Wiring Connections

Having installed the servos, receiver and the gyro (all

purchased separately), now make the final connections.

Be careful when installing the motor connectors to the

electronic mixer control board to verify the polarity is

correct for the red wire and black wire on the small con-

nectors. Mount the mixer control board in the cavity of

the main frame after all the connections have been made

using servo tape. Using the cable ties, route and arrange

the servo wires in a clean bundle, making sure that none

of the wires touch the gyro mounted in the front or back.

Leave the power connector long enough to make the

battery connection.

Antenna Mounting

The last important wire to route is the antenna, it is vital that the antenna wire is isolated from all the other wires and motors on the

helicopter. Install the antenna along the bottom of the frame, making sure it does not touch another wire and that it does not cross

itself. Run the end of the antenna out to the horizontal fin, attaching it with a small elastic or piece of tape.

Starting the helicopter for the first time.

Turn the transmitter on first. While making the battery connection, ensure that the rotor blades will not touch yourself or

anything on the work surface. After the battery is connected, wait for 5 seconds for the control board and gyro to initialize, the red

LED on the gyro will stop blinking. If the throttle stick in not at the lowest position, the LED will remain solid red. The LED must

change to green to start the motors. While firmly holding the landing skids, slowly lift the throttle stick to turn the main blades

slowly, stopping at half stick (50% power). If the blades do not turn and the LED is red, lower the throttle stick, disconnect the

battery and change the position of the Servo Reversing function for the throttle channel on the radio. Repeat the procedure. If the

LED blinks from red to green there is no signal from the radio.

*If the LED WILL NOT change to green on radios with endpoint adjustments, increase the travel percentage on the throttle channel.

1. Connect battery

Wait 5 seconds for LEDs on the

hummingboard and gyro to stop flashing.

Do not move helicopter until LEDs are

solid.

2. Solid green LED Hummingboard functioning properly.

Throttle stick must be moved to low stick,

3. Solid red LED

then raised slightly to change to green LED.

Ok to fly.

During regular operation the Hummingboard will remain solid green but as the battery starts to run out and the voltage drops the helicopter will simply

descend, it is best to land immediately. On helicopter radios that have revolution mixing, either inhibit the function or set the revolution mixing amounts

to 0 (zero) percentage. Also remove any rudder offsets, or tail curves if available on the radio. The Hummingboard is designed to automatically add tail

rotor into the main rotor to compensate for increased torque as the throttle is advanced.

Battery mounting

Insert the battery into position by

sliding the battery holders along the

horizontal rails to clamp in place.

Press the rubber stoppers to secure

the top and the rubber band at the

bottom. Pickup the Hummingbird by

the flybar and position the battery

until the helicopter hangs level or

slightly nose heavy.

Install the canopy by inserting the front cutouts over

the front landing gear struts and press the rubber

grommets onto the horizontal canopy mount on the

Throttle stick is moved to low stick, but LED

will not change to green. Use endpoint

adjustment to expand low stick position.

Disconnect and repeat steps 1-2.
