Post-Takeoff Checks - Yamaha RMAX Type II G Unit Operation Manual

Flying Procedure

Post-Takeoff Checks

Perform the following checks:
1 While the helicopter is hovering, make sure the
helicopter behaves normally in response to the
operations of the sticks.
2 When the sticks are kept still in their neutral posi-
tion while the helicopter is hovering, the helicop-
ter will drift front-and-back and side-to-side,
depending on wind conditions. If the helicopter
drifts constantly in one direction, land it in a safe
area to make fine adjustments at the trim lever of
the transmitter.
For the first flight of the day, allow the heli-
copter to hover for 1 or 2 minutes while the
engine warms up, and check that the helicop-
ter operates normally. Failure to do so will
prevent the engine from attaining the proper
power, which could lead to an accident.
After takeoff, turn the GPS control switch ON
while hovering. If this switch was ON during
takeoff, turn it OFF while hovering, and turn it
back ON.
