1. TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER
STEP
Gently push the throttle up to raise your helicopter .5 m to 1 m high off the ground.
ONE
If your helicopter turns CLOCKWISE, continue to turn the trim to the left until the turning stops
and the helicopter flies straight.
STEP
TWO
Spiral clockwise
If your helicopter turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE, continue to turn the trim button to the right until the turning stops
and the helicopter flies straight.
STEP
THREE
Spiral counterclockwise
2. FLYING INDOORS
Location – Fly in a wide-open room [ideally over 3 m (W) x 5 m (L) x 2.5 m (H)] , away from breakable items. Avoid flying near vents and/or fans, as these may
overpower the Air Hogs ® Hawk Eye™ and make it difficult to control. NOTE: Always get permission to fly your Air Hogs
CAUTION: Never fly near your face. Keep propeller away from your fingers, hair, eyes and other body parts. Always lift from a flat surface. Never hold the
flying toy in your hand when lifting off. Do not launch flying toy at people or animals.
WARNING: If rotor(s) become damaged or broken, do not fly. Flying with broken rotor(s)
may cause damage or lead to injury.
3. FLIGHT CONTROL (After Trimming)
• Put the helicopter on a smooth surface. Uneven floor surface will affect its lifting off.
• Slowly increase the throttle. NOTE: Once the helicopter leaves the ground it automatically flies forward slowly.
• DO NOT look at the controller but focus on the helicopter.
• As soon as the helicopter leaves the ground, reduce throttle slightly (in the worst case scenerio, the helicopter will drop back
to the floor, but that is better than crashing against the ceiling).
• VERY gently add throttle if the helicopter goes down.
• VERY gently reduce throttle if helicopter goes up.
• For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick (most beginners will easily over control the helicopter).
Hover up and down:
When the helicopter flies steadily, you can slowly push the throttle stick up
to make the helicopter fly higher, or release the stick a bit to make the
helicopter fly lower. Only small amounts of stick position change are required
for smooth flying (pic.1 & pic.2).
Hover up Hover down
pic.1
Flying forward:
The helicopter will fly forward automatically to record your video and will accelerate when given a slight amount of throttle.

• With parental supervision, follow the steps for charging your
Air Hogs ® Hawk Eye™ until your computer recognizes your Air Hogs
Hawk Eye™ as a drive.

can access this drive to copy the picture(s) and/or video(s) you have
taken. The files will be in standard JPEG format for the pictures and
standard AVI format for videos. You can view the pictures in this drive
using your preferred software.

files to your computer. Afterwards, to free up memory space on your
