Color LED on charger showing battery power and charging status Red LED is ON: Power switch in "ON" position. Arrow mark side up! Red LED Dim: The battery voltage is low. 3) Ensure charger is ON- charging will start automatically. 4) Let the charger run its charge cycle. When charge is finished the green LED goes out. Green LED is Flashing: The helicopter is charging. Green LED is OFF: The helicopter is fully charged. GET IN THE AIR FAST!!! THE FIREFLY IS PARTIALLY CHARGED SO YOU CAN FLY IMMEDIATELY OUT OF THE BOX. CHARGE TIME VARIES BASED ON HELICOPTER AND CHARGER BATTERY CONDITIONS. TYPICALLY AFTER A 7 MINUTE FLIGHT THE HELICOPTER WILL NEED A 30 MINUTE CHARGE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO WAIT FOR THE CHARGE TO BE COMPLETE TO FLY, SHORTER CHARGE TIMES = SHORTER FLIGHT TIMES. YOU CAN POWER THE CHARGER BY USING AC CURRENT IF YOU SUPPLY YOUR OWN AC ADAPTER AND PLUG IT INTO THE COAXIAL INPUT JACK ON THE SIDE OF THE CHARGER. THE ADAPTER SHOULD RATED WITH DC 7.5V, 450mA OUTPUT AND CENTRAL PIN POSITIVE. THE CHARGER OPERATION AND CHARGE TIME WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED. Interrupting the charge before the charge cycle is completed will not damage the battery, however for the longest flight times please let the charger finish its charge cycle. FLYING TIPS! Take off - To take off, the rotors need to spin up to speed to produce lift. For great take offs use the following steps. 1) Push the UP/DOWN throttle completely to UP and watch the helicopter leap off the ground. 2) Once off the ground, gently reduce the throttle so that the helicopter is at the desired height above the ground. Altitude Control - the throttle control is a digital proportional system, therefore fine movement of the throttle stick will produce minor changes in the helicopter altitude. Take time to practice controlling the altitude and getting accustomed to the throttle sensitivity. Note: The helicopter will always fly forward based on its design. Trimming - Once flying at the desired height the helicopter may be spinning under the rotors instead of holding a heading. Adjust the trim control so that the helicopter body does not spin: Turn the trim control left if the body is spinning right (Clockwise)- Turn the trim control right if the body is spinning left (Counter Clockwise). Note: many factors affect the trim of the helicopter such as battery condition, throttle setting and damage to the rotors. It may be required to adjust the trim control more than once during a flight - once trimmed minor corrections can be managed using the steering control. See TROUBLESHOOTING section for more information. Direction control - Direction control convention is based as if you were sitting in the pilot's seat of the helicopter. The LEFT/RIGHT stick on the transmitter controls the steering of the helicopter. Pushing the stick left results in a left turn. Pushing the stick right results in a right turn. Control Reversal- When the helicopter is flying towards you the steering will appear to reverse. PILOT INFORMATION NOTICE! The FireFly is an indoor helicopter only. The technology that makes the helicopter stable and easy to fly will prevent you from flying in winds! GETTING TO KNOW THE BLADERUNNER HELICOPTER Basic Functions: On / Off Switch - turns the transmitter on and off. LED - turns on when the transmitter is on. Antenna - Fully extend to ensure the greatest control range. ANTENNA Transmitter Function: LEFT/RIGHT - controls left/right steering direction of the helicopter. Move the Stick Left/Right -helicopter turns to the left/right. UP/DOWN LEFT/ RIGHT LED ON/OFF The transmitter is a digital proportional radio, therefore small movements in the control stick produce precise control. UP/DOWN - controls the rotor speed and vertical movement of the helicopter. The further you push UP, the higher the helicopter will fly. Pre-Flight Checklist: 1) Extend transmitter antenna. 2) Turn on transmitter. 3) Turn helicopter on. 4) Set helicopter on a horizontal flat surface for the best take off. 5) Push UP/DOWN completely to UP, then back to DOWN to initialize speed control. 6) Gently increase the UP/DOWN throttle to ensure that the rotors start spinning.Now that you know your helicopter is functioning as it shouldRELAX! -DO NOT TAKE OFF! Be sure to read the next section on "FIRST FLIGHTTRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER" before your first flight! *The radio control range is up to 10M, and depends on interference at the operation environment. FIRST FLIGHT-TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER Your helicopter must be "trimmed" to stop unwanted rotation. First, using the "UP" control stick, simply raise the helicopter to eye level and turn the trim control knob (as shown) on the transmitter unit either left or right till the helicopter stops spinning. This should be done everytime you fly your helicopter after charging. Trim setting will vary as the helicopter battery drains. Re-adjust trim during flight as required. TRIM CONTROL KNOB TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUE: CAUSE: CORRECTIVE ACTION: 1) Helicopter not turned on. 2) Battery is not charged. 3) Helicopter was not set to OFF during charging. 4) Rotors locked for overload protection. 1) Transmitter is not turned ON. 2) Speed control is not initialized . 3) Battery is low. 1) Turn helicopter on. 2) Ensure helicopter is off and charge battery. 3) Ensure batteries are fresh. 4) Adjust helicopter's on/off switch to OFF, then switch on again. 1) Turn transmitter on. 2) Push UP/DOWN completely to UP, then back to DOWN to initialize speed control. 3) Ensure helicopter is OFF and charge battery. Helicopter is flying too high. Helicopter is flying too low. 1) You need to reduce the throttle. 1) Needs more power/throttle. 2) The battery in the helicopter is low. 3) The batteries in the charger are drained. Helicopter doesn't move fast enough. 1) The helicopter is designed with slow foward movment. 1) Move the throttle stick down. 1) Move the throttle stick up. 2) Ensure the helicopter is OFF and charge the battery. 3) Remove batteries from charger & replace with new batteries and charge the helicopter again. 1) No corrective action required. Helicopter always turns. 1) Trim control is not set correctly. 2) The rotor blades have sustained damage / or wear from use: a. Helicopter spins counter clockwise. b. Helicopter spins clockwise. Helicopter fails to take off. 1) Realign with equal spacing between the pair of main gears. 1) One or both of the main drive gears (A, B) are 2) Replace locking pin as shown. misaligned with the upper and lower rotors. 2) Locking pin under the body has detached from the 3) Replace the rubber stopper (part separately available inside Replacement Parts Kit). drive shaft. 3) The rubber stopper on the top of the drive shaft has detached. Helicopter will not start, LED on helicopter is OFF. Helicopter will not start, LED on helicopter is ON. 1) Adjust the trim control knob.See the FLYING TIPS section. 2) Gently bend more curvature into the blades. a. Adjust the top rotor blades. b. Adjust the bottom rotor blades.
