FLIGHT CONDITIONS

Please ensure the following conditions for your fl ight location:
• Indoor Environment with little air conditions. Heavy air-conditioning can
be too strong for heli fl ight. It is highly recommended to turn off all fans,
air conditioning units, or reading lamps that could impair fl ying.
• We recommend that the area/space for fl ight be at least 10 x 15 x 10 feet.
CONTROL TIPS
• It is best to start with both joysticks on the remote control in the middle
position. Do not immediately push into extreme positions. Start by gently
easing the joystick into the position of the direction you would like to go.
• EXRC™ recommends for initial piloting of the helicopter, focus on learning
to control the throttle joystick fi rst. During your fi rst fl ight we recommend
you work at learning to keep the helicopter at a constant 3 foot altitude
before attempting to learn directional control of the helicopter. After the
pilot has mastered the throttle joystick, then start learning to turn with
the direction joystick.
