Throttle Hold

Throttle hold is used to prevent the motor from powering on
inadvertently. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time you
need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.

Stunt Mode

Stunt Mode (Flight Mode 1 or 2) allows the helicopter to fl y
inverted and perform aerobatics. The throttle runs continuously
when Stunt Mode is ON, regardless of throttle stick position.

Control Tests

Ensure the throttle hold is ON when doing the direction
control tests. Test the controls prior to the fi rst fl ight to
ensure the servos, linkages and parts operate correctly.
