FIRST FLIGHT-TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER

TRIM CONTROL KNOB

LED

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.

Transmitter Function:
LEFT/RIGHT - controls left/right

steering direction of the helicopter.
Move the Stick Left -helicopter turns
to the left.
Move the Stick Right -helicopter
turns to the right

UP/DOWN - controls the rotor
speed and vertical movement of
the helicopter. The further you
push UP, the higher the helicopter
will fly.

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

precise control.
