Outdoor Flying Tips:
• Choose a location that allows you to fly over grass or another soft surface.
• Do not fly near power lines, trees, rooftops, or other obstacles. Do not retrieve the model
from any location higher than your reach.
• If the helicopter flies too far away from you and you can’t determine its orientation, move
the throttle stick to the full down position to immediately land the helicopter.
• If you encounter wind gusts that disrupt the model, fly into the direction of the wind to
maintain control.
• If a strong wind overpowers the model, land immediately to avoid loss of control.
Be prepared for altitude changes as you fly.
Forward/reverse and left/right
movements may increase or reduce lift, causing the helicopter to gain or lose altitude.
Be prepared to react to altitude changes by adjusting the throttle as you fly the model.
ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS FOR STABLE FLIGHT
If your helicopter pulls or drifts in any
direction (unrelated to air currents) when
the sticks are at neutral, you can use the
trim controls to tune out any unwanted
flight motions.
• The trim buttons will adjust each control
in a small increment with each
‘click’.
Press the trim button as many times as
is required until the model holds a steady
hover with little or no correction required.
Rudder Trim
Aileron Trim
• As you adjust each trim, the transmitter LCD will show you the trim position as a numeric
value. There are 25 trim steps in each direction for Rudder, Elevator, and Aileron. Tones
indicate the center and end points. When your model is trimmed for stable flight, the trim
display may not indicate that the neutral setting is zero. This is normal.
Note:
If your helicopter still doesn
’t perform correctly, visit

FLIGHT MODES
Normal, Expert 1, Expert 2
• The transmitter is set to
Normal Mode
by default (the easiest flight mode), and it will
always power up in Normal Mode. Normal mode limits control input (low rate) and uses
the full capability of the flight control system (auto leveling).
• Activate one of the Expert Modes (EXP1 or
EXP2) for even greater performance capability
and access to tricks (the model and transmitter
must both be on). Modes are toggled by clicking
the flight stick. From Normal Mode, click the
flight stick for Expert Mode selection.
•
Expert 1 (EXP1)
: From Normal Mode, click
the flight stick once. The transmitter will beep
2 times, the green LED will begin flashing,
and the LCD will display EXP1. EXP1 uses the
full capability of the flight control system (auto
leveling), but allows greater control input (high
