Nevertheless - Unpack battery, plug and charge!
After about 45 minutes indicates the charger that the battery is full.
This is also about the time you read to read the quite thin, oddly detailed English instructions. Alternatively, there is a small German booklet, which also shows good basics. (Trim and instructions for the first flight will be shortened, however!)
Battery is inserted in the helicopter and from `s.
But be careful! The Fixed Pitch 4 channel helicopter is definitely not for kids! The first battery was first plan for a neat trim.
Tip this: It helps the helicopter after the first trim (with light speed - without lifting - first correct erroneous movements) for the time being in the hands 1m to keep off the ground and carry out the basic controls (no ground effect!). Again and again release the helicopter and see where it is going. Then start again and later adjustments until it adheres stable in the air.
After 1-3 battery charges are draufgegangen for trimming, it can be considered to carry out the first flight maneuvers.
Now I want to quickly get rid of a negative point:
The initially slightly frail impression of the model was confirmed with me quickly.
Despite some experience with helicopters, it happened that in spite of low height (20cm) and immediate removal from the gas by noting the loss of control, a crash against the Heizkörer had the loss of the tail to follow.
Somewhat surprised, I looked at first the result of an incredibly innocent-looking collision.
Here I have found that the Kestrel 500 unfortunately purely garnicht has a stable rear strut, but only the cheap-looking plastic wrap the cables leading to the tail rotor. - Not really great solved.
After that I immediately went to the Internet to a new tail for 13 Euro to order incl. Shipping. - Steep price for the sculpture looks like a PET bottle! ;-)
In conclusion, for me and for all others Note I recommend the following:
This Heli Please really only enough space to fly! Better with no wind in the garden or in the park.
Otherwise, might well come up frustrating moments and end the flying experience very quickly. A Trainingsgestell certainly helps too!
Otherwise, this is an especially attractive, inexpensive model for the advanced RC pilots.
