Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to fly your aircraft.
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm winds
(3 MPH or less) or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid
flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should
also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many
people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields.
It is best to fly from a smooth flat surface as this will allow
the model to slide without tipping over. Keep the helicopter
approximately 2 ft (600mm) above the ground. Keep the
tail pointed toward you during initial flights to keep the
control orientation consistent. Releasing the stick while in
Stability, low bank angle mode or Stability, high bank angle
mode will allow the helicopter to level itself and activating
the Panic Switch will level the helicopter quickly. If you
become disoriented, slowly lower the throttle stick to land
softly. During initial flights, only attempt hovering the model
in one spot and takeoff and landing.
Takeoff
Place the model onto a flat, level surface free of obstacles
and walk back 30 feet (10 meters). Slowly increase the
throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm)
off the ground and check the trim so the model flies as
desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin flying the model.
Typical flight time for the included battery is approximately
6 minutes.
Hovering
Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the
helicopter in one spot. If flying in calm winds, the model should
require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the cyclic
stick and returning it to center the model should level itself.
The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the
cycle stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.
Do not use the trims on the transmitter to eliminate drift.
If the helicopter does not hold a reasonable hover in calm
conditions, perform the Drift Calibration.
After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress
into flying the model to different locations, keeping the tail
pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and
descend using the throttle stick. Once you're comfortable
with these maneuvers, you can attempt flying with the tail
in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that
the flight control inputs will rotate with the helicopter, so
always try to picture the control inputs relative to the nose
of the helicopter. For example, forward will always drop the
nose of the helicopter.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery
voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and the
red LED on the ESC flashes, land the aircraft immediately
and recharge the flight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge
during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Landing
To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level
hover. After landing, disconnect and remove the battery
from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully
charge your battery before storing it. During storage, make
sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
Flight Modes
Stability, Low Bank Angle Mode (FM-0): The receiver
LED shows solid green. This flight mode allows a low
bank angle and slower flight speed. When the cyclic stick
is released the model will self-level.
Stability, High Bank Angle Mode (FM-1): The receiver
LED shows solid blue. This flight mode allows a high bank
angle and faster flight speed. When the cyclic stick is
released the model will self-level.
Agility Mode (FM-2): The receiver LED shows solid red.
The bank angle is not limited. When the cyclic stick is
released the model will not self-level.
