Thank you for buying HUBSAN products. The helicopter is designed as an easy to
use, full featured RC helicopter model capable of all forms of rotary flight. Please read
the manual carefully before assembling the model, and follow all precautions and
recommendations within the manual. Be sure to retain the manual for future
reference, routine maintenance, and tuning.

1.1 IMPORTANT NOTES

This RC helicopter is not a toy, it utilizes various high-tech products and technologies
to provide superior performance.

Please read this manual carefully before operating this product. Improper use of this
product can result in serious injury. Be aware of your personal safety, safety of others
and your surrounding environment.

We recommend that you obtain the assistance of an experienced pilot before
attempting to fly our product for the first time.

2.1 CAUTION

R/C helicopters have parts that move at high speed, thus posing a certain degree of
danger. Pilots are responsible for any actions resulting in damage or injury from the
improper operation of their R/C aircraft models.

Choose a wide open space without obstacles. Do not operate R/C aircraft near
buildings, crowds of people, high voltage cables, or trees to ensure the safety of
yourself, others and your model.

Operate this unit within your ability. Do not fly whilst tired, improper operation may
cause in danger.

2.2 LiPo Battery Recharging

Your helicopter is powered by a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery.

Never recharge your battery whilst it is inserted in your model. It can catch fire leading
to the total destruction of the item.

6.7 Flying Outdoors

These inputs will result in your model adopting a nose-down right-roll attitude. Note that the top
rotor remains almost horizontal (as a result of the gyroscopic stabilizer arm), while the servos
have pushed the swash plate to tilt the lower rotor right-and-forwards in the intended direction
of travel.

Tip- if you become confused, releasing your helicopter’s controls will bring it to a stop. It will not
lose height, as the Throttle is on a ratchet.

The effect of simultaneous control inputs will, with practice, result in elegant slip-free turns
which demonstrate the sophisticated controls of your 4 channel RC helicopter.

The final challenge is to fly your helicopter outdoors under open skies!

Remember, your helicopter is designed for indoor operation, where low-speed
precision-control is paramount. When flying in the great outdoors - even though you may think
it’s absolute flat calm - you will notice that your helicopter is susceptible to almost
imperceptible air currents. This presents an interesting challenge for the experienced pilot, but
could spell disaster if attempted too soon. So, take your time and practice the Flying Lessons
described in this manual until you have acquired proficiency in the Advanced Maneuvers.

Make sure it really is a flat calm day outside. And remember that outdoor flight is a whole new
learning experience.

Flying your radio-controlled helicopter outdoors really is great fun. Just remember its design
limitations and be prepared to make the professional pilot’s decision to cancel your plans and
you helicopter will live to fly another day.

There are Old pilots, and there are Bold pilots……

But, there are no Old Bold pilots!

Charge and store LiPo batteries in a location where a battery fire or
explosion (including smoke hazard) will not endanger life or property

Keep LiPo batteries away from children and animals

Consider how you would deal with a LiPo battery fire/explosion as part of your
normal home Fire Safety & Evacuation Planning

Never charge a LiPo pack that has ballooned or swelled due to
over-/under-charging or from a crash

Never charge a LiPo battery pack that has been punctured or damaged in a
crash (After a crash, inspect the battery pack for the sign of damage. Discard
in accordance with your country’s recycling laws.).

Do not charge LiPo batteries near flammable materials or liquids

Ensure that charging leads are connected correctly. Reverse polarity charging
can lead to battery damage or a fire or explosion

Never charge a LiPo battery in a moving vehicle

Only charge your LiPo battery using the supplied “balanced” charger

Have a suitable(electrical type) fire extinguisher near the charging area OR a
large bucket of dry sand. Do not try to extinguish electrical (LiPo) battery fires
with water

Reduce risks from fire/explosion by storing and charging LiPo batteries inside
a suitable container: a LiPo Sack or metal/ceramic container is advised

Monitor recharging LiPo batteries for signs of overheating

Never over charge a LiPo battery

Never leave a LiPo battery unattended during recharging

Protect your LiPo battery from accidental damage during storage and
transportation. (Do not put battery packs in pockets or bags where they can
short circuit or can come into contact with sharp or metallic objects.)

If your LiPo battery is subjected to a shock (such as a helicopter crash) you
should place it in a metal container and observe for signs of swelling or
heating for at least 30 minutes

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify or repair a LiPo battery

LiPo batteries differ from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents are
encased in a relatively insubstantial foil packaging. This has the advantage of
significantly reducing their weight, but does make them more susceptible to
damage if roughly or inappropriately handled. As with all batteries, there is a risk
of fire or explosion if safety practices are ignored:

4. Notice that the cyclic joystick is spring-loaded, you must maintain a forwards pressure on the
cyclic joystick otherwise it will return to its neutral position and your helicopter will stop moving.

Tip-if you become confused, releasing your helicopter's controls will bring it to stop. it will not
lose height as the throttle is on a ratchet.

5. Stop you helicopter, turn it around (use rudder), and bring it back.

6. Choose a landing site. Fly your helicopter to a position that is precisely over your chosen
landing site and set your helicopter down in a smooth and precise landing.

7. Repeat this flying lesson until you become S-M-O-O-T-H-L-Y proficient and precise.

3.5 Advanced Maneuvering

In this flying lesson you will combine cyclic joystick Pitch and Roll inputs with collective Rudder
and Throttle inputs to give more precise control to your helicopter maneuvers.

You've probably already tried combining Rudder and forward Pitch inputs. This combination
allows you to turn your helicopter, but it won’t look right. The helicopter will remain upright. It's
like watching a bicycle that's not leaning into the turn, because air has very little grip, your
helicopter will actually skid through its turn.

The solution is to make the helicopter lean-"Roll"-so that rotors help to counteract the tendency
to skid (or 'side slip').To do this, you must learn to synchronise your use of mixed Pitch and Roll
on the cyclic joystick, with mixed Rudder and Throttle on the collective joystick

1. Begin a hover at shoulder height.

2. Push the cyclic stick Forwards to gather sufficient airspeed.

3. Begin your turn by pushing the cyclic joystick to the right (setting up the Roll) while
maintaining forward pressure.

4. As your model begins to respond to the Roll, push the collective Rudder joystick to the right
to initiate the turn.

5. Don't forget to be ready to catch the helicopter's loss of lift. As you servos are creating a
battery power drain, you will need to increase the collective Throttle while maintaining the
Rudder input Exiting the Turn maneuver

6. At the end of the turn, begin to SUMULTANEOUSLY ease off the cyclic Roll, collective
Rudder and the additional Throttle inputs. You should practice until you can simultaneously
use all of the joystick inputs in smooth, synchronized
movements. This will take a lot of practice!
