HOW TO TRIM YOUR OSPREY™
PLANE MODE:
After establishing vertical take-off, you can change to plane mode by shifting the transition stick to the upper position (pic.1). To accelerate
and climb, push the altitude stick up slowly (pic.2). NOTE: Once the Osprey™ leaves the ground it should automatically fly forward. To fly to the right (pic.3) or
left (pic.4) move the transition stick in the direction you wish to go. To land, pull altitude stick back slowly until it flies at a lower altitude to allow for vertical
landing. Move transition stick down to tilt wings 90 into heli mode. Reduce throttle slowly to land plane. (pic.5). NOTE: If, on initial take-off, without using the
transition stick, the Osprey™ turns to the left or right, you will need to trim the Osprey™ to make it fly straight. See trimming for PLANE MODE.

Plane Mode
Attach the front and rear wheels
to the Osprey™ as shown. The
wires on the wheels slide into
the slots on the Osprey™ and
snap into place.
HOW TO FLY YOUR OSPREY™
HELI MODE:
Vertical Take-off: Move the transition stick to the lower position (pic.1). Gently push the altitude stick forward to make the Osprey™ hover up
(pic.2). Gently pull the altitude stick back to make the Osprey™ hover down (pic.3). To turn right (pic.4) or left (pic.5) give short, small inputs to the transition
stick. DO NOT look at the controller/charger but focus on the Osprey™. NOTE: Once the Osprey™ leaves the ground it automatically flies forward slowly.
NOTE: If, on initial lift-off, without using the transition stick, the Osprey™ turns to the left or right, you will need to trim the Osprey™ to make it fly straight.

PRODUCT BATTERY REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS: Internal battery is factory
installed, product disassembly and battery removal must be performed by an adult.
Do not use any tools for disassembly. Pulling, tearing, and deforming of the product
during disassembly, while necessary, should be as limited as possible. Do not
compress the product at any time. Ensure product is turned off. Find a point where
the two body halves meet; the nose of the aircraft or where the wing meets the body.
Start to peel the halves apart, separating them where they are glued together;
remove any tape as necessary. Separate product body halves to expose internal
electronics. To separate battery from product use scissors to cut a single battery
wire, immediately wrap the cut wire end with tape to isolate it, repeat until all battery
wires are cut and isolated. Dispose of battery in accordance with your local battery
recycling or disposal laws. NOTE: Opening of product and/or removal of battery will
render product inoperative and voids manufacturer warranties, dispose of remaining
product components in accordance with local laws.
HOW TO REPLACE
DAMAGED FLYBAR
If flybar is damaged and needs to be
replaced, remove locking ring, detach
connecting bars carefully, separate split
post holding flybar and remove. Ensure
that the flat side end faces forward.
Reverse procedure to replace.
NOTE: Make sure you use correct flybar
for correct side (pic.1).
HOW TO REPLACE
DAMAGED PROPELLERS
Remove screw holding propeller (pic.1).
Spread bars and remove damaged

TRIMMING FOR HELI MODE
Roll Trimming:
1. If the plane moves toward the right (pic.1) when flying, rotate the roll-trim dial to the left until the plane flies straight (pic.2).
2. If the plane moves toward the left (pic.3) when flying, rotate the roll-trim dial right until the plane fly straight (PIC.4).
pic.1pic.1 pic.3pic.3
Yaw Trimming:
1. When the plane turns right involuntarily (pic.1), press the left side of the yaw trim button ("L") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.2).
2. When the plane turns left involuntarily (pic.3), press the right side of the yaw trim button ("R") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.4).
TRIMMING FOR PLANE MODE
1. If the plane turns right involuntarily (pic.1), press the left side of the yaw trim button ("L") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.2).
2. If the plane turns left involuntarily (pic.3), press the right side of the yaw trim button ("R") repeatedly until the plane flies straight (pic.4).

- While flying the Osprey™ in either plane or heli mode you can change modes in flight. - With transition stick in the up position the Osprey™ will fly horizontally
like a plane with propeller/rotors acting like propellers (pic.1). - Moving the transition stick down will rotate the main wing 90° into the heli mode with the
propeller/rotors acting like rotors. The Osprey™ will start to rise vertically and fly like a helicopter (pic.2). - Change to plane mode while in mid-air for awesome
flights and land either in plane or heli mode.

WHERE TO FLY YOUR OSPREY™
1. Location – Fly in a large wide-open, grassy location that is free of buildings, trees, overhead wires, and other obstructions.
2. Weather – Fly on mild, sunny days. Do not fly in electrical storms, rain, sleet, snow or other adverse weather conditions. Do not fly if the temperature is below
7°C/45°F. In very cold temperatures, the Osprey will become fragile and the engine performance will decrease.
3. Wind Conditions – Do not fly in strong winds. Strong winds may overpower the Osprey™ and make it difficult to control.
CAUTION: Never fly near your face. Keep propellers/rotors away from your fingers, hair, eyes and other body parts. Always lift off from a flat surface. Never
hold the Osprey™ in your hand when lifting off. DO NOT launch Osprey™ near people or animals. Stay away from obstacles and electrical hazards.
