15Once you have learned the knack of taking off briskly, maintai-ning a given height, and landing softly, it is time to practise theroll, pitch-axis and yaw functions. During these flights keep thetail facing you at all times.It is important to keep your model in one position at first; try tokeep it in the same position and attitude as after take-off.CAUTION: land the model immediately when the flight bat-tery is almost flat. For example: when the GALAXY VISI-TOR 3 cannot climb higher than 0.5 metres. Don't fly themodel again until you have given the flight battery a fullcharge.Remove the flight battery from the model immediately after lan-ding, and switch the transmitter off.If your model crashes after colliding with an obstacle, it is es-sential to check for damage caused by the impact before you flyagain.Please don't leave the flight battery in the model when you arenot actually flying it. Never discharge the battery completely, asdeep-discharging can ruin it. If you do not intend to fly the modelfor a long period, it is best to remove the dry cells from the trans-mitter too.Brake functionThe GALAXY VISITOR 3 features an automatic brake function.If you abruptly release the roll / pitch-axis stick while the modelis flying forward, its forward speed is automatically reduced. Thisfunction can be very useful in avoiding collisions with obstacles.Practice flyingThe flying fieldThe model should only ever be flown in a suitable environmentsuch as an indoor flying hall, devoid of obstacles. If you wish tofly the quadrocopter in the open air, please note that there shouldbe no wind, and no trees, high-tension cables or other obstaclesin the vicinity.Practising with the modelCheck the model and the radio control system, then switchthe transmitter on, followed by the model.Place the GALAXY VISITOR 3 on the ground about two metresin front of you, and check that its tail is facing you.Cautiously move the throttle stick forward until the model lifts off.Allow the copter to rise briskly to a height of about 0.5 metres,and try to keep it motionless. If the model is unstable, uncon-trollable or vibrates, reduce the throttle again immediately andland the GALAXY VISITOR 3.If you are a beginner, we recommend that you keep to a heightof about 0.5 metres during the first few flights. Please do not flylower than 0.3 metres, because the model will then be in ground-effect, which is caused by the downflow of air from the rotors.This effect makes it more difficult to fly the machine smoothly. Itis also important not to fly too high, as any unintended crash willthen result in more serious damage.Operating Instructions - GALAXY VISITOR 3 RTF FTR 2.4 GHz No. NE2529M2No. NE2529M1
