Safety tips
4. geNerAL FLyINg tIPS:
• Always place the helicopter on a flat 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 first-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 flying 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.
5. SuItABLe FLIgHt LocAtIoNS:
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
1. Indoors, with little air movement. Where possible, avoid circulating air from heating and
air conditioning.
2. The room should be at least 10 metres long, 6 metres wide and 3 metres high.
3. Do not fly in rooms with electric fans, lamps or other objects that may interfere with flight.
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 flying into and injuring the pilot, other people
or animals.
Safety tips
troubleshooting
causes:
• The ON/OFF switch
is “OFF”.
• The battery is too weak
or dead.
Solutions:
• Set ON/OFF switch
to “ON”.
• Recharge the battery.
Problem:
the rotor blades are not turning.
Problem:
the helicopter suddenly stops flying
and drops.
causes:
The battery is too weak.
Solutions:
Recharge the battery.
Problem:
Loss of helicopter control.
causes:
• Another infrared control device
is interfering with the signal.
• Strong lighting is interfering with
the signal.
Solutions:
• Avoid or turn off other possible sources
of infrared signals.
• Fly the helicopter at a different location.
• Always move the throttle stick to the down position after a crash.
• Do not fly the helicopter in direct sunlight or very bright lighting. These may affect the infrared controller.
• Do not cover the infrared signal receiver of the helicopter or the infrared signal emitter of the controller. If these are covered, the helicopter will not be able to receive any signal.
• Do not place any stickers or other labels on the helicopter, as these may affect the infrared signal transmission.
• Two or more helicopters of the same model cannot be flown on the same radio band. In this case, use the band selector to choose a different band (A, B, C).
operating tips
IMPortANt!
Since 2005, model airplanes and helicopters that can fly higher than 30 metres must be insured.
Contact your private liability insurer to find out if your new and old models are covered. Ask your
insurer for written confirmation and keep this in a safe place.
