CONTROL TIPS
• It is best to start with both joysticks on the remote control in the middle
position. Do not immediately push into extreme positions. Start by gently
easing the joystick into the position of the direction you would like to go.
• EXRC
TM
recommends for initial piloting of the helicopter, focus on learning
to control the throttle joystick rst. During your rst ight we recommend
you work at learning to keep the helicopter at a constant 3 foot altitude
before attempting to learn directional control of the helicopter. After the
pilot has mastered the throttle joystick, then start learning to turn with
the direction joystick.
SAFETY TIPS
• Read the entire manual before attempting to pilot your helicopter.
• This product is intended for indoor use, and works best indoors. We do
not recommend using the product outdoors.
• Never attempt to y your helicopter in a cluttered space. This helicopter
was intended for obstacle-free wide area spaces.
• Make sure all people and animals are 3-5 feet from the helicopter before
you start ying it.
• Always keep focus on your helicopter, and do not attempt to y/land/or
crash anywhere on or near any other people or animals.
• The rotating parts on the helicopter could lead to injury. Never put any
body part including the hands and face, close to the rotating parts. Only
operate this product standing, as it allows for quick movement away from
the helicopter if necessary.
• Never operate the helicopter using parts that are altered in shape or
damaged in any form.
