INFRARED MULTI CHANNEL CONTROL SYSTEM
Your Execuheli II™ utilizes an automatic multi-channel selection system that allows up to 3 people to fly side by side in
the same wireless range.
FOR ONE PERSON PLAY:
1. Before starting, make sure that both your controller and helicopter are in the power off position.
2. Select the desired flight channel (a, b or c) from the controller and turn the controller on (see diagram D).
3. Next, turn on the helicopter and set it on a table or hold it in your hand from underneath. Make sure your hands and
body are away from the helicopter blades.
4. Move the left throttle stick all the way up and back down again one time to pair the helicopter to the controller.
NOTE: The helicopter blades will NOT spin.
5. Lift the left throttle stick slowly one more time. Now your blades should spin and you are ready to play!
6. Note: If you turn your helicopter off or the battery runs out, you will need to pair the helicopter and controller again.
FOR TWO OR THREE PERSON PLAY:
1. Before starting, make sure that ALL the helicopters and controllers are in the power off position.
2. Each individual player must select a different flight channel (a, b or c) on his/her own controller. If more than one person is on
the same flight channel, there will be interference.
3. Only one person at a time should pair their helicopter by following steps 3 thru 5 above.
4. When a player’s helicopter is paired and working it should be left on while the next player/s pair their helicopters.
5. Note: If you turn your helicopter off or the battery runs out, you will need to pair the helicopter and controller again.
FLYING TIPS
• It is recommended that you operate the helicopter in a wide indoor space. You should allow at least a 10-foot radius.
• The helicopter is designed for INDOOR USE ONLY. Never pilot the helicopter near buildings, power lines, people,
animals, vehicles, homes, trees or other large objects nearby.
• Make sure you are not wearing any loose or long-hanging clothing.
• Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.
• If you are flying the helicopter with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.
• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the helicopter in zero wind conditions. Close all open doors
or windows, and turn off any nearby fans. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the helicopter.

EXECUHELI II PROPELLER SYSTEM
Your Execuheli II propeller system is a precision instrument that may need repair or replacement from time to
time for optimal ight function. Crash landing from high-speed aerial ights may cause damage to your
Execuheli II propeller or propeller connecting rods.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If your helicopter loses its ability to y correctly, please inspect the propeller system carefully for the following
two common issues:
1. Replacing Connecting Rod: The connecting rod is a small “handcu” style device that stabilizes the “upper”
singular. There is one connecting rod on the upper propeller. Please see Diagram 1.
If a connecting rod is broken or missing simply replace it by removing the existing broken unit and replacing it
with a new one. You may have to use slight pressure when reattaching both ends of the new connecting rod.
Make sure that the new connecting rod is secured and locked in place. See Diagram 2. For changing
connecting rod, make sure there is no damage to the actual blade or arm that holds the connecting rod in
place. If there is you must replace the entire blade system.
2. Replacing Upper and Lower Propellers: The propeller is subject to damage as you learn to properly y and
control your Execuheli II. If after a crash your helicopter has loss of control or ies erratically you should carefully
inspect your entire propeller system for any sign of damage. Most common are cracked or chipped blade,
broken connecting rod, frozen balance bar (this is when the balancing bar and blade are jammed and can not
move freely up and down). To replace the propeller blades follow diagrams 3 through 12.
KEY POINTS:
Always be careful when using your Execuheli II.To avoid future damage follow these simple key points:
1. Make sure you have a large room with high ceilings and open space with no obstructions like furniture,
lamps, chandeliers etc.
2. When learning to y try to keep your helicopter in the center of the room, away from walls and ceilings.
3. Don’t go full speed ahead! The Stealth Flyer accelerates quickly. Learn how to adjust the throttle and keep the
helicopter at a stable level; slightly above eye level is best for stable ight. Try to be smooth and consistent on
the throttle.
4. Attempt your early landings on couches, beds or other soft objects or simply catch it in your hand. Also it is
advisable for beginners to use the Execuheli II over carpeted oors while learning how to successfully y your
helicopter.
5. Close all open windows and doors, turn o air conditioners and fans. Remember the Stealth Flyer is an
extremely light ight toy and is susceptible to even the mildest draft. REMEMBER NEVER FLY YOUR
HELICOPTER OUTDOORS AS THIS WILL LEAD TO CERTAIN DAMAGE!
6. IMPORTANT! When the Stealth Flyer begins to lose control make sure to immediately let go of the throttle
stick. This will drastically reduce damage to the Stealth Flyer blade system.
7. If the helicopter is lying sideways on the ground due to poor or crash landing, never try to stand the
helicopter up using the throttle and spinning the propeller (this may damage your blade system). Always walk
over to the helicopter and pick it up. The helicopter should only be launched from a level “upright position”, on
either a at surface or from your hand (always use parental supervision).
