Trim ControlsUNDERSTANDING HELICOPTER TRIM ADJUSTMENTSIf your helicopter’s nose rotates to the left or right uncontrollably, you may need to utilize the TRIM buttons. If your helicopter over-rotates CLOCKWISE (to the right), push and release the LEFT trim button repeatedly until the turning stops and proper flight is maintained. If your helicopter over-rotates COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (to the left), push and release the RIGHT trim button in the same manner until the problem is resolved. From time to time you may have to adjust the left and right trim to ensure the helicopter will fly straight and respond accurately to control commands. HELICOPTER DIAGRAMBelow is a basic list of features and parts on the helicopter.REMOTE CONTROL DIAGRAMBelow is a basic list of features on the infrared wireless remote control.Stabilizer barTail rotorLanding GearMain Rotor Blades• Verify that there are 4 “AAA” fresh batteries inside the remote control unit and the helicopter has been fully charged.• Make sure your helicopter is turned on and properly synced to your controller. (See “SYNC YOUR HELICOPTER” below)• Make sure to be in a large room with an open radius of at least 25 feet. Close all windows and doors, turn off fans and close air ducts or any other openings that may cause drafts in the room.• Make sure the room has no obstacles and the highest ceiling possible.IMPORTANT: YOUR AIR COMBAT HELICOPTER IS DESIGNED FOR INDOOR FLYING. NEVER FLY YOUR FLY YOUR HELICOPTER OUTDOORS.Your Air Combat™ utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless range.FOR ONE PERSON PLAY:1. Before starting, make sure that the power on both your controller and helicopter are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well. 2. Turn ON the helicopter and set it down on a flat surface. The 3 red LED indicators on each side of the body will slowly BLINK. This means your helicopter is searching for a controller to pair with3. Next, IMMEDIATELY Turn ON your controller and wait a moment. The 3 red LED indicators on each side of the body should rapidly flash and then settle into a “double-beat” sequence. When this happens you have properly synced your helicopter and you are ready to fly. Note: If you do not achieve a “double-beat” LED sequence then you are not synced and you must repeat steps 1-3 again. 4. SAFETY TRIGGER: After syncing, The Air Combat helicopter creates an auto safety trigger and will not fly until the “second pull” of the throttle. Simply pull the throttle down ONE TIME and release. You will see all the LED’s Become solid and stop flashing. This means that you have released the safety trigger and are ready to fly. Note the safety trigger mechanism is to protect the operator against an unprepared or accidental flight. FOR MULTI PERSON PLAY: 5. Before starting, make sure that the power on all Helicopters and Controllers are in the OFF position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.6. Each person will have to sync their helicopter individually at a different time to avoid interference. Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure to keep away from other people while also making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time. 7. IMPORTANT: After syncing a players helicopter, Both the helicopter and the controller should be left ON until all players have individually synced their helicopters. 8. Should there be a mistake or interference, all players must turn off their controllers and helicopters and start the process all over again. IMPORTANT: Remember each player must sync there helicopter one at a time and leave it on, while un-synced helicopters are powered off. Before Syncing, your Throttle should always be set to ZERO (All the way down). However, to prevent damage and injury, your helicopter has been fitted with a Safety Mechanism. See “Safety Trigger above for further information.FLYING TIPS• Operate the helicopter in a wide, indoor space. You should allow at least a 25-foot radius. The helicopter is designed for INDOOR USE ONLY. • Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.• If you are flying the helicopter with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the helicopter in zero wind conditions. Close all open doors or windows, and turn off any nearby fans. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the helicopter.SYNCING YOUR HELICOPTER PREPARING FOR FLIGHT 3 4If over rotates to the right...

While you’re learning to fly your helicopter, it is best to start with a large room until you get used to the basic controls. INTERACTIVE BATTLE MODESGet ready for aerial combat missions with your friends–or “enemies” _(Note Requires additional Air Combat helicopter.)PREPARATION FOR MISSION:1. Make sure all battling helicopters are fully charged, individually synced and ready to fly (refer to “sync your helicopter” on page 4).READY, AIM, FIRE!1. While your helicopter’s in flight, aim the front of your helicopter towards the cockpit of your opponent’s helicopter and press one of the FIRE buttons on your controller.2. If you score a hit, your enemy’s controller will vibrate, the helicopter will lose one of his tail lights and will quickly turn 180 degrees to defend it’s cockpit from the next strike. THREE STRIKES YOUR OUT!3. On the third direct hit, your opponent’s helicopter tail lights will simultaneously flash red and control of their copter will be lost. The copter will gradually descend safely to the ground. Mission accomplished! 4. After 10 seconds the downed helicopter will recover (reset) and will be ready for the next dogfight. Pull the trigger back or release to increase or decrease the speed of the main rotor and the helicopter will rise up or descend accordingly.Tilt the controller down and forward and the helicopter will move forward.Tilt the controller left and the helicopter will turn left.Tilt the controller right and the helicopter will turn right.Tilt the controller up and back and the helicopter will move backward.One handed free form flight2 handed added stability flightSPEED CONTROLS: Your air combat helicopter has the capability to operate in a beginner (slower) and advanced (faster) Speed mode. Simply select your speed mode while in flight by depressing the “SLOW” or “FAST” speed mode buttons (See REMOTE CONTROL Diagram).TIP: You test to see whether you are in fast or slow speed mode by first hovering your helicopter and then turning right and left. HELICOPTER WARNING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONSThe helicopter blades revolve at high speeds and can cause damage to the user, spectators, and animals. Stand away from the helicopter to reduce the risk of getting into the flight path. Warn spectators that you will be flying your helicopter so that they are aware of its position. Before flight, inspect the rotor blades to make certain that the blades are securely fastened to the helicopter.WARNINGS• Choking/Cutting Hazard. Small Parts/Sharp Rotor Blades.• Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing away from the propeller when the power switch is turned to the ON position.• Turn off the transmitter and helicopter power switches when not in use.• The charging cable is for charging the helicopter’s Li-poly battery. Do not use it to charge any other battery.• New alkaline batteries are recommended for maximum performance.• Parental supervision recommended when flying the helicopter.
CONTENTS:(1) 1 upper propeller blade x 1 (3) 4 connecting rods x 4(2) 1 bottom propeller blade x 1 (4) 4 screws x 4 Air Combat PROPELLER SYSTEMYour Air Combat propeller system is a precision instrument that may need repair or replacement from time to time for optimal flight function. Crash landing from high-speed aerial flights may cause damage to your Air Combat propeller or propeller connecting rods. TROUBLESHOOTING:If your Air Combat loses its ability to fly correctly, please inspect the propeller system carefully for the following two common issues:1. Replacing Connecting Rod: The connecting rod is a small “handcuff” style device that stabilizes the “upper” propellers. There is one connecting rod on the upper propeller. Please see Diagram 1. If a connecting rod is broken or missing simply replace it by “peeling” off the existing broken unit and replacing it with a new one. You may have to use slight pressure when reattaching both ends of the new connecting rod. Make sure that the new connecting rod is secured and locked in place. See Diagram 2. For changing connecting rod, make sure there is no damage to the actual blade or arm that holds the connecting rod in place. If there is you must replace the entire blade system.2. Replacing Upper and Bottom Propeller: The propeller is subject to damage as you learn to properly fly and control your Air Combat. If after a crash your helicopter has loss of control or flies erratically you should carefully inspect your entire propeller system for any sign of damage. Most common are: cracked or chipped blade, broken “connecting rod”, frozen balance bar (this is when the balancing bar and blade are jammed and can not move freely up and down).
