• Battery Care: Always remove batteries from the remote control if storing for extended periods. Ensure the Go Go Bird's rechargeable battery is fully charged before storage to prolong its lifespan.
• Wing Inspection: Regularly check the wings for any tears or damage. While the material is flexible and collision-resistant, extreme impacts can cause damage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Bird Not Flying/Responding:
  • Ensure both the bird and remote control are powered on and have fresh or fully charged batteries.

  • Practice in an open area without wind. Strong winds can affect flight stability.
  • Ensure the rudder/horizontal tail is correctly adjusted (refer to product diagram).
