Safety Tips
4. GENERAL FLYING TIPS:
5. SUITABLE FLIGHT LOCATIONS:
• Always place the helicopter on a fl at surface. An uneven surface may affect the helicopter’s take-off.
• Always move the controls slowly and gently.
• Always look at the helicopter and not at the controller!
• As soon as the helicopter leaves the ground, lower the throttle stick slightly. Adjust the throttle as
necessary to maintain altitude.
• Gently push the throttle stick up if the helicopter loses height.
• Gently push the throttle stick down if the helicopter gains height.
• To turn the helicopter, the direction stick usually only needs to be moved very slightly in the
corresponding direction. Most fi rst-time users initially tend to over-steer. Always handle the direction
stick slowly and gently, and avoid fast and jerky movements.
• After adjusting the trimming setting, beginners should practise using the throttle stick correctly.
There is no need to keep the helicopter fl ying straight at the start – it is more important that you learn
how to maintain a constant altitude of about 1 metre above the ground by slightly moving the throttle
stick. Once you are able to do this, move on to practising left and right turns.
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
1.
The helicopter can be fl own outdoors, but only in perfectly calm conditions. When fl ying in
enclosed areas, make sure that there is no air movement. Where possible, avoid circulating
air from heating, air conditioning, etc.
2.
The room should be at least 6 metres long, 6 metres wide and 3 metres high.
3.
Never fl y the helicopter in a room containing obstacles.
4.
Before take-off, ensure that all animals and people, including the pilot, are at least 1-2 metres
away from the helicopter.
5.
Always watch the helicopter to prevent it from fl ying into and injuring the pilot, other people
or animals.
IMPORTANT!
Since 2005, model airplanes and helicopters that can fl y higher than 30 metres must be insured.
Contact your private liability insurer to fi nd out if your new and old models are covered. Ask your
insurer for written confi rmation and keep this in a safe place.
To make left turns, carefully push the direction stick to the left, provided that the tail
of the helicopter is pointing towards the pilot.
To make right turns, slowly push the direction stick to the right, provided that the tail
of the helicopter is pointing towards the pilot.
3. FLIGHT CONTROL:
ns, carefully push the direction stick
To move forward, carefully push the direction stick forward.
To move backwards, carefully pull the direction stick back.
To land or to make the helicopter fl y lower, simply lower the throttle stick.
The throttle stick only needs to be moved very slightly to ensure smooth fl ying.
To take off or to make the helicopter fl y higher, carefully push the throttle stick upward.

If the switch is set to Quick, the helicopter fl ies forwards and backwards at a faster speed. If the switch is set to Slow,
the helicopter fl ies forwards and backwards at a slower speed.
