YOUR FIRST FLIGHT
Never aim the camera at a very strong light source such as the sun, a nearby floodlight or
car headlight or a powerful flashlight. This may destroy the camera and screen. If this
occurs, you should return the unit to us for repair or replacement at your expense.
Move the throttle control completely forward
and back twice. Stop this action with the
knob in the full-back position. This will
synchronize the controller and the
helicopter. When the two are synchronized
the red LED will glow steadily.
Slowly move the throttle forward. The
blades will rotate. Continue moving the
throttle forward until the helicopter begins to
lift off the ground.
Reduce the blade speed slowly by moving
the throttle slowly backward. Your helicopter
should make a smooth touchdown.
To control the direction of the Eagle Spy’s flight,
use the knob on the right hand side of the
controller to navigate left, right, forward and back.
If the tail of the helicopter begins to swing left or
right you should slowly turn the trim knob until the
helicopter stays pointing straight ahead. Slowly
advance the throttle to make the helicopter climb
higher. Use the right-hand control knob to
change direction. With practice you should be
able to hover by using this control knob.
HOW TO USE
3. 4.
Some function screens will show a battery icon in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
As battery power is used the bars that make up the battery icon will disappear one by one.
When the lithium-polymer battery needs to be recharged a “Battery Low” icon will briefly
appear and the battery icon will turn red and flash on and off several times.
Attach the USB cord and connect the viewer to a computer’s USB port as described in the
above section “GETTING STARTED.”

BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
This unit uses six AA 1.5V batteries. Always use fresh batteries.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix batteries of different types.
Remove exhausted batteries and dispose of them properly.
If this item will not be used for an extended term please remove the batteries.
Do not try to recharge a non-rechargeable battery.
Do not take a battery apart. Do not short-circuit the terminals.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire they may explode.
Controller:
1. Attatch the Contoller’s antenna and fully extend.
2. The power ON/OFF switch is the sliding switch
located above the trim control. Leave it in the OFF
position (set to the left). DO NOT SET THIS SWITCH
TO THE ON POSITION YET!
3. The large control number on the left is the throttle
control. Moving the knob forward increases motor
power enabling the helicopter to take off. Moving the
knob back reduces motor power to make the helicop-
ter come down.
4. The large knob on the right is used to change the helicopter’s direction of flight by
changing the angle of the blades. Forward motion will tilt the blades so that the helicopter
will move forward. Pushing the knob back will reverse the direction of the helicopter.
Pushing to the right or left will cause the helicopter to move right or left.
5. The trim control is the small knob located in the center, near the bottom of the front of the
controller. Set it about midway between its full left and full-right positions.
Your first flight should be in an open area, free of obstructions. Observers should be a
minimum of 15 feet (4.6 metres) from the helicopter. Do not try to operate your helicopter in
breezy conditions. WARNING! Your helicopter has rapidly rotating blades that can cause
injury!
Ensure that the power switch on the Controller is turned OFF.
The helicopter should not be attached to the charger. Connect the two red connectors under
the helicopter together. Slide the helicopter’s power switch to the ON position.
Position yourself at a safe distance from the helicopter.
Slide the power switch on the controller to the ON position. The red LED on the controller
will begin to flash. Instructions for the use of the viewer, are on page 5.
NOTE: Do not let your helicopter fly too high or too far away. A good guide is to not let your
helicopter fly more than about 100 feet (30 metres) away from you. If your helicopter flies
out of range, the blades will stop and it will drop to the ground possibly causing it to be
damaged.
The duration of your flight will depend upon the condition and charge level of your battery
and the speed maintained during flight.
Read these instructions carefully before actually starting your helicopter for the first time.
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE EAGLE SPY IS RESTING FLAT ON ITS LANDING SKIDS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FLY. FAILIURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
ROTOR BLADES AND MAY CAUSE INJURY.
NEVER ATTEMT TO FLY THE EAGLE SPY WITH DAMAGED ROTOR BLADES.
Flying a helicopter requires practice. It is advised to master basic control
before attempting to use the Viewer cam.
- If Helicopter spirals Right... or turns Right...
- Turn the "Trim Button"counter clockwise until
the helicopter flies straight...
- If Helicopter spirals Left... or turns Left...
- Turn the "Trim Button" clockwise until the
helicopter flies straight...

Viewer:
The viewer’s built-in Lithium Polymer rechargeable 800mAh, 3.7 V,
non-removable battery requires charging before its first use. The
small plug on the included USB cord must be carefully inserted into
the jack on the right-side of the viewer. The larger plug is inserted
into an open USB port, found on most desktop, laptop, and
notebook computers.
Leave the USB cord attached for three hours. After three hours,
disconnect the USB cord. The circular opening next to the USB
connection jack is a 1/8” mini-jack.
