4. FLIGHT CONTROL:

Hover up and down:

When the helicopter flies steadily, you can slowly push the throttle stick up to make helicopter fly higher, or release the stick a bit to make helicopter fly lower. Only small amounts of stick position change are required for smooth flying. (Pic.19 & Pic.20)

Accelerates & Decelerates:

If you turn the helicopter slowly to the counter clockwise, the helicopter will decelerate. And when turned it to the clockwise, it will accelerate.

Normal Forward Action:

Hold the helicopter at a height. Push the LEFT Forward Button once to make helicopter fly forward at normal speed for a while.

Turn left and right:

Hold the helicopter at a height. Push the rudder stick toward left to turn counter clockwise

(pic.21), and push the rudder stick toward right to turn clockwise. (pic.22)

Fast Forward Action:

Hold the helicopter at a height. Push the RIGHT Forward Button once to make helicopter fly forward at fast speed for a while.

Continuous Forward Action:

Hold the helicopter at a height. Push both the LEFT and RIGHT Forward Buttons at the same time to make helicopter fly forward continuously.

5. LIFT-OFF PROCEDURE (after Trimming procedure):

- Put the helicopter on a smooth surface. Uneven floor surface will affect its lifting off.

- Slowly increase the throttle.

- DO NOT look at the transmitter but focus on the helicopter.

- As soon as the helicopter leaves ground, reduce the throttle slightly. (in the worst case, helicopter will go back to the floor, but that is better than crashing against the ceiling)

- VERY gently add the throttle if the helicopter goes down.

- VERY gently reduce the throttle if the helicopter goes up.

- For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (most beginners will easily overcontrol the helicopter)

- For moving forward, turn the helicopter pointing to more open space before pushing the forward buttons.

6. ENVIRONMENT FOR FLIGHT:

Choose the place which meet the following condition:

1. Indoor environment with calm air condition. Beware of the air circulation from the air-conditioner.

2. Safety area: It is highly recommended that there is no electric fan, air-conditioner, reading lamp or other dangerous objects to flying.

How To Play

- Set the band on transmitter the same to the helicopter.

- Set the ON/OFF switch on helicopter to ON, the power indicator will flash, BE SURE THE TRANSMITTER IS “OFF” when turn on the helicopter.

- Place the helicopter on the ground with the tail point towards you and the nose facing away from you.

- Set the throttle stick on transmitter to MINIMUM throttle, and then turn on the transmitter.

1. DRIVE ON LAND:

- Steer the helicopter by adjusting the control stick of transmitter in different combinations to perform different action (pic.7).

- When the helicopter keeps turning clockwise(pic.8), push and release the left side of trim repeatedly till the turning stops and go straight (pic.9).

- When the helicopter keeps turning counter clockwise (pic.10), push and release the right side of the trim repeatedly till the turning stops and go straight (pic.11).

Tips for driving:

- The acceleration varies at different stick position.

- The turning speed and radius may vary at different stick position combination.

- Operate only on flat, smooth (but not slippery), dry surfaces and low pile carpet, as hair, carpet or dirt can affect the operation of the helicopter.

- Don't drive your helicopter in sand or through water or snow, if your helicopter get wet, wipe with a towel and allow to dry completely.

2. FLY IN AIR:

- Push the throttle stick to the “Take off area” when you press the take off button. The helicopter will take off from land (pic.12).

- When you release the throttle stick on transmitter to MINIMUM throttle.

The helicopter will return to driving mode.

3. TRIMMING THE HELICOPTER:

- Gently push the throttle up to raise your helicopter about 0.5 to 1 meter high.

- When the helicopter spirals clockwise (pic.13) or keeps turning clockwise(pic.14), push and release the left side of trim repeatedly till the turning stops and helicopter flies straight (pic.15).

- When the helicopter spirals counter clockwise (pic.16) or keeps turning counter clockwise (pic.17), push and release the right side of the trim repeatedly till the turning stops and the helicopter flies straight & go straight

(pic.18).

- The helicopter can be out of trim after some severe or multiple crashes, improper storage or changing of temperature... etc.You can simply solve this problem following the below procedures.

Tip!

OPERATION

- After you crash your helicopter, you need to restart the helicopter by slide it’s

ON/OFF switch to “ON” again.

- Don’t operate the helicopter under the direct bright light it will affect the control system of your helicopter.

- Don’t cover the IR Diode of the transmitter as it will block the IR signal.

- Don’t stick any other label onto the helicopter as it will affect receiving of IR signal.

Tip!

CONTROLLING

- For controlling the sticks on transmitter, try not to push the sticks immediately to the extreme position. It should be like steering a bicycle rather than pressing computer game sticks.

- For the novice Pilot (after the trimming procedure is completed), it is highly recommended to focus exclusively on learning to control the Throttle stick first. If the helicopter turns around by itself there is no need to keep it straight. For the first flight, it is important to learn to keep the helicopter at a constant altitude of around

1 meter with very gentle inputs on the Throttle stick. Once the Pilot masters this, he may start learning to take control with the direction stick.

- For the novice pilot, it is recommended to trim the helicopter in such a way that a very slow forward flight is initiated. Avoid to go into backwards flight untill you feel confident.

Tip!

SAFETY

- Parents: Please read the operating instructions carefully with your children prior to the first use.

- This product is designed for indoor use only. Wind and short transmission range can lead to loss of control.

- Fly the helicopter only in open indoor areas and keep clear of obstacles.

- Always keep your eyes on the helicopter and prevent it from landing or crashing near your head, your body, or on other people.

- Never take apart or attempt to modify the product. This could damage the product.

- Always keep rotating parts away from your hands, hair or face to avoid injury. Stand during operation in order to get out of the way of the helicopter quickly if necessary.

- Always switch the helicopter and the transmitter to the “OFF” position when not flying.

- Never allow young children to use this product without adult supervision.

- Never use this product if it has damaged parts.

- Never hold or throw any objects into the running rotors.

- Keep hands, hair and loose clothes away from the propeller when the power switch is ON.

- Keep instructions for future reference.

- Warning! Do not touch the running propeller.

- Training by experienced adults is required for flying helicopters.
