To avoid the main blades from fold together when starting or landing, the main blade screws must be tighten 
very hard, so that the blades can only be moved with a lot of force. If the main blades fold together, they start an 
extreme vibration which can destroy the helicopter! If this happens, due to less tightened main blade screws, it 
can be stopped by pushing the pitch stick hard and fast to positive pitch (Motor must be cut off!). If you do this, 
you can avoid the helicopter from destroying itself. 

·

 

Always switch on the transmitter first! Throttle/pitch stick and other switches must be set on their zero position 
beforehand! 

·

 

Wait until the ESC and the FBL-3X system have initialized. The FBL-3X system has initialized when the swash plate 
has rotated once. The helicopter must stand absolutely still and leveled during this procedure. 

·

 

Check the function of all servos (direction of movement, etc.). 

Therefore, put the autorotation switch in the po-

sition “

lock

”. This pr

events the motor from running unintendedly.

 

·

 

Fly with your model. 

·

 

Start the landing procedure before the battery is low. 

·

 

Disconnect the ESC from the battery and switch off the transmitter finally. 

 
 
 

Charging the Flight Battery 

 

Charge  the

  4S  4250mAh  lithium  polymer  battery  only  with  the  included  charger,  which  is  optimally 

adjusted to charge and balance the battery. Disregarding this procedure may cause damage to the bat-
tery, the charger and the immediate environment (danger of fire). Never charge the battery unattended! 

We recommend to charge and store the battery in a non-flammable environment (e.g. LiPo-bag). Pay attention to 
the correct polarity when connecting the charger and the balancers with the battery. 
 

Power supply: 

·

 

12V car battery: Use a 12V lead gel battery to connect directly to the charger (no power adaptor necessary).  

·

 

230V  power  supply:  Use  the  charger  only  with  an  appropriate  power  adaptor  (Not  included.  Ord.  no.  01.1378 
and 01.1376).  

 
Charging the battery: 

1.

 

Disconnect the battery from the ESC and remove the battery with the battery plate from the model. 

2.

 

Connect the charger first with the 12V power supply. All LEDs must 

blink

 red and green.  

3.

 

Now connect the battery with the charger and the balancer plug of the battery with the balancer socket of the 
charger according to the picture. The LEDs are blinking red. 

4.

 

Choose the charging current with the knob (recommendation: 4.5A). 

5.

 

Press the start button. All LEDs must 

glow

 red. 

6.

 

When the charging is finished, you will hear a whistling sound and all LEDs must 

glow

 green. 

7.

 

Disconnect the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the power supply.
