Beginner Flight Tips
Make sure that the air is relatively calm in the
room. Keep away from central air vents. Air disturbances make flight
control very difficult for beginners. It is best to learn in an unoccupied
room free from disturbances.
- If spinning is a problem check the anti-spin adjustment (instruction
step 12) and avoid holding the joystick in the left or right positions
for more than a second at a time. It takes some practice to find
the correct timing for best turning control, and recovery from an
undesired spin.
-
Make sure you are not turning the controller
off at any time. To help prevent this, the deep recess in wheel
is designed to make it difficult to accidentally turn off. Also
be sure to keep your index finger on the wheel knob to avoid blocking
the IR emitter.
- Occasionally, the motor vehicle will not respond to a controller command. When this occurs, simply re-issue the command. For instance if the vehicle fails to respond to a forward command, return the joystick to center position and then push forward again. Refer to the FAQ regarding the red BalloonCraft light for more details.
- If the propulsion propellers do not turn or are slow to start, replace the AAA battery. The altitude propeller will normally require a near full throttle to start.
