● The spinning blades of a model helicopter can cause serious injury. When choosing a flying site for your 1SQ Quadcopter, stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines. AVOID flying in or near crowded areas. DO NOT fly close to people, children or pets. ● Maintain a safe pilot-to-helicopter distance while flying. ● Your 1SQ Quadcopter should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size helicopter.
READ THROUGH THIS MANUAL BEFORE STARTING CONSTRUCTION. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS CONCERNING THE ASSEMBLY AND USE OF THIS MODEL. ® ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED ❏ For Tx-R: Tactic AnyLink and your helicopter transmitter ® KIT INSPECTION Before starting assembly, take an inventory of the 1SQ Quadcopter kit. If any parts are missing, damaged, or defective, contact Product Support.
® Your new 1SQ Quadcopter uses SLT protocol. This means that with the simple addition of the Tactic Anylink™, you can enjoy your new machine with nearly “any” helicopter radio. AnyLink Heli Tx Compatibility Chart Futaba® Hitec® JR® Spektrum® Graupner® Required Cable 6EXH or EXP, 6J, 7C, 8FG, 8J, 9C, 10C, 12FG 6H, 8U, 9Z 12Z, 14MZ, 18MZ Eclipse 7 (72MHz) Aurora 9 Eclipse 7 (2.4GHz) All heli transmitters with trainer jack DX6, DX6i DX7s, DX8, DX10t, DX18 MX-16 *Includes a rechargeable 6.6V LiFe battery.
® LINKING Connecting the AnyLink™ module or an SLT™ compatible transmitter to your heli. 1. Turn on the transmitter. Make sure the throttle is at zero. 2. Place the transmitter close to the model. 3. Remove the canopy and locate the small black link button on the PC board. 4. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds. 5. Release and wait 3~5 more seconds. Your system is now ready! ® BATTERY PRECAUTIONS This 1SQ Quadcopter uses a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery.
® CHARGING THE FLIGHT BATTERY WARNING!! The charger supplied with the Heli-Max 1SQ Quadcopter contains protective circuitry. If you experience any difficulties while charging the battery, please disconnect the battery from the charger and unplug the charger from the power source. Allow the battery and charger to rest for two hours as this will allow the charge protection circuit to reset. If this issue re-occurs during normal use, please contact technical support for further assistance.
® INSTALL THE TRANSMITTER BATTERIES ❏ Carefully remove the battery door and install four AA batteries. Double check the polarity of each battery. Slide the battery cover back into place. ® TRANSMITTER CONTROLS All controls are described with the tail pointing directly toward you. This is the best way to fly in the beginning since it keeps the control inputs oriented the same direction. Once you start getting comfortable you can work on side hovering and nose-in.
The TX410 has two flight modes that control how aggressive the Quad feels during flight. The expert mode is good for outdoors and beginner mode is good for indoors or smooth precise flying. Adjust the mode rates by pushing and holding the right stick, then moving the throttle to read between 30 and 40, then let go of the right stick. Note: the low rate will always be approximately 75% of the high and is not adjustable independently.
Moving the left stick up or down will cause the quad to climb or descend. Climbs or Descends Moving the left stick left or right will cause the quad to rotate in that direction. Rotates Left or Right ® Heli-Max TX410 SERVO REVERSING This transmitter features SLT protocol. Therefore, it will bind with other SLT receivers. In those applications, it may be necessary to reverse the servo travel direction as follows: ❏ 1.
❏ 2. Let go of the trim buttons and you will see 1-1 or 1-0 displayed. The first digit is the channel number. To change the channel you want to reverse, push the right stick. ❏ 3. To reverse the travel direction, push the elevator trim button up or down so the second number changes. ❏ 4. To confirm the change and exit to normal operation, push the left stick. ® TURNING THE MODEL ON ❏ Move the left stick to the lowest position and then turn the transmitter on.
Electric motors are very dangerous. Do not work on the model while the flight battery is plugged in as interference may cause the main rotor blades to spin, possibly causing injury to yourself. ❏ Slide the flight battery into the battery compartment and plug in the battery. NOTE: The quad will be “ON” at this point. Place the quad on a flat surface for 2 seconds to calibrate the TAGS.
currents have a big effect on the stability of the quadcopter. Be patient and try to anticipate where the quadcopter will move. Remember: Small corrections! Landing From a steady hover, slowly decrease power until the quad settles onto the ground. Basic Maneuvers Pirouettes – Add a small amount of left stick (left or right) to rotate the quad. Rotating the quad 360° is called a pirouette. Forward Flight – From a hover, point the nose away from you and push the right stick forward.
