Control Tests

Ensure the throttle hold is ON when doing the direction 
control tests. 

Test the controls prior to the fi rst fl ight to 

ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly. 

If the controls do not react as shown in the illustrations 
below, confi rm the transmitter is programmed correctly 
before continuing on to the Motor test.

Throttle Hold

Throttle hold is used to prevent the motor from powering 
on inadvertently. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time 
you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction 
controls.

Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor quickly if the 
helicopter is out of control, in danger of crashing, or both. 
The blades will continue to spin briefl y when throttle hold is 
activated. Pitch and direction control is still maintained.

Motor

Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, fl at and level 
surface (concrete or asphalt) free of obstructions. Always 
stay clear of moving rotor blades.

CAUTION:

 Keep pets and other animals away

from the helicopter. Animals may injure themselves 

if they attack or run toward the helicopter.

1. Both motors beep 3 times when the helicopter’s ESC 

arms properly. Before you continue, confi rm that 
throttle is at full low position.

2. Turn Throttle Hold OFF.

WARNING:

 Stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away 

from the helicopter when the motor is running. Do 

not attempt to fl y the helicopter at this time.

3. Slowly increase the throttle until the blades begin to 

spin. The main blades should spin clockwise when 
viewing the helicopter from the top. The tail rotor 
blades should spin counterclockwise when viewing the 
helicopter from the right side.

NOTICE:

 If the main rotor blades are spinning

counterclockwise, reduce the throttle to low immediately. 
Disconnect the battery from the helicopter and reverse 
any two motor wire connections to the ESC and repeat
the motor control test.
