2. HOW TO CONTROL FLIGHT:
Up and Down Hovering:
Slowly pushing throttle stick upward will make the
helicopter fl y higher. To make it fl y lower, simply
lower the stick slowly. Smooth fl ying takes only
small changes in the stick position.
3. HOW TO LIFT-OFF (after Trimming):
• Place helicopter on a level surface.
• Slowly increase throttle.
• As soon as helicopter leaves the ground, reduce throttle slightly. Adjust
throttle as necessary to maintain altitude.
• For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick.

4. FLIGHT LOCATIONS:
Choose a location.
1. Indoors, with little air movement. Avoid circulating air from heating

with its ability to receive the infrared signal.
• Two helicopter models cannot be fl own on the same infrared band.
