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 of conditions for heli fl ight. It is also highly recommended to turn
off all electric 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 ft. x 15 ft. x 10 ft.
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. Instead start by
gently easing the joystick into the position of which 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.
Safety Tips:
• Read through the entire instruction manual, before attempting to pilot your
helicopter.
• This product is intended for indoor use, and works best indoors. We do not
recommend using the product outdoors.
• Never attempt to fl y your helicopter in a cluttered space. This helicopter was
intended for obstacle free wide area spaces.
• Make sure all people and animals are 3-5 feet from the helicopter before you
start fl ying it.
• Always keep focus on your helicopter, and do not attempt to fl y/land/or
crash anywhere on or near any other people or animals.
• The rotating parts on the helicopter could lead to injury. Never put any body
part including the hands and face, close to the rotating parts. Only
operate this product standing, as it allows for quick movement away from
the helicopter if necessary.
• Never operate the helicopter using parts that are altered in shape or
damaged in any form.
