BATTERY GUIDELINES
Note: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than the alkaline, NiCd or Ni-MH batteries used in RC
applications. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Treat the Li-Po battery with respect. Mishan-
dling of Li-Po batteries can result in fire.
For the most efficient power, we recommend a Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery for the Swift NX. Please follow these directions
when operating or charging the Li-Po battery.
• You must charge the Li-Po battery in a safe area away from flammable materials.
• It is recommended that you charge the Li-Po battery on a cement floor or within a metal pan in case of fire.
• Do not charge the battery when installed in the helicopter.
• Never charge the battery unattended. You should always monitor the battery during it charging cycle to react to any potential
problems that may arise.
• After flight, the battery must be cooled to ambient temperature before charging.
• Improper handling or charging could result in injury and/or property damage. DO NOT use a NiCd or Ni-MH charger to charge a
Li-Po battery.
• If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging
immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to observe it
for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery
that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service completely.
• Always take care when connecting the leads on the battery to the charger and to the ESC. Although most connectors forcibly pro-
vide only one way to connect the plugs, make sure you are matching the Red (positive +), and Black (negative -) wires to each other.
If at any time the connector breaks and the wires separate from each other, never let the loose wires touch each other as this can
result in a short.
• It is important that you monitor the status of your battery and never leave a charging battery unattended.
• In the event of a crash, you must quickly and safely disconnect and remove the battery from the model, then place it in a safe, open
area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes.
• Always store the battery at room temperature and approximately ½ charge for best results.
• When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range should be between 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do not store the battery or helicopter/transmitter in a car or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot car, the battery
can be damaged or even catch fire.
• Do not over-discharge the battery. Discharging the battery too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced perfor-
mance and duration.
• Although not necessary, it is recommended to charge the battery with a battery balancer. This will prolong the life of the Li-Po bat-
tery.

LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY SAFETY
1. Never fast-charge any battery type unattended.
2. Never charge Li-Poly cells or battery packs at any rate unattended.
3. Only charge Li-Poly cells or battery packs with a charger designed specifically for lithium polymer chemistry.
4. Li-Poly cells can ignite because of unmatched cell capacity or voltage, cell damage, charger failure, incorrect charger setting
and other factors.
5. Always use the correct charging voltage. Li-Poly cells or battery packs may ignite if connected to a charger supplying more
than 5 volts per cell.
6. Always assure the charger is working properly.
7. Always charge Li-Poly cells or battery packs where no harm can result, no matter what happens. We suggest a brick box or
likeness. Have sand handy in a bucket for any need to extinguish any fire. NEVER use water on any cells or battery packs.
8. Never charge a cell or battery pack in a model. A hot pack may ignite wood, foam, plastic, etc.
9. Never charge a cell or battery pack inside a motor vehicle or in a vehicle’s engine compartment.
10. Never charge a cell or battery pack on a wooden workbench or on any flammable material.
11. If a cell or battery pack is involved in a crash:
a. Remove the cell or battery pack from model.
b. Carefully inspect the cell or battery pack for shorts in the wiring or connections. If in doubt, cut all wires from cell or battery
pack.
c. Disassemble the pack
d. Inspect cells for dents, cracks and splits. Dispose of damaged cells.
12. Dispose of cells or battery packs as follows:
a. Discharge: with the cells or battery pack in a safe area, connect a moderate resistance across the terminals until the cell
or battery pack is discharged. CAUTION: cell or battery pack may be hot.
b. Discard Li-Po batteries by puncturing the plastic envelope, immerse in salt water for several hours and place in regular
trash.
13. Handle all cells or battery packs with care, as they can deliver high currents if shorted. Shorting by a wedding ring, for example,
will remove a finger.
14. Always store cells or battery packs in a secure location where they cannot be shorted or handled by children.
15. When constructing a battery pack, always use cells of the same capacity (mAh)
16. DO NOT store fully charged or discharged batteries in your helicopter.
17. When cutting wires, always cut ONLY ONE WIRE AT A TIME.
** Century Helicopter Products will not be liable for any damages that may occur to your helicopter due to any misuse or
mishandling as explained above.
** Century Helicopter Products, its successors, heirs and assignees are not responsible in way for any and all bodily injuries)
and/or property damage that may occur from the use of, or caused by in any way from Lithium Polymer battery packs offered
by and or distributed by Century Helicopter Products.

INITIAL SETUP
Use the Velcro strips for mounting the Li-Po battery onto the battery tray. Once you have the battery mounted, use the supplied
strap and secure the battery in place making sure the ESC (Electronic Speed Control) wires can connect to the battery wires.
Before proceeding to check the servos, disconnect the three connectors between the motor and ESC. It is not safe to perform the
control test with the motor connected to the ESC.
Lower the throttle/collective (left-hand) stick completely then turn the transmitter on.

BATTERY GUIDELINES
If you are not familiar with the primary flight controls of your Swift NX, please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them
before proceeding and before attempting your first flight. This guide will be for Mode 2 users (typically flown in the USA). The left-
hand stick on the transmitter controls both throttle/collective pitch (climb/descend) and rudder or tail (yaw left/right). When the
left-hand stick is in the lowest position and the throttle trim is set to the bottom position, the motor and rotor blades will not spin.
Increase throttle but advancing the stick upward. This will increase the speed of the motor in turn increasing the speed of the main
rotor blades along with their pitch. Increasing the speed and pitch of the main rotor blades will cause the helicopter to lift.
Decrease the speed and pitch of the main rotor blades by lowering the left-hand stick will cause the model to descend.
After lifting the model off the ground you can balance the throttle/collective pitch by carefully moving the left-hand stick up and down
so that the model will hold a stationary hover without climbing or descending.
Also, in most cases it will not be necessary to adjust the throttle trim from the bottom position for any reason.

CENTURY SWIFT NX
Page 11
BATTERY GUIDELINES
Moving the left-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 ac-
complished by changing the pitch of the tail rotor blades.
Moving the stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the right about the axis of the main shaft.
The rudder trim can be used to help keep the nose of the helicopter from rotating to the left or right when in hover with no rudder
stick input. For example, if the nose of the helicopter drifts to the right when in hover, click the rudder trim lever to the left until the
nose stays as close to straight as possible.

CENTURY SWIFT NX
Page 12
FLIGHT CONTROLS
The elevator trim can be used to help keep the helicopter from drifting forward or backward when in hover with no elevator stick
input. For example, if the helicopter drifts forward when in hover, click the elevator trim lever downward until the helicopter hovers
as level as possible with no forward drifting.
Moving the right-hand stick to the left will roll the helicopter to the left, allowing the helicopter to be flown to the left and to perform
left-hand rolls.
Moving the stick to the right will roll the helicopter to the right, allowing the helicopter to be flown to the right and to perform right-
hand rolls.
The aileron trim can be used to help keep the helicopter from drifting left or right when in hover with no aileron stick input. For ex-
ample, if the helicopter drifts to the right when in hover, click the aileron trim lever to the left until the helicopter hovers as level as
possible with no drifting to the right.
Once you have become familiar with the primary controls of the helicopter, you are almost ready to fly.

The right-hand stick controls both elevator (pitch fore/aft) and aileron (roll). Pushing the stick forward will pitch the nose of the heli-
copter downward, allowing the helicopter to be flown forward.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECKLIST
Check the security of all screws and control/linkage balls on your model. Tighten any screws and control/linkage balls that
may be loose and replace any screws, control/linkage balls or other parts that may be stripped.
Check to be sure that the screws securing the main and tail rotor blades in the blade grips are tightened so that the blades
can pivot in the grips when moderate pressure is applied.
Check the security of all the plastic ball link ends on your model. The links should stay attached to the control/linkage balls
even when moderate force is applied. Any link that does not stay attached to the control/linkage ball should be replaced
before flight.
Check to be sure that all electronic equipment and wire leads are secure and will not come into contact with any moving
parts.
Check for proper tail rotor drive belt tension. Proper belt tension plays a critical role in achieving maximum performance and
reliability of your model.
If the belt tension is set too tight, it can result in a loss of power while also causing the belt and/or pulleys to wear more
quickly.
If the belt tension is set too loose, the belt can skip and strip teeth from the belt and/or pulleys. It can also result in a loss of
tail rotor performance and control in flight.
You can check the tension of the tail rotor drive belt by using an Allen/hex wrench (or any other suitable tool/device) to
compress the belt through the opening in bottom of the main frame. Apply light pressure to the exposed side of the belt,
compressing it toward the other side of the belt. The belt tension is set properly if the compressed side of the belt reaches
approximately ½ of the way to the other side of the belt.
If the compressed side of the belt reaches more than ½ of the way to the other side of the belt, the tension is set too loose. If it is
difficult to compress the exposed side of the belt, or if it does not reach approximately ½ of the way to the other side of the belt, the
tension is set too tight.

CENTURY SWIFT NX
Page 15
PRE-FLIGHT CHECKLIST
You can adjust the belt tension by loosening the two screws that mount the horizontal stabilizer and the four screws that hold the
transmission box to the tail boom. After loosening these six screws, slide the boom further into the frame (to loosen belt tension)
or farther out of the frame (to tighten belt tension). After properly adjusting the tail drive belt tension, be sure to retighten all six
screws while also confirming proper alignment of the horizontal stabilizer and tail rotor shaft (both should be level/horizontal and
perpendicular to the main shaft when viewed from behind the model).
If this is the first test flight, or a test flight following repairs, you will also want to center the rudder, aileron and elevator trims.
When you are ready for your first flight, you will want to select a large, open area that is free of people and obstructions. Until you
have properly trimmed, adjusted and become familiar with the handling of the Swift NX, we suggest that your first and subsequent
test flights be made outdoors in low-wind conditions only. While it is possible for the Swift NX to be flown in windy conditions, we
strongly suggest that it only be flown in windy conditions once you become accustomed to your Swift’s flight characteristics. The Swift
NX is not intended to be flown in small indoor areas or facilities where it may be possible to fly a micro coaxial helicopters.
Choosing a Flying Area

CENTURY SWIFT NX
Page 16
MAINTANANCE
To keep your Swift NX in optimal and safe flying condition, routine maintenance is highly recommended. Some of the most important
things to check are as follows:
• Ball Links: Before each flying session, check to see that the plastic ball link ends are secure, but not tight (binding), on the linkage/
control balls. The plastic ball links can wear over time, and if they become too loose on the control balls, they can separate from the
ball in flight and cause a crash. Be sure to replace any worn ball links before they fail.
Also, any ball links that are tight (binding) on the linkage/control balls can be loosened by using a ball link sizing tool. When sizing the
ball links, extreme care should be taken as it is possible oversize the ball links causing them to be too loose which could result in the
links separating from the balls in flight.
• Bearings: Maintenance of the bearings is a very important step to keep your helicopter flying in the most efficient condition. If the
bearings are not cared for, the helicopter can feel uncontrolled or very “sloppy.” The one-way bearing in the autorotation unit should
be cleaned using isopropyl alcohol and then lubed with a lightweight oil such as Tri-Flo approximately every 50 to 70 flights. All other
bearings typically exhibit very long life and normally only need to be replaced if they ever become notchy (sticky in places when turning)
or exhibit rolling resistance. If there happens to be a mishap, the bearings should be checked for notchiness.
• Oiling: It is important to apply a small amount of lightweight oil to any areas where a bushing may ride on a shaft especially after
replacing any of the parts with new ones after a crash. Some areas to oil:
Washout base and swashplate control ball area that rides on the main shaft
Tail rotor control pitch slider on the tail output shaft
• Head Dampeners: The rubber head dampeners in the head block will periodically wear and lose their elasticity. Worn out dampen-
ers can cause main rotor blade tracking problems as well as stability and control response issues. If you begin having trouble with the
blades going in and out of track during flight, or if the helicopter feels loose and “sloppy” during flight, it is likely time to replace the rub-
ber head dampeners. The rubber head dampeners can wear out in approximately 50 to 70 flights depending on how the model is
flown. When replacing the rubber head dampeners, it’s important to lubricate them with a silicone based grease to prevent friction.
• Tail Rotor Drive Belt
Even though the belt is manufactured from automotive grade materials, It’s typical for the tail drive belt to stretch slightly over the
first few flights. Adjust the belt tension by pulling the tail boom away from the helicopter after loosening the four bolts holding the tail
transmission box together. After approximately 20 to 40 flights, the belt elasticity will stabilize, requiring little to no additional tension
adjustment.

CENTURY SWIFT NX
Page 17
FIRST FLIGHT
Having followed the proper ESC and gyro arming and initialization procedures, confirmed proper control of the servos and motor,
and found a suitable flying area, your Swift NX is ready for flight.
Slowly raise the throttle/collective pitch (left-hand) stick, increasing the speed of the main rotor blades until the model begins to lift
off. Do not raise the throttle stick too quickly as the model could climb too fast causing you to lose control or make contact with ob-
jects above. As you start to fly your Swift NX, you will find that it takes small movements to control the helicopter. Do not give rapid
input as this will cause the helicopter to act erratically and possible cause you to lose control or crash the model.
Lift the model off the ground just a few inches and concentrate on balancing the throttle stick position so that the model holds a
steady hover altitude. In some cases it may be best to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just a few inches until you become
familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
If you are a beginner, we highly recommend the purchase of training gear. Training gear add a larger platform when training during
takeoff and landing. This prevents the helicopter from tipping over possible damaging the main blades which also prevents damage
to other critical parts.
Always fly your Swift NX in an open area and at least 25 ft away from yourself or any person or animal. During a hover, you should be
able to establish if the helicopter is drifting forward or backwards or left or right. This is when you want to trim your radio controls.
If the nose of the helicopter is turning to the left, click the rudder trim on the transmitter to the right. If the nose of the helicopter is
turning to the right, click the rudder trim on the transmitter to the left. Make small adjustments of the rudder trim on the transmit-
ter. Once you have this set, your Swift should no longer be drifting/turning left or right.
After you have trimmed the rudder, you can now trim the ailerons. If the helicopter is tilting to the left, click the trim adjustment for
the aileron (right hand stick, trim adjustments going left to right) to the right. If the helicopter is tilting to right, click the aileron trim
to the left. During this process you can also adjust the elevator trim. If the helicopter is tilting forward, click the elevator trim (right
hand stick, trim adjustments going up and down) down. If the helicopter is tilting backwards, click the elevator trim up.
Practice hovering by keeping the helicopter in one place with the tail pointed towards you. Make short hops about 1 to 2 feet in
height but do not suddenly bring the throttle stick all the way down as this will cut all power and cause your model to drop out. This
will cause you to break the landing skids or possibly other critical parts. After you get a feel for the controls, try to maintain a hover in
one spot at approximately 3 to 4 feet in height. Once you are confident enough to bring the Swift up to this height, you have passed
the barrier of “ground effects.” Essentially this means that you the turbulence from the main blades of the Swift NX are no longer
affecting the control of the helicopter in flight. This is where your Swift will feel more in control.
If at any time you have crashed or hit the blades on the ground, make sure to lower your throttle stick (left stick) all the way to it’s
lowest point. This is to prevent the ESC from drawing current if the blades have suddenly come to a complete stop. Failure to do so
can cause the ESC to draw excessive current causing the ESC to burn or expel smoke. If this has happened, the ESC will no longer
function and must be replaced. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
Another major point that you should keep in mind is the current draw from the battery. If at any time your Swift NX seems to require
more throttle to hold it in a hover, IMMEDIATELY land the helicopter to prevent sudden power loss and stop using your battery. After
you have done so, wait about 10-15 minutes before charging the battery.
This manual is provided as a guide. If at all possible, seek flight training from an experienced R/C helicopter pilot. If you require ad-
ditional training and you do not have access to an experienced R/C helicopter pilot, it is best to purchase a computer flight simulator.
Be safe and have fun.

AMA RULES & REGULATIONS
1) I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows or model flying demonstrations until it has been proven to be airwor-
thy by having been previously, successfully flight tested.
2) I will not fly my model higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will
give right-of-way and avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise flying
to avoid having models fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the flying site I use, and I will not willfully or deliberately fly my models in a
careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.
4) The maximum takeoff weight of a model is 55 pounds, except models flown under Experimental Aircraft rules.
5) I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name and address or AMA number on or in the model. (This does not apply to
models while being flown indoors.)
6) I will not operate models with metal-bladed propellers or with gaseous boosts, in which gases other than air enter their internal
combustion engine(s); nor will I operate models with extremely hazardous fuels such as those containing tetranitromethane or hy-
drazine.
1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground range check before the first flight of a new or repaired model.
2) I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of spectators until I become a qualified flier, unless assisted by an experienced helper.
3) At all flying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be established in front of which all flying takes place with the other side for
spectators. Only personnel involved with flying the aircraft are allowed at or in front of the flight line. Intentional flying behind the flight
line is prohibited.
