CHARGING YOUR HELIX"" HELICOPTER 1. Make sure that your Helix‘" helicopter‘s "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position. 2. Plug the charger into a wall outlet. 3. Connect the "charge cable"to the Helix‘" charging port. Make sure cable plug aligns with charging port. When charging, a red LED light on the helicopter will flash and when the charging is completed, the light will turn "OFF". "ON/OFF" Switch FLIGHT PREPARATION 1. Extend the controlier antenna fully. "ON/OFF" 2. Turn the Helix" helicopter Switch "ON/OFF" switch to the "ON® position. 3. Push the controller switch to the "ON" position. *ON/OFF" Switch IMPORTANT: HELICOPTER ROTORS MUST BE TRIMMED CORRECTLY BEFORE FLYING! * in order to fly your Helix"" properly, you must first correctly trim the rotors. The trim wheelis located at the top of the rotors. * Turn the helicopter and controller on. Increase the throttle slowly until the Helix"" takes off. (You want to fly the helicopter low) 1. Location of adjustable trim wheel above rotors 2. Slowly push on the throttle until the Helix"" takes off from the ground. b Throttle 3. If the helicopter is spinning counter clockwise, turn the wheel a fittle bit clockwise. 4. If the helicopter is spinning clockwise, turn the wheel a little bit COUNTER clockwise. When properly trimmed, the helicopter will not spin, it may drift on take—off but the body should not stpin independent of the directional control. It may take a few tries to find the righttrim. Once you have your Helix"" trimmed correctly, you are ready to fly. For the first flight, pick a pretty wide open space indoors. Practice! Flying a helicopter is a skill that takes time to acquire!

HOVERING YOUR HELIX®" HELICOPTER 1. Slowly push on the throttle until the helicopter takes off from the ground. 2. The helicopter will always hover slowly forward and in a bit of a turn either right or left. Hovering Left or Hovering Right FLYING YOUR HELIX®" HELICOPTER IMPORTANT: TO BEST FLY THE HELICOPTER, DIRECTIONAL INPUTS NEED TO BE SPACED OUT AND ACTIVATED WHEN THE HELICOPTER IS FLYING RELATIVELY STABLE, CRAMMING DIRECTIONAL INPUTS OR TRYING TO COMPLETELY CHANGE DIRECTIONS IN A HARSH MOVE WILL DE—STABILIZE THE HELICOPTER‘S FLIGHT PATTERN. Stowly apply the throttle until the «;] helicopter takes off from the |. .mrmesmesuse ground. Onceit is in flight, increase — f=——— hn or decrease the throttle slowly to ' get to a clear flying aftitude. Once you have tentatively set your altitude, let helicopter float around the room and center itself before giving any directional inputs. The helicopter will always hover slowly forward and in a bit of a turn. Learn how the helicopter tends to fly and controlling it will be much easier. NOTE: When direction inputs (Forward/Back, Right/Left) are applied, the helicopter will lose some altitude. You can compensate for this with small increases to the throttle. LANDING YOUR HELIX®" HELICOPTER * When flying the helicopter near obstacles, always land it when it seems like it is going to hit something. * To land the helicopter, reduce throttle slowly. A fast reduction in throtile will crash the unit. WHEN FINISHED FLYING ts 7 ‘ 1. When finished flying the helicopter, turn the "ON/OFF" Switch "ON/OFF" switch on the helicopter to the "OFF position. 2. Turn the "ON/OFF" switch on the controller to the "OFF" position. 3. Then push the controller "ON/OFF" antenna in to its stored Switch position.

REPAIRS The Hellx"" helicopter Clear tape can be is equipped with used to repair the folding rotors to helicopter fuselage. prevent damage when the helicopter lands. Reset the rotor positions as shown. OTHER CARE AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS * NEVER leave the Hellx"" unattended at any time while being charged or discharged. * The charger will become slightly heated while charging. Allow sufficient free space around the charger. * If the power of the battery pack is weak in spite of proper charging, the LiPo battery may have been worn out from repeated use. * ALWAYS store the Helly‘" in a secure location away from small children. PRE—FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT CHECK Flying Indoors? Location — Fly in a wide—open room, far away from breakable items. An empty double car garage or unfinished basement are great options. Avoid flying near vents and/or fans, as these may overpowerthe helicopter and makeit difficult to control. NOTE: Always get a parent‘s permission to fly your Hellx‘" indoors. Fiying Outdoors? 1. Location — Fly in a wide open grassy location that it is free of buildings, trees, overhead wires and other obstructions. Do not fly near people or animals. 2. Weather — Fly on mild, sunny days. Do notfly in electrical storms, rain, sleet, snow or other adverse weather conditions. Do not fly if the temperature is below 45°F/7°C. In very cold temperatures, the helicopter will become fragile and the engine performance will decrease. 3. Wind Conditions —— Do notfly in wind. Winds may overpowerthe helicopter and make it difficult to control. In windy conditions, it may appear as though you have no control over the helicopter, WARNING: Never fly near your face. Keep rotors away from your fingers, hair, eyes and other body parts. Always lift off from a flat surface. Never hold the helicopter in your hand when lifting OFF. Always store the helicopter in it‘s original container to avoid bending the rotors. NOTE: Regardless whether you‘re flying indoors or outside, make sure that the batteries are in working order. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM SOLUTION Helicopter does not turn ON. Turn power OFF on helicopter and controller for 10 seconds, (Helix"" may need to be re—set after crashes) then turn ON. Re—charge. When charging, a red LED light should start flashing. When the light goes out, the helicopteris charged. Helix‘" is equipped with LiPo low voltage detection to protect the battery, but users should always turn OFF and re—charge when poweris drained enough to adversely affect performance. Helicopter spins out of Helicopter rotors must be trimmed property. See previous section — control. "IMPORTANT: HELICOPTER ROTORS MUST BE TRIMMED CORRECTLY BEFORE FLYING!® Rotor is bent or broken. The plastic rotors can be bent back to shape, and broken ones can even be taped back together. Damaged fuselage. Just tape back in place with clear tape. A WARNING. Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are very different from other types of batteries and must be handled and M disposed of properly.
