FLYING YOUR HELICOPTER

GETTING STARTED

• Set the frequency band on the controller to match the frequency on the

helicopter.

• 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

Push the rudder stick on the right side

to the left to turn the helicopter

counterclockwise. Push the rudder stick

DIRECTION CONTROL - TRIM KNOB

If the helicopter rotates during  ight,

use the Rudder Trim Knob to adjust.

1. Clockwise Rotation - when the

helicopter is spinning counter-

clockwise, turn the Rudder Trim

Knob clockwise to adjust.

2. Counterclockwise Rotation - when

the helicopter is spinning

clockwise, turn the Rudder Trim

Knob counterclockwise to adjust.

FLIGHT CONDITIONS

Please ensure the following conditions for your  ight location:

• Indoor Environment with little air conditions. 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.

• 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 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

US5918IS01EXC.indd 4US5918IS01EXC.indd 4 7/8/11 4:35 PM7/8/11 4:35 PM

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.
