Below is a listing of features common to both Control Modes followed by a description of the unique features of the 2 Control Modes.The Wi-Fi Control Device of your choice will effectively operate your Wi-Fli Helicopter with full digital proportional control. Small adjustments of the control features will produce precise control. There are 2 different Control Modes available for your Wi-Fi Control Device. These are, Control Pad Mode, and Accelerometer Control Mode. Please note, Accelerometer Control Mode requires more skill and experience to use. It is intended as an advanced mode of control. Below is a listing of features common to both Control Modes followed by a description of the unique features of the 2 Control Modes.
Features common to both Control Modes: Trim Control – Allows you to compensate for unwanted turning of the Wi-Fli Helicopter from right to left. If the Wi-Fli Helicopter is
turning to the left when it shouldn’t, press the “+” button. If the Wi-Fli Helicopter is turning to the right when it shouldn’t, press the “-” button. Wi-Fi Signal Indicator – The Wi-Fli Helicopter emits a Wi-Fi signal to your Wi-Fi Control device during operation and vice versa. If the Wi-Fli Helicopter encounters interference or goes out of range, you will lose control of the Wi-Fli Helicopter. The Wi-Fi Signal Indicator provides information on the strength of the Wi-Fi Signal and allows you to avoid areas where the Wi-Fi Signal is poor.
Helicopter Battery Level – This Indicator shows the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s Internal Battery’s level of charge. Control Mode Toggle – This Toggle allows you to switch between Control Pad Mode and Accelerometer Control Mode. Throttle Slider – The Throttle Slider on the left side of the screen increases the thrust of the Helicopter by increasing the speed of the
Main Rotors. As you increase the level of the Throttle Slider, the Wi-Fli Helicopter will fly higher. Direction Indicator – The Direction Indicator, located in the center of your Wi-Fli Control Device’s Screen rotates to show you the direction that your Wi-Fli Helicopter is flying in, or turning in. The Direction Indicator is referenced as if it represented the pilot’s view.
Control Pad Mode:
The Control Pad Mode uses a Control Pad on the right hand side of the Wi-Fi Control Device’s Screen to control the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s direction of flight. It controls forward, reverse, and left to right turning of the Wi-Fli Helicopter. Control Pad – Use the right thumb to operate the Control Pad. This will allow you to turn your Wi-Fli Helicopter left to right and also to fly forward or in reverse.
Accelerometer Control Mode (For Advanced Users!):
The Accelerometer Control Mode uses the Wi-Fi Control Device’s Internal Accelerometer to control the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s direction of flight. It controls forward, reverse, and left to right turning of the Wi-Fli Helicopter by tilting the Wi-Fi Control Device in the desired direction of flight. Please note, Accelerometer Control Mode requires more skill and experience to use. It is intended as an advanced mode of control. Accelerometer Control – Tilt the Wi-Fi Control Device in the desired flight direction. This will allow you to turn your Wi-Fli Helicopter left to right and also to fly forward or in reverse.
As the Wi-Fli Helicopter is flying towards you, you will naturally experience a phenomenon called “Control Reversal”. Thus steering inputs to the right will make the helicopter fly to your left side. Also, steering inputs to the left will make the helicopter fly to your right side. This can be a bit tricky but it is normal and it just requires patience and practice to master the controls.

FLYING YOUR WI-FLI HELICOPTER:
WARNING: Check the condition of all the rotor blades prior to each flight. Do not try to operate the Wi-Fli Helicopter if any rotor blade has been damaged. Broken or damaged rotor blades may have sharp edges or corners and they will be spinning fast with a potential for injury! Flying the Wi-Fli Helicopter with broken rotor blades can also make the helicopter fly in an unstable or uncontrollable manner. This may cause damage to the Wi-Fli Helicopter, furniture and other property, as well as injury to plants, animals and people. Broken rotor blades can be easily replaced as described in the “REPLACING DAMAGED ROTOR BLADES” section below.
Once the steps outlined in the section, “SYNCING THE WI-FLI HELICOPTER WITH YOUR WI-FI CONTROL DEVICE” have been executed correctly, follow the next steps to fly your Wi-Fli Helicopter.
1. Select either the Control Pad Mode or the Accelerometer Control Mode by pressing the appropriate Control Mode Toggle Button on the Wi-Fi Control Device Screen.
2. Position the Wi-Fli Helicopter on a secure flat, level launching surface.
3. Slide the Throttle Slider on the Wi-Fi Control Device upwards to start spinning the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s Propellers. As you slide the Throttle Slider higher, the Wi-Fli Helicopter will lift off from the ground. Slide the Throttle Slider until the Wi-Fli Helicopter reaches your desired flight altitude.
4. Adjust unwanted spinning or turning of the Wi-Fli Helicopter with the Trim Control on the Wi-Fi Control Device. This should be done until the Wi-Fli Helicopter stops unwanted spinning in the air. This adjustment will be needed every time you fly your Wi-Fli Helicopter after charging. The trim setting will vary as the helicopter battery drains. Re-adjust trim during flight as required.
5. A) If you are in Control Pad Mode, use the Control Pad on the Wi-Fi Control Device to turn the Wi-Fli Helicopter during flight. Also use this Control Pad to make the Wi-Fli Helicopter fly forward or in reverse.
5. B) If you are in Accelerometer Control Mode, tilt the Wi-Fi Control Device to turn the Wi-Fli Helicopter during flight. Also tilt the Wi-Fli Control Device to make the Wi-Fli Helicopter fly forward or in reverse. It will take a little practice to get used to this method of flight control.
6. Congratulations! You are flying your Wi-Fli Helicopter. Enjoy!
7. To land your Wi-Fli Helicopter, gently and gradually move the Throttle Slider all the way down. This will slow the rotation of the Main Rotors and the Wi-Fli Helicopter will land. It is very important to NOT slide the Throttle Slider all the way down suddenly, as the Main Rotors will stop spinning instantly and the Wi-Fli Helicopter will fall and possibly sustain damage.
8 - A. To fly again, it may or may not be necessary to recharge your Wi-Fli Helicopter, depending on the charge that is
remaining in the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s internal Lithium-Polymer battery. Simply follow the steps described in the “CHARGING YOUR WI-FLI HELICOPTER” section above, to recharge your Wi-Fli Helicopter.
8 - B. If you are finished playing, land your Wi-Fli Helicopter. Slide the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s On / Off Switch to the Off position to
turn it off. Then turn off the Wi-Fli Control App on your Wi-Fi Control Device in the manner that is recommended by the third part manufacturer of your specific Wi-Fi Control Device.
FLYING TIPS!
Altitude Control - the Throttle Slider is a digital proportional system, therefore fine movement of the Throttle Slider will
produce minor changes in the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s altitude. Take time to practice controlling the altitude and getting accustomed to the throttle sensitivity. Trimming - Once flying at the desired height the Wi-Fli Helicopter may be spinning under the Rotors instead of holding a heading. Adjust the Trim Control so that the Wi-Fli Helicopter body does not spin. If the Wi-Fli Helicopter is spinning to the left (counter clockwise) when it shouldn’t, press the “+” button. If the Wi-Fli Helicopter is spinning to the right (clockwise) when it shouldn’t, press the “-” button. Many factors affect the Trim of the Wi-Fli Helicopter such as Internal Battery Condition, Throttle Slider 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 Turning Control in conjunction with the Trim Control. The Wi-Fli Helicopter should never be flown with damaged rotor blades. Flying the Wi-Fli Helicopter with damaged rotor blades is very dangerous. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” and “REPLACING DAMAGED ROTOR BLADES” sections for more information. Forward Flight - In Control Pad Mode, the best forward flight motion is achieved by gently moving your thumb up on the Control Pad. In Accelerometer Control Mode, the best forward flight motion is achieved by gently tilting your Wi-Fi Control Device’s top end downwards. Either of these approaches will produce the smoothest transition from hover to moving forward flight. Sharp or abrupt movements can cause the Wi-Fli 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 Wi-Fli Helicopter. Control Reversal - When the Wi-Fli Helicopter is flying towards you, the steering will appear to reverse. This is normal and
just takes some practice to control.
REPLACING DAMAGED ROTOR BLADES
In the event that your main Rotor Blades or tail rotor sustain damage, they are very easy to replace by following these easy steps. (Note, replacement main rotor blades not included)
Main Rotor Blades:
1. Locate the broken Rotor Blade and use a fine Philips screw-driver (not included) to unscrew the tiny screw that holds the Rotor Blade in place on the Hub Mount. Be careful not to lose the screw as it is tiny.
2. Pull the damaged Rotor Blade horizontally out and away from its location on the Hub Mount.
3. Install a new Rotor Blade in the same location on the Hub Mount by sliding it in horizontally. The holes for the screw have to align. It is very important that the correct Rotor Blade is installed as the Upper and Lower Main Rotor Blades may appear to be similar but are in fact very different. The Wi-Fli Helicopter will not be able to fly if the incorrect Rotor Blades are installed.
4. Fasten the new Rotor Blade to its Hun Mount with the same tiny screw that was pulled out earlier. Do not over tighten the screw as the Rotor Blade needs to be able to spin freely inside its Hub Mount. Your Wi-Fli Helicopter is ready to fly again!
Tail Rotor:
1. Locate the broken Tail Rotor on the end of the Wi-Fli Helicopter’s boom.
2. Remove the broken Tail Rotor by gently pulling it upwards off of the Tail Motor’s Axle Shaft. If the Tail Rotor does not easily come off, push down on the Tail Motor’s Axle shaft while pulling up on the Tail Rotor. Be very careful not to pull the Tail Motor’s Axle Shaft out of the plane as that will break the functionality of the Tail Rotor.
3. Install the replacement Tail Rotor by sliding it onto the Tail Motor’s Axle Shaft in the reverse process as outlined in step 2.
4. Gently press down on the replacement Tail Rotor until it is firmly in place.
REPLACING THE BALANCE-BAR-TO-UPPER-ROTOR CONNECTOR:
There is a small Connector which connects the Upper Rotor to the Balance Bar. In the event that this Connector becomes disconnected, broken, or lost, a replacement connector is included with your Wi-Fli Helicopter. Replacement is easy with the following steps.
1. The Connector is attached by 2 simple ball joints. Remove the broken Connector by pulling it away from the Axle of the Main Rotors. Once removed, the 2 ball joints will be exposed.
2. Install the new connector following the reverse of step 1. Gently but firmly press the connector into position, connecting the upper rotor and the balance bar. The connector will just snap into the 2 ball joints as shown.
STORING YOUR WI-FLI HELICOPTER:
It is a good idea to store the Wi-Fli Helicopter, AC Adapter and this Instruction Manual together so no components become misplaced or lost. Please respect the below points to extend the operational life of your Wi-Fli Helicopter during storage.
1. Product may be damaged or performance may be adversely affected if your Wi-Fli Helicopter is not properly stored.
