INTRODUCTION 

Congratulation and thank you for the purchase of great product! It is our sole desire for 
you to enjoy the quality workmanship and performance of any of our electric Li-Po 
powered helicopters. We believe we have the latest designs and technology 
incorporated into our model helicopters. Our CNC parts are produced using the best 
high density materials & anodized using material hardening finishes with the tightest of 
tolerances. Our new helicopters feature the latest advances in R/C helicopter 
design.  The simple and mechanically superior EMS design (also known as CCPM) 
ensures a helicopter that will be more responsive and more stable than any other R/C 
helicopter you have ever flown.  Three servos are attached directly to the Swashplate to 
ensure precise control. This kit features all metal construction, and a carbon or 
composite frames are standard. Along with great products, our staffs are RC guys that 
fly and have hands on experience with total manufacturing & testing of our helicopters. 
In addition, we stand behind all our products 100% with satisfaction guaranteed. 
 
In the past several years, we have been devoting ourselves to developing electric 
powered helicopters. We feel that our electrics now are more powerful, smoother, and 
more responsive than most of the nitro machines in the market. In addition, there is less 
time for maintenance and no more getting dirty of oil and gas. With new technology of 
batteries and electric motors, the flying time and the efficiency increase significantly day 
by day. We believe so much in our electric helicopters that we have given out for reviews 
to our fellow hobbyists EP kits of four different motors and Li-Po battery classes. Electric 
powered helicopters are here now to stay and will in time be bigger than the current nitro 
market. The market has some very mixed ideas about electric and their safety. Our staff 
is here to answer all of your technical questions. Our kits will be shipped 100% complete 
and we can assure you that once you fly your EP helicopter you will love it.
