Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while fl ying in any mode, push and
hold the Bind/Panic Switch and move the control sticks to
their neutral position. SAFE technology will immediately
return the aircraft to an upright level attitude, if the aircraft
is at a suffi cient height with no obstacles in its path.
Return the collective stick to 50% and release the Panic
Switch to turn off Panic Recovery and return to the current
fl ight mode.

First Flight Preparation

• Remove and inspect contents
• Begin charging the fl ight battery
• Program your computer transmitter (BNF)
• Install the fl ight battery in the helicopter
(once it has been fully charged)
• Bind your transmitter (BNF)
• Familiarize yourself with the controls
• Find a suitable area for fl ying

Flying the Nano CPS

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a
location to fl y your aircraft.
We recommend fl ying your aircraft outside in calm winds
or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid fl ying near
houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be
careful to avoid fl ying in areas where there are many
people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fi elds.
It is best to fl y from a smooth fl at surface as this will allow
the model to slide without tipping over. Keep the helicopter
approximately 2 ft (600mm) above the ground. Keep the
tail pointed toward you during initial fl ights to keep the
control orientation consistent. Releasing the stick in Begin-
ner Mode will allow the helicopter to level itself and acti-
vating the Panic Recovery button will level the helicopter
quickly. If you become disoriented while in Beginner Mode,
slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly.
During initial fl ights, only attempt takeoff, landing and
hovering in one spot.
Takeoff
Place the model onto a fl at, level surface free of
obstacles and walk back 30 feet (10 meters). Slowly
increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft.
(600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model
fl ies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin fl ying
the model.
Hovering
Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold
the helicopter in one spot. If fl ying in calm winds, the
model should require almost no corrective inputs. After
moving the cyclic stick and returning it to center the
NOTICE: Before releasing the panic switch, make
sure the collective stick has been returned to the 50%
position. Once the panic switch has been released, full
negative collective becomes available, which could
cause the Nano CPS to descend rapidly.
• This mode is intended to provide the pilot with the
confi dence to continue to improve their fl ight skills.
• Move the collective stick to 50% and return all other
transmitter controls to neutral for the quickest recovery.
• Once the model has reached a level upright attitude the
negative collective is reduced preventing the user from
pushing the model into the ground.

Flying Checklist

❏ Always turn the transmitter on fi rst
❏ Plug the fl ight battery into the lead from the ESC
❏ Allow the receiver and ESC to initialize and arm properly
❏ Fly the model
❏ Land the model
❏ Unplug the fl ight battery from the ESC
❏ Always turn the transmitter off last
model should level itself. The model may continue to
move due to inertia. Move the cycle stick in the opposite
direction to stop the movement.
After you become comfortable hovering, you can prog-
ress into fl ying the model to different locations, keeping
the tail pointed towards you at all times. You can also
ascend and descend using the throttle stick. Once you're
comfortable with these maneuvers, you can attempt
fl ying with the tail in different orientations. It is important
to keep in mind that the fl ight control inputs will rotate
with the helicopter, so always try to picture the control
inputs relative to the nose of the helicopter. For example,
forward will always drop the nose of the helicopter.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery
voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and
the red LED on the ESC fl ashes, land the aircraft immedi-
ately and recharge the fl ight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge
during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.
Landing
To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level
hover. After landing, disconnect and remove the battery
from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge.
Fully charge your battery before storing it. During stor-
age, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell.
