TROUBLESHOOTING HOW TO CHANGE THE BLADES All helicopters have two blades that spin clockwise and two blades that spin counter-clockwise. Make sure to place the blades on the correct axis or they will not spin correctly and the helicopter will not lift. Each blade is marked with A or B.
FLY AWAYS HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS To prevent “fly-away” situations (where helicopters seem to fly away out of control) it is important to first test and practice within close range before letting the helicopter fly too far away. Each helicopter is designed to turn off the engines if the radio signal is lost. It is important to know and test the range of your helicopter before flying.
