Outdoor Flying Tips:
• Choose a location that allows you to fly over grass or another soft surface.
• Do not fly near power lines, trees, rooftops, or other obstacles. Do not retrieve the model
from any location higher than your reach.
• If the helicopter flies too far away from you and you can't determine its orientation, move
the throttle stick to the full down position to immediately land the helicopter.
• If you encounter wind gusts that disrupt the model, fly into the direction of the wind to
maintain control.
• If a strong wind overpowers the model, land immediately to avoid loss of control.
Be prepared for altitude changes as you fly. Forward/reverse and left/right
movements may increase or reduce lift, causing the helicopter to gain or lose altitude.
Be prepared to react to altitude changes by adjusting the throttle as you fly the model.
ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS FOR STABLE FLIGHT
If your helicopter pulls or drifts in any
direction (unrelated to air currents) when
the sticks are at neutral, you can use the
trim controls to tune out any unwanted
flight motions.
• The trim buttons will adjust each control
in a small increment with each 'click'.
Press the trim button as many times as
is required until the model holds a steady
hover with little or no correction required.
• As you adjust each trim, the transmitter LCD will show you the trim position as a numeric
value. There are 25 trim steps in each direction for Rudder, Elevator, and Aileron. Tones
indicate the center and end points. When your model is trimmed for stable flight, the trim
display may not indicate that the neutral setting is zero. This is normal.
Note: If your helicopter still doesn't perform correctly, visit LaTrax.com for more
information and troubleshooting tips.
FLIGHT MODES
Easy, Fast, Expert
• The transmitter is set to Easy Mode by default (the easiest flight mode), and it will always
power up in Easy Mode. Easy mode limits control input (low rate) and uses the full
capability of the flight control system (auto leveling).
• Activate Fast Mode or Expert Mode for even
greater performance capability and access to
tricks (the model and transmitter must both be
on). Modes are toggled by clicking the flight
stick. From Easy Mode, click the flight stick for
mode selection.
• Fast Mode: From Easy Mode, click the flight
stick once. The transmitter will beep 2 times,
the green LED will begin flashing, and the
LCD will display FAST. Fast Mode uses the
full capability of the flight control system (auto
leveling), but allows greater control input (high
rate). Fast Mode also enables trick functions.
