• Always place the helicopter on a flat surface. An uneven surface may affect the helicopter's
take-off.
• Always move the controls slowly and gently.
• ALWAYS look at the helicopter and not at the controller!
• Move the actuating regulator downwards slightly as soon as the helicopter lifts off from the
ground. In order to maintain the flying height, adapt the actuating regulator settings.
• If the helicopter goes lower, move the actuating regulator upwards slightly.
• If the helicopter rises, move the actuating regulator downwards slightly.
• To turn the helicopter, the direction stick usually only needs to be moved very slightly in the
corresponding direction. Most first-time users initially tend to over-steer. Always handle the
direction stick slowly and gently, and avoid fast and jerky movements.
• Beginners should first try to master the actuating regulator after trimming. The helicopter
does not necessarily have to fly straight ahead at first - it is more important to maintain a
consistent height of approximately one metre above the floor by repeated, brief tapping of
the actuating regulator. Only then should you practice moving the helicopter left and right.
• Always move the throttle stick to the down position after a crash.
• Do not fly the helicopter in direct sunlight or very bright lighting. These may affect the infrared controller.
• Do not cover the infrared signal receiver of the helicopter or the infrared signal emitter of the controller. If these are covered, the helicopter will not be able to receive any signal.
• Do not place any stickers or other labels on the helicopter, as these may affect the infrared signal transmission.
• Two or more helicopters of the same model cannot be flown using the same channel. In this case, please use the channel selector to select different channels (A, B or C).

5. SuitABLe FLigHt LocAtioNS:
Choose a location that meets the following criteria:
1. Indoors, with little air movement. Where possible, avoid circulating air from heating and air
conditioning.
2. The room should be at least 10 metres long, 6 metres wide and 3 metres high.
3. Do not fly in rooms with electric fans, lamps or other objects that may interfere with flight.
4. Before take-off, ensure that all animals and people, including the pilot, are at least 1-2
metres away from the helicopter.
5. Always watch the helicopter to prevent it from flying into and injuring the pilot, other people
or animals.
iMPortANt!
Since 2005, model airplanes and helicopters that can fly higher than 30 metres must be
insured. Contact your private liability insurer to find out if your new and old models are
covered. Ask your
insurer for written confirmation and keep this in a safe place.
