ESTE4603 v1.2
Your Copperhead helicopter has two fl ight modes: a basic mode for learning and another for more advanced fl ying. After
you have mastered basic fl ight commands and can comfortably fl y your helicopter in all directions and altitudes, you can
select the “ADVANCED FLIGHT MODE” by pushing the button on the lower right hand of the controller. The helicopter’s
tail rotor will become more responsive to your FORWARD and BACKWARD commands. To return to the basic mode,
simply push the “ADVANCED FLIGHT MODE” button again.
