INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for the purchase of great product! It is our sole desire for
you to enjoy the quality workmanship and performance of any of our helicopters. We
believe we have the latest designs and technology incorporated into our model
helicopters. Our CNC parts are produced using the best high density materials &
anodized using material hardening finishes with the tightest of tolerances. Our new
helicopters feature the latest advances in R/C helicopter design. The simple and
mechanically superior EMS design (also known as CCPM) ensures a helicopter that will
be more responsive and more stable than any other R/C helicopter you have ever
flown. In the GasHer, three servos are attached in a push-pull system ensuring precise
control. Frames are specially designed with “floating system” engine mounting. This
new design eliminates most engine vibrations. The GasHer kit comes in 2 versions:
Sport with G-10 composite frames, and Pro with carbon fiber composite frames. Each
frame is 3mm thick offering the utmost in rigidity and strength. This helicopter features a
separately purchased kit allowing the owner to change the helicopter from a belt-
powered tail rotor to a torque-tube-drive system. The owner may also purchase the
helicopter initially with the torque-tube-drive system. Along with great products, our staffs
are RC guys that fly and have hands on experience with total manufacturing & testing of
our helicopters. In addition, we stand behind all our products 100% with satisfaction
guaranteed. Our kits will be shipped 100% complete and we can assure you that once
you fly your helicopter you will love it.
The Gas-Her
We believe you hold in your hands one of the best helicopters manufactured in the world
today. The brand new Gas-Her is the newest version of our Big Gas Quick line. It
has bigger, stronger frames and is a powerful machine. This baby delivers amazing
power smoothly throughout the entire range of its gas engine. Its functions are very
responsive and stable. The Gas-Her Pro version features a fully machined
dual-spindle head, metal tail rotor, metal grips, carbon fiber frames, bigger carbon rudder
push rod, carbon linkage rods, and carbon fiber boom supports. The Gas-Her
Sport version features a G10 fiberglass frame, fully machined metal head,
carbon boom supports, carbon rudder push rod, and molded tail blade grips. Our
helicopters are carefully designed and tested, and manufactured of the highest quality
materials available.
In a short time, you can be flying.
We ask that you please read the entire manual before starting the construction of the
Gas-Her, and if you have any questions our technical support staff can be reached
at [phone] M-F 9-6, S 9-4 Eastern time,
or by email at [email protected].

FEATURES
Gas-Her
1. Frame Construction: Gas-Her frames are made of the highest quality Carbon Fiber
or Black G-10. These frames are not only thick and rigid but will provide excellent vibration
absorption.
2. One-Way Hex Start Shaft System:The one-way bearing allows the engine to
continue to run after the starter motor has been stopped.
3. Constant Tail Rotor Drive System: provides full tail authority during motor off
maneuvers.
4. Belt Driven/Torque Tube Tail: Smooth, reliable, and low maintenance.
5. High Quality Ball Bearings: Gas-Her offers high quality ball bearings on all
moving parts.
6. EMS Collective System:The EMS Collective design allows ease of setup with
fewer moving parts. EMS demonstrates overall design simplicity and represents the future of
helicopter technology.
7. Heavy-Duty Clutch System: Based on the same design as our famous heavy-
duty clutch upgrade that fits most popular machines, this clutch will give many years of problem
free operation.
7. Control Linkages: The control linkages are high quality 2.3mm stainless steel rods
with Delrin® acetal resin rod ends. Pro version comes with 2.5mm carbon rods.
8. Floating Engine Mount: rigid but flexible, will absorb most of vibration.
9. Advanced Airfoil Fly-bar Paddles: These paddles will provide the best flight
characteristics for both 3D & Sport flying: Smooth forward flight, with quick response upon
demand.
10. Rearward facing Engine Design: This design provides quick access to the
glow plug and is advantageous for easy engine removal.
11. Heavy-Duty Bearing Blocks: Bearing Blocks are specially designed for this
model. They couple to high quality bearings to carry and support all high speed moving
operations.

PRE-ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
Warning
The radio-controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a toy.
Rather, it is a sophisticated piece of equipment. This product is not recommended for
use by children without adult supervision. Radio controlled models such as this are
capable of causing both property damage and/or bodily harm to both the
operator/assembler and spectators if not properly assembled and operated. Hobbies &
Helis assumes no liability for damage that could occur from the mis-assembly and/or
use/misuse of this product.
Academy of Model Aeronautics
We strongly encourage all prospective and current R/C aircraft pilots to join the
Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a non-profit organization that provides
services to model aircraft pilots. As an AMA member, you will receive a monthly
magazine entitled Model Aviation, as well as a liability insurance plan to cover against
possible accident or injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require individuals to hold a
current AMA sporting license prior to the operation of their model. For further information,
please contact AMA at:

Before you begin
Quick Helicopter kits are packaged with care and attention to detail. We recommend
when you are ready to begin building this model that you examine the kit carefully,
inspect the contents of each package, and read and understand these instructions
thoroughly before starting assembly. It is suggested that you purchase a parts box for
the small fasteners and hardware, or use small bowls or other containers.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
Radios:
Any radio that supports EMS/CCPM Mixing will work fine. Hobbies & Helis & its
distributors carry various lines of helicopter radios.
Note: Please consult the instruction for your Gyro for setting the overall travel
and limits to ensure proper operation and travel of Tail Pitch Slider.
Servos:
Any sport servo will offer acceptable performance. However, because servos
operate all critical functions of the helicopter, they can be the single most
important component that contributes to proper function of the helicopter. Due to
the nature of EMS collective, we suggest the use of digital servos to enhance
and ensure matched servo timing without servo interaction.
Locktite Warning (CRITICAL):
This is a general warning about the use of Locktite and its
importance. Locktite must be used anywhere that a metal
fastener i.e. (M2, M3, M4 Cap Head Bolts, Set Screws etc.) is
threaded into a metal part i.e. (Bearing Blocks, Cross-members,
etc.). Failure to use Locktite can result in loosening of critical
operating components, loss of control of the model, and can
lead to a crash.
