PRE FLIGHT- SYSTEM PREPARATION -Continued

PILOT INFORMATION NOTICE!

FLYING TIPS!

Charging your helicopter:

1) Ensure the helicopter's

on/off

switch is in the OFF position.

2) Plug the charger into the
helicopter
(as shown).

3) Ensure charger is ON- charging

will start automatically.

4) Let the charger run its charge
cycle. When charge is finished
the green LED goes out.

Color LED showing battery
power and charging status

Red LED is ON:

Power switch in "ON" position.

Red LED Dim:

The battery voltage is low.

Green LED is Flashing:

The helicopter is charging.

Green LED is OFF:

The helicopter is fully charged.

GET IN THE AIR FAST!!!
THE MICRO MOSQUITO 4X4 IS PARTIALLY CHARGED
SO YOU CAN FLY IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE BOX.
CHARGE TIME VARIES BASED ON HELICOPTER
AND CHARGER BATTERY CONDITIONS.
TYPICALLY AFTER A 5 MINUTE FLIGHT THE
HELICOPTER WILL NEED A 25 MINUTE CHARGE.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO WAIT FOR THE CHARGE
TO BE COMPLETE TO FLY, SHORTER CHARGE
TIMES = SHORTER FLIGHT TIMES.
YOU CAN POWER THE CHARGER BY USING AC
CURRENT IF YOU SUPPLY YOUR OWN AC ADAPTER
AND PLUG IT INTO THE COAXIAL INPUT JACK ON THE
SIDE OF THE CHARGER. THE ADAPTER SHOULD
RATED WITH DC 9V, 450mA OUTPUT AND
CENTRAL PIN POSITIVE. THE CHARGER OPERATION
AND CHARGE TIME WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED.

WARNING!: Interrupting the charge before the charge cycle is completed will not damage the battery, however for the

longest flight times please let the charger finish its charge cycle.

PILOT INFORMATION NOTICE!

The Micro Mosquito 4X4 is an indoor helicopter only. The technology that makes the helicopter

stable and easy to fly will prevent you from flying in winds!

GETTING TO KNOW THE MICRO MOSQUITO HELICOPTER

Basic Functions:
On / Off Switch - turns the

on and off.

LED - turns on when the transmitter is on.
Antenna - Fully extend to ensure the

greatest control range.

ANTENNA

LED

ON/OFF

CHANNEL
SWITCH

The transmitter is a digital
proportional radio, therefore small
movements in the control stick
produce

precise control.

There are 3 Control Mode for
selection as shown:

- 3CH Mode

- 4CH Mode

- 4CH PRO Mode

FIRST FLIGHT-TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER

Your helicopter must be "trimmed" to stop
unwanted rotation. First, using the "UP" control
stick, simply raise the helicopter to eye level
and turn the trim control knob (as shown) on
the transmitter unit either left or right till the
helicopter stops spinning. This should be
done everytime you fly your helicopter after
charging. Trim setting will vary as the
helicopter battery drains. Re-adjust trim
during flight as required.

Move the Stick Towards You -the
helicopter flies backwards.

Pre-Flight Checklist:

1) Extend transmitter antenna.

2) Turn on transmitter.

3) Turn helicopter on.

4) Set helicopter on a horizontal
flat surface for the best take off.

5) Push UP/DOWN completely to
UP, then back to DOWN to
initialize speed control.

6) Gently increase the UP/DOWN
throttle to ensure that the rotors
start spinning.Now that you know
your helicopter is functioning as
it should-

Transmitter Function in 3CH mode:
UP/DOWN - controls the rotor

speed and vertical movement of
the helicopter. The further you
push UP, the higher the helicopter
will fly.

FORWARD/BACKWARD ­Move the Stick Away From You

-the helicopter flies forward.
LEFT TURN/RIGHT TURN - controls
left/right steering direction of the helicopter.
Move the Stick Left/Right

-helicopter turns to the left/right.

Transmitter Function in 4CH mode:
UP/DOWN - controls the rotor

speed and vertical movement of
the helicopter. The further you
push UP, the higher the helicopter
will fly.

LEFT MOVE/RIGHT MOVE ­Move the Stick Left/Right

-the helicopter flies lateral Left/Right

Take off - To take off, the rotors need to spin up to speed to produce lift. For great take offs use the following steps.

1) Push the UP/DOWN throttle completely to UP and watch the helicopter leap off the ground.

2) Once off the ground, gently reduce the throttle so that the helicopter is at the desired height above the ground.
Altitude Control - the throttle control is a digital proportional system, therefore fine movement of the throttle stick will

produce minor changes in the

helicopter

altitude.
Take time to practice controlling the altitude and getting accustomed to the throttle sensitivity.
Note: The

helicopter

will always fly forward based on its design.

T rimming - Once flying at the desired height the helicopter may be spinning under the rotors instead of holding a heading.
Adjust the trim control so that the

helicopter

body does not spin: Turn the trim control left if the body is spinning right
(Clockwise)- Turn the trim control right if the body is spinning left (Counter Clockwise).
Note: many factors affect the trim of the helicopter such as battery condition, throttle setting and damage to the rotors.
It may be required to adjust the trim control more than once during a flight - once trimmed minor corrections can be
managed using the steering control. See TROUBLESHOOTING section for more information.

Forward Flight - the best forward flight motion is achieved by
gently moving the FORWARD control stick up, this produces the smoothest
transition from hover to moving flight. Sharp or abrupt movements can cause the helicopter
to "porpoise" or swing, but might be required to overcome a slight wind or draft.

Direction control - Direction control convention is based as if you were sitting in the pilot's seat
of the

helicopter

Pushing the stick left results in a left turn. Pushing the stick right results in a right turn.

Control Reversal- When the

. The LEFT/RIGHT stick on the transmitter controls the steering of the helicopter.

is flying towards you the steering will appear to reverse.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUSE:

1) Turn helicopter on.

2) Ensure helicopter is off and charge battery.

3) Ensure batteries are fresh.

4) Adjust helicopter's on/off switch to OFF, then switch on again.

1) Turn transmitter on.

2)
initialize speed control.

3) Ensure helicopter is OFF and charge battery.

1) Move the throttle stick down.

1) Move the throttle stick up.

2) Ensure the helicopter is OFF and charge the battery .

3) Remove batteries from charger & replace
and charge the helicopter again.

1) Push the FORWARD/BACKWARD stick back/ forward to
compensate and hold the helicopter in position.

1) Aerodynamics make flying backwards more difficult than
flying forwards and this flight pattern is normal. Practice flying
backward and control the left/right motion to keep the tail
pointed in the direction you desire.

1) Turn the helicopter off and charge the battery.

2) Replace tail rotor with new unit from the replacement
rotor kit (available in stores)

3) Sellotape a clip on the base of the helicopter to add
weight to adjust the center of gravity. See also “Helicopter
doesn’t hover” issue.

1) Adjust the trim control knob.See the FLYING TIPS section.

2) Gently bend more curvature into the blades.
a. Adjust the top rotor blades.
b. Adjust the bottom rotor blades.

1) Realign with equal spacing between the pair of main gears.

2) Replace locking pin as shown.

3) Replace the rubber stopper (part separately available inside
Replacement Parts Kit).

CORRECTIVE ACTION:

Push UP/DOWN completely to UP, then back to DOWN to

with new batteries
