Congratulations on your purchase of Century Helicopter Product’s latest version of our Swift series RC helicopter model. The Swift helicopter is not only ideal for beginners new to the hobby, but also for the intermediate and right on through to the expert and 3D flyers. A 6 channel helicopter radio is recommended as the bare minimum to take advantage of the helicopter programming included in these radios. - Page 3 When constructing a battery pack, always use cells of the same capacity (mAh) DO NOT store fully charged or discharged batteries in your helicopter. ** Century Helicopter Products will not be liable for any damages that may occur to your helicopter due to any misuse or mishandling as explained above.

Century produces a full spectrum of accessories and tools to assemble your helicopter. The Swift is a mechanical cyclic collective pitch mixing type helicopter requiring a standard helicopter radio (the helicopter radio does not require eCCPM type mixing for this model).
