FLYING TIPS
• It is recommended that you operate the Zipp Nanocopter in a wide space. The ideal space should
have a 200 foot radius.
• Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.
• If you are flying the Zipp Nanocopter with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.
• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the Zipp Nanocopter in zero wind
conditions. Wind can greatly affect the performance of the Zipp Nanocopter.
Important! When syncing your Zipp Nano copter with the controller always make sure that the
copter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This
insures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings.
Your
Zipp™
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 Zipp Nanocopter are in the OFF
position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.
2. Turn ON the Zipp Nanocopter and set it down on a flat surface. The red LED indicators inside the
Zipp Nanocopter body should flash.
3. ON the remote , pull the throttle all the way down, then turn ON your remote. The remote will beep
in 3-5 seconds. When you hear a long beep, the red LED light should turn on. This indicates that your
Zipp Nanocopter and remote have successfully synced. Should this not happen, repeat all steps again.
For Multi Person Play:
4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all Zipp Nanocopters and Controllers are in the OFF
position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.
5. Each person will have to sync their Zipp Nanocopter 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.
6.
After syncing a players Zipp Nanocopter, it should be left ON until all players have synced their Zipp
Nanocopters.
7. Should there be a mistake/interference, all players must turn off their controllers and Zipp
Nanocopters and start the process all over again.
