PERFORMANCE TIPS

SKY SHOCK DELIVERS A PLAYING TIME OF 5-7 MINUTES. YOUR TIMES MAY VARY, DEPENDING ON WIND,
TM
TEMPERATURE AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
• Give yourself plenty of flying room. For best results, operate vehicle in a wide open area.
• Avoid buildings, trees and power lines as they may obstruct your flight path.
• Launching into a gentle breeze will allow the vehicle to take off with the least amount of runway space.
• Make small, smooth and slow movements on the throttle and steering joysticks.
• Vehicle can be hand launched by holding it directly under the wings, then pushing the throttle joystick completely forward and gently throwing
the vehicle ahead, parallel to the ground.
• Point your controller up, not down toward your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won't work properly.
• Don't drive your vehicle in sand or through water or snow. Do not immerse in water. If your vehicle or controller does get wet, wipe it with a
towel, remove batteries, and allow to dry completely overnight. Replace with fresh batteries before next use.
• PLAY SAFELY – Do not drive or fly vehicle in the street! Watch out for people, animals and obstacles.
• DO NOT attempt to operate your vehicle in strong winds. Wind will make it difficult to fly safely and will reduce battery life and flying time.
Remember that the wind may be stronger higher up in the sky than at ground level.
REPAIR & TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Use clear household tape to repair tears, creases or cracks. Use sparingly as added weight will affect performance.
2. Dirt or mud on the vehicle can affect its operation. Use a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt immediately. If the vehicle gets wet, turn it off and allow
it to dry completely overnight.
3. When the vehicle does not respond, slows down, or loses range, recharge the vehicle. If performance does not improve following a recharge, install
fresh alkaline batteries in the controller.
4. Radio interference can affect your vehicle's performance. Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles running on the same frequency, electrical
wires, large buildings, WiFi or Bluetooth. If you experience interference, turn off your vehicle and controller and relocate to a different area.
5. When exposed to an electrostatic source, the toy may malfunction. Switch OFF both the vehicle and controller. Remove batteries from the controller,
wait 30 seconds, re-insert batteries and switch ON again. This should reset your controller / vehicle and let you resume normal operation.

REPLACING THE PROPELLERS

The vehicle comes with 4 replacement propellers - 2 for each side. If either of the vehicle's propellers break off or become damaged,
replace them by following the steps below.
1. Use a coin (not included) to
pry off the old propeller.
3. Align the pin from the motor
with the hole in the propeller.
Make sure the molded letter
(L or R) on the propeller is
facing the pin.
Coin
2. Select the required propeller.
"L" is for left side
(BLUE PROPELLER).
"R" is for right side
(RED PROPELLER).
4. Use the coin to gently push
the propeller onto the pin.
The coin will prevent the pin
from poking your finger.
