Select the desired skill mode by pressing inward onto the pitch/roll control stick. If this is your fi rst time fl ying an R/C helicopter, select the Beginner
mode. This will allow the helicopter react to your control inputs more gradually than Advanced mode, providing more time to think and react.
Be certain the transmitter antenna is in its vertical position and
that the power switch on the transmitter has been turned on.
Note:
Unless performing the “Binding” procedure described on
page 7, never allow the battery to be connected to the helicopter
without the transmitter turned on. This means you should
always turn on the transmitter
fi rst
before inserting the battery
and remove the battery
before
turning off the transmitter.
Also be certain the throttle control stick is fully down so the
rotors will not rotate when you connect the battery.
Note:
If you
inadvertently connect the battery with the transmitter off, or with
the transmitter on but the throttle stick not all the way down, the
rotors should not turn until you turn on the transmitter or move
the throttle stick all the way down.
