- For controlling the sticks on transmitter, try not to push the sticks immediately any extreme
positions. It should be like steering a bicycle rather than pressing computer game sticks.
- For the novice pilot (after the trimming procedure is completed), it is highly recommended to
focus exclusively on learning to control the throttle stick first. If the helicopter turns around by
itself there is no need to keep it straight. For the first flight, it is important to learn to keep the
helicopter at a constant altitude of around 1 meter with very gentle inputs on the throttle stick.
Once the pilot masters this, he may start learning to take control with the direction stick.
Flying Your Helicopter
Tip! Piloting hints
2. Trimming the helicopter:
- Gently push the throttle up to raise your helicopter about 0.5 to 1 meter high.
- When the helicopter spirals (fig. 4)
or keeps turning anticlockwise (fig.
5), press the right side of the yaw
trim button ("R") repeatedly until the
helicopter flies straight (fig.6).
Spiral anticlockwise
Keep turning anticlockwise
Spiral clockwise
- When the helicopter spirals (fig. 1) or
keeps turning clockwise (fig. 2), press
the left side of the yaw trim button ("L")
repeatedly until the helicopter flies
straight (fig. 3).
Keep turning clockwise
3. Flight control:
- Put the helicopter on a smooth surface. Uneven floor surface will affect its lifting off.
- Slowly increase the throttle.
- Do not look at the transmitter but focus on the helicopter.
- As soon as the helicopter leaves ground, reduce the throttle slightly. (In the worst case, helicopter will go back to the floor but that is better than crashing against the ceiling.)
- Very gently add the throttle if the helicopter descends.
- Very gently reduce the throttle if the helicopter ascends.
- For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (Most beginners will easily overcontrol the helicopter.)

When the helicopter flies steadily, slowly push the throttle stick up to make helicopter
fly higher, or lower the stick a bit to make helicopter fly lower. Only small amounts of
stick position change are required for smooth flying.
Maintain the helicopter at a certain height. Push the direction stick toward left to turn
the helicopter anticlockwise, and push the direction stick toward right to turn it
clockwise.
Maintain the helicopter at a certain height. Push the direction stick upward to fly the helicopter
forward. Push it downward to fly the helicopter backward.
Forward and backward flight:
Hover up and down:
Turn left and right:
- If the helicopter is crashed, switched off the helicopter and the transmitter. Examine the helicopter and
ensure it has no damage before switching them on again.
- Don’t operate the helicopter under the direct bright light it will affect the control system of your
helicopter.
- Don’t cover the IR diodes of the transmitter as it will block the IR signal.
- Don’t stick any other label onto the helicopter as it will affect receiving of IR signal.

Procedure for PAIR / SYNC the Helicopter and Transmitting
2.4 GHz technology allows for many helicopters to run without signal interference. A connection, or pairing, must be made between the helicopter and the transmitter to function.
Sometimes, the pairing will happen automatically. If it does not, or if the connection is lost then follow these steps to sync the helicopter and the transmitter.
1. Place the helicopter on the ground with the tail point towards you and the nose pointing away.Make sure the throttle stick is at the minimum position.
2. Turn the Power Switch button to 'ON' position both on the Helicopter and Transmitter, Red LED will then flash.
3. The Synchronize/Pairing procedure is automatically COMPLETED when you can see the Red LED light up solid (not blinking) on both Helicopter and Transmitter.
Choose the place which meets the following condition:
1. Indoor environment with calm air. Beware of the air circulation from the air-conditioner.
2. Caution: There must not be any dangerous objects (electric fan, air-conditioner, reading lamp, etc) on the flight path.
