5. ARM YOUR HELICOPTER FOR FLIGHT
Place the model on a level surface with the blue LED facing
you (nose out). Move the throttle stick to the full down position
(throttle off). The helicopter will not arm unless the throttle
stick is in the down position (A). Push in and click the throttle
stick to arm the flight system. The transmitter will emit a tone
indicating that the helicopter is armed and ready to fly (B).
Note: When the throttle stick is left idle for 5 seconds
or the helicopter detects an impact, the helicopter will
automatically disarm.
6. FLY YOUR HELICOPTER
Gently push the throttle stick forward until the model begins to lift off. Reduce throttle to maintain a hover when the
model is at least 3 feet (1 meter) off the ground. This height will keep the model away from ground turbulence for
more stable flight. Use gradual inputs until you become familiar with the controls.

The helicopter has 2-way communication with the transmitter and will alert you when the battery level is low. When the battery is nearly
discharged (approximately 30 seconds before low voltage cutoff), the transmitter will emit a tone every 5 seconds. During this time, fly
the helicopter to a safe location and land it. In the last 5 seconds, the transmitter will emit the tone continuously. WARNING: To prevent
permanent damage to your battery pack, ALWAYS disconnect the battery whenever the helicopter is not in use.
