Thank you...

for purchasing the revolutionary FUN Piccolo. The Piccolo is a 
new state-of-the-art electric R/C model helicopter that at last 
makes indoor flying' a practical reality. Latest technology 
design and production processes plus extensive R&D ensure 
incredible flight performance/flying time even when using a 
standard 4 channel R/C transmitter. As a bonus, the extensive 
use of carbon fibre materials has imparted a quite amazing 
strength/weight ratio to this model, helping to make it a 
practical outdoor, calm weather flying machine.

The contents of this kit have been carefully packed and 
checked at the factory. However, please inspect the kit 
carefully to ensure that all parts are present and undamaged. 
Please inform us immediately if you find anything missing or 
damaged.

Care and safety...

Always take great care when constructing any R/C model; the 
Piccolo is no exception. From the box to the flying field, the 
Piccolo will provide you with a great deal of fun and 
satisfaction. However, please be aware that this helicopter is 
NOT A TOY. It must be assembled with care and responsibility. 
It should be operated only in a safe manner and in safe areas. 
Your Piccolo should never be flown irresponsibly or without 
due regard for other people or property.
Flying R/C model helicopters is not difficult but requires 
patience and practice. If you are a newcomer to R/C model 
helicopters, you should seek advice from your local model 
club or store/shop before flying your Piccolo. Ikarus and 
Ikarus' distributors will not be held liable for any loss or 
damage arising from misuse or improper operation of this 
model.

Helicopters are subject to certain physical laws and an 
understanding of the principles of flight is important. A clear 
understanding of the principles of flight can make the all-
important difference between executing a 'good' landing as 
opposed to a 'bad' landing. Small and sensitive control inputs 
are needed when flying helicopters. Care and patience is the 
key to success. The Piccolo is the result of extensive design 
evolution and testing and this is reflected in the high quality 
components and excellent performance of this model. This, by 
itself, does not guarantee success. The quality and 'flyability' 
of the constructed model is down to you. To ensure success, 
please follow the instructions in this manual carefully and 
study R/C model  helicopter flight technique diligently.

possible. When in doubt, 'draw out' the problem on paper. 
Consider and reconsider the problem before proceeding. 
Don't hesitate to seek help from a more experienced 
helicopter modeler.

WARNING!:

Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue bonds skin instantly. In case of eye 
contact, avoid blinking, rinse with water and seek medical 
attention immediately. Keep CA glue out of the reach of 
children. Avoid breathing vapors. Use only in well ventilated 
areas.

General

:

This helicopter is unique because of it's miniature 
components. The components are weight-optimized and 
small. Therefore, they require special care when being 
handled. Examine parts for any molding flash and other 
molding imperfections before each step. Remove burrs or 
flash with a sharp knife or sandpaper.
During assembly, use CA glue sparingly. Using too much glue 
does not build a stronger machine, just a heavier one. Also, 
over-use of glue will complicate disassembly in the future. Be 
careful when applying CA to parts because CA can run and 
possibly wick into parts you do not want to glue. Use CA 
conservatively!

Make sure that all surfaces to be joined with CA glue are clean 
and free of dirt, grease or oil. Also, clean all parts before gluing 
to free them of any left-over mold release agent. Different CA 
glues have different cure times. Full strength is achieved after 
12 hours. CA glue requires humidity (moisture) to cure, so it 
sometimes helps speed the  set time to breathe on the glue.
Depending on the moisture conditions, CA can harden in
