INTRODUCTION
Thank You
Warning!
Flight Checklist
General Guidelines
Pre-Assembly Information
Thank you for purchasing the all new NEO 940C/800C class of multi-rotor aircraft. By incorporating the latest designs and the possibilty
of running on blade sizes from 15” to 17” propellers, the lifting capabilities and stability of the NEO 940C / 800C are unmatched.
This R/C Multi Rotor is not a toy! It is a precision machine requiring proper assembly and setup to avoid accidents. It is the responsibil-
ity of the owner to operate this product in a safe manner as it can inflict serious injury otherwise. It is important for the user/pilot to be
responsible for the damage the model is capable of inflicting on one’s self and others around the model during its operation. Century
Helicopter Products, affiliated individuals, and shops/sellers hold no accountability for the operation or use of this model. It is recom-
mended that if you are in doubt of your abilities; seek assistance from experienced radio control modelers and associations. Although the
mult-rotor is considered small in size, you must be very cautious during the operation of the model as serious damage, injury, or death
can occur.
Apply thread lock to all metal to metal thread contact points. Do not apply CA (cyanoacrylate) glue or thread lock to ny-lock nuts (metal
nuts with plastic inserts). Diagrams indicated by bounding boxes for screws, bearings, etc. are illustrated at a 1-to-1 ratio. All other il-
lustrations are not drawn to scale. Throughout this manula, you will find building tips. Please follow the tips and use common sense when
building.
Upon opening the kit, all the major component parts are bagged for ease of assembly which correspond to the sections of the manual.
Various assemblies have been pre-assembled however, only as a reference assembly. Final assembly is up to the user. Installation onto
the particular parts, screws and nuts required for each step are packaged in the same bag as the parts. Be careful when opening each
bag as not to lose any hardware. Care has been taken in filling and packing of each bag however mistakes do happen. If there is a parts
shortage or missing hardware, please contact us directly or contact your place of purchase.

Radio Control (RC)
1. All pilots shall avoid flying directly over unprotected people, vessels, vehicles or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and
property of others.
2. A successful radio equipment ground-range check in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations will be completed before
the first flight of a new or repaired model aircraft.
3. At all flying sites a safety line(s) must be established in front of which all flying takes place (AMA Document #706-Recommended
Field Layout):
(a) Only personnel associated with flying the model aircraft are allowed at or in front of the safety line.
(b) At air shows or demonstrations, a straight safety line must be established.

Assemble the lower frame plate and alumi-
num threaded arm mounts. (Quadcopter NEO
shown as demo)
Install the distributing panel hex posts on the
UPPER frame plate. NOTE: lower frame plate
shown.
Select type of battery connector (not includ
-
ed) and solder all ESC and DJI BEC/PMU on
