Special notes
1.
If you find that the model’s nose constantly turns in one direction, turn the trim knob
in the opposite direction until the rotation ceases.
2.
When the transmitter cells are almost exhausted, the LED starts flashing. This is the
time to change the batteries.
3.
The helicopter can be operated on two different channels (A or B). Select the
channel, switch the transmitter on, then switch the helicopter on; if the LED on the
circuit board in the fuselage lights up, you can start flying.

Flying the model
1.
Set the channel select switch on the transmitter to channel A or B as required.
2.
Switch the transmitter on: the LED lights up green.
3.
Switch the helicopter on (ON): the LED on the circuit board (rear left of the fuselage)
flashes; when the LED glows constantly, the helicopter is ready to fly.
4.
Keep the blue dome of the transmitter pointing at the helicopter at all times.
5.
Place the model on a flat floor, and check once more that there are no people,
animals or other obstacles close by.
6.
Slowly move the throttle stick forward: the helicopter lifts off and climbs.
7.
If necessary, turn the trim knob to trim the helicopter, then use the sticks to control
the model.
Controlling climb, descent and hovering
The first step in getting maximum fun out of the NANO STAR 2 GYRO is to establish a
stable, smooth hover. After a little practice the multi-channel control system can be used to
fly the model in a similar manner to a “proper” model helicopter:
When the machine reaches the desired altitude, hold the left-hand stick (climb / descent) as
still as possible in the position where the helicopter neither climbs nor descends. If the
model starts turning in either direction, use the right-hand stick to counteract the
movement; in this way you will soon achieve a steady hover. Once you have learned the
skill of keeping the NANO STAR 2 GYRO hovering at a particular height, without rotating,
you can deliberately alter the orientation of the fuselage (and therefore the possible
direction of flight) using the direction control (right stick). The forward / back control (right
stick again) is used to accelerate or brake the model in this direction; the helicopter is even
capable of flying slowly backwards. By combining all the stick functions the model can be
controlled in a similar manner to a ‘real’ helicopter.
