When the helicopter is properly trimmed, maintain a stable hover and practice using the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to get a feel for how the helicopter responds to various control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible to prevent over‐ controlling the helicopter. Continue to practice until you’re comfortable hovering the helicopter at approximately 20–24 inches of altitude. Then you can transition to hovering the helicopter at higher altitudes of approximately 3–4 feet (0.9–1.2 meters). If at any time during flight you feel like the helicopter is drifting out of/beyond your control, simply release all of the controls except for throttle. The throttle will be needed to maintain altitude, but due to the inherent stability of the self‐stabilizing rotor head design, releasing all of the other controls will allow the helicopter to return to a stable hover on its own (given enough time and space). IN THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT OF A CRASH OR ROTOR BLADE STRIKE, NO MATTER HOW MAJOR OR MINOR, YOU MUST LOWER THE THROTTLE STICK TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE POSITION AND THE THROTTLE TRIM TO THE MIDDLE/CENTERED POSITION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ESCS OF THE CONTROL UNIT. If you do not lower the throttle stick to the lowest possible position and trim to the middle/centered position in the event of a crash/rotor blade strike it can result in damage to the ESCs of the control unit which may require replacement of the control unit. NOTE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty. Once you’ve gained the experience and confidence in hovering your helicopter you can attempt more advanced maneuvers including: Forward Flight Skidding Takeoffs Backward Flight Skidding Landings Pirouettes Spot Landings ...
