I not too long ago experienced the satisfaction of getting my quite very own Dyna Hawk GX: Blackguard. It came in a kit, prepared to fly. Involved in the package was the helicopter, distant, AC adapter, rechargeable battery pack (Li-Po), 4 added blades (2 for just about every rotor), a smaller screwdriver (used for tightening blades and other repairs), instruction guide, and a sections record. The first matter i did when i opened the kit was pull out the Dyna Hawk GX. Soon after i had taken that out, looked it more than, and straightened the blades the right way, I ongoing by pulling the relaxation of the contents out to make sure every thing was there. When i was finished checking, I grabbed the manual and browse through it. Being that it was produced in China, the manual has both of those English and Chinese translations. Some of the guidelines were a little complicated, but all-in-all, it guided me via the method of finding all set to fly.
Following examining the manual, the up coming step is to cost the Li-Po battery and get hold of 8 AA batteries (not incorporated) for the remote. The remote alone has 2 thumb-sticks. Just one of the thumb-sticks controls the throttle or “carry”, and the turns the helicopter or controls the “route”. There is also 2 buttons underneath the throttle adhere that you use to “tune” your helicopter in flight. These buttons are employed to lessen the “spinning” and assistance your helicopter hover straight. (For further instruction, see the guide.)
After the battery is thoroughly charged, adhere to the directions to set up it on the base 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 put and flush, no wires hanging. After the battery is linked, the helicopter cockpit has a steady blinking gentle that reveals the Dyna Hawk is all set. You are now “virtually” ready for flight.
Install 8 AA batteries into you remote, screw on the antenna and increase it, then change on you remote. Generally retain the antenna extended all the way when in use. Not executing so could outcome in “reduction of reception” which would bring about you to shed management and crash. With both equally the battery mounted and your distant on, carefully ease the throttle stick ahead (up), creating both of those blades spin developing “elevate”. If your helicopter’s blades spin, you are ready to fly soon after a number of straightforward changes. (refer again to the guide for these adjustments.)
Right after the adjustments are produced, it is time to have some fun! The Dyna Hawk GX is an “indoor” electrical RC helicopter. It is not built for outside flight. My advice, (as very well as the producers) is to find a “huge-open up” indoor area in which to fly it in. A fantastic flight zone would be an indoor basketball court, free of charge of any obstructions. Staying impatient, and also thanks to lousy weather, i decided to try mine out in my dwelling home. ( i don’t advocate this and i will make clear why afterwards.)
At initial, it took me a though to get made use of to the throttle. The handbook implies accomplishing some training to get applied to the flight controls and has various various routines to master. I suggest accomplishing these if you are a very first time flyer. Once i bought utilized to the throttle, i was quickly ready to get the Dyna Hawk GX to hover about my living space. The turning reacts incredibly immediately, at times more than-turning, so feathering the “correct” thumb-stick is crucial. Also, make confident that there are no drafts, open up home windows, or vents on in your flight zone. The slightest breeze can bring about your Dyna Hawk GX to not fly properly and lose handle. With some observe, mastering the flight handle with the Dyna Hawk GX will come swiftly, and you will soon be flying around for the comprehensive charge of the battery.
Now, the rationale i recommend not traveling close to obstacles: Even though the Dyna Hawk GX is a rather well built RC helicopter, particularly for the price tag, it is not indestructible. Commonly, if you get rid of throttle, it will fall straight down and bounce off the ground with no considerably of a trouble. But, if you materialize to crash land into an object (allows say a sofa for instance), it can lead to injury. When i crashed into a couch, the blades strike it and i broke the plastic inner shaft piece. This section is what can make the bottom blades spin the similar velocity as the top and helps avoid spin of the full helicopter (acts as a tail rotor). If i hadn’t crashed into the sofa, no destruction would have been carried out. My slip-up. Fortuitously, a ton of “pastime outlets” carry spare for parts and this portion can be replaced for a minor investment. I personally chose an aluminum interior shaft piece so that this issue is considerably less possible to happen yet again. I also will now only fly in “obstacle no cost” locations with loads of area.
Bottom line, the Dyna Hawk GX is a great helicopter for newbie to intermediate flyer’s, ages 12 and up. The battery, totally billed, will past 10 – 15 minutes of reliable flight and also rates somewhat quickly. This would make waiting between flights shorter and gives you additional continuous enjoyable. It is one particular of the much better looking apache types and i have had numerous compliments on it by now. With right care and increased flight techniques, I am guaranteed that this particular electric powered RC helicopter will carry you a lot of satisfaction in excess of time. To make it final longer, always recharge the battery ideal immediately after flight exhaustion, and then give it 5 minutes before you consider flight yet again to let the motor great down. This will support protect against motor “burnout”. Also, never leave the battery uncharged for a prolonged period of time. Storing a Li-Po battery uncharged could induce it to be unable to hold a charge and success in obtaining to substitute the battery sooner than later. Batteries are not cheap. Occasionally air blast the Dyna Hawk GX down to get rid of any dust that could have attached to it. And often, generally fly in an spot entirely totally free of obstructions to lessen the chance of harm when you crash. Do these factors and the Dyna Hawk GX: Blackguard will keep on being a different fantastic addition to your arsenal of electric RC vehicles!
