fl ight battery with the battery charger enclosed. 2. If you have purchased an Eco 7 set without a transmitter, keep in mind that a standard-sized single conversion crystal (not included) still has to be inserted into the receiver (see. Chapter V.8 Remove Gigatronic).

Further claims such as for consequential damages are entirely excluded. No warranty claim will be accepted if the item or model has failed due to an accident, incompetent handling, alterations, incorrect or commercial use. The use of any non-Ikarus parts is voiding the warranty.
However, this should be performed only with the fl ight battery unplugged. 5. Affi x the fl ight battery inside the Eco 7 diagonally, using the rubber strap with the holes and pull it over the top of the battery and secure it to the pin provided for that purpose at the landing gear strut.
II. ECO 7 ELECTRONICS All operating parameters are saved inside the GigaTronic of the ECO 7. This ensures that every model, indepen- dent of the transmitter, (most transmitters of other manufacturers can be used as well) has its optimal operating environment, eliminating the complex task of setting up the transmitter .

When replacing the rotor blades or after prolonged operation of the ECO 7, it may become necessary to adjust the blade tracking. Slowly accelerate and increase the turning speed to the point when the ECO 7 is just about to take off, but does not.
Turn on the transmitter fi rst, and then plug in the charged battery. Next put down the ECO 7 with its front (nose) facing the wind and away from you. Then accelerate slowly until the copter starts “fl oating” on the fl oor, that is, until it gets lighter.
