Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)
When the battery reaches 18V under load, the ESC will
continuously lower power to the motor until complete
shutdown. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po
battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC.
Continuing to fl y after LVC can damage the battery, cause
a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due
to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Repeatedly fl ying the helicopter until LVC activates will
damage the helicopter battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
after use to prevent trickle discharge. During storage, make
sure battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell.
First Flight Preparation
• Remove and inspect contents
• Begin charging the fl ight battery (not included)
• Install the fl ight battery in the helicopter
(once it has been fully charged)
• Program your computer transmitter
• Bind your transmitter
• Familiarize yourself with the controls
• Find a suitable area for fl ying

Panic Feature Programming
Adjustment of the SAFE
®
panic recovery feature is shared
with the gyro gain adjustment. On the “GYRO” screen in
the transmitter, there are two values, POS 0 and POS 1.
The value for POS 0 represents the tail gyro heading hold
gain. The further this positive value is away from 0 (0 to
+100), the higher the tail gyro gain.
The value for POS 1 represents the SAFE gain. The further
this negative value is away from 0 (0 to -100), the more
aggressively SAFE will recover the helicopter in a “panic”
situation.
The gain values presented in this transmitter set up
sheet are a starting point we found worked well for most
situations.
