BATTERY INSTALLATION – CONTROLLER/CHARGER

HOW TO INSTALL YOUR BATTERIES

1. Open the battery door with a screwdriver (pic.1). 2. If used batteries are present, remove these batteries from the unit by pulling up on one end of
each battery. 3. Install new batteries as shown in the polarity diagram (+/-) inside the battery compartment (pic.2). 4.Replace battery door securely (pic.3).

5. Check your local laws and regulations for correct recycling and/or battery disposal.

pic.1pic.1 pic.2pic.2

1. Turn controller/charger off
and lift up the cover. Take out
the charging wire.

Things to remember:

- Flight times and charge times are influenced by numerous factors. Typical flight times vary from 4-7 minutes with a 30 to 45 + minute charge time.

- Before you recharge the battery, wait 10-15 minutes to let the battery cool down.

TRIMMING FOR HELI MODE

1. If the plane moves toward the right (pic.1) when flying, rotate the roll-trim dial to the left until the plane flies straight (pic.2).

Roll Trimming:

2. If the plane moves toward the left (pic.3) when flying, rotate the roll-trim dial right until the plane fly straight (PIC.4).

pic.1pic.1 pic.3pic.3

Yaw Trimming:

1. When the plane turns right involuntarily (pic.1), press the left side of the yaw trim button ("L") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.2).

2. When the plane turns left involuntarily (pic.3), press the right side of the yaw trim button ("R") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.4).

pic.1pic.1 pic.3pic.3

TRIMMING FOR PLANE MODE

1. If the plane turns right involuntarily (pic.1), press the left side of the yaw trim button ("L") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.2).

2. If the plane turns left involuntarily (pic.3), press the right side of the yaw trim button ("R") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.4).
NOTE: The roll-trim dial has no function in plane mode.

pic.1pic.1 pic.3pic.3

NOTE: Your Osprey™ loses its trim EACH time you turn it off. So remember these helpful tips to stabilize it each time.

1. Location – Fly in a large wide-open, grassy location that is free of buildings, trees, overhead wires, and other obstructions.

2. Weather – Fly on mild, sunny days. Do not fly in electrical storms, rain, sleet, snow or other adverse weather conditions. Do not fly if the temperature is below

7°C/45°F. In very cold temperatures, the Osprey will become fragile and the engine performance will decrease.

3. Wind Conditions – Do not fly in strong winds. Strong winds may overpower the Osprey™ and make it difficult to control.

CAUTION: Never fly near your face. Keep propellers/rotors away from your fingers, hair, eyes and other body parts. Always lift off from a flat surface. Never

hold the Osprey™ in your hand when lifting off. DO NOT launch Osprey™ near people or animals. Stay away from obstacles and electrical hazards.

HELI MODE:

Vertical Take-off: Move the transition stick to the lower position (pic.1). Gently push the altitude stick forward to make the Osprey™ hover up

(pic.2). Gently pull the altitude stick back to make the Osprey™ hover down (pic.3). To turn right (pic.4) or left (pic.5) give short, small inputs to the transition
stick. DO NOT look at the controller/charger but focus on the Osprey™. NOTE: Once the Osprey™ leaves the ground it automatically flies forward slowly.
NOTE: If, on initial lift-off, without using the transition stick, the Osprey™ turns to the left or right, you will need to trim the Osprey™ to make it fly straight.
See trimming the Osprey™ in HELI MODE.

pic.2pic.2pic.1pic.1 pic.3pic.3 pic.4pic.4 pic.5pic.5

PLANE MODE:

and climb, push the altitude stick up slowly (pic.2). NOTE: Once the Osprey™ leaves the ground it should automatically fly forward. To fly to the right (pic.3) or
left (pic.4) move the transition stick in the direction you wish to go. To land, pull altitude stick back slowly until it flies at a lower altitude to allow for vertical
landing. Move transition stick down to tilt wings 90 into heli mode. Reduce throttle slowly to land plane. (pic.5). NOTE: If, on initial take-off, without using the
transition stick, the Osprey™ turns to the left or right, you will need to trim the Osprey™ to make it fly straight. See trimming for PLANE MODE.

After establishing vertical take-off, you can change to plane mode by shifting the transition stick to the upper position (pic.1). To accelerate

pic.2pic.2pic.1pic.1 pic.3pic.3 pic.4pic.4 pic.5pic.5

- While flying the Osprey™ in either plane or heli mode you can change modes in flight. - With transition stick in the up position the Osprey™ will fly horizontally
like a plane with propeller/rotors acting like propellers (pic.1). - Moving the transition stick down will rotate the main wing 90° into the heli mode with the
propeller/rotors acting like rotors. The Osprey™ will start to rise vertically and fly like a helicopter (pic.2). - Change to plane mode while in mid-air for awesome
flights and land either in plane or heli mode.

HOW TO REPLACE
DAMAGED PROPELLERS

Remove screw holding propeller (pic.1).
Spread bars and remove damaged
propeller (pic.2). Insert new propeller
making sure pin in bar goes through
hole in propeller. Replace screw.
NOTE: Make sure you use correct
propeller for correct side (pic.3).

HOW TO REPLACE
DAMAGED FLYBAR

If flybar is damaged and needs to be
replaced, remove locking ring, detach
connecting bars carefully, separate split
post holding flybar and remove. Ensure
that the flat side end faces forward.
Reverse procedure to replace.
NOTE: Make sure you use correct flybar
for correct side (pic.1).
