Instruction Manual
Battery Requirement for Apache:
Requires:3.7V LiPo Rechargeable Battery Pack (included and
installed)
Battery Requirements for Controller:
Rating: DC 9V
Requires:6 x 1.5V “AA”size batteries (not included)
Safety Tips
• Read through the entire instruction manual before flying yourApache.
•This product should be flown only indoors.
• Make sure that you and other people stay 3 to 6 feet (or 1 to 2 meters) away from the Apache while
you begin flight.
•Always keep your eye on the flying toy to prevent it from flying, landing,or crashing on or near your
head or body, or on other people.
• Never disassemble or attempt to modify the Apache.You could damage the product and create the
potential for damage or injury.
• Never put your hands or face close to rotating parts.Doing so risks injury. Never operate the Apache
while sitting on the floor or on a chair — always fly from a position that lets you get out of the way
quickly if necessary.
•Always switch off both the Apache and the controller when you leave the controller unattended. If the
power switch is left on, unintended stick operation might occur (for example,if the controller falls
face-forward onto the floor).
• Due to the dangers of the rotating parts no one under the age of eight should be allowed to operate
theApache.
• Never use parts that are damaged.
Operating Tips
•Always move the controller’s throttle stick to the down position after a crash.
• Do not fly in direct sunlight or very bright lighting — these can affect the control system of your toy.
• Do not cover the infrared signal emitter of the controller.If you do, no signals can be sent to your
Apache.
• Do not place any other labels or stickers onto the Apache.These will interfere with its ability to receive
the infrared signal.
•Two Apache models cannot be flown on the same infrared band.
Control Tips
•When moving the sticks of the controller, avoid pushing them immediately to the extreme positions.
They should be moved gradually like steering a bicycle, not sharply like operating computer game
joysticks.
•After completing the trimming procedure, beginner pilots should focus exclusively on mastering the
throttle stick first.Even if the Apache turns around a bit by itself,there is no need to keep it flying
straight — just learn how to maintain a constant altitude of about 3 feet (or 1 meter) with small inputs
from the throttle stick.After accomplishing that, you can learn to take control with the direction stick.
Problem: Blades can’t turn.
Cause: • ON/OFF switch is OFF.
•Weak battery.
Solution: • Set switch to ON.
• Recharge the battery.
Safety Tips
Trouble Shooting
Problem: Apache suddenly stops flying and drops.
Cause: Too little power.
Solution: Recharge the battery.
Problem: Loss of control.
Cause: •Another infrared control device is interfering.
• Strong lighting is interfering.
• Infrared band selector switch is in wrong position.
Solution: •Avoid other devices with infrared controls.
• Choose another flying location.
• Set the infrared band selector switch to the same
letter found on theApache.
• Place theApache on a smooth surface.An uneven floor surface will affect its take-off.
• Slowly increase the throttle.
• DO NOT look at the controller while flying. Focus on the Apache.
•As soon as the Apache leaves the ground,reduce the throttle slightly.Adjust the throttle as
necessary to maintain altitude.
• Gently add throttle if theApache descends.
• Gently reduce throttle if theApache climbs.
• For turning,give short and small inputs to the direction stick.(Most beginners will initially over-
control theApache.)
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
1.Indoors, with little air movement.Avoid circulating air from heating and air conditioning.
2.Room sizes should be at least 10 feet (3 m) wide x 10 feet (3 m) long x 8 feet (2.4 m) high.
3.Avoid flying in areas with electric fans, air conditioning,reading lamps or other objects that
could interfere.

Up and Down Hovering:
From steady flight,slowly pushing the throttle stick upward will make
theApache fly higher.To make it fly lower,simply lower the stick a little.
Smooth flying takes only small changes in the stick position.
Left and Right Turns:
Hold theApache steady in the air. Push the
direction stick left to turn left,and push the
direction stick right to turn right.
Moving Forward and Backward:
Hold theApache steady in the air. Push the direction
stick forward to move forward,and push the direction
backward right to move backward.

Instruction Manual
Battery Requirement for Apache:
Requires:3.7V LiPo Rechargeable Battery Pack (included and
installed)
Battery Requirements for Controller:
Rating: DC 9V
Requires:6 x 1.5V “AA”size batteries (not included)
Safety Tips
• Read through the entire instruction manual before flying yourApache.
•This product should be flown only indoors.
• Make sure that you and other people stay 3 to 6 feet (or 1 to 2 meters) away from the Apache while
you begin flight.
•Always keep your eye on the flying toy to prevent it from flying, landing,or crashing on or near your
head or body, or on other people.
• Never disassemble or attempt to modify the Apache.You could damage the product and create the
potential for damage or injury.
• Never put your hands or face close to rotating parts.Doing so risks injury. Never operate the Apache
while sitting on the floor or on a chair — always fly from a position that lets you get out of the way
quickly if necessary.
•Always switch off both the Apache and the controller when you leave the controller unattended. If the
power switch is left on, unintended stick operation might occur (for example,if the controller falls
face-forward onto the floor).
• Due to the dangers of the rotating parts no one under the age of eight should be allowed to operate
theApache.
• Never use parts that are damaged.
Operating Tips
•Always move the controller’s throttle stick to the down position after a crash.
• Do not fly in direct sunlight or very bright lighting — these can affect the control system of your toy.
• Do not cover the infrared signal emitter of the controller.If you do, no signals can be sent to your
Apache.
• Do not place any other labels or stickers onto the Apache.These will interfere with its ability to receive
the infrared signal.
•Two Apache models cannot be flown on the same infrared band.
Control Tips
•When moving the sticks of the controller, avoid pushing them immediately to the extreme positions.
They should be moved gradually like steering a bicycle, not sharply like operating computer game
joysticks.
•After completing the trimming procedure, beginner pilots should focus exclusively on mastering the
throttle stick first.Even if the Apache turns around a bit by itself,there is no need to keep it flying
straight — just learn how to maintain a constant altitude of about 3 feet (or 1 meter) with small inputs
from the throttle stick.After accomplishing that, you can learn to take control with the direction stick.
Problem: Blades can’t turn.
Cause: • ON/OFF switch is OFF.
•Weak battery.
Solution: • Set switch to ON.
• Recharge the battery.
Safety Tips
Trouble Shooting
Problem: Apache suddenly stops flying and drops.
Cause: Too little power.
Solution: Recharge the battery.
Problem: Loss of control.
Cause: •Another infrared control device is interfering.
• Strong lighting is interfering.
• Infrared band selector switch is in wrong position.
Solution: •Avoid other devices with infrared controls.
• Choose another flying location.
• Set the infrared band selector switch to the same
letter found on theApache.
• Place theApache on a smooth surface.An uneven floor surface will affect its take-off.
• Slowly increase the throttle.
• DO NOT look at the controller while flying. Focus on the Apache.
•As soon as the Apache leaves the ground,reduce the throttle slightly.Adjust the throttle as
necessary to maintain altitude.
• Gently add throttle if theApache descends.
• Gently reduce throttle if theApache climbs.
• For turning,give short and small inputs to the direction stick.(Most beginners will initially over-
control theApache.)
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
1.Indoors, with little air movement.Avoid circulating air from heating and air conditioning.
2.Room sizes should be at least 10 feet (3 m) wide x 10 feet (3 m) long x 8 feet (2.4 m) high.
3.Avoid flying in areas with electric fans, air conditioning,reading lamps or other objects that
could interfere.

Up and Down Hovering:
From steady flight,slowly pushing the throttle stick upward will make
theApache fly higher.To make it fly lower,simply lower the stick a little.
Smooth flying takes only small changes in the stick position.
Left and Right Turns:
Hold theApache steady in the air. Push the
direction stick left to turn left,and push the
direction stick right to turn right.
Moving Forward and Backward:
Hold theApache steady in the air. Push the direction
stick forward to move forward,and push the direction
backward right to move backward.
