1 INTRODUCTION
2 SAFETY NOTES
Thank you for buying HUBSAN products. The helicopter is designed as an easy to
use, full featured RC helicopter model capable of all forms of rotary flight. Please read
the manual carefully before assembling the model, and follow all precautions and
recommendations within the manual. Be sure to retain the manual for future
reference, routine maintenance, and tuning.
1.1 IMPORTANT NOTES
This RC helicopter is not a toy, it utilizes various high-tech products and technologies
to provide superior performance.
Please read this manual carefully before operating this product. Improper use of this
product can result in serious injury. Be aware of your personal safety, safety of others
and your surrounding environment.
We recommend that you obtain the assistance of an experienced pilot before
attempting to fly our product for the first time.
2.1 CAUTION
R/C helicopters have parts that move at high speed, thus posing a certain degree of
danger. Pilots are responsible for any actions resulting in damage or injury from the
improper operation of their R/C aircraft models.
Choose a wide open space without obstacles. Do not operate R/C aircraft near
buildings, crowds of people, high voltage cables, or trees to ensure the safety of
yourself, others and your model.
Operate this unit within your ability. Do not fly whilst tired, improper operation may
cause in danger.
2.2 LiPo Battery Recharging
Your helicopter is powered by a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery.
Never recharge your battery whilst it is inserted in your model. It can catch fire leading
to the total destruction of the item.

6.7 Flying Outdoors
These inputs will result in your model adopting a nose-down right-roll attitude. Note that the top
rotor remains almost horizontal (as a result of the gyroscopic stabilizer arm), while the servos
have pushed the swash plate to tilt the lower rotor right-and-forwards in the intended direction
of travel.
Tip- if you become confused, releasing your helicopter’s controls will bring it to a stop. It will not
lose height, as the Throttle is on a ratchet.
The effect of simultaneous control inputs will, with practice, result in elegant slip-free turns
which demonstrate the sophisticated controls of your 4 channel RC helicopter.
The final challenge is to fly your helicopter outdoors under open skies!
Remember, your helicopter is designed for indoor operation, where low-speed
precision-control is paramount. When flying in the great outdoors - even though you may think
it’s absolute flat calm - you will notice that your helicopter is susceptible to almost
imperceptible air currents. This presents an interesting challenge for the experienced pilot, but
could spell disaster if attempted too soon. So, take your time and practice the Flying Lessons
described in this manual until you have acquired proficiency in the Advanced Maneuvers.
Make sure it really is a flat calm day outside. And remember that outdoor flight is a whole new
learning experience.
Flying your radio-controlled helicopter outdoors really is great fun. Just remember its design
limitations and be prepared to make the professional pilot’s decision to cancel your plans and
you helicopter will live to fly another day.
There are Old pilots, and there are Bold pilots……
But, there are no Old Bold pilots!
