Electric RC Helicopter – Dyna Hawk GX – To start with Flight Overview

I just lately experienced the enjoyment of obtaining my really have Dyna Hawk GX: Blackguard. It arrived in a package, prepared to fly. Incorporated in the package was the helicopter, distant, AC adapter, rechargeable battery pack (Li-Po), 4 further blades (2 for each and every rotor), a little screwdriver (utilized for tightening blades and other repairs), instruction handbook, and a elements list. The 1st factor i did when i opened the package was pull out the Dyna Hawk GX. Just after i experienced taken that out, appeared it above, and straightened the blades effectively, I ongoing by pulling the rest of the contents out to make sure every thing was there. After i was completed examining, I grabbed the manual and read as a result of it. Becoming that it was manufactured in China, the manual has both equally English and Chinese translations. Some of the guidance ended up a minor puzzling, but all-in-all, it guided me by way of the method of acquiring ready to fly.

Soon after reading the handbook, the next phase is to cost the Li-Po battery and get 8 AA batteries (not included) for the remote. The distant alone has 2 thumb-sticks. One of the thumb-sticks controls the throttle or “raise”, and the turns the helicopter or controls the “way”. There is also 2 buttons beneath the throttle adhere that you use to “tune” your helicopter in flight. These buttons are utilized to lower the “spinning” and enable your helicopter hover straight. (For additional instruction, see the guide.)

Right after the battery is completely billed, comply with the guidelines to install it on the bottom of the Dyna Hawk GX. The trick is to get the wires that you plug the battery into “tucked” into the “cockpit” and out of the way. This is the only way to get the battery “clicked” into location and flush, no wires hanging. As soon as the battery is linked, the helicopter cockpit has a regular blinking gentle that reveals the Dyna Hawk is completely ready. You are now “nearly” prepared for flight.

Put in 8 AA batteries into you distant, screw on the antenna and prolong it, then convert on you distant. Always maintain the antenna prolonged all the way when in use. Not performing so could final result in “loss of reception” which would lead to you to reduce command and crash. With each the battery mounted and your distant on, gently simplicity the throttle stick forward (up), generating the two blades spin developing “raise”. If your helicopter’s blades spin, you are prepared to fly immediately after a handful of very simple changes. (refer again to the handbook for these adjustments.)

Right after the adjustments are created, it is time to have some exciting! The Dyna Hawk GX is an “indoor” electric powered RC helicopter. It is not built for outside flight. My suggestion, (as nicely as the suppliers) is to find a “vast-open” indoor space in which to fly it in. A wonderful flight zone would be an indoor basketball court docket, free of any obstructions. Remaining impatient, and also due to lousy weather, i determined to check out mine out in my dwelling place. ( i will not recommend this and i will make clear why afterwards.)

At initial, it took me a whilst to get utilised to the throttle. The guide indicates doing some schooling to get made use of to the flight controls and has various different routines to grasp. I suggest performing these if you are a very first time flyer. After i bought utilised to the throttle, i was quickly ready to get the Dyna Hawk GX to hover all-around my living room. The turning reacts really swiftly, from time to time more than-turning, so feathering the “correct” thumb-adhere is crucial. Also, make sure that there are no drafts, open home windows, or vents on in your flight zone. The slightest breeze can induce your Dyna Hawk GX to not fly appropriately and shed control. With some follow, mastering the flight manage with the Dyna Hawk GX comes rapidly, and you will before long be flying all-around for the complete charge of the battery.

Now, the reason i propose not flying around hurdles: Although the Dyna Hawk GX is a somewhat very well designed RC helicopter, in particular for the rate, it is not indestructible. Ordinarily, if you shed throttle, it will fall straight down and bounce off the flooring with no substantially of a issue. But, if you take place to crash land into an object (lets say a sofa for case in point), it can induce injury. When i crashed into a couch, the blades strike it and i broke the plastic internal shaft piece. This section is what helps make the bottom blades spin the exact same velocity as the major and assists avoid spin of the total helicopter (acts as a tail rotor). If i hadn’t crashed into the sofa, no harm would have been carried out. My miscalculation. The good news is, a lot of “passion stores” have spare for elements and this aspect can be changed for a minimal expense. I individually selected an aluminum interior shaft piece so that this problem is fewer possible to arise once more. I also will now only fly in “impediment cost-free” regions with a good deal of room.

Bottom line, the Dyna Hawk GX is a good helicopter for novice to intermediate flyer’s, ages 12 and up. The battery, completely billed, will last 10 – 15 minutes of strong flight and also rates reasonably speedy. This tends to make waiting around concerning flights shorter and presents you a lot more continuous entertaining. It is just one of the better searching apache types and i have had a number of compliments on it previously. With proper care and increased flight capabilities, I am sure that this certain electric powered RC helicopter will deliver you lots of enjoyment in excess of time. To make it past lengthier, usually recharge the battery suitable after flight exhaustion, and then give it 5 minutes ahead of you get flight once more to let the motor interesting down. This will support avoid motor “burnout”. Also, never ever leave the battery uncharged for a prolonged period of time. Storing a Li-Po battery uncharged could result in it to be not able to hold a cost and success in getting to exchange the battery quicker than later. Batteries are not low-priced. Often air blast the Dyna Hawk GX down to get rid of any dust that may possibly have attached to it. And normally, constantly fly in an area completely cost-free of obstructions to reduce the likelihood of destruction when you crash. Do these points and the Dyna Hawk GX: Blackguard will keep on being another good addition to your arsenal of electric RC cars!
