6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Pre-Flight Checks

• Ensure both the helicopter and remote control batteries are fully charged.
• Inspect rotor blades for any damage or cracks.
• Verify all connections are secure.
• Choose a safe, open flying area.

6.2 Binding the Remote Control

The helicopter and remote control are typically pre-bound from the factory. If re-binding is necessary:

1. Turn on the remote control.
2. Connect the helicopter battery and place the helicopter on a flat surface.
3. The helicopter's indicator light will flash. Move the throttle stick (left stick) fully up, then fully down.
4. The indicator light will become solid, indicating successful binding.

6.3 Automatic Take-off and Landing

• Automatic Take-off: After binding, press the "TAKE OFF" button on the remote control. The helicopter will automatically ascend to a stable hovering altitude.
• Automatic Landing: During flight, press the "LANDING" button. The helicopter will slowly descend and land automatically.

  • Up/Down: Controls altitude (throttle).
  • Left/Right: Controls yaw (helicopter rotation).
• Right Stick (Aileron/Elevator):
  • Up/Down: Controls pitch (forward/backward movement).
  • Left/Right: Controls roll (sideways movement).
• Emergency Stop Button: Located on the remote control, immediately cuts power to the motors in an emergency.
