If this is the first test flight, or a test flight following repairs, you should also center the rudder,
aileron and elevator trims.
Set throttle stick to lowest position.

After confirming that the transmitter has been turned on and that the LED is glowing solid RED, it is
now safe to connect the flight battery to the 5-in-1 unit.
❏ With the transmitter turned on and the LED glowing solid BLUE, it is now safe to connect the
flight battery to the 5-in-1 unit.
❏ With battery power applied to the 5-in-1 unit, the status indicator LED should glow solid RED
within a few seconds.
Note: I t is extremely important that you do not move, sway or pretend to fly the helicopter once the
flight battery is connected because the initialization process and calibration of the gyro has
begun. If you do move the helicopter before the LED is solid RED, disconnect the flight battery
from the 5-in-1 unit and repeat the initialization process.
❏ When the status LED becomes solid RED, the control unit is initialized and ready for flight. Also,
as long as you set the throttle stick and trim to the correct positions during the initialization
process, the ESCs/motors will now be armed. Use caution as both rotor blades will now spin with
throttle stick input.
Note: If the status LED does not become solid RED, please review the following:
• I f after BLUE status LED becomes solid, but you have no control of the motors, you have a positive
Radio Frequency (RF) link between the transmitter and receiver, but the throttle stick and throttle trim
may not be set to the correct positions. Check that the throttle stick is in the lowest possible position,
and the throttle trim is set to the middle or a lower than the middle position. If you now have control
of the motors, proceed to the next step of the checklist.
• I f RED status LED is off completely, you do not have a positive RF link between the transmitter and
receiver. Check that the transmitter has been powered on and the LED indicator on the transmitter
is glowing solid RED. If the transmitter is powered on and functioning properly, disconnect the flight
battery from the 5-in-1 unit, then reconnect it. The 5-in-1 unit should initialize and arm properly.
Once you place the helicopter in a safe area, free of obstructions, and are clear of the rotor blades, you
can safely power up the model to check for proper operation of the motors.
A dvance the throttle stick upward slowly, just until both rotor blades begin to spin. DO NOT attempt to
fly the helicopter at this time. Note the direction each of the rotor blades spins. When viewed from the
top, the upper main rotor blades should spin counterclockwise and the lower main rotor blades should
spin clockwise. If either set of rotor blades is operating in the wrong direction, disconnect the battery
and reverse the polarity of the corresponding motor's input power leads.
After confirming the rotor blades rotate in the correct direction, confirm that both rotor blades respond
properly to rudder control inputs.
