Welcome to the World of LiteHawk!

• Welcome aboard, this is your new LiteHawk ALLY! Before we get ready for your first aerial adventure, let’s cover the basics together!
• Attempting to fly your LiteHawk ALLY without completely reading the manual may cause injury to yourself and people in the vicinity, as well as damage to the RC model. Please read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before taking your first flight.

Controller Set Up

Battery Installation:

1. Open the Battery Cover.
2. If used batteries are present, remove these batteries from the unit by pulling up on one end of each battery.
3. Install new batteries as shown in the battery compartment (+/-).
4. Replace batthe tery door securely.
5. Check your local laws and regulations for correct recycling and/or battery disposal.
6. Never expose the transmitter or batteries to moisture.

LiteHawk ALLY – 2.4 Ghz
Your LiteHawk comes with a 2.4 Ghz radio system, which allows you to play without the fear of ever losing control! Race or play with countless other pilots. The range of your model is approximately 100ft which, due to its small size, is more than normal vision. The farther the model goes away from you the smaller it will become and the harder it will be to determine the model’s direction. We suggest you stay at a distance between 5ft-25ft, this keeps your ALLY within a safe operational distance.

Controller Functions

Familiarize yourself with the Remote and the Drone – everything should be turned off.*

Throttle control: Moving the stick up increases power and will result in more lift. Lowering the throttle stick or decreasing power will result in less lift.

TIP: This is the same stick you will use to “sync” your drone

| |
---|---|---
Yaw control:| | |
Moving the stick to
the left will rotate the
drone left or
counter-clockwise.
Moving the stick to
the right will rotate
the drone right or
clockwise.
Pitch Control: Moving the right stick up will make the drone go forward. Moving the right stick down will make the drone go backwards.| |
Roll:

Push the Roll button once to make the Ally perform an automatic mid-air roll!

| |
Your LiteHawk drone is equipped with a barometric sensor which allows for Altitude hold capability. The drone will maintain your desired height while flying.

AUTO TAKE OFF: Press the Auto Take off button to launch your drone.
AUTO LAND: Press the Auto land button and the drone will land itself. You will hear a beep.
Auto Return: Press this button to return your drone to the controller and the automatic take-off location.

• Camera Up & Down:
  Pushing the top button rotates the video camera up towards the drone. Pushing the bottom button rotates the camera down and away from the drone.

• Gyro Adjustment:
  The Ally has a built-in gyro stabilization mechanism. Pressing this button with re-calibrate your gyro if your drone is starting to drift or wander when flying stationary.

• Standard & Sport Modes:
  Press once and you will hear one beep – you are in Standard Mode (response rates are at 75%). Controls are much more responsive and the input of throttle, pitch, and yaw are greatly increased.

How to charge the ALLY

Your LiteHawk ALLY comes with a LiPo battery which is inside the model. The rechargeable Li-Po battery provides the power to propel your model at high speeds. You should expect a 10-15 min run time. However, you do need to make sure to properly maintain your Li-Po Battery.

• Li-Po batteries don’t like to be run down too low. If the voltage is dropped dramatically they will be damaged and will not recharge! Once the model starts to slow, drive your model to a safe place, walk over and turn it off.
• It is recommended to charge the battery after your run and to always store the battery with a charge. Never discharge or dead short a Li-Po battery!

Always have your model turned off when not in use. Make sure the switch is turned OFF.

1. Find a clean flat surface, avoiding areas where small parts can be lost. Turn the drone upside down to locate the battery.
2. Push down the safety release button, and slide out to remove the battery. Charge the battery with only the provided USB cable. Charging should take around 120 minutes.
3. Re-install the battery on the bottom of the drone.

Tip:
If storing for more than 24 hours it is best to store with a fully charged battery. Failure to do so can damage the battery pack and shorten its useful life.

During charging

• It is normal for the battery to get warm during the charging process. Do not charge the battery on a surface that is flammable or can be damaged by heat.
• Do not leave the battery and charger unattended while charging.
• After charging, unplug the charger from the model.
• Do not store the model plugged into the charger.

How To Sync

• 1/ Make sure the model is turned Off and locate a flat-level surface.
• 2/ Turn the ALLY On. Place the ALLY on the flat surface, you must do this within five seconds of turning the power switch ON.
• 3/ Turn on the power of the controller.
• 4/ Move the left control stick (this is also the throttle stick) up, then down. You will hear a beep. The model is now bound.
• The ALLY MUST be on a flat surface to digitally self-level itself, otherwise, the model will not sync to the controller.

First Flight

If you’ve never flown then the first thing you need to learn is throttle control. Slowly and carefully ramp up the throttle until the model starts to lift off, then as soon as the model leaves the ground, ease off the throttle gently and let it settle back down. If the hardware is working correctly the model should remain fairly level, and shouldn’t drift too far. Repeat this process, lift off gently and then land again, until you have a good feel for how much throttle is required to keep the model in the air. Try keeping it in the air a little longer – don’t worry about pitch or yaw and – all we care about right now is that the model stays at a steady height. Don’t go more than a meter off the ground. If the model drifts too far, ease off the throttle and land it.

• When heading out to fly, it’s important to always be aware of your surroundings.
• Do not fly in the following places: Near crowds or high voltage, near any obstacles, wind speeds over C (3mph), thunder, rain or snow or between high buildings.
• Ensure nothing prevents the smooth running of the moving parts.
• Do not dismantle or tamper with this R/C product or its transmitter. The manufacturer and distributor will accept no responsibility, expressed or implied, for accidents or injuries caused as a result of disassembly, modification and/or usage against the instructions for this product.
• Ensure that all batteries are correctly installed and that the Li-Po battery is fully charged and in good condition.
• Do not touch ANY moving parts during operation.

Post Flight

• When you have finished using your LiteHawk ALLY you should first turn off the toy, then switch OFF the transmitter.
• If you do not plan on using the drone for more than 24 hours, it is recommended that you recharge the battery fully before putting it away.
• Remember to allow the battery to cool 10 for -15 minutes before recharging.
