6. Setup

6.1 Charging the Battery

1. Connect the USB charging cable to the helicopter's battery port.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
3. The charging indicator light will illuminate during charging and turn off when fully charged.
4. Charging typically takes approximately 60-90 minutes. Do not overcharge.

The modular battery features overcharge protection, ensuring safe and extended usage. Its design allows for easy installation and replacement.

6.2 Installing Remote Control Batteries

Insert 4x AA batteries (not included) into the remote control, ensuring correct polarity.

6.3 Pairing the Helicopter and Remote Control

1. Place the helicopter on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn on the helicopter's power switch. The indicator light will flash.
3. Turn on the remote control.
4. Push the left joystick (throttle) all the way up, then all the way down. The remote control will beep, and the helicopter's indicator light will become solid, indicating successful pairing.

6.4 Pre-Flight Check

• Ensure both helicopter and remote control batteries are fully charged.
• Check that all blades are securely attached and free from damage.
• Verify that the helicopter and remote control are properly paired.
• Choose a safe, open flying area.

7. Operating Instructions

7.1 Basic Controls

A detailed view of the 2.4GHz remote control, featuring dual joysticks for precise flight control and buttons for functions like one-key take-off/landing and speed adjustment.

• Left Joystick (Throttle): Push up to ascend, pull down to descend. Move left/right to rotate the helicopter left/right.
• Right Joystick (Direction): Push up to fly forward, pull down to fly backward. Move left to fly left, move right to fly right.

7.2 One-Key Take-off and Landing

After pairing, press the one-key take-off button on the remote control. The helicopter will automatically lift off and hover at a stable altitude. Press the one-key landing button to initiate an automatic descent and landing.

7.3 Altitude Hold and Optical Flow Positioning

The A61 Airwolf automatically maintains its altitude once airborne, thanks to its built-in barometer. Optical flow positioning further enhances stability, especially when flying at lower altitudes, by using a downward-facing camera to detect ground patterns and maintain position.

The helicopter utilizes optical flow positioning and air pressure hold technology for stable hovering, making it easier to control.

7.4 Three-Speed Adjustment

The remote control features a button to cycle through three speed modes: low, medium, and high. Select a speed appropriate for your skill level and flying environment.

This image demonstrates the three-speed adjustment capability, allowing pilots to select low, medium, or high speed settings based on their skill level and desired flight experience.

7.5 Stunt Actions

The A61 Airwolf can perform specific stunt actions. Refer to the remote control diagram for specific button presses or joystick combinations to activate these features, such as circling flight (pot scrubbing) or pre-programmed route flights.

The A61 Airwolf is capable of performing stunt actions such as circling flight (pot scrubbing) and programmable route flights, enhancing the flying experience.

8. Maintenance
