Introduction
www.hobbyking.com
Thank you for purchasing the Assault 100; this advanced, dual-brushless helicopter represents the pinnacle of micro helicopter technology. Equipped with a highly refined flight control system and pirouette compensation technology, the Assault 100 is one of the smoothest high performance helicopters on the market today.
From basic flight maneuvers to aggressive aerobatics, the Assault 100 can do it all for those who appreciate the power of larger helicopters but lack the flying space, we believe that the Assault 100 is the perfect replacement and solution. Robust engineering, high quality Dupont plastics and advanced carbon fiber composites make the Assault 100 one of the most robust helicopters of its size on the market today.
Prior to making your first flight, please take time to read through this manual. It contains important pre-flight information and useful tips that will help make your first flight, and every flight, a successful one.

5. ESC Lock: To prevent accidental start-ups, the ESC is locked when the ASSAULT 100 is initialized. To unlock, push the throttle up to midpoint then return it to the lowest position; at this point, you should hear the ESC give an au
-dible warning, signifying that the ESC has been unlocked.
6. Soft-start: The ESC has a soft-start function that is programmed at the factory, where the motor would spin up gradually when the throttle is first advanced to the 40% mark or above.
7. Once the ESC has been unlocked and the motor has spun up to speed, the aircraft is ready for flight.

1. RF MODULE CHART
2. Parameters Sealed battery Specification: 3.7V Li-Po battery 150mAh Operating voltage: 5 ~ 12V.DC Operating Current: 100 mA Operating frequency: 2402 MHZ ~ 2477 MHZ Spread Spectrum mode: FHSS Number of frequency channels: 20 Hopping Rate: 240 Jump/s
3. Charging operation
First put the internal power supply switch to OFF position, no LED lights on RF Module bright this time, then connect RF Module to a computer (or the other power supplier equipment) using USB wire, this time, Signal indicator light starts to flash and Mode indicator light shows charging status: red means charging,turning to green means charging is over.
4. Normal operation
Function
3.Charging protection and Low voltage alarm function.
1.Built in battery supply with charge protection and low voltage alarm.
2.Supports most mainstream radios.
RF Module instruction
Also use to indicate charging status
1. If the radio supplies power to the module, switch the internal power supply switch to the OFF position. Connect the module to the radio via the included signal cables.
2. If no power is supplied by the radio, switch the internal power supply switch to the ON position. Connect the module to the radio via the included signal cables.
3. Under normal circumstances, the LEDs are green, if they are red, check to see if the signal cable is properly connected. Check also that the radio is operating under PPM output. Press the button on the module to cycle through different radios- the status indicator will be green with Futaba radios, red with JR radios and off with Walkera radios.
