IV. RECHARGING THE VEHICLE
Your vehicle is powered by a NiMH battery that is permanently installed. The vehicle must be
recharged with the Field Charger before using. To recharge, first make sure you have fully
charged the Field Charger as shown in Section III. Then follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the Field Charger’s vehicle recharge cord into the vehicle’s power connector as shown.
The plug is designed to fit one way only.
3. Press and hold the CHARGE button on the Field Charger until the green LED charge indicator
lights up, showing that the battery is being charged.
NOTE: if the RED indicator comes on or flashes (or if both the green and red indicators flash,
refer to “LED Functions” below.
4. The green LED charge indicator will glow steadily, showing that the battery is being charged.
5. The charging process takes about 4 minutes. When the green LED charge indicator flashes,
the charging cycle is complete. The Field Charger will shut off automatically after charging.
7. Disconnect the vehicle recharge cord from the vehicle. The vehicle cannot be operated while
connected to the Field Charger.
8. Replace the vehicle recharge cord in the Field Charger’s storage groove.
LED Functions
When the CHARGE button is pressed, the Field Charger’s two LED charge indicators will provide
information about the status of the Field Charger and the charging process:
• Green LED glowing steadily: charging normally.
• Green LED flashing: charging is complete.
• Red LED glowing steadily: Field Charger must be recharged (not enough power to recharge
vehicle).
• Red LED flashing: Vehicle’s NiMH battery temperature is too high (allow vehicle to cool down
before attempting to recharge).
• Red AND green LEDs flashing: The charger is not properly connected to the vehicle. First make
sure that the vehicle switch is in the OFF position. If the red and green indicators still flash, then
the vehicle’s NiMH battery temperature is too low for charging (allow vehicle to warm up to
normal operating temperature).
NOTE: the NiMH battery inside your vehicle must be conditioned in order to deliver
maximum flight time. Your first few flights may be shorter, but flight time will increase with
use.
[!] Do not attempt to recharge the vehicle until it’s fully discharged. Additional charging will not
increase running time, and may permanently damage the vehicle’s NiMH battery.
[!] Always hold the connectors when disconnecting the vehicle recharge cord. NEVER pull the
cord to disconnect; this may cause it to break.
[!] Your vehicle and Field Charger may not work their best in overly cold or overly hot conditions.
The suggested temperature range for operation is between 40°F/4°C and 95°F/35°C.
NOTE: DO NOT charge the vehicle until just before flying. If the vehicle is left in a charged
condition for a time before operating, it may not be able to fly (the rotor will turn, but the vehicle
will not lift off). If this happens, you will need to discharge the vehicle battery and then recharge it.
It’s a quick and simple process.
a. Make sure to follow all the safety information in this manual during the discharge/recharge
process. In particular, make sure to maintain the minimum 10’/3m distance from the vehicle, and
make sure weather conditions are calm and clear.
b. With the transmitter OFF, turn the vehicle ON. Set the vehicle upright on the ground. Make
sure the rotor blades are approximately 180° apart.
c. Turn the transmitter ON. Slowly push the transmitter control stick up, just until the rotor begins
to spin. Adjust the control stick until the rotor is spinning slowly and steadily. Keep the rotor
spinning (you may need to adjust the control stick position to maintain rotor speed) until it slows
down noticeably. At that point the vehicle battery will be discharged. Push the control stick all the
way down to activate the stop feature.
[!] If the vehicle starts to lift off during the discharge process, IMMEDIATELY push the control
stick all the way down to activate the stop feature.
d. Turn the transmitter OFF, then turn the vehicle OFF.
e. Recharge the vehicle battery as described in Section IV. You should now be able to fly your
vehicle normally (please see Sections VI and VII).
V. TRANSMITTER CONTROL
Your transmitter features a joystick flight control system that’s easy to use – and challenging to
master.
[!] Before operating your vehicle for the first time, familiarize yourself with the “feel” of the control
stick (with the transmitter turned OFF). Move it through its range of motion, up and down. That
way you’ll know how far to push down to activate the stop feature (see Number 3 below).
1. Normal position
This is the normal position of the control stick when released. This position has 2 functions:
• When you first turn on the transmitter, this position is standby mode. The transmitter must be in
standby mode to begin operation.
• When you’re flying (please see Section VII for details), this position activates the vehicle’s
automatic-descent feature. If you release the stick during flight, the vehicle’s motor will
automatically switch to a controlled-descent speed to bring the vehicle down easily.
2. Operation zone
This range of the control stick’s travel is used for takeoff, ascent and descent. The control stick’s
travel is roughly proportional to the speed of the vehicle’s motor: push up for faster rotor speeds,
and ease off for slower rotor speeds.
• When the transmitter is in standby mode, slowly push the control stick up to take off.
• During flight, push the control stick up to ascend. Ease off on the control stick to descend,
allowing it to move back toward the normal position. DON’T push the control stick down to
descend – you might trigger the stop feature. For best results, adjust the control stick slowly
during flight.
3. Stop feature
This control stick position stops rotor motion. Use it to stop the rotors upon landing. It also acts as
a safety feature, enabling you to cut off all vehicle power instantly in an emergency!
• Push the control stick all the way down (past the normal position) to activate the stop feature.
VI. PRE-FLIGHT CHECK
A. Choose the Right Location.
DO NOT operate the vehicle indoors. Give yourself plenty of flying room. For best results, you
should have at least 150’/50m of clear space in all directions. The best flying location is an open
field. ALWAYS launch the vehicle from level ground. Avoid tall buildings, trees and power lines.
They may obstruct your flight path, and they may create air currents that make it difficult to
operate your vehicle. DO NOT fly near water (pool, pond, lake, river, etc.). DO NOT fly in or near
the street!
B. Check the Conditions.
Your vehicle is very sensitive to air conditions. DO NOT attempt to operate your vehicle in windy
conditions; operate in calm, clear weather only. Windy conditions will make it difficult to fly safely,
and will reduce battery life and flying time. Remember that the wind may be stronger at higher
altitudes than at ground level. Your vehicle’s performance may also vary depending on
temperature and humidity.
C. Be Careful!
Be a safe pilot…use common sense and care when flying. Watch out for people, animals and
obstacles.
VII. READY TO FLY!
Your vehicle is easy to fly, but you’ll need to put in some flight time to become an expert. Practice
these steps to sharpen your skills.
NOTE: to become familiar with the controls and the vehicle’s operation, you may want to practice
taking off and landing at low altitudes: take off, ascend a few feet, and then land. Repeat this
process until you are comfortable with the vehicle’s operation. Gradually fly higher and hover
longer. Be sure to practice the controlled descent and soft landing.
1. Recharge the vehicle (see Section IV). With the transmitter OFF, turn the vehicle ON. Make
sure the transmitter is OFF when you turn the vehicle ON: the vehicle will not power up if the
transmitter is transmitting.
2. Set the vehicle upright on level ground. Make sure the rotor blades are approximately 180°
apart, as shown. Step away until there’s AT LEAST 10’/3m DISTANCE between you and the
vehicle.
3. Make sure the transmitter control stick is in normal position (standby mode). Turn the
transmitter ON. The transmitter will not transmit unless the control stick is in the normal position
when the transmitter is turned ON.
4. To take off, slowly push the transmitter control stick up. To ascend, keep the control stick up.
5. Moving the control stick up or down, within the operation zone, will enable to you vary the
altitude of your vehicle, or to hover at one altitude. Avoid large abrupt changes in control stick
position during flight. It will take practice to achieve maximum flight time.
6. After about 90 seconds of continuous flight, the rotors will begin to slow down. It’s time to ease
off on the control stick, to bring your vehicle in for a controlled descent and landing. Depending on
conditions and flying style, your own flying time may be shorter.
7. To land, ease off on the control stick to descend. When the control stick is in the normal
position, the vehicle will automatically switch to a controlled-descent speed that will bring the
vehicle down easily. Once your vehicle has landed, push the control stick all the way down to the
stop position to stop the rotors.
NOTE: If vehicle does not land on its landing gear, ALWAYS push the control stick all the
way down IMMEDIATELY to activate the stop feature and avoid damage to the blades.
8. Turn the transmitter OFF, then turn the vehicle OFF. Recharge the vehicle for more flying
action.
NOTE: DO NOT activate the stop feature during flight, except in a real emergency! Activating this
feature when the vehicle is in the air will cause it to come down in an uncontrolled descent. A
hard landing may damage the vehicle.
VIII. QUICK TIPS
1. Radio interference can make your vehicle fly badly. Interference can be caused by other R/C
vehicles running on the same frequency; electrical wires; large buildings; or CB radios. Try to stay
away from these!
2. Your flying time may change depending on air conditions and on your flying style. When the
vehicle fails to respond, slows down, or loses range, recharge the vehicle. If performance does
not improve following a recharge, it may be time to charge the Field Charger.
3. The vehicle is designed with advanced protection circuitry that will switch automatically to a
controlled-descent speed, to bring the vehicle down easily, under the following conditions:
(a) If the vehicle gets out of range of the transmitter while flying;
(b) If the remaining charge in the vehicle’s permanent battery drops too low while flying;
(c) If the control stick is released while flying; or
(d) If the vehicle gets too hot during operation.
4. Because your vehicle is sensitive to extra weight, dirt or mud on the vehicle’s body can affect
its operation. Use a clean dry cloth to remove any dirt or mud immediately. If your vehicle gets
wet, it’s important not to operate it until it’s completely dry, inside and outside. Wipe surfaces with
a towel and allow the vehicle to air-dry until it’s dry…overnight at least.
5. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn switches OFF before
storing your vehicle and transmitter.
