Dear Customer,

thank you for choosing the Revolution 500E RTF helicopter.

PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE THE INITIAL STARTUP.

The Revolution 500E Ready To Fly is a high performance model helicopter that was specifically designed for beginners
with  sufficient  experience  of  pitch-controlled  models.  The  helicopter  is  completely  assembled,  tested  and  ready  for
use. The model is equipped with high-quality RC components. Besides a 4S 4250mAh lithium polymer battery, digital
servos,  a  brushless  motor,  a  2.4  GHz  transmitter  with  receiver  and  the  Xelaris  Flybarless-3X  System  (FBL-3X)  are  in-
cluded.

Due to its various settings, the model is extremely versatile and offers setups for the individual needs of every pilot.
Since piloting a remote controlled model helicopter is very complex, we strongly recommend taking model helicopter
flight lessons or using a flight simulator when you are a beginner.

Although  the  Revolution  500E  is  a  Ready  To  Fly  model,  we  also  strongly  recommend  to  read  this  manual  carefully.
Please

don’t hesitate to

contact your local dealer if you have any questions.
