Battery and Charger Warnings and Guidelines The transmitter included with the Scout CX has been designed to safely charge the included Li-Po battery. CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury, and/or property damage. • By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries. • If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately.
Before Flying 1 3 2 Lower the throttle to off, then power on the transmitter. Hold the bottom of the Scout CX as shown to keep from damaging the circuit board. 3 Insert and connect the Li-Po battery into the helicopter battery holder. Make sure to align the red dots on both the battery and the landing gear. Put the helicopter on a flat, level surface. The helicopter gyro stabilizes at this time. Do not allow the helicopter to move until the red LED on the helicopter is solid.
Flight Control For smooth control of the Scout CX, always make small control movements. All directions are described as if you were sitting in the helicopter. For example -- when the helicopter nose is pointing toward you, left rudder (turn) will move the nose of the helicopter in the left direction (your right). •Flying up and down: When your Scout CX is stable in the air, gently push/pull the throttle stick up/down to make it fly climb/descend.
Lifting Off for the First Flight: 1. Pull the throttle stick down to the bottom of its travel and then turn ON the transmitter. 2. Place the Scout CX on the ground with the tail pointing toward you. 3. Gently move the throttle stick to 1/3 throttle. The rotor blades will spin and the Scout CX will climb. Climb to 1.0–1.5 meters (3–5 feet) high. Reduce and add throttle as needed to hover and descend. Use smooth control stick movement when you are flying the helicopter.
How to be a Successful Pilot • Read the instruction manual carefully (especially the Troubleshooting section if you’re having problems). • Small, smooth control inputs are best. Quickly moving the stick just produces instability and no real flight control. • Make sure the flight battery is fully charged before each flight. It’s better to run the flight battery down to 50% or lower before recharging. A good, fully charged battery should be good for approximately 4 minutes of flight time.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding The Scout CX uses 2.4GHz radio frequency band and requires a “binding” procedure. Binding teaches the receiver the specific code of the transmitter, so it will only communicate to this transmitter. There should be no need to bind the transmitter and receiver prior to use. If you ever need to re-bind the transmitter and receiver, please follow the steps below. Binding Procedure: 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter. 2. Power off the transmitter. 3.
