2. HOW TO CONTROL FLIGHT:

Up and Down Hovering:

From steady ﬂ ight, slowly pushing the throttle stick upward will make the FIRE STRIKE PRO ﬂ y higher. To make it ﬂ y lower, simply lower the stick a little. Smooth ﬂ ying takes only small changes in the stick position.

Left and Right Turns:

Hold the FIRE STRIKE PRO steady in the air. Push the direction stick left to turn left, and push the direction stick right to turn right.

3. HOW TO LIFT-OFF (after Trimming):

• Place the FIRE STRIKE PRO on a smooth surface. An uneven ﬂ oor surface will affect its take-off.

• Slowly increase the throttle.

• DO NOT look at the controller while ﬂ ying. Focus on the FIRE STRIKE PRO.

• As soon as the FIRE STRIKE PRO leaves the ground, reduce the throttle slightly. Adjust the throttle as necessary to maintain altitude.

• Gently add throttle if the FIRE STRIKE PRO descends.

• Gently reduce throttle if the FIRE STRIKE PRO climbs.

• For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (Most beginners will initially over-control the FIRE STRIKE PRO.)

Safety Tips

• Read through the entire instruction manual before ﬂ ying your FIRE STRIKE PRO.

• This product should be ﬂ own only indoors.

• Make sure that you and other people stay 3 to 6 feet (or 1 to 2 meters) away from the FIRE STRIKE PRO while you begin ﬂ ight.

• Always keep your eye on the ﬂ ying toy to prevent it from ﬂ ying, landing, or crashing on or near your head or body, or on other people.

• Never disassemble or attempt to modify the FIRE STRIKE PRO. You could damage the product and create the potential for damage or injury.

• Never put your hands or face close to rotating parts. Doing so risks injury. Never operate the FIRE STRIKE PRO while sitting on the ﬂ oor or on a chair — always ﬂ y from a position that lets you get out of the way quickly if necessary.

• Always switch off both the FIRE STRIKE PRO and the controller when you leave the controller unattended. If the power switch is left on, unintended stick operation might occur (for example, if the controller falls face-forward onto the ﬂ oor).

• Due to the dangers of the rotating parts no one under the age of eight should be allowed to operate the FIRE STRIKE PRO.

• Never use parts that are damaged.

Trouble Shooting

Safety Tips

Problem: Blades can’t turn.

Cause: • ON/OFF switch is OFF.

• Weak battery.

Solution: • Set switch to ON.

• Recharge the battery.

Problem: Fire Strike Pro suddenly stops ﬂ ying and drops.

Cause: Too little power.

Solution: Recharge the battery pack.

Moving Forward and Backward:

Hold the FIRE STRIKE PRO steady in the air. Push the direction stick forward to move forward, and push the direction backward right to move backward.

4. FLIGHT LOCATIONS:

Choose a location that meets the following criteria:

1. Indoors, with little air movement. Avoid circulating air from heating and air conditioning.

2. Room sizes should be at least 10 feet (3 m) wide x 10 feet (3 m) long x 8 feet (2.4 m) high.

3. Avoid ﬂ ying in areas with electric fans, air conditioning, reading lamps or other objects that could interfere.

Operating Tips

• Always move the controller’s throttle stick to the down position after a crash.

• Do not ﬂ y in direct sunlight or very bright lighting — these can affect the control system of your toy.

• Do not cover the infrared signal emitter of the controller. If you do, no signals can be sent to your FIRE STRIKE PRO.

• Do not place any other labels or stickers onto the FIRE STRIKE PRO. These will interfere with its ability to receive the infrared signal.

• Two FIRE STRIKE PRO models cannot be ﬂ own on the same radio band.

Control Tips

• When moving the sticks of the controller, avoid pushing them immediately to the extreme positions. They should be moved gradually like steering a bicycle, not sharply like operating computer game joysticks.

• After completing the trimming procedure, beginner pilots should focus exclusively on mastering the throttle stick ﬁ rst. Even if the FIRE STRIKE PRO turns around a bit by itself, there is no need to keep it ﬂ ying straight — just learn how to maintain a constant altitude of about 3 feet (or 1 meter) with small inputs from the throttle stick. After accomplishing that, you can learn to take control with the direction stick.

Problem: Loss of control.

Cause: • Another infrared control device is interfering.

• Strong lighting is interfering.

Solution: • Avoid other devices with infrared controls.

• Choose another ﬂ ying location.

Fire Strike Pro Charging Procedure

Note: Before recharging the Fire Strike Pro’s LiPo battery after ﬂ ying, always wait 10-15 minutes for it to cool down.

1. Turn off both the Fire Strike Pro and the controller.

2. Pull out the charge cord from the bottom of the controller.

(Pic 1).

3. Carefully plug the charging cord into Fire Strike Pro (Pic 2). DO NOT FORCE. When inserted properly, the charging cord should ﬁ t easily in the charging port. Incorrect insertion of the charging cord will damage the Fire Strike Pro and may create a hazard.

4. Turn the switch to the CHARGE position on the controller. (Pic 3).

5. The controller’s Charge LED will start to ﬂ ash. (Pic 4).

6. When the charge LED shines steadily without ﬂ ashing,

charging is complete.

7. Turn controller switch to the ON position before ﬂ ying the Fire Strike Pro.

The Fire Strike Pro can ﬂ y for about 5-6 minutes after 25-30 minutes of charging.
