Charger Specifications

Input Voltage| 5-8V
Input Current| 1A Maximum
Output Charging Current| 1A

1. Insert the charger into a computer USB port or a USB power supply, such as those used to charge cellular phones.
   Always confirm the output voltage of your USB power supply conforms to the charger specifications above before attempting to connect the charger.

2. Connect the battery balance connector to the charge port of the battery charger.

LED Indications
When you make the connection successfully, the LEDs on the charger glows solid red and blinking green, indicating charging has begun.
Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 320mAh battery takes approximately 30–60 minutes. The LED glows solid green when the charge is complete.
Red Solid and Green Blinking LED: Charging
Red and Green Solid LED: Charging Complete
Red Solid LED: Power Connected (Stand By)
Red Blinking LED Only: Battery Error
Red and Green Blinking LED: Charger Error
Red Blinking and Green Solid LED: Input (V) too high

CAUTION: Once charging is complete, immediately remove the battery. Never leave a battery connected to the charger.

Installing the Transmitter Batteries

The LED indicator flashes and the transmitter beeps as the battery voltage drops.
Replace the 4 AA transmitter batteries when the blue LED on the transmitter begins to flash.

Transmitter Control

Dual Rate Selection
The control sensitivity can be changed by setting the Dual Rate switch. Select between high and low rates (Hi/Lo).
We recommend starting with low rates.
Throttle Cut
Throttle cut is used to prevent accidental motor operation before flight, and to turn the motor off quickly if the helicopter is out of control.
The motor will stop spinning and not respond to throttle stick commands when the throttle cut is switched to the red dot position.
When throttle cut is switched to the green dot position the motor will continue to spin at low idle speed and will respond to throttle commands.
If throttle cut is switched to the green dot position and the throttle position is not at lowest position, the motor will spin at low idle speed but will not respond to throttle control until the throttle is lowered to the lowest setting.
Adjusting Flight Trims
The transmitter beeps every time one of the trim buttons is pressed, until the trim has reached the upper or lower range limit. The middle or neutral trim position is heard as a longer tone. The end of the trim range is indicated by no sound when the button is pressed.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Lower the throttle stick to the lowest position.

2.  Power ON the transmitter.

3. Center all trims. The trims are centered when you hear a longer tone while pressing the trim button. Move the trim in both directions until you hear the longer tone.

4. The throttle cut switch on the transmitter and the calibration switch on the top of the helicopter should both be in the red dot position before connecting the battery to the helicopter.

5.  Rotate the lock on the bottom of the helicopter to release the battery tray. Open the battery tray. Do not attempt to open the battery tray beyond 90 degrees.

6. Install the flight battery using the hook and loop strap.

7. Secure the balance port lead in the cradle next to the battery8. Insert the battery power lead into the power port of the aircraft, noting proper polarity.
   CAUTION: Connecting the battery to the flight control board with reversed polarity will cause damage to the control board, the battery or both. Damage caused by incorrectly connecting the battery is not covered under warranty.

8. Close the battery tray. Rotate the canopy latch to secure the battery tray closed.
   If you experience problems during initialization, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.
   CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged.

Understanding the Primary Flight Controls

If you are not familiar with the controls of the 150 FX, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.

Throttle

Rudder

Elevator (Cyclic)

Aileron (Cyclic)

Flying the 150 FX

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
If this is your first helicopter, we suggest getting assistance from an experienced helicopter pilot or flying club until you are comfortable flying alone.
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields.
It is best to fly from a smooth flat surface as this will allow the model to slide without tipping over. Keep the helicopter approximately 2 ft (600mm) above the ground. Keep the tail pointed toward you during initial flights to keep the control orientation consistent. If you become disoriented while flying, slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly.
During initial flights, only attempt takeoff, landing and hovering in one spot.
Calibration
After connecting a fully charged battery and closing the battery tray, place the 150 FX onto a flat, level, obstacle free surface and move the calibrate switch to the  green dot position. Calibration takes approximately 10 seconds and is complete when the blue LED stops flashing and remains lit. Walk back 30 feet (10 meters).

Takeoff
When you are ready to fly, lower the throttle stick to the lowest position and move the throttle cut switch to the green dot position. The motor will spin at low idle speed and respond to throttle commands.
IMPORTANT: If the main motor or tail motor do not startup properly when throttle is first applied after the throttle is unlocked, immediately return the throttle to idle and try again. If the problem persists, disconnect the flight battery, check for binding in the gear train and ensure no wires or debris have become entangled within the gears.
Slowly increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model flies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin flying the model.
Hovering
Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hold the helicopter in one spot. If flying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the cyclic stick and returning it to center, the model should level itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the cycle stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.
After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress into flying the model to different locations, keeping the tail pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and descend using the throttle stick. Once you’re comfortable with these maneuvers, you can attempt flying with the tail in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the flight control inputs will rotate with the helicopter, so always try to picture the control inputs relative to the nose of the helicopter. For example, forward will always drop the nose of the helicopter.
The average flight time of the aircraft using the recommended battery is approximately 4 minutes, depending on how aggressively the aircraft is flown.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC decreases the power to the motors and the green LED flashes slowly when the flight battery voltage gets low. When the green LED flashes or the motor power decreases land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC may damage the battery.
Landing
To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover until the aircraft touches down. After landing, set the transmitter throttle cut to the red dot position and then move the calibrate switch on the helicopter to the red dot positon. Disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft to prevent trickle discharge. Fully charge your battery before storing it. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist

Ball Links| Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball during flight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail.
---|---
Cleaning| Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry, lint-free cloth.
Bearings| Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.
Wiring| Make sure the wiring does not contact moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
Fasteners| Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the screw only 1/8th of a turn more.

Rotors

| Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before flying. Verify both main rotor blades have the correct and equal tension in the blade grips. When the helicopter is held up sideways, the main blades should support their own weight. When the helicopter is shaken lightly, the blades should fall.
Tail| Inspect the tail rotor for damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the tail boom for any damage and replace if necessary.
Mechanics| Inspect the main frame and landing gear for damage and replace if necessary. Check the mainshaft for vertical play. Verify that the main gear mesh is correct and that no tight spots exist in the 360 degree rotation. Replace components as necessary.
