2.  
Carefully slide the foam box containing the Helicopter from the cardboard box.  
The Helicopter and its rotors are held in place by at least 3 pieces of tape. Re-  
move all 3 pieces of tape.  
3.  
4.  
Note the two foam corners that are precut to slide up, and out.These protect the  
Rotor Blades when it is stored or moved to another location. Carefully remove them.  
Remove the Charger, the RC Transmitter, and the antenna. Insert and thread  
the Antenna into the top of the RC Transmitter.  
5.  
6.  
Untie the wire ties to disconnect the Trestle from the bottom of the foam packing.  
Gently remove the Helicopter from the foam package. CAUTION! Do not pull  
the helicopter out by the rotors or the tail. If any part seems to not come  
easily, stop and remedy the obstruction before proceeding.  
7.  
When unpacking, check to make sure that the Helicopter, RC Transmitter, Char-  
ger, and Antenna are all included and intact. If any parts are missing or broken,  
please call Harbor Freight Tools as soon as possible.

If the Tail Rotor/Blade is not facing straight up and horizontal, gently move it  
until it is horizontal to the surface it sits upon. (Sometimes the Tail Rotor is tilted  
slightly in shipping.)  
Keep all pieces of the packing material to store the Helicopter properly.  
Installing RC Transmitter batteries

Initial Charge Level  
The Helicopter is shipped with an installed Lithium Polymer Flight Battery, par-  
tially charged. This allows the Helicopter to be tested before charging the bat-  
tery initially. Do not charge the Helicopter before first use. Simply fly it for a few  
minutes. As soon as the power begins to fade, land the Helicopter and charge  
the battery.  
Lithium battery Charging safety  
Do not leave unattended while charging.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.

Turn charger off when battery is charged, and unplug charger from battery-  
powered device.  
5.  
6.  
Disconnect AC wall chargers from outlets while not in use.  
If battery-powered device has been damaged, immediately stop use, unplug,  
and safely move away from flammable materials.  
7.  
Follow instructions for charging battery. Do NOT charge longer than recom-  
mended.  
Recharging  
1.  
Note: When recharging, monitor battery. Do NOT leave unattended while re-

Gently plug the Charge Cable into the Micro Jack located on the side of the Mini-  
Helicopter. NOTE: The Connector will only connect one way. Do not force it. It  
should connect smoothly and with minimal force. (See Illustration 3.)  
When the Charger Plug is plugged into the Helicopter, the LED on the charger  
will go out, indicating that charging is taking place.

OPERATION  
CAUTION: Keep all spectators a safe distance away while flying and do not fly too  
near to yourself.  
Note: Flying any helicopter, even a dual rotor model helicopter, takes a great deal of  
patience and practice. Take time to get familiar with the controls of the helicopter  
in a location that will be relatively safe for the delicate helicopter.  
Note: Read through this entire section completely and get familiar with the controls  
BEFORE flying the helicopter for the first time. There will likely not be time to  
review instructions during flight.

Place the Helicopter on the floor with the tail facing towards you and the nose  
facing away. (Illustration 5)  
Turn ON the ON/OFF Switch on the RC Trans-  
mitter.  
Disarm the safety lock on the transmitter by  
pressing the Throttle stick all the way forward,  
then all the way back. The LED on the top  
middle on the RC Transmitter will light and stay  
on.

Smoothly move the Throttle Stick forwards, the two Rotors will start spinning.  
The farther the Throttle Stick is moved forward, the faster the two main Rotors  
will spin. As the Throttle Stick is moved past center, the Helicopter will lift off.  
Try to lift the helicopter at least three or four feet off the ground before practicing  
on the controls. It will be easier to control at that height.

To gain altitude, move the Throttle Stick forward. To descend, slowly move the  
Throttle Stick back. (See Illustration 6)

To rotate clockwise, move the Direction Control Stick left. (See Illustration 7)  
10.  
To rotate counterclockwise, move the Direction  
Control Stick right. (See Illustration 7)

To move forward or backward, move the Direc-  
tion Control Stick forward or backward.  
(See Illustration 7)  
To land, move the Throttle Control slowly and  
smoothly backwards until the helicopter starts  
to descend.  
(Illustration 7)  
An advanced technique to help cushion the landing is to apply a slight amount  
of throttle when the helicopter is just above the ground.  
Trimming  
12.  
Locate the two Trim Tabs near the Direction (right) Control Stick on the RC  
Transmitter*. (See Illustration 4, previous page.)  
a. The Trim Tab under the right control stick effects Helicopter Body rotation  
direction and speed**.  
b. The Trim Tab to the left of the right control stick can be adjusted to control  
forward and backward movement.  
c. Gently and slowly move these Trim Tabs to help maintain control of the he-  
licopter. The changes may take a slight amount of time to be evident, so  
adjust slowly.  
*
The trim tabs near the Throttle (left) Control Stick do not effect helicopter operation.  
** Additional adjustment of the rotation control is as follows:  
Note: Adjustment of the internal rotation potentiometer should be performed ONLy by a  
qualified technician. Improper adjustment of any potentiometer can result in permanent  
damage to the transmitter.  
Under the rectangular center cover in the RC Transmitter, there are three delicate potentiometers.  
Only the center potentiometer can be adjusted gently and slightly to adjust the rotation control of  
the helicopter. Turn it clockwise to slow down counterclockwise rotation and turn it counterclock-  
wise to slow clockwise rotation. Replace the center cover before use.

Tips  
13.  
Flight times of four minutes are normal when the Helicopter is fully charged.  
Then, after waiting two minutes, it can fly another two to three minutes before  
being recharged. Running the helicopter until the battery completely runs  
out of power may ruin the battery.  
14.  
15.  
Do not let the Helicopter get closer than two feet from walls and ceilings. The  
Helicopter tends to gravitate towards large flat surfaces.  
When taking off, do not move the Throttle Stick too slowly. Take off is a critical  
time and if the Helicopter hovers at a low height for too long, or sits on the floor  
too long with the Rotors turning, it will likely lean to its side. The key is to try to  
get it into the air smoothly and quickly.This does not mean that the throttle should  
be jammed forward. Slow and smooth does it.  
16.  
17.  
Avoid sudden movement of the Control Stick.  
The Helicopter has a receiving range of 30 feet but wiring in walls or other inter-  
ference may reduce this range.  
18.  
19.  
20.  
21.  
During initial flights, try to keep the Helicopter within 5 feet of the ground in case  
it needs to be landed quickly.  
As noted before: When landing, give the Helicopter a bit more throttle just prior  
to touch down. This will help make a smooth landing.  
When the Helicopter touches down, back all the way off on the Throttle Stick.  
This will prevent the Helicopter from bouncing and possibly turning over.  
After use, switch the RC unit off first, then switch the Helicopter off by moving  
the switch on the fuselage towards the nose of the Helicopter.  
MAINTENANCE  
1.  
2.  
Keep the Helicopter clean and dry.  
Store the Helicopter inside the original Foam Packing out of the reach of chil-  
dren.  
Replacing Rotors  
Remove top cap on Rotor Assembly  
Remove Rotors and Fittings.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Install new Rotors and Fittings.  
Hold Helicopter in hand and brace bottom while replacing top cap gently but  
firmly. Pushing top cap down while Helicopter is sitting on a surface may cause  
damage to Landing Gear.
