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

I not long ago had the enjoyment of obtaining my really have Dyna Hawk GX: Blackguard. It came in a package, all set to fly. Bundled in the kit was the helicopter, distant, AC adapter, rechargeable battery pack (Li-Po), 4 added blades (2 for every rotor), a little screwdriver (utilized for tightening blades and other repairs), instruction manual, and a pieces listing. The initial point i did when i opened the package was pull out the Dyna Hawk GX. Immediately after i had taken that out, looked it over, and straightened the blades accurately, I ongoing by pulling the rest of the contents out to make positive every little thing was there. The moment i was finished checking, I grabbed the guide and read through it. Getting that it was made in China, the guide has both equally English and Chinese translations. Some of the directions ended up a minor confusing, but all-in-all, it guided me by the approach of getting all set to fly.

Right after reading through the manual, the subsequent step is to demand the Li-Po battery and receive 8 AA batteries (not included) for the distant. The remote itself has 2 thumb-sticks. 1 of the thumb-sticks controls the throttle or “elevate”, and the turns the helicopter or controls the “route”. There is also 2 buttons beneath the throttle stick that you use to “tune” your helicopter in flight. These buttons are made use of to decrease the “spinning” and support your helicopter hover straight. (For even further instruction, see the manual.)

Following the battery is entirely billed, stick to the guidance to set up 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. When the battery is connected, the helicopter cockpit has a regular blinking gentle that demonstrates the Dyna Hawk is ready. You are now “nearly” all set for flight.

Put in 8 AA batteries into you remote, screw on the antenna and prolong it, then change on you remote. Normally keep the antenna extended all the way when in use. Not executing so could result in “loss of reception” which would bring about you to get rid of management and crash. With the two the battery set up and your remote on, gently simplicity the throttle adhere forward (up), creating both of those blades spin creating “carry”. If your helicopter’s blades spin, you are prepared to fly right after a few straightforward adjustments. (refer back to the manual for these changes.)

Just after the changes are designed, it is time to have some enjoyment! The Dyna Hawk GX is an “indoor” electrical RC helicopter. It is not created for out of doors flight. My advice, (as perfectly as the companies) is to obtain a “broad-open up” indoor region in which to fly it in. A great flight zone would be an indoor basketball courtroom, cost-free of any obstacles. Getting impatient, and also because of to terrible climate, i decided to try mine out in my living space. ( i will not advise this and i will clarify why later on.)

At initial, it took me a even though to get used to the throttle. The handbook implies undertaking some training to get utilized to the flight controls and has various unique routines to grasp. I advise undertaking these if you are a initially time flyer. After i obtained applied to the throttle, i was quickly in a position to get the Dyna Hawk GX to hover about my dwelling space. The turning reacts incredibly speedily, sometimes more than-turning, so feathering the “proper” thumb-adhere is critical. Also, make sure that there are no drafts, open up windows, or vents on in your flight zone. The slightest breeze can lead to your Dyna Hawk GX to not fly the right way and eliminate command. With some practice, mastering the flight handle with the Dyna Hawk GX arrives swiftly, and you will quickly be flying about for the entire demand of the battery.

Now, the rationale i propose not flying close to obstacles: When the Dyna Hawk GX is a somewhat well developed RC helicopter, in particular for the selling price, it is not indestructible. Generally, if you drop throttle, it will drop straight down and bounce off the ground with out substantially of a dilemma. But, if you transpire to crash land into an item (allows say a sofa for instance), it can induce harm. When i crashed into a sofa, the blades hit it and i broke the plastic interior shaft piece. This part is what can make the bottom blades spin the similar speed as the top rated and can help avert spin of the total helicopter (functions as a tail rotor). If i hadn’t crashed into the couch, no injury would have been accomplished. My slip-up. Luckily, a ton of “passion stores” carry spare for elements and this component can be replaced for a small financial investment. I personally selected an aluminum internal shaft piece so that this difficulty is considerably less possible to arise yet again. I also will now only fly in “impediment cost-free” parts with a good deal of place.

Bottom line, the Dyna Hawk GX is a great helicopter for beginner to intermediate flyer’s, ages 12 and up. The battery, totally charged, will past 10 – 15 minutes of strong flight and also expenses somewhat quick. This helps make ready in between flights shorter and gives you a lot more continual enjoyment. It is one of the much better looking apache types and i have experienced numerous compliments on it already. With suitable treatment and elevated flight techniques, I am positive that this particular electric powered RC helicopter will bring you lots of pleasure more than time. To make it last for a longer time, often recharge the battery ideal right after flight exhaustion, and then give it 5 minutes prior to you acquire flight all over again to allow the motor great down. This will support protect against motor “burnout”. Also, never leave the battery uncharged for a prolonged time period of time. Storing a Li-Po battery uncharged could lead to it to be not able to maintain a cost and final results in owning to replace the battery sooner than afterwards. Batteries are not low-priced. At times air blast the Dyna Hawk GX down to get rid of any dust that might have hooked up to it. And always, usually fly in an area completely free of obstructions to decrease the prospect of hurt when you crash. Do these issues and the Dyna Hawk GX: Blackguard will keep on being one more wonderful addition to your arsenal of electrical RC motor vehicles!
