UNI-STAR 60 Foreword The UNI-STAR 60 fuselage kit complements the UNI-EXPERT- Mechanics or Uni-Mechanics 2000 to form an elegant helicopter of open construction which is as suitable for beginner’s training as it is for unlimited aerobatics and the extreme style of flying known as "3-D". The lightweight vacuum-moulded fuselage fairing for the mechanics is mounted on rubber grommets for optimum vibration suppression, and it can be fitted and removed quickly and simply. This makes for excellent accessibility to the radio control components and mechanics for checking and maintenance. The black eloxided tail boom is amply braced by means of two long CFRP struts, and can be replaced extremely quickly and straightforwardly if damaged. The boom’s length has been chosen with two factors in mind: to ensure that the beginner can learn the basic flying skills with short, low-cost wooden blades, and to allow the expert to indulge in unlimited "3-D" aerobatics by fitting longer symmetrical-section GRP or CFRP rotor blades. With its long skid tubes the landing gear provides a stable base for the helicopter, and the system is designed in such a way that the main rotor shaft is vertical when the model is on the ground. This makes it much easier to take-off and land the model accurately. Sets of wider reinforced skid bars are available for initial training under Order No. 4447.106 and 4451.14. An electric version of the UNI-STAR 60, named „TRAINER UNI-E“, is available under Order No. 4457 as a complete helicopter kit. While the mechanics is different the body kit is identical. Therefore this manual covers the body of the „TRAINER UNI-E“ as well; differences to the normal Version are mentioned in the text. Specification Length excl. rotor approx. 1414 mm Width excl. rotor approx. 240 mm Height approx. 430 mm Rotor Ø range 1410...1550 mm All-up weight min. approx. 4000 g 2
UNI-STAR 60 Warning notes • The contents of this kit can be assembled to produce a working model helicopter, but the model is by no means a harmless plaything. If assembled incorrectly or handled incompetently or carelessly it can cause serious injury to persons and damage to property. • When the model helicopter’s engine is running, the two rotors are spinning at high speed and contain an enormous quantity of rotational energy. Anything and everything that gets into the rotational plane of the rotors is either damaged or destroyed - and that includes parts of your body. Please take extreme care at all times with this machine. • If any object obstructs the rotational plane of the revolving rotors, severe damage will probably be caused to the rotor blades as well as the object. Broken parts may fly off and result in enormous imbalance; the whole helicopter then falls into sympathetic vibration, you lose control and have no way of predicting what the model will do next. • You may also lose control if a problem arises in the radio control system, perhaps as a result of outside interference, component failure or flat or faulty batteries, but in any case the result is the same: the model helicopter’s response is entirely unpredictable. Without prior warning it may move off in any direction. • Helicopters have many parts which are naturally subject to wear, including gearbox components, motor, ball-links etc., and as a result it is absolutely essential to check and maintain the model regularly. It is standard practice with full-size aircraft to give the machine a thorough “pre-flight check” before every flight, and this is equally important with your model helicopter. Constant checking gives you the opportunity to detect and correct any faults which may develop before they are serious enough to cause a crash. • The kit also includes two additional information sheets - SHW 3 and SHW 7 - which include safety notes and warnings. Please be sure to read them and keep to our recommendations. They are an essential part of these instructions. • This helicopter is designed to be constructed and operated by adults, although young people of 16 years or more may do so under the instruction and supervision of competent adults. • The model features sharp points and edges which may cause injury. • Flying model aircraft is subject to certain legal restrictions, and these must be observed at all times. For example, it is essential to take out third party insurance, you must obtain permission to use the flying site, and you may have to obtain a licence to use your radio control system (regulations vary from country to country). • It is important to transport your model helicopter (e.g. to the flying site) in such a way that there is no danger of damaging the machine. Particularly vulnerable areas are the rotor head linkages and the tail rotor generally. 3
