1 INT RODUC TION
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.
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.
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 SAF ETY N OTES
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.
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!
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.

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!
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.
6.7 Flying Outdoors
The final challenge is to fly your helicopter outdoors under open skies!
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:
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

2.3 PREVENT MOISTURE
R/C models are composed of many precision electrical components. It is critical to keep the model and associated equipment away from condensation and other contaminants. Exposure to water or moisture may cause the model to malfunction resulting in loss of responsiveness, or a crash.
2.4 PROPER OPERATION
For the safety purpose, please only use hubsan’s spare parts for replacement.
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.
2.5 ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE ROTATING BLADES
When in operation, the main and tail rotor blades will be spinning at high speed. The blades are capable of inflicting serious body injury and damage to the environment. Be cautious of your actions and careful to keep your body and loose clothing away from the blades. Never take your eyes off the model or leave it unattended while it is turned on. Once landed, immediately turn off the model and transmitter.
2.6 AVOID FLYING ALONE
Beginners should avoid flying alone whilst learning flight skills. It is advised that an experienced pilot be on hand for guidance.
It is recommended to practice with a computer-based flight simulator.
3 SAF ETY C HECK BEFOR E FLY ING
CAREFULLY INSPECT BEFORE REAL FLIGHT
• Before operation, please check the batteries of the transmitter and receiver are
charged enough for the flight.
• Before turning on the transmitter, please check that the throttle stick is in the
minimum position.
• Check for any missing or loose screws and nuts. Carefully check main rotor blades
and rotor holders. Broken or premature failure of parts will result in a dangerous situation.
• Check all the ball links to avoid excess play and replace as needed. Failure to do so
will result in poor flight stability.
• Check the battery and power plug are securely fastened. Vibration and violent flight
may cause the plug to loosen resulting in loss of control.
• When turning on the unit, please follow the power on/off procedure: for Power ON-
please turn on the transmitter first, and then turn on the receiver. For Power OFF­please turn off the receiver first and then turn off the transmitter. Improper procedure may cause loss of control of the helicopter.
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.
