Before you begin, please read the warnings listed on the following page. Failure to comply with the following recommendations could lead to bodily harm or injury. The Megatech HeliChopper is not intended for those under 12 years of age without proper adult supervision. Please read these before operating your HeliChopper. • • • • • • • • • • • Safety Warnings Safety Warnings manner. When flying, you are responsible for your own safety and the safety of others around you. Follow these basic safety guidelines at all times. The spinning main rotor and tail rotor on this aircraft can be dangerous! When operating/flying, always be aware of the spinning rotors. Be careful not to let them come close to your body, other people or loose clothing. Keep your hands, fingers and any article of clothing away from the rotors. Keep spectators behind you when flying. Fly only on calm days. Gusty winds and winds over 5 MPH will make it difficult (if not impossible) to control your helicopter properly. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify any of the HeliChopper’s components or allow them to get wet. Electrical damage may occur that could affect safe operation. Only use the rechargeable battery pack provided with your HeliChopper. Using any other type of battery will damage your helicopter and possibly make it dangerous to operate. Since your HeliChopper is controlled by a radio link, it may be subject to interference from outside radio sources. Do not fly your helicopter if other models are being operated on the same frequency in the area. (27Mhz) It is very important to always use fresh alkaline batteries in the transmitter. We recommend Megatech’s Golden Power battery series, designed specifically for R/C products. Always fly your helicopter in a wide-open area, free from wires, trees, buildings and other obstructions. Never fly your HeliChopper after dark. Always take off from the heliport base. Never hold the HeliChopper when launching. A sudden wind shift could send the helicopter in your direction, possibly resulting in injury. Avoid flying in very hot or very cold weather. Your HeliChopper features an automatic temperature guard. When the helicopter gets too hot, it will automatically shut down and land to prevent overheating and protect the internal circuitry. HeliChopper Manual.indd 3 10/14/2003, 12:40:18 PM 4 Your HeliChopper Package • • • Always have an adult install the batteries into the transmitter and charger/heliport. Never mix old and new batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries for the charger/heliport or the transmitter. Avoid mixing alkaline and other types of batteries. After every two or three flights, let your HeliChopper cool down for 10-15 minutes. This will help prolong the life of your helicopter. Always remove the batteries from your charger when you finish flying for the day. Do not store batteries inside the charger or transmitter. Getting Acquainted with Your HeliChopper HELICOPTER B A A.

Proper storage will prevent the rotors from warping and help maintain flight performance. Installing the Batteries Using a Philips screwdriver, unscrew the battery hatch. Paying careful attention to their direction, install 8 D-size alkaline batteries. Reattach the battery hatch and securely tighten the screws. NOTE: For best results, replace the 8 D-size alkaline batteries in the Charger/Heliport after every 15-20 flights. The Radio Controller Using a Philips screwdriver, unscrew the battery hatch. Install 6 AA alkaline batteries. Be sure the batteries are properly arranged or your controller will not function. Reattach the battery hatch and securely tighten the screws.

Directional Control Knob Charging Your HeliChopper hydride) battery that must be charged before each flight. 1. Begin by moving the Off/On switch on your HeliChopper to the “Off” position (all the way to the left, or toward the tail of the helicopter). If the switch is in the “On” position, your helicopter will not charge. 2. Plug the Charger Link into the charge port beneath your HeliChopper. Make sure it is securely connected or charging will not occur. HeliChopper Manual.indd 5 10/14/2003, 12:43:34 PM Preparing for Flight 6 3. 4. 5. 6. Place the HeliChopper onto the Charger/Heliport. Move the switch on the Charger/Heliport to the “On” position. The red light should start blinking. This indicates that it is charging the batteries on your HeliChopper. When the red light stops flashing and a green light begins to glow, your battery is fully charged. You may now disconnect the HeliChopper from the Charger/ Heliport. 4 7 Switch in Off position. Charger Link plugged in. Charger lights show charging is in progress. Preparing For Your First Flight least twice. Here’s how: Charge the battery pack as instructed on page 5. Fully extend the transmitter antenna. Next, turn on the radio control transmitter first and then the receiver. Always remember to turn on the transmitter first. Firmly hold the helicopter at the center of the fuselage so the main rotor and tail rotor are unobstructed and away from fingers, loose clothing, etc. Now slowly squeeze the throttle trigger on the transmitter to start the rotors spinning. Continue to run the motor until it stops. Allow the battery pack to cool, and then recharge it again. Perform this process of running the motor until the battery is drained at least twice. The battery pack will now supply more power and your first flights will be much easier and safer! Flying Your HeliChopper 1 2 3 the radio control transmitter. Switch on the radio control transmitter. A red light on the transmitter will glow to indicate power. Never attempt to fly if the red light on the transmitter is not glowing. Radio turned on.

Flying and Landing 4. 7 Slide the switch on the HeliChopper to the “On” position (all the way to the right or front of the helicopter). Always switch on the transmitter before you switch on the helicopter. Center the helicopter on the Charger/Heliport with the landing gear straddling the “H” as shown. This is important. It keeps the HeliChopper from sliding before it lifts off. Step back at least 5 yards and face the helicopter. Double check to make sure that your flying area is clear of people, trees, buildings, electric lines or other obstructions. Grip the transmitter in your left hand, so that the trigger/throttle is controlled by your left index finger. Use your right hand to operate the Directional Control Knob. Squeeze the trigger/throttle gradually until the rotors begin to spin. The rotors need to spin for 1.5-2 seconds to build up energy before lifting off. As the helicopter lifts off, it may be shaky. Allow the HeliChopper to stabilize before attempting to turn. Trying to turn while your helicopter is unbalanced will make it difficult to control and may lead to a crash. You determine how high your HeliChopper will fly with the proportional trigger/throttle. The harder you squeeze the trigger, the higher your helicopter will fly. Turn your HeliChopper by using the Directional Control Knob like a steering wheel. Turn it left to turn to the left, right to turn to the right. Be careful not to turn too much. Small turns should be all you need to hold your HeliChopper in a stable hover. NOTE: Any wind will make your HeliChopper move, so be ready to correct. HeliChopper average flight time on a full charge is between 3 and 6 minutes. If your flight times are less than this, you should change the 8 D-size alkaline batteries in your Charger/Heliport. Landing Your HeliChopper 1. Find a soft, grassy area to land. Although built to be incredibly tough, your HeliChopper may be damaged by harsh landings. 2. To land, slowly ease off on the throttle trigger until your HeliChopper starts to slowly descend in a spiral. Do not ease off too much or the rotors will stop and your HeliChopper may crash.
