And although the Chronos FP 110 is ready to fly right out the box, please take the time to read through this manual for more information on battery safety and charging, flight controls and more before proceeding with your first flight.
Required to Complete The Chronos FP 110 RTF includes everything needed to fly right out of the box. There’s nothing extra to buy or provide! Before the First Flight Checklist PLEASE NOTE: This checklist is NOT intended to replace the content included in this instruction manual.
And although the 500mAh 1-Cell/1S 3.7V 15C LiPo Battery (AZSH1255) included with the RTF version Chronos FP 110 is intended to be charged safely using the included 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo, 0.5A 110-240V AC Charger (AZSH1254) you must read the following safety instructions and warnings before handling, charging or using the LiPo battery.
LiPo cells should not be discharged to below 3.0V each under load. In the case of the 1-Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo battery used to power the Chronos FP 110, you will not want to allow the battery to fall below 3.0V during flight.

• When the battery is connected to the charger securely and with the proper polarity the LED indicator will glow solid red. The battery will be charging anytime the LED indicator is glowing solid red. • It will take approximately 1.0–1.5 hours to fully charge a mostly or fully discharged (not over-discharged) battery.
NOTE: The transmitter is equipped with a low voltage battery alarm. If at any time the audible alarm is on it will be necessary to replace the AA batteries with new ones. Transmitter Details The Chronos FP 110 includes an M4LPH Micro 4-Channel Helicopter Transmitter equipped with 2.4GHz technology, dual rates, digital trims and an LCD screen.
Proportional Mix Trimmer Knob The knob located near the top left-hand corner of the transmitter is used to adjust the amount of ‘mixing’ between the main and tail motors. Please see the ‘Proportional Mix Trimmer Knob’ section of this manual for more information. Dual Rate Button The button located near the top right-hand corner of the transmitter is used to toggle between the ‘Dual Rates’...
NOTE: All Chronos FP 110 helicopters are test-flown at the factory. And during each test flight the position/setting for the proportional mix trimmer knob is typically adjusted to provide very good trim and performance overall. However, it is possible for the position of the knob to change during handling of the transmitter so it may be necessary to adjust the position/setting of the knob to achieve the best possible trim and performance.
Flight Controls and Trimming In the event you are not familiar with the controls of the Chronos FP 110 please take the time to familiarize yourself with them as follows and before proceeding with your first flight: The left-hand stick on the transmitter controls both the throttle (climb/descend) and rudder (yaw left/right) channels.
Page 13
The throttle trim lever (located immediately to the right of the left-hand/throttle stick) can be used to adjust the throttle control/channel output value for a given stick position. For example, raising the throttle trim will make it possible to maintain altitude with the helicopter when the left-hand/throttle stick is in a lower position.
Page 14
Moving the left-hand stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the right about the axis of the main shaft. This is accomplished by increasing the speed/RPMs of the tail rotor. The rudder trim lever (located immediately below the left-hand stick) can be used to help keep the nose of the helicopter from turning (yawing) to the left or right when ‘hovering’...
Page 15
The right-hand stick controls both the elevator (pitch fore/aft) and aileron (roll) channels. Pushing the stick forward will pitch the nose of the helicopter downward, allowing it to be flown forward. This is accomplished by having the elevator (right-hand) servo pull the swashplate downward. Pulling the right-hand stick backward will pitch the tail of the helicopter downward, allowing it to be flown backward.
Page 16
Moving the right-hand stick to the left will roll the helicopter to the left, allowing it to be flown to the left. This is accomplished by having the aileron (left-hand) servo pull the swashplate downward. Moving the right-hand stick to the right will roll the helicopter to the right, allowing it to be flown to the right.
Control Unit Initialization, Arming and Motor Control Test The Chronos FP 110 is equipped with a compact and advanced 4-in-1 control unit. The control unit is a lightweight combination of 2.4GHz receiver, two electronic speed controls (ESCs), a mixer and gyro.

• Before each flight you must ALWAYS turn the transmitter on BEFORE connecting the LiPo flight battery to the control unit. Never connect the battery to the control unit before powering the transmitter on first. And after each flight you should always disconnect the battery from the control unit before turning the transmitter off.

• AFTER INSTALLING THE BATTERY IN THE MOUNT/HELICOPTER YOU MUST BE CAREFUL TO ENSURE PROPER POLARITY BEFORE CONNECTING IT TO THE 4-IN-1 CONTROL UNIT. By orienting/aligning the wire leads of the battery and control unit so they’re ‘red to red’ and ‘black to black’...
flight. After confirming the control unit has initialized and armed properly the Chronos FP 110 is ready to fly. However, please review the following information/sections of the manual BEFORE proceeding with your first flight.
Outdoor Flying Areas/Conditions When flying outdoors it’s best to fly the Chronos FP 110 at a local park, schoolyard or other area that’s large enough and free of people and obstructions. We also suggest flying over grass as it’s a much more ‘forgiving’...
Flying (General) Now that you’ve selected a suitable flying area you’re ready to fly! And when making your first flights we suggest following these steps: • Slowly raise the left-hand/throttle stick to increase the speed of the main rotor blades and until the model begins to lift off.
Page 23
• 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.
Hints and Tips • Although the Chronos FP 110 can be flown successfully in winds up to 5-7 mph we do not recommend that all pilots fly in the wind, especially first-time and low-time FP heli pilots. This is because more experience is typically required to maneuver/fly the helicopter successfully in the wing.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding/Linking Binding/linking is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) code of a single specific transmitter. These steps outline the binding/linking process of the M4LPH 4-Channel Helicopter Transmitter (AZSH1258) and receiver/control unit: •...
