REPLACING DAMAGED ROTOR BLADES -Continued:
Main Rotor Blades:
1. Locate the broken Rotor Blade and use a fine Philips screw-driver (not included) to unscrew the tiny screw that
holds the Rotor Blade in place on the Hub Mount. Be careful not to lose the screw as it is tiny.
2. Pull the damaged Rotor Blade horizontally out and away from its location on the Hub Mount.
3. Install a new Rotor Blade in the same location on the Hub Mount by sliding it in horizontally. The holes for the
screw have to align. It is very important that the correct Rotor Blade is installed as the Upper and Lower Main
Rotor Blades may appear to be similar but are in fact very different. The Storm-Wolf Helicopter will not be able to
fly if the incorrect Rotor Blades are installed.
4. Fasten the new Rotor Blade to its Hub Mount with the same tiny screw that was pulled out earlier. Do not over
tighten the screw as the Rotor Blade needs to be able to spin freely inside its Hub Mount. Your Storm-Wolf
Helicopter is ready to fly again!
Tail Rotor:
1. Locate the broken Tail Rotor on the end of the Storm-Wolf Helicopter’s boom.
2. Remove the broken Tail Rotor by gently pulling it upwards off of the Tail Motor’s Axle Shaft.
3. Install the replacement Tail Rotor (Included with the Storm-Wolf) by sliding it onto the Tail Motor’s Axle Shaft in
the reverse process as outlined in step 2.
4. Gently press down on the replacement Tail Rotor until it is firmly in place.
REPLACING THE BALANCE-BAR-TO-UPPER-ROTOR CONNECTOR:
There is a small Connector which connects the Upper Rotor to the Balance Bar. In the event that this Connector
becomes disconnected, broken, or lost, it will need to be reconnected or replaced. A replacement Balance-Bar-
To-Upper-Rotor Connector is not included with the Storm-Wolf Helicopter. A replacement connector can be
purchased separately as part of the Storm-Wolf Replacement Parts Kit. Replacement is easy with the following
steps.
1. The Connector is attached by 2 simple ball joints. Remove the broken Connector by disconnecting it from the
Upper Rotor Hub Mount and the Balance Bar and pull it away. Once removed, the ball joints will be exposed. A
ball joint will be visible on both sides of the Upper Rotor Hub Mount, and a ball joint will be visible on both sides of
the Balance Bar. There will be a total of 4 ball joints visible!
2. Install the new connector following the reverse of step 1. The connector only needs to connect 2 of the 4 ball
joints. The Connector must connect a set of ball joints that are in vertical alignment only. Gently but firmly press
the Connector into position, connecting the Upper Rotor and the Balance Bar. The Connector will just snap into
the 2 ball joints as shown.
STORING THE STORM-WOLF HELICOPTER:
It is a good idea to store the Storm-Wolf Helicopter, IR Controller and this Instruction Manual together so no
components become misplaced or lost. Please respect the below points to extend the operational life of your
Storm-Wolf Helicopter during storage.
1. Product may be damaged or performance may be adversely affected if the Storm-Wolf Helicopter is not prop-
erly stored.
2. Never place any items on top of any components of the Storm-Wolf Helicopter.
3. Always keep your Storm-Wolf Helicopter in a cool dry place. Do not allow your Storm Wolf Helicopter to get
wet as it is not water resistant.
4. Keep the Storm-Wolf Helicopter away from pets and other household animals.
5. Do not rest your Storm-Wolf Helicopter on any potential heat source such as electronic equipment or a radiator.

forward fast enough.
1. The Storm-Wolf Helicopter is not
designed for fast flight as it is an
indoor toy.
1) If desired, add a small amount of weight to the
bottom front area of the body by taping a paper clip or
something similar in weight and size onto it. However,
note that this will reduce the ability of the Storm-Wolf
Helicopter to fly backwards.
Storm-Wolf Helicopter
doesn’t fly backwards
1. The Storm-Wolf Helicopter only
flies backwards briefly then spins to fly
forward.
1. Aerodynamics make flying backwards more difficult
than flying forwards and this flight pattern is normal.
Practice flying backward and control the left / right
turning motion of the Storm-Wolf Helicopter to keep the
tail pointed in the direction you desire.
Storm-Wolf Helicopter is
flying too low.
1. Needs more power (Throttle Input).
2. The battery in the Storm-Wolf
Helicopter is low.
1. Push the Left Stick (Throttle) gradually up.
2. Ensure the Storm-Wolf Helicopter is off and charge
the Internal Storm-Wolf Helicopter Battery.
Storm-Wolf Helicopter
doesn't move forward fast
enough.
1. The Internal Battery charge is
getting low.
2. The Tail Rotor is damaged.
3. The Storm-Wolf Helicopter center
of gravity is no longer correct.
1. Turn the Storm-Wolf Helicopter off and charge the
Internal Storm-Wolf Helicopter Battery.
2. Replace the Tail Rotor with a new one included with
your Storm-Wolf Helicopter, or from the Storm-Wolf
Replacement Part Kit (available in stores)
3. Use light adhesive tape to mount a clip on the front
bottom of the Storm-Wolf Helicopter to add weight and
adjust the center of gravity. See also “Storm-Wolf
Helicopter doesn’t hover” issue.
Storm-Wolf Helicopter
always turns.
1. Trim Control is not set correctly.
2. The Main Rotor Blades have
sustained damage / or wear from use.

ous to fly with damaged Rotor Blades! Replacement
Rotor Blades are not included, but can be purchased
separately as part of the Storm-Wolf Replacement Part
Kit.
The Main Rotor Blades
spin erratically causing
unpredictable flight
characteristics.
1. The Balance-Bar-to-Upper-Rotor
Connector is either broken or missing.
1. Install a new Connector using the instructions in the
“REPLACING THE BALANCE-BAR-TO-UPPER-
ROTOR CONNECTOR” section. Replacement Connec-
