Motor Test
Place the helicopter outdoors on a clean, flat and level surface (concrete or
asphalt) free of obstructions. Always stay clear of moving rotor blades.
WARNING: The motor will spin when throttle is increased while throttle
hold is OFF.
1. Check the swashplate directions to ensure they are moving in the correct
direction. Please refer to the diagrams on the prior page for reference.
WARNING: Stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the helicopter
when the motor is running.
Do not attempt to fly the helicopter at this time.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until complete shutdown when
the battery reaches 9V under load. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po
battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fly after LVC
can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries dam-
aged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Understanding the Primary Flight Controls
If you are not familiar with the controls of your Eclipse 360, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.

2. Ensure the throttle is lowered completely and is in normal flight mode.
3. Turn throttle hold off.
4. Slowly increase the throttle until the blades begin to spin. The main blades spin
clockwise when viewing the helicopter from the top. The tail rotor blades spin
counterclockwise when viewing the helicopter from the right-hand side.
5. Turn throttle hold on.
Repeatedly flying the helicopter until LVC activates will damage the helicopter battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle
discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per
cell.
