Introduction The incredible stability and unbelievable durability of the Ares™ [air‐eez] Chronos CX 75 makes it easy and fun for ANYONE to fly an RC helicopter. The coaxial, counter‐rotating blade design offers unsurpassed stability that will have any pilot hovering like a pro in no time while fully proportional controls deliver excellent maneuverability and precise control. The Chronos CX 75’s nano‐micro size and low weight make it possible to fly indoors just about anytime and anywhere.
This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to possible interference from a variety of sources outside your control. This interference can cause momentary loss of control so it is advisable to always keep a safe distance from objects and people in all directions around your model as this will help to avoid collisions and/or injury. • Never operate your model if the voltage of the batteries in the transmitter is too low.

Before the First Flight Checklist PLEASE NOTE: This checklist is NOT intended to replace the content included in this instruction manual. Although it can be used as a quick start guide, we strongly suggest reading through this manual completely before proceeding.
Installing the Transmitter Batteries Install the six included AA batteries in the back of the transmitter by first removing the battery compartment cover/door. Ensure proper polarity of the batteries before installing them as noted by the markings molded into the battery compartment, then re‐install the compartment cover/door. Check for proper operation of the transmitter by sliding the ‘power’ switch to the right.
LiPo Battery Warnings and Usage Guidelines IMPORTANT NOTE: Lithium Polymer batteries are significantly more volatile than the alkaline, NiCd and NiMH batteries also used in RC applications. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or personal injury as mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks associated with LiPo batteries.
• When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range should be from approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the battery or model in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire. • Do not over‐discharge the LiPo flight battery.
Charging the LiPo Flight Battery You must charge the 110mAh 1‐Cell/1S 3.7V LiPo battery installed in the helicopter using the LiPo battery charger built into the included transmitter. Charging the LiPo battery using a non‐LiPo battery compatible charger (such as a NiCd or NiMH battery charger), or even a different LiPo battery charger with the incorrect settings, may result in damage to the battery or even fire resulting in property damage and/or personal injury.
After ensuring proper polarity and secure connection turn the transmitter ON but be sure to keep the helicopter turned OFF. When the transmitter is turned on the ‘power’ LED indicator should glow solid red and the ‘charge’ LED indicator should glow solid green. The battery will be charging anytime the charge LED indicator is glowing solid green and ONLY when the transmitter is turned on and the helicopter is turned off.
Flight Controls and Trimming In the event you are not familiar with the controls of your Chronos CX 75 helicopter, please take the time to familiarize yourself with them as follows and before attempting your first flight. The left‐hand stick on the transmitter controls ‘throttle’. When the left‐hand stick (also known as the ‘throttle stick’) is in the lowest possible position the main motors and rotor blades will not spin.
The right‐hand stick controls both elevator (pitch fore/aft) and rudder (yaw left/right; sometimes also referred to as ‘steering’ for this class of model). Pushing the stick forward will turn the ‘tail’ motor on so it pitches the nose of the helicopter downward, allowing the helicopter to be flown forward. Pulling the stick backward will run the tail motor in the opposite direction so it pitches the tail of the helicopter downward, allowing the helicopter to be flown backward.
Moving the right‐hand stick to the left will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the left about the axis of the main shaft. This is accomplished by increasing the speed of the upper main rotor blades while decreasing the speed of the lower main rotor blades. Moving the stick to the right will turn (yaw) the nose of the helicopter to the right about the axis of the main shaft.
Selecting a Flying Area When you’re ready to make your first flight you’ll want to select an open indoor area free of people and obstructions. We suggest an area with approximately 10‐feet by 10‐feet of floor space and 8‐foot ceilings when making your first few flights After you’ve properly trimmed the helicopter and become familiar with its handling and capabilities you’ll be able to fly in other smaller and less open areas due to its nano‐micro size and excellent controllability.
Turn the transmitter on, confirming that the power LED indicator is glowing solid red. Then, using the small switch located on the bottom of the helicopter and near the connector used for charging, turn the helicopter on. When the helicopter is turned on the LED indicator on the control unit (visible through the windshield) will blink/flash red rapidly.
In case the LED indicator does not change to glowing solid red: • If the LED indicator changes from blinking/flashing rapidly to blinking/flashing slowly you do not have a positive radio frequency (RF) link between the transmitter and receiver of the control unit. First, check to be sure the transmitter is powered on and that the power LED indicator on the transmitter is glowing solid red. If the transmitter is powered on and functioning properly, turn the helicopter off.
ceiling or other objects above (this is one of the most common ways most first‐time pilots crash). Lift the model off the ground approximately 12‐16 inches and concentrate on balancing the left‐hand/throttle stick position so the helicopter holds a steady hover altitude. It may also be helpful to make a few short ‘hops’ to an altitude of just a few inches until you’re familiar and more comfortable with the control inputs required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
rotating blade design, releasing all of the other controls will allow the helicopter to return to a stable hover on its own. Don’t be afraid to abruptly set the helicopter down by quickly lowering the throttle when approaching walls or other obstacles to help prevent main rotor blade strikes.
