NOTE:TheLiPobatteryincludedwithyournewmodelwillarrivepartiallycharged.For

thisreasontheinitialchargemayonlytakeapproximately15‐20minutes.



NOTE:DONOTSTORETHEBATTERYFULLYCHARGED.Forimprovedsafetyand

longevityofthebatteryit’sbesttostoreitonlypartiallychargedforanylengthof

time.Storingthebatteryatapproximately50%charged(whichisapproximately3.85V

percell)istypicallybest,however,itwilltakesomecarefulmanagementofthecharge

timeandtheuseofavoltmetertoachievethisvoltage.



Ifyouhavetheequipmentandskillstoachievethe50%chargelevelforstorageitis

recommended.Ifnot,simplybesuretonotstorethebatteryfullychargedwhenever

possible.Infact,aslongasthebatterywillbestoredatapproximatelyroom

temperatureandfornomorethanafewweeksbeforethenextuse,itmaybebestto

storethebatteryinthedischargedstateafterthelastflight(aslongasthebatterywas

notover‐dischargedonthelastflight).

IntheeventyouarenotfamiliarwiththecontrolsofyourChronosCX75helicopter,please

takethetimetofamiliarizeyourselfwiththemasfollowsandbeforeattemptingyourfirst



Decreasingthespeedofthemainrotorbladesbyloweringtheleft‐handstickwillcausethe

14

Movingtheright‐handsticktotheleftwillturn(yaw)thenoseofthehelicoptertotheleft

abouttheaxisofthemainshaft.Thisisaccomplishedbyincreasingthespeedoftheupper

Movingthesticktotherightwillturn(yaw)thenoseofthehelicoptertotherightaboutthe



Therudder(steering)trimisusedtohelpkeepthenoseofthehelicopterfromconstantly

rotatingtotheleftorrightwheninhoverandwithnoright‐handstickinput.Forexample,if

thenoseofthehelicopterrotatestotherightwheninhover,addleftruddertrimbypressing

theleft‐handruddertrimbuttonuntilthenoseofthehelicopterstaysasclosetostraightas

possiblewithnoinputfromyou.



It’salsoimportanttonotethatthesettingfortheruddertrimmayneedtobeadjusted

slightlyfromflighttoflightoreverduringaflightdependingonvariousfactors(any

movement/rotationofthehelicopterduringtheinitializationprocess,environmental

conditions,batteryvoltage,etc.).



Andonceyou’refamiliarwiththecontrolsofthehelicopteryou’realmostreadytofly!

15



Whenyou’rereadytomakeyourfirstflightyou’llwanttoselectanopenindoorareafreeof

peopleandobstructions.Wesuggestanareawithapproximately10‐feetby10‐feetoffloor

spaceand8‐footceilingswhenmakingyourfirstfewflights



Afteryou’veproperlytrimmedthehelicopterandbecomefamiliarwithitshandlingand

YourChronosCX75isequippedwithacompactandadvancedcontrolunit.Thecontrolunitis

alightweightcombinationof2.4GHzreceiver,twomainmotorelectronicspeedcontrols

(ESCs),mixerandgyro.ThecontrolunitisalsoequippedwithanLEDthatprovidesvarious

indications.



Thischecklistincludesthestepsyoumustfollowtoensureproperinitialization,armingand

operationofthecontrolunit:



Beforeeachflightyoushouldalwaysturnthetransmitteronbeforeturningthe

helicopteron.Neverturnthehelicopteronbeforepoweringthetransmitteron

first(exceptwhenbinding/linking,asnotedinthatsectionofthismanual).

Aftereachflightyoushouldalwaysturnthehelicopteroffbeforepoweringoff

thetransmitter.



Theleft‐hand/throttlestickmustbesetinthelowestpossiblepositioninorder

fortheESCsofthecontrolunittoarm.



Turnthetransmitteron,confirmingthatthepowerLEDindicatorisglowingsolid

red.Then,usingthesmallswitchlocatedonthebottomofthehelicopterand

neartheconnectorusedforcharging,turnthehelicopteron.



WhenthehelicopteristurnedontheLEDindicatoronthecontrolunit(visible

throughthewindshield)willblink/flashredrapidly.Ifpossibleyoushouldnot

significantlymoveorrotatethehelicopteroncetheLEDbeginstoblink/flash

confirmingthattheinitializationprocessofthegyrohasbegun.Ifyoudomove

orrotatethehelicoptertoomuchwhiletheLEDisblinkingitmayaffectthe

initialization/calibrationofthegyrowhichcouldrequiresignificantruddertrim

adjustmentsduringthependingflight.Ifthishappens,tohelpminimizeor

eliminatetheneedforruddertrimadjustmentsyoumaywantturnthe

helicopteroffthenbackontorepeattheinitialization/calibrationprocess.



WhentheLEDindicatorstopsblinking/flashingrapidlyandglowssolidredthe

controlunitisinitializedandreadyforflight.Andaslongasyouhadtheleft‐

hand/throttlesticksettothelowestpossiblepositionduringtheinitialization

processtheESCs/motorswillnowbearmed.Usecautionasbothmainrotor

bladeswillnowspinwithleft‐hand/throttlestickinput!

17

IncasetheLEDindicatordoesnotchangetoglowingsolidred:



•IftheLEDindicatorchangesfromblinking/flashingrapidlytoblinking/flashing

slowlyyoudonothaveapositiveradiofrequency(RF)linkbetweenthe

transmitterandreceiverofthecontrolunit.First,checktobesurethe

transmitterispoweredonandthatthepowerLEDindicatoronthetransmitteris

glowingsolidred.Ifthetransmitterispoweredonandfunctioningproperly,turn

thehelicopteroff.Thenturnthehelicopteronandnowthecontrolunitshould

initializeandarmproperly.



Or,ifthecontrolunitstilldoesnotinitializeandarmproperly,andyoustilldonot

havecontrolofthehelicopter,it’spossibleyoumayneedtobind/linkthe

transmittertothereceiverinthecontrolunit.Pleaseseethe‘Transmitterand

ReceiverBinding/Linking’sectionofthismanualformoreinformation.



IncasetheLEDindicatordoesglowsolidredbutyouhavenocontrolofthemain

motors/rotorblades:



•Ifafterblinking/flashingrapidlyandchangingtoglowsolidredyoudonothave

controlofthemainmotors/rotorbladesyouhaveapositiveRFlinkbetweenthe

transmitterandreceiverofthecontrolunitbuttheESCs/motorsdidnotarm

becausetheleft‐hand/throttlestickmaynotbesettothelowestpossible

position.Oncetheleft‐hand/throttlestickisinthelowestpossiblepositionthe

ESCs/motorswillbearmed.



AfterconfirmingthecontrolunitisinitializedandtheESCs/motorshavearmedproperly

yourChronosCX75isreadytofly.However,pleasereviewthefollowingsectionofthe

manualBEFOREproceedingwiththefirstflight.



Nowthatyou’veselectedasuitableflyingareaandthecontrolunitisinitializedandarmed,

yourChronosCX75isreadytofly.Andwhenmakingyourfirstflightswesuggestfollowing

thesesteps:



Increasethespeedofthemainrotorbladesuntilthemodelbeginstoliftoffby

raisingtheleft‐hand/throttlestickSLOWLY.DONOTraisethesticktooquicklyasthe

modelcouldclimbtoofastcausingyoutolosecontroland/ormakecontactwiththe

18

ceilingorotherobjectsabove(thisisoneofthemostcommonwaysmostfirst‐time

pilotscrash).



Liftthemodeloffthegroundapproximately12‐16inchesandconcentrateon

balancingtheleft‐hand/throttlestickpositionsothehelicopterholdsasteadyhover

altitude.Itmayalsobehelpfultomakeafewshort‘hops’toanaltitudeofjustafew

inchesuntilyou’refamiliarandmorecomfortablewiththecontrolinputsrequiredto

maintainasteadyhoverandaltitude.However,keepinmindthatwhenonlyafew

inchesoffthegroundyouwillbein‘groundeffect’whichwillcausethehelicopterto

movearoundmorethanwhenyouareoutoftheeffectatapproximately12‐16inches

high(andhigher).



You’llfindthatitsometimestakesminorthrottleadjustmentstomaintainaltitudein

hover.Remembertokeeptheseadjustmentsasminimalaspossibleaslarge

adjustmentscouldresultinalossofcontroland/orapossiblecrash.



Whileattemptingtoestablishalow‐levelhoveroutofgroundeffect(approximately

12‐16incheshighorhigher)youcanchecktoseeifanyruddertrimadjustmentsare

requiredtohelpkeepthehelicopterfromconstantlyrotatinginonedirectionorthe

other.Ifyoufindthehelicopterconstantlyrotatesinonedirectionwithoutany

rudder/directionalcontrolinputitmaybebesttolandthemodelbeforemakingany

adjustmentstotheruddertrimsettingsusingthetrimbuttonsonthetransmitter(you

canfindmoreinformationregardingthelocationandfunctionofthetrimbuttonsin

the‘FlightControlsandTrimming’sectionofthismanual).



It’simportanttocontinuemakingruddertrimadjustmentsasneededuntilthe

helicoptercanhoveratanaltitudeofapproximately12‐16inches(orhigher)withlittle

tonorotatingleftorrightwithoutrudder/directionalcontrolinput.



Whenthehelicopterisproperlytrimmed,maintainastablehoverandpracticeusing

therudderandelevatorcontrolstogetafeelforhowthehelicopterrespondsto

variouscontrolinputs.Remembertokeepthecontrolinputsasminimalaspossibleto

preventover‐controllingthehelicopter.



Continuetopracticeuntilyou’recomfortablehoveringthehelicopteratapproximately

12‐16incheshigh.Thenyoucantransitiontohoveringthehelicopterathigher

altitudesofapproximatelythreetofourfeet.



Ifatanytimeduringflightyoufeellikethehelicopterisdriftingoutof/beyondyour

control,simplyreleaseallofthecontrolsexceptforthrottle.Thethrottlewillbe

neededtomaintainaltitude,butduetotheinherentstabilityofthecoaxial,counter‐

19

rotatingbladedesign,releasingalloftheothercontrolswillallowthehelicopterto

returntoastablehoveronitsown.



Don’tbeafraidtoabruptlysetthehelicopterdownbyquicklyloweringthethrottle

whenapproachingwallsorotherobstaclestohelppreventmainrotorbladestrikes.



INTHEUNFORTUNATEEVENTOFACRASHORROTORBLADESTRIKE,NOMATTER

HOWMAJORORMINOR,YOUMUSTLOWERTHELEFT‐HAND/THROTTLESTICKTO

THELOWESTPOSSIBLEPOSITIONASQUICKLYASPOSSIBLETOPREVENTDAMAGETO

THEESCSOFTHECONTROLUNIT.



Ifyoudonotlowertheleft‐hand/throttlesticktothelowestpossiblepositioninthe

eventofacrash/rotorbladestrikeitcanresultindamagetotheESCsofthecontrol

unitwhichmayrequirereplacementofthecontrolunit.



NOTE:Crashdamageisnotcoveredunderwarranty.



Binding/linkingistheprocessofprogrammingthereceiverofthecontrolunittorecognizethe

GloballyUniqueIdentifier(GUID)codeofasinglespecifictransmitter.Thesestepsoutlinethe

binding/linkingprocess:



Besurethetransmitteristurnedoffthenturnthehelicopteronandproceed

immediatelytothenextstep.



Within3‐5secondsofturningthehelicopteron(duringthetimetheLEDindicatoron

thecontrolunitblinks/flashesredrapidly)pressandholdthebind/linkbuttonnearthe

upperright‐handcornerofthetransmitterwhileswitchingthetransmitteron.



Afterpoweringonthetransmitterwhileholdingthebind/linkbuttonthepowerLED

indicatoronthetransmitterwillbegintoblink/flashred.Thisindicatesthetransmitter

isinthebinding/linkingmode,andoncetheLEDindicatorisblinkingyoucanrelease

thebind/linkbutton.



Whilethetransmitterisinthebinding/linkingmodetheLEDindicatoronthecontrol

unitshouldswitchtoblinking/flashingslowly.AfterafewsecondstheLEDindicators

onboththetransmitterandcontrolunitshouldswitchtoglowingsolidred(no

blinking/flashing)indicatingthatthereceiver/controlunitisbound/linkedtothe

transmitter.Youshouldnowhavefullcontrolofthehelicopterandthebinding/linking

processiscomplete.
