Flying Your Model
Make small, gentle control movements
The model will react quickly to your commands. To avoid loss of control, ALWAYS move the
controls SLOWLY! If you ever feel you don’t have complete control of the helicopter, use the throttle
stick to maintain altitude and release the opposite stick. The model will return to level flight.
Avoid ground turbulence
Flying 2-3 feet above the ground will put you above any ground turbulence and deliver
more stable and controllable flight.
1. Find a suitable flying area.
The QR-1 is approved for both indoor and outdoor flight. The recommended minimum area
for indoor flight is a room that is 10 x 10 feet, with a ceiling height of 8 feet or more. Be aware
that the spinning rotor blades may damage furniture and wall coverings. When flying outdoors,
choose a wide open area away from crowds, buildings, power lines, or other hazards.
2. Switch the transmitter on.
Move the throttle stick to the full down position (A) (throttle
off) and then slide the power switch up to the ON position (B).
Observe the battery level indicator on the LCD;
five segments should be displayed. Replace the
batteries when only one segment is displayed.
Do not fly the model with low transmitter batteries
or loss of control may result.
The QR-1 does not have a power switch. The model is ON when the battery is
connected. To power the model off, disconnect the battery.
3. Power the model.
• Make certain the transmitter’s throttle stick is in the full down position (throttle off).
• Place the model on a smooth, flat surface and connect the battery to the model. The model is
now powered on.
• Tuck the connector and wires into the rear of the model to prevent contact with the rear rotors.
• Do not operate the controls or move the model. This will allow the model to confirm its neutral
position for stable flight.
• The transmitter will emit a tone to indicate that binding is complete. When the red LED on
the transmitter and the blue LEDs on the helicopter are all solid (not blinking), the helicopter
is ready to fly.
