HOW TO INSTALL YOUR BATTERIES
BATTERY INSTALLATION – CONTROLLER/CHARGER 1. Open the battery door with a screwdriver (pic.1). 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 polarity diagram (+/-) inside the battery compartment (pic.2). 4. Replace battery door securely (pic.3). 5. Check your local laws and regulations for correct recycling and/or battery disposal.

HOW TO CHARGE YOUR HAVOC HELI® STEP ONE Slide back the cover and gently remove the charging wire – it is attached to the controller.
STEP TWO
STEP THREE
Turn off the power to the helicopter located on the bottom of the helicopter.
Insert the charge plug into the charge port on the side of the helicopter.
Front of Heli OFF CHG ON
STEP FOUR Turn the controller to the CHG/ON position. Green charging light and Red Power light both ON when charging. The Green charge light goes OFF when helicopter is fully charged. Once charged, pull the charge plug out of the helicopter and store in controller. NOTE: Red Power light flashes when batteries are weak and should be replaced.
Things to remember: 1. The helicopter will have 4-6 minutes of flight time after charging over 30 minutes. 2. Before you recharge the battery, wait 10-15 minutes to let the battery cool down.
HOW TO FLY YOUR HAVOC HELI®
1. SET THE BAND ON YOUR CONTROLLER: To do this, you must check which frequency letter your helicopter is set at. Turn over the helicopter and you will find a letter (A,B,C) on the bottom. Set the band selector on your controller to the same letter by moving the horizontal switch.
2. TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER: STEP ONE
Gently push the throttle up to raise your helicopter .5 m (1.5 ft) to 1 m (3.25 ft) high off the ground. If your helicopter turns CLOCKWISE, continue to push the LEFT side of the trim REPEATEDLY until the turning stops and the helicopter flies straight.
STEP TWO
or Spiral clockwise
Keeps turning clockwise
If your helicopter turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE, continue to push the RIGHT side of the trim REPEATEDLY until the turning stops and the helicopter flies straight.
STEP THREE
or Spiral counterclockwise
Keeps turning counterclockwise

NOTE: Your Havoc Heli® loses its trim EVERY time you turn it off. So remember these helpful tips to stabilize it every time!
3. FLYING INDOORS
Location – Fly in a wide-open room [ideally over 3 m (10 ft.) (W) x 5 m (16.5 ft.) (L) x 2.5 m (8 ft.) (H)], away from breakable items. Avoid flying near vents and/or fans, as these may overpower the Havoc Heli® and make it difficult to control. NOTE: Always get permission to fly your Havoc Heli® indoors. a CAUTION: Never fly near your face. Keep rotor away from your fingers, hair, eyes and other body parts. Always lift off from a flat surface. Never hold the flying heli in your hand when lifting off. DO NOT launch heli near people or animals. Stay away from obstacles and electrical hazards. a WARNING: IF ROTOR(S) BECOME DAMAGED OR BROKEN, DO NOT FLY. FLYING WITH BROKEN ROTOR(S) MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR LEAD TO INJURY.
4. 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 the 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 throttle if the helicopter goes down. - VERY gently reduce throttle if helicopter goes up. - For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction lever. (Most beginners will easily over control the helicopter)
Hover up and down:
Turn counterclockwise and clockwise:
When the helicopter flies steadily, you can slowly push the throttle lever up to make the helicopter fly higher, or release the lever a bit to make the helicopter fly lower. Only small amounts of lever position change are required for smooth flying (pic.4 & pic.5).
Hold the helicopter at a height. Push the direction lever toward the left to turn counterclockwise (pic.6), or push the direction lever toward the right to turn clockwise (pic.7).

Normal forward flight:
Fast forward flight:
Hold the helicopter at a height. With the throttle lever up, push the forward movement button once to make the helicopter fly forward at normal speed (pic.8).
Hold the helicopter at a height. With the throttle lever up, push the forward turbo movement button once to make the helicopter fly forward at fast speed (pic.9).

pic.9
Continuous forward flight:
Accelerates & Decelerates:
Hold the helicopter at a height. With the throttle lever up, push both the forward movement button and forward turbo movement button at the same time to make the helicopter fly forward continuously (pic.10).
If you turn the helicopter slowly counterclockwise, the helicopter will decelerate. And when you turn it clockwise, it will accelerate.

HOW TO FIX YOUR ROTOR/FLYBAR ASSEMBLY If the linkage between your rotor and flybar 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) While you’re 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!

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM
CAUSE
Main rotor won’t move.
ON/OFF switch on helicopter is set to OFF. Weak battery.
Tail rotor is broken or not moving.
Something may be caught in the rotor. Rotor may have chipped during flight. Try steering left/right to activate tail rotor. Weak power. Helicopter may be out of range from controller.
Suddenly stops and drops while flying.

SOLUTION Set switch to ON. Re-charge the helicopter using the charging port OR check batteries in the controller. Remove blockage. Replace tail rotor with the spare set in the package. Re-charge helicopter or check battery power in controller. Move closer to the helicopter with the controller.
TROUBLESHOOTING (cont’d) PROBLEM
CAUSE
The Helicopter is not reacting to the controller.
Helicopter is losing control.
Helicopter is not holding a charge. Helicopter will not lift off the ground. Helicopter only turns in one direction. Helicopter does not respond to trim adjustment.
SOLUTION
A,B,C channel selection on controller is not correct. Helicopter may not be turned ON. May be another infrared (IR) device using the same channel. Bright lights may be affecting the IR control. You may be too far away from the controller. Helicopter might be turned ON while charging. Controller/charger is low on battery power. Helicopter may not be fully charged. Helicopter is not trimmed correctly. Tail rotor may be deformed or broken. Hair or debris may be tangled around main rotor shaft.
Double check the letter on the bottom of the helicopter and adjust the channel selector on the controller. Turn helicopter ON. Avoid these if possible, or choose another place to operate the helicopter. Turn down lights or change flight environment. Move closer to the helicopter with the controller. Turn OFF the helicopter so that it is not flashing. Replace batteries in the controller. Charge helicopter fully, until green light turns off. Refer to the TRIMMING section in the instruction sheet. Replace tail rotor. Remove hair or debris from around main rotor shaft.
