NOTE: THE TRANSMITTER IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO BE
SWITCHED ON, AND THE LAST TO BE SWITCHED OFF!
PRE-FLIGHT CHECK
Before you switch ON your Whirlwind 3000 ALWAYS make sure to release the throttle control stick (left)
so the rotor blades do not start up unexpectedly when the Whirlwind 3000 is switched ON. Always follow
a safe start up procedure.
RADIO RANGE CHECK
Important Tip: Always perform a motor-check and radio-range check with the help of a friend or parent.
Doing so alone may cause the Whirlwind 3000 to get away from you and cause damage.
1) Make sure both the Whirlwind 3000 and transmitter power are ‘OFF’.
2) Make sure the throttle control stick is in the “down” (back) position.
3) Now turn ON the transmitter, and then turn ON the
Whirlwind 3000.
4) Have a friend/parent hold the base of the Whirlwind
3000’s fuselage with the rotors pointing away from him/
her and away from loose clothing.
5) Walk 25-ft away from Whirlwind 3000.
6) Check the motor and tail rotor controls as follows
Always remember to point the transmitter at the
Whirlwind 3000.
MOTOR CHECK
• Advance the throttle very slowly — The main blades should speed up.
• Move the throttle stick back — The main blades should slow down and then stop
when the stick is in the back position.
TAIL ROTOR CHECK
• Advance the throttle ¼ forward and hold it there.
• Move the right control stick to the right — The tail motor should speed up.
(This will spin the helicopter clockwise when in flight)
• Move the right control stick to the left — The tail motor should slow down.
(This will spin the helicopter counter-clockwise when in flight)
NOTE: It might be difficult for you to tell whether the tail motor is speeding up or slowing down. You
can also perform this check when you start to fly by moving the control stick and seeing which way
the helicopter spins after it has been trimmed correctly by following the directions on page 9.
7) Once this is complete turn the Whirlwind 3000 OFF and then turn OFF the
transmitter.
If your Whirlwind 3000 does not respond from 25 feet away, do NOT attempt to fly. Contact Megatech at
