Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 10 to 15 minutes before charg-
ing and after every flight. Otherwise they can be damaged. The charging process must
be constantly monitored. Always ensure that the charging process takes place on a
fireproof surface in a fire-resistant environment.
• Switch off the helicopter and the remote control (4A).
• Carefully insert the plug of the charger in an outlet (4B).
• Now connect the plug of the charger to the helicopter (4C). The plug must be gently
inserted – DO NOT USE FORCE. If the plug is not correctly inserted into the battery con-
nection, the helicopter may become damaged and, under certain circumstances,
become an injury risk.
• The LED on the charger illuminates red after it is plugged into an outlet.
• When the battery is connected, the charging process begins and the LED goes out.
• The charging process is complete when the LED illuminates red again.
• Now disconnect the battery from the charger and the charger from the mains.
The helicopter can fly for approx. 5–7 minutes after a charge time of approx.
90 minutes.
Warning notice: The LiPo battery does not normally heat up while charging. If it
should become warm or even hot and/or changes to the surface begin to appear,
immediately discontinue the charging process!

The thrust controller (the left controller on the remote control) must point down before
being switched on (5A). Then set the ON/OFF switch of the remote control to the "ON"
position; the Power LED will flash red (5B).

Set the ON/OFF switch on the side of the helicopter to the "ON" position (5C).
Place the helicopter on the ground so that the tail points toward you (5D).
Now move the thrust control to full throttle and back to zero; the power LED
then illuminates continuously red and the helicopter is ready for flight.
6 TrIM aDJusTMenT OF THe COnTrOL
The correct trimming is a basic requirement for achieving fault-free flying from the
helicopter. Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it.
Please observe the following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control
up and raise the helicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.

If the helicopter automatically
rotates clockwise...
If the helicopter begins to automatically
rotate clockwise, rotate the left/right
trim adjustment anti-clockwise until the
helicopter no longer rotates.
7 FLIgHT COnTrOL
Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smoothing flying
behaviour of the helicopter!
7A In order to start or gain altitude,
carefully move the thrust control
forward.
7C Fly forward by carefully moving the
directional controller forward.
7E To fly along a left-handed curve,
carefully move the directional
controller to the left, as long as the
helicopter tail is facing toward the
pilot.
6B
If the helicopter automatically
rotates anti-clockwise ...
If the helicopter begins to automati-
cally rotate anti-clockwise, rotate the
left/right trim adjustment clockwise
until the helicopter no longer rotates.
7B Move the thrust control back for
landing or to fly lower.
7D Fly backward by carefully moving
the controller backward.
7F To fly to the right, carefully move
the directional control to the right,
as long as the helicopter tail is facing
toward the pilot.
