WARNING!
READ BEFORE FLIGHT
I. INTRODUCTION
Venom Air Corps™ Night Ranger 3DXL™ is a high performance Ready-to-Fly Collective Pitch (CP)
Aerobatic Electric Helicopter for indoor flying and outdoors on calm days. At about 610 grams, the
VNR 3DXL™ will fly for 5-8 minutes on the 11.1v 10c 3s 1500mah LiPO battery, depending on the
type of flight. Although the VNR 3DXL™ is not difficult to operate, it does take more skill and practice
to master than a fixed pitch helicopter. We recommend that you read these instructions thoroughly and
carefully first. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our customer service department or
contact your local hobby shop or local flying club. All are excellent resources for information and
are more than willing to help new hobbyists.
