Radio Transmitter Binding
The transmitter and reciever on board the rc
helicopter are bound at the factory. This means
that the helicopter will be ready to y out of the
box. A solid link has been created between the
helicopter and transmitter when:
The red light on the helicopter ashes
quickly for 5 seconds and goes solid.
A link has not been created if:
The red light on the helicopter ahses for 5
seconds and then blinks slowly.
To re-bind the transmitter to the helicopter:
1. Make sure the transmitter is off
2. Plug the battery into the helicopter, the light
will ash for 5 seconds, duringthis time
press down on the throttle (left) stick of the
transmitter and turn it on, release the stick.
3. The transmitter will ash green/red and
beep.
4. The light on the helicopter should then go
solid red, meaning the binding is complete.
5. Turn both off, then the transmitter on
followed by the helicopter, you should now
have control.

time is comparatively slow. This is ideal for
beginners.
Senior Control Mode
Under this mode the ying speed and reaction
time is much quicker. This is ideal for more
advanced pilots who feel comfortable with the
helicopter.
To Change Modes

Please Note
1. The Helicopter uses one 3.7V lithium
polymer battery, the transmitter uses 6 AA
alkaline batteries.
2. Please make sure you check the polarity
when installing or replacing batteries.
3. Don’t charge non re-chargeable batteries.
4. Always check that electrical wires, plugs,
shells and other parts are not damaged. If
they are, do not use them.
5. Never y if the battery power is getting low,
this will result in a damaged battery.
6. If/when you bump teh helicopter on objects
or have a hard landing, land and check for
damage.
7. Be ware of damage caused by collisions - to
both the helicopter and object.
8. Do not play with the helciopter on or near
roads or other busy areas.
9. Do not use the helicopter if it is raining, or is
going to rain.
10. Keep away from re, other people and any
material that may cause a short-circuit.
11. If you dont use teh lithium batteries for a
long time, they may not hold a charge,
please check and replace before ying.
Training
Choose a suitable area, a large space without
any obstacles, preferably indoors with no wind.
1. Place the helicopter in the middle of the
room and point it away from you. Power on
the transmitter then the helicopter.
2. Check servos are moving and you have
control.
3. Slowly raise the throttle until the helicopter
begins to lift off. At this time if the helicopter
moves in any direction without input, you
need to use the transmitter trims to counter-
act this movement (if it moves left, move left/
right trim to right).
4. Once the helicopter lifts off directly vertically
you have it trimmed. Try and keep the
helicopetr hovering at about 0.5m with small
stick adjustments.
5. Below 0.3m the helicopter will be harder to
control because of ‘ground effect’.
6. Experiment with moving the helicopter in
one direction at a time, and the back into a
hover.
7. Pratice landing in a xed spot, from higher
and higher points.
8. Once these manouvres are mastered,
move onto more advanced ying, yaw the
helicopter and try to hover sideways on and
then ‘nose in’.
Exercises
• Leapfrog - taking off and landing quickly
again, move onto larger and larger ‘leaps’.
• Hovering at a xed point.
• Turn left/right, y forwards and backwards,
move left/move right.
• Rotating 360 degrees.
• Hold hover with heli turned 90 degrees left/
right.
• Hold hover with heli faces towards you -
‘nose in’.
• Quadric hover training:
1. Dont yaw the heli, y in a box shape,
forwards, right, back, left.
2. Do the same with heli on its side.
3. Do the same with heli ‘nose in’.
• Try gure of 8 ying.
