Safety Instructions
OPERATING YOUR MODEL SAFELY
Operate the helicopter in spacious areas with no people nearby.
! Warning: Do NOT operate the helicopter in the following places and situations
(or else you risk severe accidents):
in places where children gather or people pass through
in residential areas and parks
indoors and in limited space
in windy weather or when there is any rain, snow, fog or other precipitation
If you do not observe these instructions you may be held reliable for personal injury or property damage!
Always check the R/C system prior to operating your helicopter.
When the R/C system batteries get weaker, the operational range of the R/C system decreases. Note that you
may lose control of your model when operating it under such conditions.
Keep in mind that other people around you might also be operating a R/C model.
Never use a frequency which someone else is using at the same time. Radio signals will be mixed and you will
lose control of your model.
If the model shows irregular behavior, bring the model to a halt immediately. Turn off all power switches and
disconnectthebatteries.Investigate the reason and fixtheproblem.Do not operate the modelagainaslong as the
problem is not solved, as this may lead to further trouble and unforeseen accidents.
! Warning: In order to prevent accidents and personal injury, be sure to observe the following:
Beforeflyingthe helicopter, ensure thatall screwsare tightened.Asingle loose screwmaycause amajor accident.
Replace all broken or defective parts with new ones, as damaged parts lead to crashes.
Never approach a spinning rotor. Keep at least 10 meters/yards away from a spinning rotor blades.
Do not touch the motor immediately after use. It may be hot enough to cause burns.
Perform all necessary maintenance.
PRIOR TO ADJUSTING AND OPERATING YOUR MODEL, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
!Warning:Operate the helicopter only outdoors and out of people’s reach as the main rotor operates at high rpm!
! Warning: While adjusting, stand at least 10 meters/yards away from the helicopter!
Novice R/C helicopter pilots should always seek advice from experienced pilots to obtain hints with assembly
and for pre-flight adjustments. Note that a badly assembled or insufficiently adjusted helicopter is a safety hazard!
In the beginning, novice R/C helicopter pilots should always be assisted by an experienced pilot and never fly
alone!
Throttle channel should be in motor OFF position while powering up.
When switching the R/C system ON or OFF, always proceed in the following order:
When switching ON:
Position the throttle control stick (on transmitter) to a position where the LOGO 10 motor does not operate.
Turn on the transmitter.
Turn on the receiver.
Connect the motor battery.
Operate your model.
When switching OFF:
Turn off the motor (move throttle control to a position where motor does not operate).
Wait until the rotor head has stopped spinning.
Disconnect the motor battery.
Turn off receiver.
Turn off transmitter.

3 Motor Installation
3.1 Motor Adaptor Plate
Bag 1
Some electric motors (e.g. Kontro-
nik, Plettenberg, Speed 700 Neody-
me motors) are constructed such
that they cannot be moved along the
motor plate. If you are using one of
these motors, please use the motor
adaptor plate #2499.The plate is not
needed for Hacker motors.
Please check from the Mikado
website which pinion works best with
the motorset you have (on
www.mikado-heli.de go to LOGO 10
and click “Motorization”). When a
wrong pinion is chosen, the perfor-
mance of your electric helicopter will
deteriorate and the motor or speed
controller can be damaged.
Donottightenthesetscrewfullyuntil
the final position of the pinion on the
motor shaft is determined. This is
done after installing the main gear.
There are two options for attaching
thepinion:
1. For securing the pinion, you may
flatten the motor shaft where the set
screwmeets the motor shaft -without
making a flat surface on the motor
shaft.
2. Alternatively, you may screw the
set screw directly onto the motor
shaft. For this it is required that the
set screw has an appropriate rim for
engaging the motorshaft (all Mikado
pinionshavethisrim).Note,however,
that after attaching the set screw
once,the rimbecomesbluntandmay
not be used again.

Shouldyou have difficultymounting
the 2x8 mm pin, carefully tap it with a
rubber hammer, or use a vice. The
5x10x4 bearings can also be moun-
tedon the rotor shaft using a vice and
tapping the shaft softly with a rubber
hammer. If the tail rotor shaft shows
axial play after closing the two hal-
ves of the tail rotor case, use one or
two of the 5x10x0.1 washers which
are included in the bag.

It is important that the tail pitch pla-

misalignment,the control sleeve may
be deformed. The mounted tail pitch
plate should be able to move on the
tail rotor shaft with little resistance.

Note that the two tail rotor pushrod

The tail boom has two round cut-
