SECTION A – MECHANIC ASSEMBLY
NOTE: A with any RC model helicopter, all fa tener in talled into metal part mu t u e blue
thread lock and all bearing in talled into metal bearing block mu t u e red bearing lock, wipe
off exce .
The Mechanic are prea embled and in talled into the mechanic . In order to mount the
electrical equipment, you have to unin tall the mechanic fir t.
1) Remove tail frame
a) Remove the crew that lock the tail frame cover in place. Remove tail cover, gently
unplug the connector for the po ition light . Then removethe two crew that hold the
main frame in pace a hown. Slide the mechanic fir t forward out of the tail bracket
that hold the main frame and then downward . Now you can pu h the mechanic
backward far enough to remove the tail rotor frame.
b) Remove the crew a hown from the tail frame and remove the tail ide frame a
hown including the bearing. Di connect the ervo linkage. Then pu h the other bearing
in the other ide frame out of it eat, only thi way you can relea e the tail belt
ten ion. Remove belt from pulley. Remove tail frame from tail boom by removing all
three crew .
2) Remove Mechanic
a) Now gently pull the mechanic out of the fu elage a hown.

SECTION B – INSTALLATION OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
1) In tall Motor
a) In tall Pinion gear on motor. Eventually add a flat
with a file to the motor haft for ecurity where the
grub crew engage the haft. Make ure the pinion
gear i in talled at the appropriate height to fully
engage the main gear.
b) In tall motor in main frame. Adju t the gear me h.
The tail boom holder doe have acce hole o
than an allen key can pa through it and acce the
motor holding crew .
2) In tall Cyclic Servo
a) In tall ball link on the ervo lever , the di tance
between ball link center and ervo haft hould be
at 12.5mm. In tall all three cyclic ervo a hown in
their mounting po ition . Plea e ee exhibit A tep
9 and 12. Eventually u e wa her , depending on the
ervo you are u ing to correct the mounting po ition.
b) Mount the main rotor head a how in exhibit A tep 5 and connect it to the wa h plate.
3) In tall Tail Servo
a) In tall ball link a hown in exhibit A tep 14 and 16 on the ervo lever, the di tance
between ball link center and ervo haft hould be at 12.5mm.
b) In tall ervo a hown in the proper po ition in the tail ervo holder.
4) In tall Gyro
Note: In order to fly thi helicopter properly, it i nece ary to connect a flybarle 3 axi gyro
unit between your receiver and the ervo . Flying thi helicopter with a ingle axi tail gyro
will lead to a very unpredictable and hard to control flying behavior. You mu tn´t u e other
equipment than flybarle 3 axi gyro . A 3 axi gyro i included with the optional electronic
et and al o eparately available. Yet any good 3 axi gyro for flybarle rotor head i
uitable for the u e on thi helicopter.
a) In tall the 3 axi gyro and connect all
ervo properly following the gyro
in truction manual. U e the foam tape
upplied with the gyro to in tall the gyro in
the marked area after you rein talled the
mechanic . It i not recommended to
in tall the gyro on the carbon fiber main
frame. Some gyro require a pecial etup
of two layer of foam tape to reduce
en itivity to vibration .
b) Connect the Gyro to the RX following the
gyro in truction manual.
5) In tall ESC
a) Solder the upplied battery connector prolonging wire to the ESC.

True Scale AS 350 Instruction Manual

b) Connect the motor to the ESC
c) Connect ESC to RX.
d) The ESC will have to be di connected from the motor and RX before in talling the
mechanic . Do not fix it with tape or zip tie for now.
SECTION C – ADJUSTMENTS AND ELECTRONIC SETUP
NOTE: The main rotor blade are matched by weight and marked a matched pair with ticker
A and B in order to di tingui h them. Plea e neither remove the ticker nor the balancing tape
tripe on the rotor blade . Plea e do not mount the rotor blade before you reach the according
tep in the a embly manual. Mount the rotor head and the ervo rod a hown in Exhibit A-5.
1) Servo Setup
a) Make ure that all ervo lever are mounted o that the ervo lever i rectangular to the
ervo hou ing while centered. You might have to power up the ervo to determine thi
po ition.
b) For the three cyclic ervo , it i important to match that when all three ervo are in their
center po ition , the wa h plate mu t be leveled and at it 0 degree CP po ition. Thi
equal a di tance between the lower edge of the wa hplate to the upper end of the
ervo upport of 10.5mm. Depending on the ervo you are u ing, the length of the
pu hrod might differ lightly from the ugge ted length below: ervo to L-lever
51.5mm, L-lever to wa hplate 34mm, wa hplate to blade grip 45mm, mea ured ball
link center to center.
c) Fir t of all, mount the tail rotor frame again which you di mounted in Section A-1 and
connect the tail ervo linkage. For the tail ervo, make ure that the ervo i producing 0
degree pitch on the tail rotor blade once in centered po ition.
2) Te t Motor
a) Di mount the rotor blade , if you have mounted them already. Plea e turn the motor
with your hand and check if the gear me hing between motor pinion and main gear i
appropriate. Make ure that the tail belt i ten ioned properly. The main rotor ha to pin
counter clockwi e if viewed from above the helicopter, the tail rotor blade have to pin
clockwi e if the viewed from the left ide. Then power up the motor via ESC and verify
that the motor doe pin in the proper direction (nothing will happen if it pin in the
wrong direction), eventually correct the direction.
3) Te t Gyro / RX Setup
a) In order to te t your gyro, plea e follow your gyro in truction manual. Gyro gain etting
and fine tuning ha to be done after the helicopter i in talled into the fu elage. Plea e
be advi ed that the wa h plate i a 140deg and not a 120deg CCPM.
b) If u ing the Roban 3 axi gyro, plea e u e the following parameter (online)
4) Te t TX
a) In order to te t your TX and the proper etup, plea e follow your radio control u er
manual. Fine tuning and trimming can be adju ted once the helicopter i in talled into
the fu elage. For now a mere reaction to your control input doe uffice.
SECTION D – INSTALLATION INTO THE FUSELAGE
1) Mechanic
a) Di mount the tail frame, a in Section A-1. If you in talled rotor blade and or rotor head,
remove them.
b) The ervo, ESC and and motor wiring area will be inacce ible once the mechanic are
in talled. Make ure you ecure all wire fir t. Then in tall the mechanic into the fu elage

again following the tep of Section A backward . Make ure that you in ert the neoprene
rubber dampener into the tail a hown before mounting the tail frame on the tail boom.
c) Check by turning the main with your hand if the mechanic operate moothly. Make ure
the tail rotor pin in the correct direction.
d) Connect the ESC, Gyro, Servo and receiver again.
2) Po ition light
a) Connect the LED po ition light plug with an AUX port on your RX. If your RX doe n´t
provide enough port , you have to Y-Wire the black and red line to the ESC Servo wire,
or your LED will not turn on.
b) Arrange all wire properly.
3) Battery
a) Make ure that the battery i alway ecured in the battery compartment. The helicopter
if the helicopter CG i off, u e fi hing lead under the cockpit to compen ate.
SECTION E – FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
1) TX Setup
a) Almo t all 3 axi gyro on the market require that you witch the CCPM mixing in ide
your radio control off and provide unmixed AIL; ELE and PIT input . That will be a 90
degree wa h plate program on mo t radio control .
b) For the throttle curve, Plea e program 0% at 0, 50% at 85, 100% lever po ition at 100%
throttle ignal.
c) For the pitch curve, plea e adju t it to -2deg at 0%, 5deg at 50% and 11deg at 100%
lever po ition. Plea e adju t thi with a pitch gauge.
2) Main Rotor Blade
a) Mount the rotor head again, and connect it to the wa h plate.

True Scale AS 350 Instruction Manual

b) You have to make ure that the timing of the rotor head i adju ted properly. The L
haped lever that keep the upper part of the wa h plate in track with the main haft
and can be adju ted by loo ening the et crew and turning it into the de ired po ition.
Plea e make ure that thi angle i correct or your helicopter will not fly traight and your
gyro will behave very unnormally.
c) Mount rotor blade . Make ure to adju t your main rotor blade tracking.
3) Te t fly
a) Carefully fly your helicopter outdoor at calm wind condition to check your etup. Adju t
your radio and gyro to fulfill your need .
b) After you are ure that all component are working perfectly, unmount the rotor head,
in tall the motor hatch a hown and mount the rotor head again.
4) Scale acce orie
a) Glue the cable cutter and antenna onto the fu elage. Do not u e cyanoacrylate
( econd glue), the fume of thi glue leave tain on painted urface .
b) There i a et of decal included, a well a a eparate heet which indicate the
location of the decal . If in doubt, plea e check online on how to in tall water decal on
cale model .
