2.3 PREVENT MOISTURE
R/C models are composed of many precision electrical components.
It is critical to keep the model and associated equipment away from condensation and
other contaminants. Exposure to water or moisture may cause the model to
malfunction resulting in loss of responsiveness, or a crash.
2.4 PROPER OPERATION
For the safety purpose, please only use hubsan’s spare parts for replacement.
2.5 ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE ROTATING BLADES
When in operation, the main and tail rotor blades will be spinning at high speed. The
blades are capable of inflicting serious body injury and damage to the environment.
Be cautious of your actions and careful to keep your body and loose clothing away
from the blades. Never take your eyes off the model or leave it unattended while it is
turned on. Once landed, immediately turn off the model and transmitter.
2.6 AVOID FLYING ALONE
Beginners should avoid flying alone whilst learning flight skills. It is advised that an
experienced pilot be on hand for guidance.
It is recommended to practice with a computer-based flight simulator.
CAREFULLY INSPECT BEFORE REAL FLIGHT
• Before operation, please check the batteries of the transmitter and receiver are
charged enough for the flight.
• Before turning on the transmitter, please check that the throttle stick is in the
minimum position.
• Check for any missing or loose screws and nuts. Carefully check main rotor blades
and rotor holders. Broken or premature failure of parts will result in a dangerous
situation.
• Check all the ball links to avoid excess play and replace as needed. Failure to do so
will result in poor flight stability.
• Check the battery and power plug are securely fastened. Vibration and violent flight
may cause the plug to loosen resulting in loss of control.
• When turning on the unit, please follow the power on/off procedure: for Power ON-
please turn on the transmitter first, and then turn on the receiver. For Power OFF-
please turn off the receiver first and then turn off the transmitter. Improper procedure
may cause loss of control of the helicopter.

6.4 Basic Maneuvering
In this Flying Lesson you will use the cyclic joystick and the Rudder to maneuver
your helicopter.
1.Keeping a safe 1 to 2 meters from your model, S-M-O-O-T-H-L-Y advance the
collective Throttle joystick until your helicopter reaches approximately shoulder
height.
2.S-L-O-W-L-Y apply collective Rudder control to point the nose of your helicopter in
the direction you wish to fly.
3.Once you have turned your helicopter, place your right thumb over the tip of the
cyclic joystick and S-L-O-W-L-Y press forwards.
The lower rotor will tilt forward. The helicopter’s nose will pitch down. Your helicopter
will begin to move forward.
Tip- Be ready to slightly increase your Throttle power, as the helicopter is likely to
lose a little height during maneuvering. Also remember that the swash plate on the
helicopter links all of your cyclic controls; so don't be surprised if your helicopter
moves slightly to the left/right as well as forwards. As you gain experience, you will
stop thinking in terms of Left/Right or Forwards/Backwards and start to automatically
synchronize cyclic joystick corrections, just like flying a full size helicopter.
