SO YOU CAN FLY IMMEDIATELY OUT OF

THE BOX.

CHARGE TIME VARIES BASED ON

HELICOPTER AND CHARGER BATTERY

CONDITIONS. TYPICALLY AFTER A 4

MINUTE FLIGHT THE HELICOPTER WILL

NEED A 20 MINUTE CHARGE.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO WAIT FOR

THE CHARGE TO BE COMPLETE TO FLY,

SHORTER CHARGE TIMES = SHORTER FLIGHT TIMES.

IF THE LED ON THE HELICOPTER IS

FLASHING THIS MEANS IT IS RUNNING IN

LOW BATTERY! PLS. CHARGE THE

HELICOPTER IMMEDIATELY!

Interrupting the charge before the charge cycle is completed will not damage the battery, however for the

longest flight times please let the charger finish its charge cycle.

PILOT INFORMATION NOTICE!

The Desert Thunder is an indoor helicopter only. Do not attempt to fly it outdoor even on a calm day.

FIRST FLIGHT- ARMING AND TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER

“Arm” the throttle by cycling the throttle control from off (bottom) to full on (full up) and

back to off, the Red LED on the Controller will turn on – this is a safety feature to

prevent accidental starts. Your helicopter must be "trimmed" to stop unwanted rotation.

First, using the "UP" control stick, simply raise the helicopter to eye level and turn the

trim control knob (as shown) on the transmitter unit either left or right until the helicopter

stops spinning. This should be done everytime you fly your helicopter after charging.

Trim setting will vary as the helicopter battery drains.

Re-adjust trim during flight as required.

Take off - To take off, the rotors need to spin up to speed to produce lift. For great take offs use the following steps.

1) Push the UP/DOWN throttle completely to UP and watch the helicopter leap off the ground.

2) Once off the ground, gently reduce the throttle so that the helicopter is at the desired height above the ground.

Altitude Control - the throttle control is a digital proportional system, therefore fine movement of the throttle stick will

produce minor changes in the

helicopter

altitude.

Take time to practice controlling the altitude and getting accustomed to the throttle sensitivity.

Note: The

helicopter

will always fly forward based on its design.

TROUBLESHOOTING -CONTINUED

ISSUE:

Flying Area/Location?

Your Desert Thunder has a control range of about 20 feet with the direct line of sight with the controller.

Any obstruction of the infrared signal may temporarily interupt the proper function of the Desert Thunder.

Please note that this helicopter is meant to be flown inside only. The Desert Thunder is very

lightweight and so is very sensitive to air currents. You must be very careful to fly only in calm air

- keep away from fans, air vents or any other sources of moving air. Also, fly only in areas that are

free of furniture to avoid flying into household objects, and keep the heli at least 3 feet away from

walls and ceilings.

Safety?

Do not fly your helicopter near people or pets. Stay clear of furniture and other obstructions.

If you lose control of the helicopter, reduce the throttle and allow it to land. Do not attempt to open

the body of the helicopter or modify the design, doing so may damage the aircraft and may be

hazardous. Do not attempt to replace or overcharge the internal battery. To prevent battery damage,

use only the supplied battery charger.

Advanced pilot?

At full throttle the overall output from the motors is actually reduced when you apply trim or rudder

stick. This is because the motors are already at 100% and to turn, the only thing the control can do

is to reduce the speed of one of the motors. The other motor is at 100% and can not increase;

therefore the combined output is lowered. If you need full trim in one direction, this means that one

of your motors will never get up to 100%.

How long will the Desert Thunder fly?

This very much depends on the condition of your battery. Normal flight times are between 3 & 6

minutes. If you are able to fly for more than 4 minutes you should land and let the motors cool

down for a few minutes.

The Desert Thunder is a delicate machine.

Before removing it from the packaging, please read

the instructions. Do NOT pull on the rotors!

The Desert Thunder uses the latest in electronic and battery technology

to give you a flight experience you won't forget.

Though your Desert Thunder is designed to be easy to fly and extremely

stable, it is an aircraft and as such you need to spend a bit of time

reading this manual to learn to operate it properly and safely.

There is a very active internet-based community where you can get all

sorts of tips and connect with other pilots.

Please note that this helicopter is meant to be flown inside only. Do NOT fly it outside!

Unpacking

Our helicopter is fastened securely in place to prevent shipping damage.

The Desert Thunder is a delicate device and you must be very careful when removing it from the

packaging to prevent any damage.

Assembly

The

Desert Thunder

itself is partially charged and fully assembled. The

Desert Thunder

uses

infrared signal (IR) to control it’s flight.

While the Desert Thunder is easy to fly, it still requires some

basic training and understanding on how to operate the transmitter control sticks, its cause and effect.

With the proper care and maintenance, your flying experience can be greatly enhanced. Please take the

time to read this instruction manual.

PACKAGE CONTENTS:

BROKEN ROTOR BLADES?

If you break one of your rotor blades -don’t panic.

Replacement blades can be purchased at the original retail outlet for most BladeRunner Series

Helicopters. Or inform us at the numbers listed on the following page. Please retain proof of purchase.

Trimming - Once flying at the desired height the helicopter may be spinning under the rotors instead of holding a heading.

Adjust the trim control so that the

helicopter

body does not spin: Turn the trim control left if the body is

spinning right (Clockwise)- Turn the trim control right if the body is spinning left (Counter Clockwise).

Note: many factors affect the trim of the helicopter such as battery condition, throttle setting and damage to the rotors.

It may be required to adjust the trim control more than once during a flight - once trimmed minor corrections can be

managed using the steering control. See the troubleshooting section for more information.

Control Reversal- When the

helicopter

is flying

towards you the steering will appear to reverse.

Proof of Purchase

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -CONTINUED

Desert Thunder is tipping over during takeoff?

Launch the Desert Thunder from flat, smooth surfaces - only. When taking off, briskly move the

throttle stick forward to get the Desert Thunder airborne quickly, then, reduce throttle a bit to

prevent it from shooting skywards. Do NOT let the helicopter sit on the ground with the rotors

spinning at partial power - this will almost certainly cause the helicopter to tip over due to

uncompensated torque effects and gyroscopic precession. If for some reason the helicopter

tips over or crashes it is important to stop the rotors immediately by pulling the throttle stick to

DOWN (to the 'off' position). Stopping the rotors while the throttle stick is not in the 'off' position

could damage the motor brushes or the battery fuse.

Can my Desert Thunder fly forward more quickly?

If you feel that you are ready for the Desert Thunder to move forward a bit more quickly, you

can move the center of gravity forward. Attach a paper clip to the body under the nose of the

Desert Thunder. This will cause it to have a bit more forward flight speed but be aware that in

this case, the Desert Thunder will tend to fly forward even with the controls at neutral.

My charging takes much longer than 20 minutes?

The weight of the Desert Thunder can vary a little and this will influence your flight times.

If you are able to fly for about 4-5 minutes, a full charge will take 20-30 minutes. However,

if you are able to fly for more than one flight, resulting in longer total flight times - the charging

time will also increase relatively.

Charger won't charge the battery?

Make sure that the Desert Thunder is switched OFF.

Charger LED shuts OFF as soon as I plug in the Desert Thunder?

Your helicopter is fully charged - fly it.
