To switch on the helicopter, connect the plugs for the battery and
the helicopter. Wait 3 seconds until connection is established between
the controller and the receiver.
The remote control is possibly not correctly frequency bound with the
receiver on the helicopter.
Please carry out a frequency bind between the helicopter and the
remote control as described in “frequency bind between model and
remote control”.
The rotor blades do not rotate.
The ON/OFF-power switch is turned “OFF”. Turn the ON/OFF-power switch “ON”.
The rechargeable battery is too weak or has run out of power. Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the battery”).

The battery´s power is not sufficient. Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the battery”).
During flight, the helicopter
loses speed and height
without any obvious reason.
The battery is too weak. Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the battery”).
The helicopter lands too
quickly.
Loss of throttle control. Push the throttle down slowly.
Throttle has been pushed down too quickly.
Troubleshooting
When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed room without any
persons or obstacles which is as big as possible. Due to the size and controllability of
the helicopter experienced pilotes may be able to fly the helicopter in relatively small
rooms. For your first flights we strongly recommend to choose a room with a minimum
floor space of 3 x 4 metres and 2.40 metres of height. After having trimmed your heli-
copter for flight and having made yourself familiar with the controlling and its functions
you may start flying in smaller and less open environments.

Choosing the flight area
When shifting the lever for right/left
pitch to the left or right, the helicopter
pitches to the left or to the right and flies
to the left and right respectively. Use
the timmer for right/left pitch in order to
achieve a stable neutral position and to
avoid that the helicopter will fly to the
left or right when hovering without
moving the lever for right-/left pitch
After having made yourself familiar with
the main control functions and having
chosen an appropriate area for flying
the helicopter, you can start the first
flight.
