PRE-FLIGHT
1. Lay your helicopter on the ground at least 6 feet away from obstructions, animals
or people.
2. Move the helicopter’s power switch located in the main housing to ON and make
sure the throttle on the remote is in the down position.
3. Stand back, and switch the remote’s power switch to ON.
4. Increase pressure on the throttle stick until the helicopter is able to just barely
hover over the floor.
5. Back off on the throttle to maintain a steady height and check to see if the he-
licopter leans in one direction or spins. If the helicopter is not stable hovering
over the floor, make micro-adjustments to the trim dials on the remote control to
correct. You may also use the included screwdriver to adjust the potentiometer
located on the helicopter’s circuit board.

• Do not fly in extreme temperatures above 113°F/45° C, or below 50° F/10° C as
doing so will affect performance and may damage the helicopter.
• Do not fly in strong wind as windy conditions will limit control ability.
• Select a large, wide-open area and make sure there are no obstructions, ani-
mals or people nearby.
• If your helicopter is heading for a collision with a spectator or hard object, cut the
throttle to prevent damage.
