Slowly apply the throttle until the
helicopter takes off from the
ground. Once it is in flight, increase
or decrease the throttle slowly to
get to a clear flying altitude.
Once you have tentatively set your
altitude, let helicopter float around
the room and center itself before
giving any directional inputs.
The helicopter will always hover
slowly forward and in a bit of a turn.
Learn how the helicopter tends to
fly and controlling it will be much
easier.
NOTE: When direction inputs
(Forward/ Back, Right / Left) are
applied, the helicopter will lose
some altitude. You can compensate
for this with small increases to the
throttle.
IMPORTANT: TO BEST FLY THE HELICOPTER, DIRECTIONAL INPUTS NEED TO BE SPACED OUT AND ACTIVATED WHEN
THE HELICOPTER IS FLYING RELATIVELY STABLE. CRAMMING DIRECTIONAL INPUTS OR TRYING TO COMPLETELY
CHANGE DIRECTIONS IN A HARSH MOVE WILL DE-STABILIZE THE HELICOPTER’S FLIGHT PATTERN.
