3. Flight control:
Hover up and down:
When the helicopter flies steadily, you can slowly push the throttle stick up to
make helicopter fly higher, or lower the stick a bit to make helicopter fly lower.
Only small amounts of stick position change are required for smooth flying.
Hover up
Hover down
Turn left and right:
Maintain the helicopter at a certain height. Push the direction stick toward left to
turn the helicopter anticlockwise, and push the direction stick toward right to turn
it clockwise.
Accelerates & decelerates:
If you turn the helicopter slowly anticlockwise, it will decelerate. When it is
turned clockwise, it will accelerate.
Normal forward flight:
Maintain the helicopter at a certain height. Push the normal forward button
once to make helicopter fly forward at normal speed for a while.
Fast forward flight:
Maintain the helicopter at a certain height. Push the fast forward button once
to make helicopter fly forward at fast speed for a while.
Continuous forward flight:
Maintain the helicopter at a certain height. Push both the normal and fast forward
buttons at the same time to make helicopter fly forward continuously.
4. Lift-off procedures (after Trimming procedure):
- Put the helicopter on a smooth surface. Uneven floor surface will affect its lifting off.
- Slowly increase the throttle.
- Do not look at the transmitter but focus on the helicopter.
- As soon as the helicopter leaves ground, reduce the throttle slightly. (in the worst case, helicopter will go back to the floor,
but that is better than crashing against the ceiling)
- Very gently add the throttle if the helicopter descends.
- Very gently reduce the throttle if the helicopter ascends.
- For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (most beginners will easily overcontrol the helicopter)
- For moving forward, turn the helicopter pointing to more open space before pushing the forward buttons.
5. Helicopter headlight:
Press the headlight button once to switch the LED headlight on. Press the button again to switch the LED off.

Flying Your Helicopter
Tip! CONTROLLING
- For controlling the sticks on transmitter, try not to push the sticks immediately any extreme
positions. It should be like steering a bicycle rather than pressing computer game sticks.
- For the novice pilot (after the trimming procedure is completed), it is highly recommended to
focus exclusively on learning to control the throttle stick first. If the helicopter turns around by
itself there is no need to keep it straight. For the first flight, it is important to learn to keep the
helicopter at a constant altitude of around 1 meter with very gentle inputs on the throttle stick.
Once the pilot masters this, he may start learning to take control with the direction stick.
- Set the band on transmitter to the same as the helicopter's. Make sure that the transmitter is switched off.
- Switch on the helicopter, the red LED in the canopy will flash.
- Place the helicopter on the ground with the tail point towards you and the nose pointing away.
- Make sure the throttle stick is at the minimum position, then switch on the transmitter.
1. Flight Environment:
Choose the place which meets the following condition:
1. Indoor environment with calm air. Beware of the air circulation from the air-conditioner.
2. Caution: There must not be any dangerous objects (electric fan, air-conditioner, reading lamp, etc) on the flight path.
2. Trimming the helicopter:
- Gently push the throttle up to raise your helicopter about 0.5 to 1 meter high.
- When the helicopter spirals (fig.1)
or keeps turning clockwise (fig.2),
press the left side of the yaw trim
button ("L") repeatedly untill the
helicopter flies straight (fig.3).

Spiral clockwise
Tip! OPERATION
- After you crash your helicopter, you need to restart the helicopter by slide it’s power
switch to “OFF” and then check for damages. If there is no damage slide the power
switch to “ON” again.
- Don’t operate the helicopter under the direct bright light it will affect the control
system of your helicopter.
- Don’t cover the IR Diode of the transmitter as it will block the IR signal.
- Don’t stick any other label onto the helicopter as it will affect receiving of IR signal.

Spiral counter clockwise
ENGLISH 3
- When the helicopter spirals (fig.4)
or keeps turning counter
clockwise (fig.5), press the right
side of the yaw trim button ("R")
repeatedly untill the helicopter
flies straight (fig.6).
Battery compartment Battery compartment
1. Open the battery compartment by
loosening the screw.
2. Insert 6 AA batteries in the battery
compartment with correct polarity.
3. Close the battery compartment.
Note: When the power indicator on the transmitter starts blinking, replace the batteries with the aforementioned procedures.
Charging Helicopter
1. Pull out the cover and take out the
charging plug from the transmitter.
Note: 1. The helicopter can operate for about 5 - 6 minutes per every 20 - 30 minutes charging.
2. Before recharging the battery, wait 10 - 15 minutes for it to cool down.
2. Switch off the helicopter. Insert the charging
plug into the charging socket on the
helicopter.
3. Switch on the transmitter. The charging
process will begin automatically and the
green charging indicator will light up. Unplug
the charging plug after the charging indicator
turns off, charging is completed.

Balance Adjuster
- Moving the balance adjuster to change the centre of gravity of the helicopter will
adjust the forward speed.
- Slide the balance adjuster towards the nose of the helicopter to increase the forward
speed. To decrease or cease the forward speed, slide the balance adjuster towards
the tail. Slide the balance adjuster in a small amount.
- Tail alignment adjustment. If the helicopter speeds forward/ backward by itself.

anticlockwise for about 30°.
If the helicopter speeds
backward unintentionally, twist
the tail clockwise for about 30°.
