When the product is fully charged, the

FLYING YOUR HELICOPTER

GETTING STARTED

• 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.

OPERATING YOUR HELICOPTER

LEFT joystick - Slowly press UP on the Left joystick to increase the speed of

the rotor blades to cause the helicopter to ascend into the air. Slowly release

the Left joystick to cause the helicopter to descend.

RIGHT joystick - Move the Right joystick to the left or right to turn the

helicopter left or right.

Requires approximately 120 minutes

charge for a full 8 minute  ight.

DO NOT OVERCHARGE

XC9970IS01EXCRA.indd 4XC9970IS01EXCRA.indd 4 7/28/11 2:35 PM7/28/11 2:35 PM

Move the Right joystick up or down to move the helicopter forward or

backward.

DIRECTION CONTROL - TRIM KNOB

Located on the top of the Controller is the Trim Control Switch. When the

helicopter does not  y straight, use the Trim Control to adjust the alignment.

1. Clockwise Rotation - when the helicopter is spinning counterclockwise,

press the trim button on the right side.

2. Counterclockwise Rotation - when the helicopter is spinning clockwise,

press the trim button on the left side.

FLIGHT CONDITIONS

Please ensure the following conditions for your  ight location:

• Indoor environment with little air conditioning. Heavy air-conditioning

can be too strong for heli  ight. It is highly recommended to turn o all

fans, air conditioning units, or reading lamps that could impair  ying.

• We recommend that the area/space for  ight be at least 10 x 15 x 10 feet.

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. Start by gently

easing the joystick into the position of the direction you would like to go.

• EXRCTM 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 the entire 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.
