4 ChargINg The helICOPTer
Attention: The battery must cool down for 10 to 15 minutes before charging and
after every flight. Failure to do so may result in the battery becoming damaged. The
charging process is electronically monitored, but do not leave it unsupervised .
• Switch off the helicopter and the remote control (4A).
• Carefully insert the plug of the charger in an outlet. Now connect the plug of the
charger to the helicopter (4B). The plug must be gently inserted – DO NOT USE FORCE.
If the plug is not correctly inserted into the charging socket, the helicopter may
become damaged and, under certain circumstances, become an injury risk.
• The charging process lasts approx. 90 minutes and must be continuously monitored.
• If the battery is fully charged, the LED of the charger illuminates red.
• Now disconnect the helicopter from the charger and the charger from the outlet.
A charge time of approx. 90 minutes using the accompanying charger cable
will allow the helicopter to fly for approx. 5-7 minutes.
5 STarT PreParaTION
The thrust controller (the left controller on the remote control) must point down before
being switched on (5A). Then set the ON/OFF switch of the remote control to the "ON"
position; the Power LED will flash red (5B). Now set the ON/OFF switch on the right
side of the helicopter to the "ON" position (5C). The LED on the bottom of the heli-
copter begins to blink rapidly. Place the helicopter on the ground so that its tail points
toward you (5D). Push the up/down thrust controller (2E) up and back down. Now the
power LED continuously illuminates red and a loud peep sounds; the model is ready for
flight.
6 TrIM aDJUSTMeNT OF The CONTrOl
The correct trimming is a basic requirement for achieving fault-free flying from the heli-
copter. Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please
observe the following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and
raise the helicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.
6A
if the helicopter automatically
rotates clockwise...
press the left/right trim adjustment to
the left until the helicopter no longer
rotates by itself.
14
6B
if the helicopter automatically
rotates anti-clockwise ...
press the left/right trim adjustment to
the right until the helicopter no longer
rotates by itself.
7 PIlOTage
7A In order to start or gain altitude,
carefully move the thrust control
forward.
7C Fly forward by moving the controller
for forward/backward flight and right/
left rotation carefully forward.
7E To fly along a left-handed curve,
carefully move the directional controller
to the left, as long as the helicopter
tail is facing toward the pilot.
8 ChaNgINg The rOTOr BlaDeS
If the rotor blades of the helicopter are damaged and you must replace them, proceed
as follows:
8A Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the rotor blades. The rotor
blades are marked with "C" and "D". Type "C" rotor blades are mounted on top and
Type "D" rotor blades are mounted on the bottom.
8B Use a Phillips screwdriver to carefully remove the screws on the rotor blade.
8C Now carefully remove the rotor blade from the mount.
8D Carefully fit the new rotor blade in the mount and tighten the screw.
Attention: Do not over-tighten the screw. The rotor blade must have a certain
amount of play.
INSTrUCTIONS FOr SaFe FlYINg
GENERAL FLyiNG TiPS:
• Always place the helicopter on a level
surface. An inclined surface can, under
certain circumstances, negatively effect
the helicopter during take-off.
• Always operate the controls slowly and
with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
helicopter and do not look at the remote
control!
• Move the thrust controller somewhat
down again once the helicopter has
lifted off from the ground. Maintain
flying altitude by adjusting the thrust
controller.
• If the helicopter descends, move the
thrust controller slightly upward again.
• If the helicopter climbs, move the thrust
controller down slightly.
7B Move the thrust control back for
landing or to fly lower. Only minimal
corrections to the controller are
necessary to ensure smoothing
flying of the helicopter!
7D Fly backward by carefully moving
the controller backward.
7F To fly to the right, carefully move
the directional control to the right,
as long as the helicopter tail is
facing toward the pilot.
• To fly along a curve, tapping the
directional controller very slightly in the
respective direction often suffices. There
is a general tendency during preliminary
attempts at flight to operate the
helicopter's controls too aggressively.
Always operate the controls slowly and
carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming
before attempting to master the thrust
controller. It is not necessary for the
helicopter to fly straight at first. It is far
more important to maintain a constant
height of approximately one metre
above the ground by repeatedly tapping
the thrust controller. Only then should
the pilot practise steering the helicopter
left and right.
