3. FLIGHT CONTROL (After Trimming)
NOTE: Hovering is half the
battle. If you can maintain your
helicopter in a stable position
in the air you are on your way
to becoming a PRO.
- Put the helicopter on a smooth surface. Uneven floor surface will affect its lifting off.
- Slowly increase the throttle.
- DO NOT look at the controller/charger but focus on the helicopter.
- As soon as the helicopter leaves ground, reduce the throttle slightly. (in the worst case, the helicopter will
drop back to the floor, but that is better than crashing against the ceiling)
- VERY gently add the throttle if the helicopter goes down.
- VERY gently reduce the throttle if helicopter goes up.
- For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (Most beginners will easily over control the helicopter)
Hover up and down:
Turn counter clockwise and clockwise:
When the helicopter flies steadily, you can slowly push the throttle stick up
to make helicopter fly higher, or release the stick a bit to make helicopter fly
lower. Only small amounts of stick position change are required for smooth
flying (Pic.4 & Pic.5).
Hold the helicopter at a height. Push the rudder stick toward left to turn
counter clockwise (pic.6), and push the rudder stick toward right to turn
clockwise (pic.7).

Accelerates & Decelerates:
Fly forward and stop:
If you turn the helicopter slowly to the counter clockwise, the helicopter will
decelerate. And when turned it to the clockwise, it will accelerate.
The helicopter will take a slow forward speed when a gentle Clockwise
turn is made. To make it stop, it is sufficient to give a short Counter
clockwise turn command. By alternating this flight technique, the
helicopter can be directed anywhere and come back to it’s starting
position.
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR HELI’S FLIGHT PERFORMANCE
FORWARD WEIGHTING
If you would like to adjust the directional control of your
Havoc Stinger™, you have the option of putting on the
Optional Aluminum Labels. Stick one label on the bottom of
the helicopter’s nose as needed. These will forward weight
the helicopter and allow for a different flight performance.

HOW TO FIX YOUR TWIN ROTORS

If the linkage between your twin rotors comes undone and is dangling below the bottom rotor,
it is very EASY to fix! (A)
Carefully re-attach the linkage back onto the top connector and gently push it into place. (B)
WRONG
RIGHT
While your there, you might want to check around the area for any fibers or debris that might
affect your flight performance. Carefully remove it with tweezers and you are ready to start
flying again!
