FLYING YOUR HELICOPTER
GETTING STARTED
• Select the frequency band on the controller. The frequency on the
helicopter will automatically sync.
• Switch the helicopter’s ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The power
light will turn on.
• Place the helicopter on the ground with the tail pointed toward you and
the nose facing away from you.
• Make sure your surroundings are clear of obstacles before ying.
• Do not y if the helicopter has become damaged in any way.
• NEVER y the helicopter around another person or animal.
HOVER UP AND DOWN
When the helicopter is ying steadily,
you can slowly press the throttle stick
up to make the helicopter y higher,
or release the stick to make the
helicopter y lower. For smooth ying,
only make small movements.
TURNING CLOCKWISE
AND COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Keep the helicopter at a steady height.
Push the rudder stick on the right side
to the left to turn the helicopter
counterclockwise. Push the rudder stick
right to turn the helicopter clockwise.
FORWARD AND REVERSE
Push the right rudder stick up to make
the helicopter move forward. Push the
right rudder stick down to make the
helicopter move in reverse.
INTERFERENCE
Some radio frequencies or other R/C units nearby can cause interference and
poor performance. Try to move away from the source of the interference.

Flight Conditions:
Please ensure the following conditions for your ight location:
• Indoor Environment with little air conditions. Heavy air-conditioning can be
too strong of conditions for heli ight. It is also highly recommended to turn
o all electric fans, air conditioning units, or reading lamps that could impair
ying.
• We recommend that the area/space for ight be at least 10 ft. x 15 ft. x 10 ft.
Control Tips:
• It is best to start with both joysticks on the remote control in the middle
position. Do not immediately push into extreme positions. Instead start by
gently easing the joystick into the position of which direction you would like
to go.
• EXRC recommends for initial piloting of the helicopter, focus on learning to
control the throttle joystick rst. During your rst ight we recommend you
work at learning to keep the helicopter at a constant 3 foot altitude before
attempting to learn directional control of the helicopter. After the pilot has
mastered the throttle joystick, then start learning to turn with the direction
joystick.
Safety Tips:
• Read through the entire instruction manual, before attempting to pilot your
helicopter.
• This product is intended for indoor use, and works best indoors. We do not
recommend using the product outdoors.
• Never attempt to y your helicopter in a cluttered space. This helicopter was
intended for obstacle free wide area spaces.
• Make sure all people and animals are 3-5 feet from the helicopter before you
start ying it.
• Always keep focus on your helicopter, and do not attempt to y/land/or
crash anywhere on or near any other people or animals.
• The rotating parts on the helicopter could lead to injury. Never put any body
part including the hands and face, close to the rotating parts. Only
operate this product standing, as it allows for quick movement away from
the helicopter if necessary.
• Never operate the helicopter using parts that are altered in shape or
damaged in any form.
