Default RE: WALKERA 37

Forget about the DIPS ok.. They will not do what you want.

DIP 10 is the PIT lock and you should leave the default value (OFF).

WHY? DIP 10 is the memory for the PIT settings. if you set it on,

you are telling the remote control to remember the current settings

until you turn it off and switch it back. This process requires adjustment

as stated in manual..so DONT MESS WITH IT!

You are going to need more than 60% of throttle to lift
the copter of the ground to a hieght were the back draft
of the blades won't effect your hover. 60% of throttle makes for
copter handle very poorly at best.

1st start with V1 and V2 in the center position. Don't mess with
that yet , casue it wont help you. Your flight knowledge with this
unit is poor ...so leave the original setting so that
when you have a problem, you will know that it did not
come from messing around with the settings.

Adjust the blade pitch to a level recommended.
This totally depends on your unit.. On mine I have
it adjusted to 8 degress, and with the stock motor
and lipo battery , half way thru the throttle, my unit begins
to lift.

But then again, to much pitch can cause a yaw problem, (your tail rotating clockwise )
and to much pitch will shorten your fly time, cause air makes more
resistance on the blades..

This is a delicate balance. To little pitch and the copter wont lift or acts sluggish (not very responsive)
and most of all, make sure your main blades are tight. ( you dont want loose main blades( it causes
the unit to wabble in the air)) ( do not over tighten the neither.. just enough for them not to move on its own).

And one more thing.. MAKE SURE YOUR SWASH PLATE IS LEVELED. Beleive me, if your swash plate is not
level, the minute you lift, it will go to into that direction. A Leveled swash plate makes for a perfect vertical
take off. .

Use training gear at all time.

Good luck.
