I. DRIFT
The zoopa 350 is an excellent Single-Blade helicopter that has been especially developed to enter into 4-Channel helicopter ight. Attention
should be paid to the fact, that 4-Channel helicopters tend to drift away into one direction. This drift can only be minimized by countersteering
with the controller at all time.
II. RANGE
The range of the controller is about 60 m. Avoid crashes against the ceiling or other obstacles – this causes damages to the helicopter.
Optimal ight can be reached at about 1 m height.
BEGINNER/ PROFESSIONAL MODE
Move down the dual-rate-switch for beginner mode: The servo movements are now reduced by 40 %. Move up the switch for professional
mode with 100 % amplitude and full agility.

Always use AA alkaline batteries. If inappropriate batteries are used in the transmitter, they may become hot, leak and may rupture. Follow
these precautions:
»Do not mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries.
»When changing batteries, replace ALL of the old batteries by new ones.
»Make sure the batteries are installed with the correct polarity as shown in the battery compartment.
»Do not disassemble your transmitter batteries. Do not let them become hot or even start burning. To avoid short-circuits, avoid them
getting wet.
»If liquid from inside the batteries encounters your skin or clothes, wash it off with water. If emergent battery uid gets into your eyes,
rinse them with cold water immediately and seek medical advice. Do not rub your eyes!
Dispose of empty batteries at a recycling centre.Herewith we declare that this item is in accordance with the essential
requirements and other relevant regulations of the directive 1999/5/EC. A copy of the original declaration of conformity can be
