Controlling climb, descent and hovering
The fi rst step in getting maximum fun out of the Nano Fighter Gyro Helicopter is to establish a
stable, smooth hover. After a little practice the multi-channel control system can be used to fl y
the model in a similar manner to a “proper” model helicopter:
When the machine reaches the desired altitude, hold the left-hand stick (climb / descent) as still
as possible in the position where the helicopter neither climbs nor descends. If the model starts
turning in either direction, use the right-hand stick to counteract the movement; in this way you
will soon achieve a steady hover. Once you have learned the skill of keeping the Nano Fighter
Gyro hovering at a particular height, without rotating, you can deliberately alter the orientation
of the fuselage (and therefore the possible direction of fl ight) using the direction control (right
stick). The forward / back control (right stick again) is used to accelerate or brake the model in
this direction; the helicopter is even capable of fl ying slowly backwards. By combining all the
stick functions the model can be controlled in a similar manner to a ‘real’ helicopter.
Landing, terminating flight operations
The Nano Fighter Gyro can be landed simply by gradually moving the left-hand stick back
towards you. After the landing the main switch on the model must fi rst be moved to the “OFF”
position, and only then the transmitter can be switched off.
Note: towards the end of a fl ight the model will become increasingly unstable due to the declining
battery voltage. When this happens you must land the model and recharge the battery.
Fault-fi nding
• After the initial charge you may fi nd that the fl ight battery does not give its full capacity, resulting
in reduced fl ight times. The LiPo pack only reaches its full performance after a few
charge / discharge cycles.
After a fl ying session
• At the end of a fl ying session the model should be replaced in its original packaging to avoid
the danger of accidentally bending or distorting the rotors.
• If you know you will not be fl ying the helicopter for a long period, ensure that the model is
switched off, and remove the dry cells from the transmitter.
We wish you loads of fun and pleasure flying your Nano Fighter Gyro!
