3. FLIGHT CONTROL (After Trimming)
Hover up and down:
When the helicopter flies steadily, you can slowly push the throttle stick up
to make the helicopter fly higher, or release the stick a bit to make the
helicopter fly lower. Only small amounts of stick position change are required
for smooth flying (pic.4 & pic.5).
Turn counterclockwise and clockwise:
Hold the helicopter at a height. Push the rudder stick toward the left to
turn counterclockwise (pic.6), and push the rudder stick toward the right
to turn clockwise (pic.7).
Accelerates & Decelerates:
If you turn the helicopter slowly counterclockwise, the helicopter will
decelerate. And when you turn it clockwise, it will accelerate.
Fly forward and stop:
The helicopter will slowly fly forward when a gentle clockwise turn is
made. To make it stop, it is sufficient to give a short counterclockwise
turn command. By alternating this flight technique, the helicopter can
be directed anywhere and come back to it’s starting position.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Main rotor won’t move.
Suddenly stops and drops while flying.
PROBLEM
ON/OFF switch is set to OFF.
Weak battery.
Weak power.
Helicopter may be out of range from controller.
CAUSE
Set switch to ON.
Re-charge the helicopter using the charging port OR
check batteries in the controller.
Re-charge helicopter or check battery power in controller.
Move closer to the helicopter with the controller.
SOLUTION
NOTE:
Hovering is half the
battle. If you can maintain your
helicopter in a stable position
in the air you are on your way
to becoming a PRO.
- Put the helicopter on a smooth surface. Uneven floor surface will affect its lifting off.
- Slowly increase the throttle.
NOTE:
Once the helicopter leaves the ground it automatically flies forward slowly.
- DO NOT look at the controller/charger but focus on the helicopter.
- As soon as the helicopter leaves the ground, reduce throttle slightly. (in the worst case, the helicopter will
drop back to the floor, but that is better than crashing against the ceiling)
- VERY gently add throttle if the helicopter goes down.
- VERY gently reduce throttle if helicopter goes up.
- For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (Most beginners will easily over control the helicopter)

HOW TO FLY YOUR SHARPSHOOTER™
1. TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER:
2. FLYING INDOORS
Gently push the throttle up to raise your helicopter 1.5 ft. to 3.25 ft. high off the ground.
If your helicopter turns CLOCKWISE, continue to turn the trim to the left until the turning stops
and the helicopter flies straight.
If your helicopter turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE, continue to turn the trim button to the right until the turning stops
and the helicopter flies straight.
Keep turning clockwise
or
Spiral clockwise
Keep turning counterclockwise
or
Spiral counterclockwise

Location
– Fly in a wide-open room [ideally over 10 ft. (W) x 16.5 ft. (L) x 8 ft. (H)], away from breakable items. Avoid flying near vents and/or fans, as these may
overpower the Sharpshooter™ and make it difficult to control.
NOTE:
Always get permission to fly your Sharpshooter™ indoors.
CAUTION:
Never fly near your face. Keep rotor away from your fingers, hair, eyes and other body parts. Always lift off from a flat surface. Never hold the flying
heli in your hand when lifting off. DO NOT launch heli near people or animals. Stay away from obstacles and electrical hazards.
