IMPORTANT: To achieve the maximum flight times it is essential to use good quality
1.5V alkaline AA batteries in your transmitter.
Cheap batteries may look like a good option, but with poor quality batteries:
The helicopter may not charge at all
The helicopter will take longer to charge
Your flight times will be less
The number of recharges will be minimal

heLICOpTeR fLYING INSTRUCTIONS
TAKING OFF
1� Gently push the throttle stick away from you� The main rotor blades will start to
spin�
2� Keep advancing the throttle stick until the helicopter leaves the ground�
3� To begin with, move the throttle stick up and down in very small movements to
find the correct amount of throttle to keep the helicopter at a constant height�
ADJUSTING THE LEFT-RIGHT ROTATION TRIM
1� Ideally the helicopter needs to be trimmed so that when the helicopter is in a
hover, the nose of the helicopter does not move to the left or the right�
2� If the nose moves to the right, press the L� trim button several times until it flies
straight�
3� If the nose moves to the left, press the R� trim button several times until it flies
straight�
4� Although the trim button can be used to reduce the amount of rotation in either
direction during hover, it cannot completely prevent it� So during flight it may be
necessary to use the Left/Right rotation stick to adjust it�
Press left trim until heli
flies straight
Press right trim until heli
flies straight
4� If you get into trouble or loose orientation, simply move the throttle stick to its
lowest position and the helicopter rotors will stop spinning and the helicopter
will land� This is a much better option than allowing the helicopter to crash into
something with the rotor blades spinning�

6
LEFT-RIGHT ROTATION
1� Now that you have the helicopter hovering you can learn to move it around the
room by using the stick on the opposite side of the transmitter to the throttle stick�
2� To make the nose turn to the left, move the stick to the left� Centre the stick to
stop the helicopter rotating to the left�
3� To make the nose turn to the right, move the stick to the right� Centre the stick to
stop the helicopter turning to the right�
Rotate nose to the Left Rotate nose to the Right
FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS
1� Now using the stick on the opposite side of the transmitter to the throttle stick,
move the stick up to make the helicopter move forwards� Centre the stick to stop
the helicopter moving forwards�
2� Move the stick down, backwards, or towards you to make the helicopter move
backwards� Centre the stick to stop the helicopter moving backwards�
3� As you get more confident, you can combine movements at the same time to
fly circles, figure eights, climbing and descending circles, nose in flying and
precision landings on objects� The possibilities are endless� ENJOY!
