LiPo Battery Warnings and Usage Guidelines
IMPORTANT NOTE: Lithium Polymer baeries are significantly more volale than the alkaline, NiCd or
NiMH baeries also used in RC applicaons. All instrucons and warnings must be followed exactly to
prevent property damage and/or personal injury as mishandling of LiPo baeries can result in fire.
By handling, charging or using the included LiPo baery you assume all risks associated with LiPo
baeries. If you do not agree with these condions please return the complete product in new, unused
condion to the place of purchase immediately.
And although the 500mAh 1-Cell/1S 3.7V 15C LiPo Baery (AZSH1255) included with the RTF version
Chronos FP 110 is intended to be charged safely using the included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 0.5A 110-240V
AC Charger (AZSH1254) you must read the following safety instrucons and warnings before handling,
charging or using the LiPo baery.
• You must charge the LiPo baery in a safe area away from flammable materials.
• Never charge the LiPo baery unaended at any me. When charging the baery you should
always remain in constant observaon to monitor the charging process and react immediately
to any potenal problems that may occur.
• Aer flying/discharging the baery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature
before recharging.
• To charge the LiPo baery you must use only the included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 0.5A 110-240V AC
Charger (AZSH1254) or a suitably compable LiPo baery charger. Failure to do so may result in
a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger.
• If at any me during the charge or discharge process the baery begins to balloon or swell,
disconnue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the baery,
then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe for at least 15
minutes. Connuing to charge or discharge a baery that has begun to balloon or swell can
result in a fire. A baery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed
from service completely.
• Store the baery at room temperature, approximately 68–77° Fahrenheit (F), and in a dry area
for best results.
• When transporng or temporarily storing the baery, the temperature range should be from
approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the baery or model in a hot garage, car or direct
sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or car the baery can be damaged or even
catch fire.
6

• Do not over-discharge the LiPo baery. Discharging the LiPo baery too low can cause
damage to the baery resulng in reduced power, flight duraon or failure of the baery
enrely.
LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load. In the case of the
1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo baery used to power the Chronos FP 110, you will not want to allow the
baery to fall below 3.0V during flight.
The 4-in-1 control unit does not feature a low voltage cutoff (LVC) of any type so it’s important
for you to be aware of the power level of the LiPo baery during flight. If you ever find that
more than the typical amount of throle/power is required to hover and/or the helicopter will
not ascend/climb even at full power you should land the model and disconnect the baery
immediately to prevent over-discharge. Connued discharging can cause permanent damage
to the LiPo baery resulng in reduced power output and/or shortened flight duraons during
subsequent flights (or failure of the baery enrely).
Charging the LiPo Battery
You must charge the included 500mAh 1-Cell/1S 3.7V 15C LiPo Baery (AZSH1255) using only the
included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 0.5A 110-240V AC Charger (AZSH1254) or a suitably compable LiPo
baery charger. Charging the LiPo baery using a non-LiPo baery compable charger (such as a NiCd
or NiMH baery charger), or even a different LiPo baery charger w ith the incorrect sengs, may
result in damage to the baery or even fire resulng in property damage and/or personal injury.
Please follow these steps to charge the LiPo flight baery with the included charger:
• Plug the AC charger into a compable 110-240V AC outlet. The LED indicator will glow solid
green indicang that the charger is powered on and ready to charge.
• Connect the red JST connector on the baery to the mang connector on the charger.
YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO ENSURE PROPER POLARITY BEFORE MAKING THE CONNECTION.
By orientang/aligning the wire leads of the baery and charger so they’re ‘red to red’ and
‘black to black’ you’ll be able to make the connecon with correct polarity. And although the
red JST connectors are ‘keyed’ to minimize the risk of a reverse polarity connecon, if you force
them it is possible to make connecon with the incorrect polarity potenally causing damage to
the baery and/or charger. When the connectors are properly aligned for correct polarity,
connecng them should require only a moderate amount of pressure to achieve the ‘click’ that
indicates a secure connecon.
7

• When the baery is connected to the charger securely and with the proper polarity the LED
indicator will glow solid red. The baery will be charging anyme the LED indicator is glowing
solid red.
• It will take approximately 1.0–1.5 hours to fully charge a mostly or fully discharged
(not over-discharged) baery. And when the baery is fully charged the LED indicator will
change to glow solid green. When the LED is glowing solid green you can disconnect the
baery from the charger as it is now fully charged and ready for use.
NOTE: The LiPo baery included with your model will arrive parally charged. For this reason the
inial charge may only take approximately 30–45 minutes.
NOTE: It’s safer and beer for the longevity of the baery to store it only parally charged for any
length of me. Storing the baery at approximately 50% charge (which is approximately 3.85V per
cell) is typically best, however, it will take some careful management of the charge me 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 baery fully charged
whenever possible. In fact, as long as the baery 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 baery in the
discharged state aer the last flight (as long as the baery was not over-discharged on the last flight).
8

Installing Transmitter Batteries
Install the six included AA baeries in the back of the transmier by removing the screw securing the
baery compartment cover/door then remove the baery compartment cover/door. Ensure proper
polarity of the baeries before installing them as indicated by the markings molded into the baery
compartment, then re-install the compartment cover/door and screw.
Check for proper operaon of the transmier by switching the power switch ON (slide it upward). The
LED indicator near the top right-hand corner should glow solid red while the LCD screen powers on to
display various data. These indicaons confirm the transmier is powered on and funconing correctly.
NOTE: The transmier is equipped with a low voltage baery alarm. If at any me the audible alarm is
on it will be necessary to replace the AA baeries with new ones.
Transmitter Details
The Chronos FP 110 includes an M4LPH Micro 4-Channel Helicopter Transmier equipped with 2.4GHz
technology, dual rates, digital trims and an LCD screen.

Proporonal Mix Trimmer Knob
The knob located near the top le-hand corner of the transmier is used to adjust the amount of ‘mixing’
between the main and tail motors. Please see the ‘Proporonal Mix Trimmer Knob’ secon of this
manual for more informaon.
Dual Rate Buon
The buon located near the top right-hand corner of the transmier is used to toggle between the ‘Dual
Rates’ available for the aileron and elevator controls/channels. Please see the ‘Transmier Dual Rates’
secon of this manual for more informaon.
Also, the LCD screen displays a variety of data when the transmier is powered on:
Proportional Mix Trimmer Knob
The M4LPH transmier is equipped with a
‘PROPORTIONAL’ mix trimmer knob (located
near the top le-hand corner of the transmit-
ter) that adjusts the amount of ‘mixing’
between the main and tail motors. This allows
you to fine-tune the rudder trim/sub-trim to
help prevent the nose of the helicopter from
driing to the le or right when in hover and
when climbing/descending.
10

NOTE: All Chronos FP 110 helicopters are test-flown at the factory. And during each test flight the
posion/seng for the proporonal mix trimmer knob is typically adjusted to provide very good trim
and performance overall. However, it is possible for the posion of the knob to change during handling
of the transmier so it may be necessary to adjust the posion/seng of the knob to achieve the best
possible trim and performance. And if you find it necessary to adjust the posion/seng of the knob
please follow these steps:
• Establish a stable hover and, with the rudder trim ‘centered’ and no rudder control input, check
to see if the nose of the helicopter is driing in one direcon or the other. If the nose of the
helicopter is driing to the le, turn the proporonal mix trimmer knob clockwise (+) as needed
to minimize/eliminate the driing.
• If the nose of the helicopter is driing to the right, turn the proporonal mix trimmer knob
counterclockwise (-) as needed to minimize/eliminate the driing.
QUICK TIP: As the motors heat up and the baery’s output voltage decreases throughout the flight, it
may be necessary to adjust the rudder trim posion/seng slightly to keep the nose of the helicopter
from driing to the le or right. These small adjustments can be made using the rudder trim and do
not typically require addional adjustment of the proporonal mix trimmer knob.
Transmitter Dual Rates
11
The ‘DUAL RATE’ buon (located near the top
right-hand corner of the transmier) is used to the
toggle between the ‘High’ (HI) and ‘Low’ (LO)
control rates, also known as ‘Dual Rates’, available
for the aileron and elevator controls/channels.
When the LED indicator is ON and glowing solid red
the control rate is set to ‘HI’ and the controls are
allowed to reach their maximum (high)
rates/values. This mode is typically preferred by
experienced pilots interested most in maximum
control authority.
When the LED indicator is OFF the control rate is set to ‘LO’ and the maximum control rates/values will
be reduced for the aileron and elevator channels. This is typically preferred by (and recommended best
for) low-me and other pilots interested in a reduced amount of control authority that allows for even
smoother and more easily controlled hovering/flying.
NOTE: Each me the transmier is powered off then on again the dual rates will default to HI.

Flight Controls and Trimming
In the event you are not familiar with the controls of the Chronos FP 110 please take the me to
familiarize yourself with them as follows and before proceeding with your first flight:
The le-hand sck on the transmier controls both the throle (climb/descend) and rudder (yaw
le/right) channels. When the le-hand sck (also known as the ‘throle’ sck) is in the lowest possible
posion the rotor blades will not spin. Moving the sck upward will increase the speed/RPMs of the rotor
blades. Increasing the speed/RPMs of the rotor blades will cause the model to climb.
Decreasing the speed/RPMs of the rotor blades by lowering the le-hand sck will cause the model to
descend.
Aer liing the helicopter off the ground you can maintain altude in ‘hover’ by carefully moving the
le-hand sck up and down slightly as needed so the helicopter will not climb or descend.
12

The throle trim lever (located immediately to the right of the le-hand/throle sck) can be used to
adjust the throle control/channel output value for a given sck posion. For example, raising the throle
trim will make it possible to maintain altude with the helicopter when the le-hand/throle sck is in a
lower posion. However, we do not typically recommend raising or lowering the throle trim above/below
the middle/centered posion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do raise the throle trim you
MUST remember to lower it to the middle/centered
posion AND the throle sck to the lowest possible
posion IMMEDIATELY in the event of a crash or rotor
blade strike. Failure to lower the throle trim to the
middle/centered posion and throle sck to the lowest
possible posion immediately in the event of a crash/rotor
blade strike can result in damage to the ESCs in the 4-in-1
control unit (which may require replacement of the control
unit).
Moving the le-hand sck to the le will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the le about the axis of
the main sha. This is accomplished by decreasing the speed/RPMs of the tail rotor.
13

Moving the le-hand sck to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the right about the
axis of the main sha. This is accomplished by increasing the speed/RPMs of the tail rotor.
The rudder trim lever (located immediately below the le-hand sck) can be used to help keep the nose
of the helicopter from turning (yawing) to the le or right when ‘hovering’ and without any le-hand
sck/rudder control input. For example, if the nose of the helicopter turns to the right when hovering
add le rudder trim by pressing the lever to the le unl the nose of the helicopter stays as close to
‘straight’ as possible with no further rudder control/trim input.
NOTE: It is not uncommon for the nose of most FP (Fixed-Pitch) helicopters with a tail motor to dri
slightly in one direcon or the other throughout a flight (as the motors heat up and the baery’s output
voltage decreases). This means you may find it necessary to adjust the rudder trim posion/seng
slightly throughout a flight but typically it’s not more than a few ‘clicks’ of trim one way or the other.
Also, please see the ‘Proporonal Mix Trimmer Knob’ secon of this manual for more informaon on
other potenal adjustments that can be made to fine-tune rudder/tail control and response.
14

The right-hand sck controls both the elevator (pitch fore/a) and aileron (roll) channels. Pushing the
sck forward will pitch the nose of the helicopter downward, allowing it to be flown forward. This is
accomplished by having the elevator (right-hand) servo pull the swashplate downward.
Pulling the right-hand sck backward will pitch the tail of the helicopter downward, allowing it to be
flown backward. This is accomplished by having the elevator (right-hand) servo push the swashplate
upward.
The elevator trim lever (located immediately to the le of the right-hand sck) can be used to help keep
the helicopter from driing forward or backward when hovering and with no right-hand sck/elevator
control input. For example, if the helicopter dris forward when hovering add back/up elevator trim by
pressing the lever downward unl the helicopter hovers as level as possible without driing forward.
16

Moving the right-hand sck to the le will roll the helicopter to the le, allowing it to be flown to the le.
This is accomplished by having the aileron (le-hand) servo pull the swashplate downward.
Moving the right-hand sck to the right will roll the helicopter to the right, allowing it to be flown to the
right. This is accomplished by having the aileron (le-hand) servo push the swashplate upward.
The aileron trim lever (located immediately below the right-hand sck) can be used to help keep the
helicopter from driing le or right when hovering and with no right-hand sck/aileron control input. For
example, if the helicopter dris to the right when hovering add le aileron trim by pressing the lever to
the le unl the helicopter hovers as level as possible without driing to the right.
17

Installing and Removing the LiPo Flight Battery
Aer the LiPo baery has been fully charged it’s ready to be installed in the helicopter. To install
the baery in the helicopter start by removing the canopy. Next, with the wire leads and connector
of the baery oriented so they point forward (away from the 4-in-1 control unit), place the baery
in the baery holder so the hook-and-loop material on the baery and holder make contact. Then
secure the baery in the holder by wrapping the included hook-and-loop strap around the baery
and holder.
To remove the LiPo flight baery (aer carefully disconnecng it from the 4-in-1 control unit) start
by removing the canopy and the hook-and-loop strap. Then remove it from the baery
holder/helicopter completely.
Control Unit Initialization, Arming and Motor Control Test
The Chronos FP 110 is equipped with a compact and advanced 4-in-1 control unit. The control unit is a
lightweight combinaon of 2.4GHz receiver, two electronic speed controls (ESCs), a mixer and gyro.
The control unit is also equipped with LEDs that provide various indicaons.
The following checklist includes the steps you must follow to ensure proper inializaon, arming and
operaon of the control unit:
18

• Before each flight you must ALWAYS turn the transmier on BEFORE connecng the LiPo
flight baery to the control unit. Never connect the baery to the control unit before
powering the transmier on first. And aer each flight you should always disconnect the
baery from the control unit before turning the transmier off.
• The le-hand/throle sck must be set in the lowest possible posion in order for the
control unit to arm properly. Failure to lower the sck to the lowest possible posion can
prevent the ESCs from arming and/or the gyro from inializing properly.
• With the throle sck in the lowest possible posion ensure that the le-hand sck is
‘centered’ le to right and that the right-hand sck is ‘centered’ le to right as well as up
and down and do NOT move the scks as you turn the transmier on to avoid changing the
proper center/neutral posions of the controls.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Moving the control scks while turning the transmier on can change
the proper center/neutral posions of the controls making it difficult to control the
model and impossible to ‘trim it out’ correctly. And if you ever find this to be the case
then simply disconnect the LiPo flight baery from the 4-in-1 control unit, turn the
transmier off then follow the steps to properly turn on and inialize the transmier and
control unit.
• Turn the transmier on and confirm that the LED indicator near the top right-hand corner
glows solid red while the LCD screen powers on.
NOTE: If this will be the first flight, or the first flight following repairs, you should ‘center’
the rudder, elevator and aileron channel trims.
• AFTER INSTALLING THE BATTERY IN THE MOUNT/HELICOPTER YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO
ENSURE PROPER POLARITY BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE 4-IN-1 CONTROL UNIT. By
orienng/aligning the wire leads of the baery and control unit so they’re ‘red to red’
and ‘black to black’ you’ll be able to make the connecon with correct polarity.

• AFTER INSTALLING THE BATTERY IN THE MOUNT/HELICOPTER YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO
ENSURE PROPER POLARITY BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE 4-IN-1 CONTROL UNIT. By
orienng/aligning the wire leads of the baery and control unit so they’re ‘red to red’ and
‘black to black’ you’ll be able to make the connecon with correct polarity.
Also, although the ‘JST’ connectors are ‘keyed’ to minimize the risk of a reverse polarity connecon,
if you force them it is possible to make connecon with incorrect/reversed polarity potenally
causing damage to the control unit and/or baery. When the connectors are properly aligned for
correct polarity, connecng them should require only a minimal amount of pressure to achieve the
light ‘click’ that indicates secure connecon.
• With the LiPo flight baery connected to the control unit the LED indicator (on the control
unit) will typically blink red slowly then blink red rapidly before glowing solid red.
IMPORTANT NOTE: aer the baery is connected to the control unit it’s important to not move or
ROTATE the helicopter once the RED LED begins to blink confirming that the inializaon process and
calibraon of the gyro has begun. If you do move/rotate the helicopter too much while the LED is
blinking red it may affect inializaon/calibraon of the gyro which could require significant rudder
trim adjustments and/or prevent the gyro from working during the pending flight. If this happens you
must disconnect the baery from the control unit and repeat the inializaon/calibraon process.
Also, it’s typically best to connect the baery to the control unit while the helicopter is sing on
a stable, flat and level surface rather than when holding it in your hands.
• When the LED indicator begins to glow solid red the control unit is inialized, armed and
ready for flight. Use cauon as the rotor blades will now spin with le-hand/throle sck
input! Do not advance/raise the throle sck or trim unl you are clear of the rotor blades
and ready to fly.

In case the LED indicator does not glow solid red:
• If the LED indicator connues to blink red slowly you do not have a posive RF link between
the transmier and receiver. First, check to be sure that the transmier is powered on and that it
has an adequate level of baery voltage/power. If the transmier is already powered on,
disconnect the baery from the control unit then turn the transmier off. Follow the steps to
bind/link the transmier to the receiver/4-in-1 control unit (see the ‘Transmier and Receiver
Binding/Linking’ secon of this manual and aer confirming that the transmier and receiver are
properly bound/linked, connect the baery to the control unit again. The LED indicator should blink
red rapidly, blink red slowly then glow solid red to indicate the control unit is inialized, armed and
ready for flight.
Aer confirming the control unit has inialized and armed properly the Chronos FP 110 is ready to
fly. However, please review the following informaon/secons of the manual BEFORE proceeding
with your first flight.
Motor Control Test
To confirm proper control and operaon of the motors place the helicopter in an open area free of
people and obstrucons. And when everything is clear of the main and tail rotor blades, proceed with
the following steps:
• Raise the le-hand/throle sck slowly and just high enough so that both the main and tail
rotor blades begin to spin slowly. Then, note the direcon that the rotor blades spin. The main
rotor blades should spin clockwise and the tail rotor blade should spin counterclockwise (when
viewed from directly from the top and right side of the helicopter).
• The main motor spins the main rotor blades and should be connected to the larger
connector on the control unit.
• The tail motor spins the tail rotor blade and should be connected to the smaller
connector on the control unit.
• Aer confirming that the main and tail rotors are spinning in the correct direcons it’s
important to confirm that the tail rotor responds properly to rudder (yaw) control inputs. With
the main and tail rotors spinning slowly move the le-hand/rudder sck to the right. This
should cause the speed/RPMs of the tail rotor to increase. Next, move the le-hand/rudder
sck to the le. This should cause the speed/RPMs of the tail rotor to decrease.
