MPORTANT NOTES
•This radio controlled helicopter is not a toy.
•This radio controlled helicopter can be very dangero s.
•This radio controlled helicopter is a technically complex device which has to be b ilt and handled very caref lly.
•This radio controlled helicopter m st be b ilt following these instr ctions. This man al provides the necessary information to
correctly assemble the model. It is necessary to caref lly follow all the instr ctions.
•Inexperienced pilots m st be monitored by expert pilots.
•All operators m st wear safety glasses and take appropriate safety preca tions.
•A radio controlled helicopter m st only be sed in open spaces witho t obstacles, and far eno gh from people to minimize the
possibility of accidents or of inj ry to property or persons.
•A radio controlled helicopter can behave in an nexpected manner, ca sing loss of control of the model, making it very
dangero s.
•Lack of care with assembly or maintenance can res lt in an nreliable and dangero s model.
•Neither SAB Heli Division nor its agents have any control over the assembly, maintenance and use of this product. Therefore,
no responsibility can be traced back to the manufacturer. You hereby agree to release SAB Heli Division from any
responsibility or liability arising from the use of this product.
SAFETY GU DEL NES
•Fly only in areas dedicated to the se of model helicopters.
•Follow all control proced res for the radio freq ency system.
•It is necessary that yo know yo r radio system well. Check all f nctions of the transmitter before every flight.
•The blades of the model rotate at a very high speed; be aware of the danger they pose and the damage they may ca se.
•Never fly in the vicinity of other people.
NOTES FOR ASSEMBLY
Please refer to this man al for assembly instr ctions for this model.
Follow the order of assembly indicated. The instr ctions are divided into chapters, which are str ct red in a way that each step
is based on the work done in the previo s step. Changing the order of assembly may res lt in additional or nnecessary steps.
Use thread lockers and retaining compo nds as indicated. In general, each bolt or screw that engages with a metal part req ires
thread lock.
Factory pre-assembled components have been assembled with all the req ired thread lock and l bricants, and have passed
q ality control. It is not necessary to disassemble and re-assemble them.
It is necessary to pay attention to the symbols listed below:

nside the main box there are:
The assembly process is described in the following chapters
of this manual.
Each phase begins with a green frame which gives the
box, the bag with screws (and miscellaneous items), and
the foam tray with the components required for the
phase.
nside the main box:
Box 2: Canopy, Blade Holder.
Box 3: Boom, Blades, Tail blades, Carbon rod.
Box 4: Mechanical parts in 4 trays:
Tray 1: Main rotor
Tray 2: Carbon frame and tail rotor
Tray 3: Transmission
Tray 4: Main str ct re
Box 5: Bags
Box 6: Carbon parts
Box 7: Combo Kit (optional)

The man fact ring process of the
carbon parts often leaves micro-b rrs.
We recommend de-b rring the edges
to minimize the risk of electrical wire
c ts, etc .

Bottom holes: 64mm max height batteries
Top holes: 60mm max height batteries

NOTE 2
The pinion and gear are designed to have zero
backlash. This leads to initial “ro gh” rotation.
After some r n in flights (3-5 flights) it will begin to
rotate freely, ens ring perfect contact and the ability
to transmit maxim m power.
It is advisable to l bricate these two elements with a
l bricant like WD40.
Main Shaft
( H0021-S )
NOTE 1
When yo tighten the collar (H0020-S) on the main
shaft, ens re there is no axial play.

NOTE.
Position witho t preload. Insert the screw in the hole
thro gh the al min m s pport as in the pict re.

To maximize space
for the batteries,
it is advisable to
shorten the motor
shaft.
Follow the
dimensions given
in this drawing. For
the c t, yo can
se an electric tool
s ch as a “Dremel”
with a c t-off disc.
