Safety Information

Operating remote-controlled aircraft requires caution. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in injury or property damage.

• Always fly in open areas: Ensure there are no obstacles, people, or animals nearby. Maintain a safe distance from crowds, buildings, and power lines.
• Weather conditions: Avoid flying in strong winds, rain, or snow. Optimal flight conditions are calm and dry.
• Battery safety: Use only the provided charger and batteries. Do not overcharge or short-circuit batteries. Disconnect batteries when not in use.
• Rotor blades: Keep hands, face, and loose clothing away from rotating blades. Blades can cause serious injury.
• Adult supervision: This product is recommended for adults. If used by younger individuals, adult supervision is required.
• Pre-flight check: Before each flight, inspect the helicopter for any damage, loose parts, or obstructions. Ensure batteries are fully charged and securely installed.
• Emergency stop: Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop function on the remote control.

Setup

1. Battery Installation

Helicopter Battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the helicopter.
2. Insert the Li-ion battery into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
3. Secure the battery and close the compartment cover.

Remote Controller Batteries:

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote controller.
2. Insert four (4) 1.5V AA batteries (not included), observing the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery cover securely.

2. Charging the Helicopter Battery

Use the provided USB charging cable to charge the helicopter's Li-ion battery.

1. Connect the USB charging cable to a USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the helicopter battery.
3. The charging indicator light will show the charging status (refer to charger instructions for specific light behavior).
4. Charging time is approximately 50 minutes. Do not leave charging unattended.

3. Binding the Helicopter and Remote Controller

Follow these steps to establish a connection between the helicopter and the remote controller:

1. Ensure both the helicopter and remote controller batteries are charged.
2. Place the helicopter on a flat, level surface.
3. Turn on the helicopter's power switch. The indicator lights will flash.
4. Turn on the remote controller.
5. Push the throttle stick (left joystick) all the way up, then all the way down.
6. The helicopter's indicator lights will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating a successful binding.

Operating Instructions

Remote Control Guide

• Up and Down Throttle (Left Joystick): Controls altitude and rotation.
• Forward and Backward (Right Joystick): Controls forward and backward movement.
• Left and Right Fly (Right Joystick): Controls sideways movement.
• Pitch Adjustment: Fine-tunes the helicopter's pitch.
• Fine-tuning: Adjusts trim for stable flight.
• Speed Key: Cycles through different flight speeds (Low, Medium, High).
• Emergency Stop: Immediately cuts power to the motors. Use only in emergencies.

Basic Flight Functions

One-Key Takeoff and Landing:

• After binding, press the "One-Key Takeoff" button. The helicopter will automatically ascend to a stable hovering altitude.
• To land, press the "One-Key Landing" button. The helicopter will descend and land automatically.

Speed Adjustment:

• Press the "Speed Key" on the remote control to cycle between Low, Medium, and High-speed modes.
• Low speed is recommended for beginners and indoor flight.
• Medium and High speeds offer increased agility and are suitable for experienced pilots and outdoor flight.

3D Stunts and Inverted Flight:

• The C138PRO supports one-touch inverted flying and advanced 3D maneuvers.
• To activate 3D mode, switch from 6G stabilization mode (beginner-friendly) to 3D mode using the designated button on the remote (refer to remote diagram).
• Practice these maneuvers in a spacious, open area, away from obstacles.
• For one-click reverse flight, push the throttle stick upwards and pull the left and right flight joysticks simultaneously.
