In the following step do not connect the fl ight battery to the
ESC until you are instructed to do so. With the power lead
facing downward, place the fl ight battery onto the battery
tray and attach using the battery strap as shown.
FIND A SUITABLE LOCATION TO FLY
During your fi rst fl ights it is important to have light winds and
an assistant to keep an eye on things around you. Also, if
you are fl ying from grass, make sure it has been cut low as
this will allow the helicopter to slide around without catching.
Make sure there are no obstacles in your fl ying area to
distract you during fl ight.
TURN THE TRANSMITTER ON
Verify that the Throttle Hold and Idle Up functions are off and
slide the power switch up to turn the transmitter on.
MIX WARNING
If the transmitter is turned on with the Throttle Hold or Idle
Up function switched on, the screen will show "MIX" and a
warning will sound. Please turn the Throttle Hold and Idle Up
functions off to continue.
CHECK THE TRANSMITTER VOLTAGE
Once the transmitter has been turned on check the voltage
display on the transmitter. If the voltage is 9.6V or less you
must replace the old alkaline batteries with new ones before
fl ying again.
