4. To lift off and climb: pull the trigger (#11). The harder you pull, the faster the rotor rotates, and the higher the
helicopter flies. The flight speed is indicated on the remote control by the red LEDs (#9).
5. To change direction: gently ease off on the trigger ; the helicopter's tail rotor will make the helicopter turn to the
right.
! It is not possible to accurately pre-select a right or left turn
.
When the helicopter is pointing in the desired
direction, pull the trigger harder again
.
6. To land: an ideal landing surface is a soft grassy area. Harsh landing surfaces may damage the helicopter. To
land, ease off on the trigger slowly. Do not ease off too fast, as this may cause your helicopter to come down too
fast and possibly crash or be seriously damaged.
7. To stop the rotor from spinning and retrieve the helicopter: push the trigger outwards to brake, and keep it pushed
to keep the rotor from spinning. Set the helicopter's on/off switch (#4) to off.
8. Always switch off the helicopter, remote control and charger when they're not being used to prolong battery life.
