INSTALLATION

The Walkera 22e 3D (22e 3D) is a Ready-to-Fly Electric
Helicopter. All you need to do is check the blade tension and install the
battery. The battery has been partially charged at the factory and should
have enough power to perform the initial flight check and trimming.
Please make sure the battery pack has been fully charged before
performing 3D aerobatic maneuvers or fast forward flight.

1. The main rotor blades are attached at the factory. Before flight make
sure that the blades are tight, but still free enough to straighten out
when they spin. If they are too loose the blades may wobble and
make the 22e 3D unstable during flight.
2. To install the battery, disassemble the canopy by gradually pulling the
rubber grommets off the horizontal mount bar.
3. Plug in the supplied wall charger and attach the battery pack.
Caution: The battery will be fully charged in about 2 hours if it’s
completely discharged. Do not overcharge! Overcharging the battery
will cause serious damage or may cause the battery to explode! The
battery has finished charging when it is warm to the touch. If the
battery gets hot during charging, discontinue charging immediately
and disconnect the battery from the charger. Never leave the battery
unattended while charging. If you are unsure of how to charge this
battery, please contact Venom Air Corps or seek the advice of your
local hobby shop. Never let children charge batteries without adult
supervision.
4. To install the battery, slide the battery under the O-rings on the bottom
of the aluminum chassis plate, behind the motor. If the battery feels
loose, wrap the O-ring around one of the chassis lugs a second time
to remove any slack. (Fig. a)
5. Reinstall the canopy by pushing the two rubber grommets onto the
horizontal mount bar and insert the cutouts over the front landing skid
struts.
6. To adjust the center of gravity, position the flybar at a 90 degree angle
to the tail boom. Pick up the 22e 3D by the flybar and position the
battery so that the tail boom is parallel to the floor. (Fig. b) .

BLADE TRCKING

Blade tracking is a crucial component to the proper flight characteristics
of your 22e 3D. If the blades do not track properly (if they do not follow
the same path when they are spinning) they can create vibrations,
instability and drag on the motor which will create a loss in power. The
tracking has been set at the factory but may need some minor
adjustment to optimize it. The blade tracking should be checked before
every flight or after any changes or repairs have been made.

Check the Tracking:
To check the tracking of the blades, the battery must be installed, the
gyro initiated and the two different colored blade tracking decals placed
on each blade tip. Place the 22e 3D on an elevated stable surface so
that you can view the blades at eye level. Make sure you are a safe
distance from the blades when applying the throttle. As you bring the
blades up to speed use the colored tracking decals to note which blade is
tracking lowest (Fig. c). Power down the 22e 3D and adjust the pitch of
the low blade by altering the length of the control link in one turn
increments. Turn the conrtrol link so that it starts to lengthen, bringing the
blade up. Tightening the control link will cause the blade to go down.
After each adjustment, check the tracking and readjust as necessary until
the blades track as close to even as possible.

ADJUSMENT & TUNNING

[i]Attention:
Before connecting the battery to the control board, you must
confirm the following settings:
A. The crystals on the transmitter and receiver must match each
other.
B. Antenna is screwed in and extended, batteries are fully
charged and transmitter has been turned on.
C. The throttle stick (RIGHT CONTROL STICK) must be located in
the throttle down position, otherwise serious damage to the
22e 3D and personal injury may occur!
D. Make sure the 3D Mode switch is in the Normal Mode Position.[/i]

Mode I - Europe & Australia

1. After the battery is connected, the red indicator light on the heli
control board will start blinking rapidly for 5-10 seconds, which
indicates that the control board and gyro are initializing. This
process is for self-adjustment of the system. DO NOT TOUCH
THE 22e 3D WHEN THE GYRO IS INITIALIZING! Once initialized,
the indicator light will be a solid red light. If the light does not blink after
the battery is connected, please check that you have switched on the
transmitter and that the battery has been fully charged. NOTE: If the
throttle stick is not in the Throttle Down position when the battery is
connected, the gyro will still initialize but the throttle stick will not be
active until it is returned to the Throttle Down position.

2. If the main rotor blades start rotating, and the right control stick has not
been pushed forward, slowly adjust the transmitter trim (3) (see
picture) until they stop rotating. If the tail blades start rotating, carefully
adjust the transmitter (1) trim until they stop operating or rotate slowly.

3. Test the flight controls to make sure they are operating properly and will
move the swash plate in the direction you want to fly. Push the left control
stick forward and the swash plate will tilt forward. Push the right control
stick to the right and the swash plate will tilt to the right.

4. Push the right control stick slightly forward, keep your fingers, eyes and
other objects well away from the rotating parts. When the main rotor
blades start rotating, the tail blades should start rotating simultaneously.
5. Slowly push the right control stick forward to increase rotor speed. The
22e 3D may not take off vertically; it may go forward or backwards, left
or right. Use trim sliders (2) & (4) to fine tune the VNR 3D while hovering.
You may also find the heli’s nose will swing to the left or right side when
you increase (1).


Mode II - NORTH AMERICA

1. After the battery is connected, the red indicator light on the heli
control board will start blinking rapidly for 5-10 seconds, which
indicates that the control board and gyro are initializing. This
process is for self-adjustment of the system. DO NOT TOUCH
THE 22e 3D WHEN THE GYRO IS INITIALIZING! Once initialized,
the indicator light will be a solid red light. If the light does not blink after
the battery is connected, please check that you have switched on the
transmitter and that the battery has been fully charged. NOTE: If the
throttle stick is not in the Throttle Down position when the battery is
connected, the gyro will still initialize but the throttle stick will not be
active until it is returned to the Throttle Down position.

2. If the main rotor blades start rotating, and the left control stick has not
been pushed forward, slowly adjust the transmitter trim (2) (see
picture) until they stop rotating. If the tail blades start rotating, carefully
adjust the transmitter (1) trim until they stop operating or rotate slowly.

3. Test the flight controls to make sure they are operating properly and will
move the swash plate in the direction you want to fly. Push the right
control stick forward and the swash plate will tilt forward. Push the right
control stick to the right and the swash plate will tilt to the right.

4. Push the left control stick slightly forward, keep your fingers, eyes and
other objects well away from the rotating parts. When the main rotor
blades start rotating, the tail blades should start rotating simultaneously.

5. Slowly push the left control stick forward to increase rotor speed. The
22e 3D may not take off vertically; it may go forward or backwards, left
or right. Use trim sliders (3) & (4) to fine tune the VNR 3D while hovering.
You may also find the heli’s nose will swing to the left or right side when
you increase throttle. In this case, you need to adjust the transmitter trim (1)
.

ADJUSMENT & TUNNING II Part

6. The 22e 3D is equipped with a gyro that controls the RPM of the tail
rotor to compensate for main rotor torque. To adjust the sensitivity of the
gyros effect, use a micro flat blade screwdriver to rotate the Limit and
Delay Adjustment Pot (Fig. d).

Limit Adjustment Pot:
The Limit Adjustment Pot adjusts how fast the tail rotor rotates the heli
around its axis. If the rotation is slow, turn the Limit Adjustment Pot
clockwise to increase the speed of the rotation. If it is too fast, turn the
adjustment pot counterclockwise to slow the rotation. NOTE: The speed
should be adjusted to suit flying styles and ability. Beginner pilots should
learn with a slower tail response to keep them from over controlling the
tail.

Delay Adjustment Pot:
The Delay Adjustment Pot adjusts the Gyro Gain or how fast the gyro
reacts to what the heli is doing and how fast it corrects and counteracts
the torque from the main motor. Turn the Delay Adjustment Pot
clockwise to increase the sensitivity or counterclockwise to decrease the
sensitivity of the gyro. If the gyro gain is to high the tail will twitch from
side to side and make the heli difficult to control. If the gyro gain is too
low the tail will swing to the right when gaining altitude but will slowly
correct in hover. When correctly set, the tail should remain solid with no
tail swing and should have crisp tail movement.

NOTE: A properly set
gyro can be the difference between a fun flying experience and a
lot of frustration.

7. Pitch And Throttle Adjustment Dials: (Fig. e)

Pitch Adjustment Dial:
As throttle input increases in the Normal Flight mode, the Cyclic
Collective Pitch Mixing (CCPM) system automatically adds pitch to the
blades to help lift the heli off the ground. The amount of pitch and how
fast it is added can affect the flight characteristics of the 22e 3D. You
can adjust the amount of added pitch using the Pitch Adjustment Dial. A
lower pitch setting makes the 22e 3D’s flight characteristics more
docile. A higher pitch setting will give the heli a more aggressive flight
characteristic. Beginning pilots should learn with a medium to docile
pitch setting.

Throttle Adjustment Dial:
The Throttle Adjustment Dial works in much the same way as the Pitch
Adjustment Dial but it controls the head speed (RPM of the blades)
instead of pitch input. A higher head speed will make the cyclic controls
more responsive to stick inputs but it will shorten the flight time. A slower
head speed will make the helicopter more docile.
NOTE: If you increase the amount of pitch, you must also increase
the amount of throttle to keep the heli from “bogging� and feeling
sluggish.

Transmitter DIP Switches:

8. If you have completed all of the previous set up steps and your model
still does not seem to respond correctly, double check the DIP switches
on the back of the transmitter to make sure they are in the correct
positions. Using the switch diagram (Fig. f), make sure the first 4 dip
switches are in the correct positions. If the heli still does not respond
correctly, please do not hesitate to seek the assistance of your local
Hobby Shop or call our Customer Service Department at 800-705-0620.

9. You have now finished checking all the settings and adjustments.
Pull the throttle stick to the Throttle Down position and disconnect
the battery from the control board first, then turn the transmitter’s
power off. Never turn the transmitter off before disconnecting the
battery as the 22e 3D may become uncontrollable.

NOTE!
Proper Blade Tracking is crucial to a proper flying Collective Pitch Heli.
Refer to the Blade Tracking Instructions on before flying your
22e 3D for the first time or after any repairs or adjustments. Blades that
are not tracking properly can lead to irradic and unstable flying.

CONTROLING THE WALKERA 22e

The principle of flying:

The 22e 3D is a 3D Aerobatic CP Heli that utilizes direct CCPM to
control cyclic and pitch inputs. The cyclic control system consists of
servos, swashplate, stabilizer and main rotor blades. Their pitch angle is
varied cyclically by the servos via the swashplate. This action tilts the
rotational plane of the flybar paddles, and thereby the main rotor and the
swashplate. The CCPM system on the 22e 3D uses three channels
(servos) to transfer control inputs to the swashplate. To make sure the
control input forces are distributed evenly to the swashplate, the three
servo control points are evenly spaced 120º apart. Unlike Fixed Pitch
Helis that climb and descend by varying the speed of the rotor blades
(more or less throttle), a Collective Pitch Heli uses a constant rotor speed
and varies the pitch (angle) of the blades to climb and descend. In 3D
mode (explained later in this manual), the 22e 3D can change blade
pitch positively and negatively to allow it to fly inverted and perform other
aerobatic maneuvers. Like most conventional helis, the 22e 3D always
rotates around its vertical axis and the tail rotor counteracts this
unwanted rotation by producing thrust in the lateral directions. The tail
rotor’s thrust can be varied purposely in order to change the 22e 3D’s
heading. There are two basic functions required to control the 22e 3D:
(1) climbing and descending is controlled by altering the pitch of the
blades, (2) rotation around the vertical axis is controlled through the
thrust of the tail rotor by varying its rotational speed. However, you must
also be able to steer the 22e 3D forwards and backwards and to both
sides. This task is carried out by the cyclic control system. If the
swashplate inclines forwards, the plane of the flybar paddles also inclines
forwards. The result is that the thrust of the rotor is directed slightly
towards the rear instead of vertically, and the 22e 3D responds by
moving in the forward direction. There are four control functions of the
control system, and we need all of them to properly fly the 22e 3D.

Flying Environments:
The 22e 3D will fly in a spacious room without any obstacles or outdoors
with calm winds up to 5-7 mph. Make sure that the air is calm. Drafts
caused by open windows or doors should be avoided. We recommend
learning in a room with a flat, smooth floor on which the 22e 3D can
slide and where the air is calm. Soft carpet is not a good choice for flying,
because it could hook the skid of the 22e 3D and cause damage.
Attention: Errors and carelessness in assembling and flying the
Walkera 22e 3D can result in serious personal injury and
damage to property. Never touch the spinning rotor blades or any
other exposed moving parts.

Operation Procedures:
1. Place the 22e 3D in the middle of the room, you should always stand
at least 6 ft (2m) from the VNR 3D and behind the tail. Make sure that
your 22e 3D and transmitter have been assembled properly and
adjusted completely. Switch the transmitter on, then connect the
fully charged battery to let the gyro initiate. Once the gyro initiates,
check once more that the servos are operating correctly before
proceeding.

2. Now you are ready to start learning to fly. The control diagrams on the
next two pages will help you trim and fly the heli.

3. Initially you do not need to worry about how to operate your 22e 3D
skillfully. Through practice, you will become more confident operating
the controls and adjusting the throttle. When your fingers respond to
the movements of the 22e 3D spontaneously, you are ready for more
advanced flying. Please note that the directions described on this
page are if you are facing the tail of the 22e 3D. If you are facing the
nose left and right will be reversed as your right is now the 22e 3D’s
left.

CONTROLING THE WALKERA 22e PART II

4. Push the throttle up gradually until the 22e 3D starts to become light.
The 22e 3D may initially swing to the left when you increase throttle.
This is because of the thrust of the tail rotor and the rotation of the
main rotor (this is an unavoidable deviation during take off). Open the
throttle gradually until the 22e 3D becomes light, and then carefully
move the throttle stick further until it is ready to lift off. Observing the
22e 3D’s response, correct any movement using the corresponding
trim settings if necessary. Do not lift off the ground until you are
confident that you have set the trims correctly. Don’t fly too high,
keep its height below one meter (3 ft.) off the floor. If there is any
instability or shaking or if the heli is out of control, please land at once.
The only thing that helps at this stage is to practice and then practice
some more.

5. Try to control the 22e 3D using the smallest possible corrective
commands. The sooner you notice a movement and respond to it,
the smaller the corrective measures are required, and the smaller the
flying deviation. Be patient as it does take time to learn all the
required skills to control the 22e 3D. All successful pilots have
mastered the skill of flying through lots of practice.

6. Once your flying time increases and you are capable of controlling
your 22ex3D in the air, you can slowly increase its height off the
ground. The 22e 3D will become more stable as it is flown a little
higher, this is because it leaves its own down thrust turbulence. If you
fly the 22e 3D in a small room you may find that after a short time it
flies unevenly and unpredictably. This is because the 22e 3D quickly
moves the air in the room and creates a turbulent environment, if this
occurs land and take a break for a minute, the air will calm down
quickly. When you are able to control the 22e 3D smoothly at 3
meters high and can vary the attitude, you are now ready for
advanced flying!

7. You might like to try flying the 22e 3D outdoors or set up a flying
course to test your skill (set up your flying course with soft material
such as cushions so you don’t damage the heli if you lose control).
You can also practice with the nose of the heli facing you, just
remember that your left and right will now be reversed! Try these
three flying box patterns to practice your advanced flying skills:


i. With the tail towards you, fly the 22e 3D in a box pattern. Slide the
heli sideways, forwards and backwards instead of using the tail rotor
to turn.

ii. Repeat the box pattern facing the side of the heli. Practice flying
from both sides.

iii. Repeat the box pattern with the front of the heli facing you.

iv. Once you master the box patterns, try flying a figure 8 pattern.

3D Aerobatic Flying

Note: You should master basic flying skills BEFORE attempting 3D
aerobatic flying!

Now that you have mastered the basic flying skills, it’s time to learn some
aerobatic maneuvers. When learning to fly 3D maneuvers, altitude is
extremely important. If a problem occurs, the more altitude you have, the
more time you’ll have to correct and recover.

3D Flying Mode:
To fly aerobatic maneuvers, the heli must be in 3D Flight Mode. The
Flight Mode toggle switch located in the upper right of the transmitter
switches between Normal and 3D flight modes (Fig. g). In Normal Flight
Mode, the first 50% of the throttle movement is for spooling up the rotor
head. As throttle input passes the 50% mark, the CCPM system
gradually increases the pitch of the blades to create lift and get the heli
into the air. NOTE: All flying in the Normal Flight mode will occur
above 50% throttle. Landing will also occur in the Normal Flight
Mode. In the 3D Flight Mode, the throttle stick function switches from
controlling the throttle to controlling the pitch angle of the rotor blades.
The 22e 3D must be flying to switch into the 3D Flight Mode so
therefore, you should only switch into the 3D Flight Mode when the
throttle input is 50% or higher. When the heli is in the 3D Flight Mode, the
CCPM system will hold the motor at a constant RPM. The throttle stick is
now controlling pitch. At 50% throttle stick, the blades will have 0% pitch
(they will be flat). Increasing the throttle input above 50% will add positive
pitch to the blades and generate more lift. Decreasing the throttle input
below 50% will add negative pitch to the blades and force the heli down
when flying upright. Understanding this factor is key to successful 3D
flight. There are very few instances where you will use negative pitch
while flying upright but when you are inverted, less throttle stick will
create more negative pitch, which translates into positive pitch (because
you’re upside down) and the 22e 3D will gain altitude.

3D Aerobatic Flying Part II

3D Maneuvers:
There are many advanced aerobatic 3D maneuvers that you will be able
to perform with your 22e 3D as your skill level increases. Until then we’ll
start with two of the basic maneuvers that start the more advanced tricks.

The Roll:
The the first 3D maneuver you should learn is the roll. The illustrations to
the right will show you the stick inputs and heli movements needed to
peform a roll. Start the roll from Fast Forward Filght (FFF) heading in a
down wind direction. If it is your first time performing a roll or any other
3D maneuver, make sure you have plenty of altitude so you can recover
if anything goes wrong.

Inverted Hover:
If you want to hover the 22e 3D inverted, use the same stick inputs for
the roll but when you get the heli inverted, bring the aileron stick back to
it zero position at center and use small inputs of negative throttle
(negative pitch) and aileron stick inputs to keep the 22e 3D level during
inverted flight. To exit inverted flight, continue the steps used to finish the
roll.

The Loop:
The loop should only be attempted after you have mastered the controls
associated with the roll. The loop is a FFF maneuver that should be
practiced at a higher altitude. Use the illustrations and stick input
diagrams shown below to perform the loop.
