Flying the Nano CPS
Consult your local laws and ordinances
before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
We recommend fl ying your aircraft outside
in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium.
Always avoid fl ying near houses, trees, wires
and buildings. You should also be careful to
avoid fl ying in areas where there are many
people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or
soccer fi elds.
It is best to fl y from a smooth fl at surface as
this will allow the model to slide without tip-
ping over. Keep the helicopter approximately
2 ft (600mm) above the ground. Keep the tail
pointed toward you during initial fl ights to
keep the control orientation consistent. Re-
leasing the stick in Beginner Mode will allow
the helicopter to level itself and activating
the Panic Recovery button will level the
helicopter quickly. If you become disoriented
while in Beginner Mode, slowly lower the
throttle stick to land softly.
During initial fl ights, only attempt takeoff,
landing and hovering in one spot.
Takeo
Place the model onto a fl at, 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 fl ies as desired. Once the trim is
adjusted, begin fl ying the model.
Hovering
Making small corrections on the transmit-
ter, try to hold the helicopter in one spot.
If fl ying 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 direc-
tion to stop the movement.
After you become comfortable hovering,
you can progress into fl ying 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 fl ying with the
tail in different orientations. It is important
to keep in mind that the fl ight 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.
First Flight Preparation
• Remove and inspect contents
• Begin charging the fl ight battery
• Program your computer transmitter (BNF)
• Install the fl ight battery in the helicopter
(once it has been fully charged)
• Bind your transmitter (BNF)
• Familiarize yourself with the controls
• Find a suitable area for fl ying
Flying Checklist
❏ Always turn the transmitter on fi rst
❏ Plug the fl ight battery into the lead from
the ESC
❏ Allow the receiver and ESC to initialize and
arm properly
❏ Fly the model
❏ Land the model
❏ Unplug the fl ight battery from the ESC
❏ Always turn the transmitter off last
Panic Recovery
If you get into distress while fl ying in any
mode, push and hold the Bind/Panic Switch
and move the control sticks to their neutral
position. SAFE technology will immediately
return the aircraft to an upright level attitude,
if the aircraft is at a suffi cient height with no
obstacles in its path. Return the collective
stick to 50% and release the Panic Switch
to turn off Panic Recovery and return to the
current fl ight mode.
• This mode is intended to provide the
pilot with the confi dence to continue to
improve their fl ight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and
return all other transmitter controls to
neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level
upright attitude the negative collective is
reduced preventing the user from pushing
the model into the ground.
NOTICE: Before releasing the panic
switch, make sure the collective stick has
been returned to the 50% position. Once
the panic switch has been released, full
negative collective becomes available,
which could cause the Nano CPS to
descend rapidly.
