Do not use incompatible components or make modifications beyond the instructions provided by Roban Model Limited. The manual contains critical information regarding safety, operation, and maintenance, and it is essential to follow all instructions and warnings carefully to avoid injury, property damage, or worse.
Page 10: In-Flight Safety
In-Flight Safety • Keep control of the helicopter at all times. Even when using assisted flight modes (such as GPS or Return to Home), keep your hands on the transmitter and remain aware of the helicopter’s position. • Maintain a safe altitude. Fly at an altitude that ensures safe separation from obstacles, especially during takeoff and landing. Be ready to manually adjust the throttle if the helicopter suddenly loses altitude.

Page 16: Installation Of Rotor Blades
Installation of rotor blades Properly install the rotor blades using the preinstalled screws and lock nuts, following the illustration for the correct rotational direction. Remove the screws, insert the blades and install the blades. Avoid overtightening the screws, as the blades should not be too loose in the grips, but also be easily movable by hand inside the grips.

Velcro by tying it down with a bit of tension. The surface of the tray is rough, providing enough grip to prevent it from moving if tied down properly. © 2024 Roban All Rights Reserved.
Page 18: Center Of Gravity
Center of gravity Install the battery in the center of gravity as shown. Loosen the Velcro strap and move the battery forward of aft until, with the canopy on, the helicopter is balanced, e.g. the main blades are perpendicular to the horizon. Lift the helicopter on the rotor cap and let it hang freely and adjust until the main blades are level! Mark the position with a sharpie for your convenience when you exchange batteries on the battery tray.
Page 19: Operation/Use
5 hours, depending on the battery's charge level. Please only use chargers specifically designed for RC batteries with balance port (white plug) connectors under any circumstance. For safe charging, it is recommended to use a BAT-SAFE charging enclosure. © 2024 Roban All Rights Reserved.
Page 20: Switching The Equipment On And Off
Switching the equipment on and off Turn on the Transmitter To power on the transmitter, insert 4 AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment at the back. Next, press and hold both power buttons simultaneously for two seconds to switch it on, and then release the buttons. In case you receive a warning message regarding the switches, make sure to flip all four switches on the radio into the top position before switching on the transmitter to avoid any startup issues.

(3D) position, you can actually start flying the machine, if you are a seasoned pilot. But let’s get started in the GPS mode. So please make sure the mode switch is in the up (GPS) position. If indoors, you won’t be able to take off in GPS mode. © 2024 Roban All Rights Reserved.
Page 22: Getting Ready To Fly In Gps Mode
Getting ready to fly in GPS mode Turn on the radio control with all levers in the up position. Dial the motor switch A in the down (STOP) position and leave the mode switch in the up (GPS mode) position. With the controller/helicopter being powered up already from the prior step, and the helicopter being indoors without a GPS signal, the LED will double flash green or blue.
Page 24: Fly The Helicopter
Fly the Helicopter Once the main rotor is idling at constant speed (the rotor sound pitch doesn’t rise anymore), gently lift the helicopter by pushing the lever upwards as shown, making sure to lift it to a height of at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clearance for safe hovering and maintaining position.
Page 26: B-206 Water Tank Operation
B-206 Water Tank Operation The B-206 is equipped with fully working water tank that includes a water pump. Before powering on the helicopter, fill the water tank with tap water until full. Do not seal the filling nozzle, air needs to enter freely when the pump is active, or the tank will get deformed. Once airborne, you can activate the pump by flipping Switch B to the down (PUMP) position.
Page 27: Gps Near Ground Interference
Instructions for using this timer are provided in the radio control section of this manual. It is important to monitor the flight time to avoid activating the automatic landing feature triggered by low battery voltage. © 2024 Roban All Rights Reserved.
Page 28: Landing The Helicopter
Landing the Helicopter When you are ready to land, guide the helicopter to a suitable flat area, such as your original take-off spot, using the flight controls. Gradually lower the helicopter until the landing gear touches the ground. Once the helicopter has landed, immediately shut off the motors by flipping Switch A to the "Motor Off"...

Page 30: Angle Mode
ANGLE Mode In angle mode, the helicopter does not use GPS to stay in one place, but stabilizes the helicopter by returning to a level attitude on the roll and pitch axis if you let go of the control sticks. But it doesn’t control the position or height like in GPS mode. In Angle Mode, the helicopter may drif in position and change its altitude, and you will need to control its movement manually.

Blue, flashing GPS signal acquired, Manual/Angle mode ready, not armed GPS Sensor The GPS sensor is a U-blox M10N unit with an onboard magnetometer, which is the only magnetometer used in the system. It is installed in the tail boom to avoid magnetic interference from the main motor. For optimal performance, ensure the antenna is level and properly aligned, with the plug facing toward the nose of the aircraft.

Swash Servos designation and wiring The swashplate servos are connected to the ports 1-3 of the controller. The servos are HV (7.4Vdc) servos, which are powered by the dual ESC connected on port Ch8.
Page 37: Led Light System
The LED controller can be controlled by the radio control. The right-hand side switch on the back side of the radio can be used to cycle through 8 different patterns. The position light pattern always starts on the same pattern mode on power up. The controller is separate from the main controller and can be controlled immediately. © 2024 Roban All Rights Reserved.
Page 38: Troubleshooting, Support And Warranty
Troubleshooting, Support and Warranty Adjusting the controller The controller is based on the ArduCopter Heli open-source software. To modify the parameters, you can use the APM Mission Planner, which is available for iOS, Windows, and Linux. It connects via USB (or optionally through a wireless WiFi connection).
