it to its starting position.
4. Repeat this exercise but prior to landing move the cyclic stick back to return the helicopter to its starting
position whilst in flight.
