  2. Turn on the transmitter.
  3. Connect the flight battery to the helicopter. Place the helicopter on a flat, level surface.
  4. The helicopter's indicator light will flash. Move the throttle stick (left stick) on the transmitter to its lowest position, then to its highest position, and then back to its lowest position.
  5. The helicopter's indicator light should become solid, indicating a successful bind. If not, repeat the process.

Operating Instructions

Pre-Flight Checklist

  • Ensure flight battery is fully charged and securely connected.
  • Transmitter batteries are installed and sufficient power.
  • Helicopter and transmitter are successfully bound.
  • All rotor blades are free from damage and obstructions.
  • Choose a safe, open area free from people, animals, and obstacles for flight.

Take-Off and Landing

The Ninja 250 features one-touch auto take-off and land functions for ease of use.

  • Auto Take-Off: After binding, press the designated auto take-off button on the transmitter. The helicopter will automatically ascend to a stable hovering altitude.
  • Auto Land: During flight, press the designated auto land button. The helicopter will slowly descend and land automatically.

Flight Controls (Mode 2 - Default)

Familiarize yourself with the transmitter controls:

  • Left Stick (Throttle/Rudder):
    • Up/Down: Controls altitude (throttle).
    • Left/Right: Controls yaw (rotation of the helicopter).
  • Right Stick (Elevator/Aileron):
    • Up/Down: Controls pitch (forward/backward movement).
    • Left/Right: Controls roll (sideways movement).

The 6-axis gyro stabilization and altitude hold system assist in maintaining stable flight, making it easier for beginners.
