Be sure to fly Air Hogs® in a grassy, wide-open area free of trees,
overhead wires and other obstructions. This will ensure soft landings, 
and will thus help extend the life of your helicopter. If your helicopter 
gets caught in a tree or other object, NEVER climb up to get it yourself.
Call an adult for help.

Air Hogs® are very light. As a result, the wind will greatly affect the flight.

If you are flying Air Hogs® in a strong wind, the angle of your launch should
be below 45 degrees. Otherwise, the helicopter will fly straight up in the air,
and may stall.

If you are flying in a light breeze, the angle at which you launch the helicopter
should be above 45 degrees. This will help lift Air Hogs® high into the air.

In some cases, it may be necessary to adjust the rear flaps as the
helicopter’s factory settings may shift slightly during manufacturing or
shipping. Other times, you may want to change the helicopter's flight
characteristics just for fun.

A. If your helicopter climbs at too steep of an angle and stalls, adjust both
flaps downward as shown. This will level-out the angle of flight.

B. If the helicopter tends to dive downward, or is not able to reach heights of
over 15 feet, adjust both flaps gently upward.

C. If your helicopter curves left during flight, or dives down to the left, adjust
the right rear flap up. This will help the helicopter to fly straight again.

D. If your helicopter curves right during flight, or dives down to the right,
adjust the left rear flap up.
