Flight Training 
 

Exercise #1 - Hover: 
Set your helicopter on the floor in the center of your practice area and slowly increase the 
throttle to around 50%. The helicopter should take off and start rising. Back off on the throttle 
a small amount and try to maintain a hover.  If required use the trim tabs for roll, pitch and 
yaw to try to keep the helicopter hovering in one spot. When setting the trims make only 
small adjustments then see how the helicopter reacts to the adjustment. Don't use any of the 
other flight controls unless the helicopter starts to drift. Hold the helicopter in a steady hover 
for a few minutes, then slowly decrease the throttle and allow it to settle to the ground. 
 
Exercise #2 - Roll: 
Once you are confident hovering in one place, you can try moving the helicopter around. 
Begin by hovering above a fixed spot, and then gently push the right transmitter stick to the 
left. This will cause the helicopter to tilt slightly and begin moving left. As long as you apply 
inputs the helicopter will continue moving in the direction you are pushing the stick.  Return 
the joystick to center; this should cause the helicopter to again be level and the helicopter 
should coast to a halt. Now move the joystick to the right and practice returning to where you 
started from. 
 
Exercise #3 - Pitch: 
Start in a hover like before, and push the right transmitter stick forward slightly. This will 
cause the helicopter's nose to drop, and the helicopter will start to travel forward. To 
eliminate forward movement re-centre the right joystick, this will cause forward motion to 
cease once any momentum is depleted. If you move the joystick back past centre it will cause 
the helicopter to fly backward. Practice moving back and forth to become familiar with the 
pitch control. 

 

Exercise #4 - Pitch & Roll: 
Set up markers on the ground in the shape of a square. Practice moving to each point and 
establish hover, then return to the center and establish hover before moving on to the next 
point in the cross pattern. Practice moving from the center directly to each corner, and then 
back to the center. 
 
Exercise #5 - Yaw: 
Your helicopter can rotate, pointing the nose in a new direction. Control yaw (rotational 
motion) by nudging the left transmitter stick left or right. Practice flying around the perimeter 
of a square keeping the nose pointing in these positions: left, right, towards you, and away 
from you. 
 
When you feel confident using all of the controls, practice flying it to any desired location 
and land there. Continue to practice until you have mastered all of the exercises and your 
control of the helicopter feels natural and instinctive.
