Battery Installation – Transmitter (Fig. 4)
1. Unscrew the battery door with a Phillips head screwdriver
2. Insert 6 x AA alkaline batteries in the battery compartment
following the polarity indication
3. Replace the battery door
Battery Charging:
Your Pterodactyl should always be "Power-Off" when it is not in use.
Detach the connecting wire from the controller unit and plug into the
socket on Pterodactyl. The green LED will light up and turn off when
the built-in battery is fully charged in around 30 minutes. A fully
charged battery can serve up to 10 minutes flight time.*
Playground and Weather Selection:
Indoor: Playing in a hall is recommended, keeping away from electric fans and air conditioners.
Outdoor: Pterodactyl will fly better on a sunny day with calm wind or slight breeze. We suggest playing on grass to protect your Pterodactyl
from crashing on hard rock or ground.
Cautions:
Your Pterodactyl will be blown way under strong wind because of its light weight.
Do not launch your Pterodactyl when it is raining, snowing, or near high power cables.
There’s something in the sky and it’s not a bird or a plane – in fact, it’s not from our world at all – it’s a Pterodactyl!
The radio-controlled replica of this graceful pre-historic reptile takes flight with kids controlling the action, using
the fully-directional hand-held device. The controller choreographs the Pterodactyl's swooping dives and tight
turns. With a little practice, kids can catch the wind currents and the RC Pterodactyl will fly for up to 30 minutes.
About Pterosaurs
The Pterodactyl, also referred to as Pterosaur meaning “winged lizard,” was the first vertebrate to evolve into flight. These small flying
reptiles lived during the Mesozoic period 250 million years ago and ranged from the size of small birds to have sweeping wing spans of up to
60 feet. Their skeletons were made of hollow bones covered with leathery membranes stretching from the chest out to what is imagined to
have been an extremely lengthened fourth finger. Pterodactyls had sizable brains and used their intelligence and sharp eyesight to hunt
prey while in flight, mostly fish and other sea creatures.

Flying Your Pterodactyl:
1. Set the ON/OFF switch on your Pterodactyl to ON. MAKE SURE THE TRANSMITTER
IS “OFF” when turning on the Pterodactyl.
2. Screw in and extend the telescopic antenna on transmitter.
3. Set the left lever on transmitter to MINIMUM throttle, then set it to ON.
4. Make sure the Pterodactyl can go nearly straight:
- Set the right lever on transmitter to neutral position, then push the throttle in
the middle to drive the Pterodactyl and hand throw the Pterodactyl out to
observe its flying trend.
- Tune the steering trimmer to left when Pterodactyl has the trend to fly right
or tune the trimmer to right when it goes left.
- Maneuver the left lever to MINIMUM (downward) to stop the Pterodactyl.
(Fig. 4)
5. Make sure to let the Pterodactyl face to the wind when you throw it. It is
important that you maneuver throwing it horizontally. (Fig. 5)
6. Set the right lever in its neutral position, then push the throttle to MAXIMUM
(upward) to drive the Pterodactyl and hand throw it out for flight. (Fig.6)
7. When your Pterodactyl can fly steadily, you can maneuver the right lever control
to turn left or right.
8. You can make a safe landing by turning your Pterodactyl to face the wind, then
throttle the left lever downward.
Maintenance
If your Pterodactyl encounters minor damage, you can fix it with pressure
sensitive tape.
If your Pterodactyl encounters a broken or spoiled propeller, it can be replaced
with the spare propellers provided. (Fig.7 & 8)
