If you do not adhere to this sequence, i.e. if the receiver is switched on at any time when
the associated transmitter is "OFF", then the receiver may respond to other transmitters,
interference signals etc., and the motors could burst into life.
Before every fl ight check that the model's controls operate correctly, and at range (approx. 6
m). This simply means walking that distance from the model and checking that all the controls
work properly.
Warning: never fl y the model in a hall with fan-assisted air-conditioning; this has the same ef-
fect as quite a strong wind, and could easily push the model out of transmitter range and allow
it to go out of control.
Flight time: with a fully charged battery and fl at calm (indoor) conditions the helicopter will fl y
for between fi ve and six minutes.
As soon as you notice that the model is unwilling to take off and climb, it is time to recharge the
fl ight battery.
Here we go!
1. Set the channel select switch on the transmitter to channel A, B or C as required.
2. Switch the transmitter on, press the throttle stick all the way down: the LED lights up solid
orange.
3. First the throttle stick must be pushed to the maximium position, then to the lowest position.
Switch the helicopter on (ON): after approx. 5 seconds the helicopter is ready to fl y - the
orange LED next to the charging socket lits constantly.
4. Keep the blue dome of the transmitter pointing at the helicopter at all times.
5. Place the model on a fl at fl oor, and check once more that there are no people, animals or
other obstacles close by.
6. Slowly move the throttle stick forward: the helicopter lifts off and climbs.
7. If necessary, turn the trim knob to trim the helicopter, then use the sticks to control the mo-
del.
The fi rst step in getting maximum fun out of the Nano Star 3 Gyro Helicopter is to establish a
stable, smooth hover. After a little practice the multi-channel control system can be used to fl y
the model in a similar manner to a "proper" model helicopter:
When the machine reaches the desired altitude, hold the left-hand stick (climb / descent) as still
as possible in the position where the helicopter neither climbs nor descends. If the model starts
turning in either direction, use the right-hand stick to counteract the movement; in this way you
