will soon achieve a steady hover. Once you have learned the skill of keeping the Nano Star 3
Gyro hovering at a particular height, without rotating, you can deliberately alter the orientation
of the fuselage (and therefore the possible direction of fl ight) using the direction control (right
stick). The forward / back control (right stick again) is used to accelerate or brake the model in
this direction; the helicopter is even capable of fl ying slowly backwards. By combining all the
stick functions the model can be controlled in a similar manner to a 'real' helicopter.
7. Landing, terminating fl ight operations
The Nano Star 3 Gyro can be landed simply by gradually moving the left-hand stick back to-
wards you. After the landing the main switch on the model must fi rst be moved to the "OFF"
position, and only then the transmitter can be switched off.
Note: towards the end of a fl ight the model will become increasingly unstable due to the decli-
ning battery voltage. When this happens you must land the model and recharge the battery.
Fault-fi nding
• After the initial charge you may fi nd that the fl ight battery does not give its full capacity, resul-
ting in reduced fl ight times. The LiPo pack only reaches its full performance after a few
charge / discharge cycles.
After a fl ying session
• At the end of a fl ying session the model should be replaced in its original packaging to avoid
the danger of accidentally bending or distorting the rotors.
• If you know you will not be fl ying the helicopter for a long period, ensure that the model is
switched off, and remove the dry cells from the transmitter.
8. Care and maintenance
• Clean the model carefully after every fl ying session.
• The model and the remote control system components should only be cleaned using suita-
ble materials.
Please ask your local model shop for advice on this.
9. Assembly (and repair instructions)
If you have to use solvent-based adhesives, use them only in a well-ventilated room. Take was-
te adhesives and paints to your nearest toxic waste collection point. An unobstructed work area
of generous size is very helpful for all types of modelling activity.
Do not fl y the model outdoors if there is any wind.
We wish you loads of fun and pleasure fl ying your Nano Star 3 Gyro!

The motors become quite hot during a
fl ight, and remain so afterwards. Don't
touch the motors until they have had
a chance to cool down to room tem-
perature.
