2. Hit starter on the floor to the right of the seat.
Water Landing:
1. After landing, leave engine on!
2. Ensure the auto hover switch is off.
3. Reduce RPS to 7 or 8 so the vehicle can not maintain air hover. It will settle back down to surface after waves lift it.
Flight Controls:
W/S - Pitch
A/D - Yaw
L/R Arrows - Roll
Up/Down Arrows - Up/Down
- Aggressive yaw can cause instability due to tandem rotor design. It turns easily so be gentle with the A/D controls.
However, If you want to do a front flip or back flip at high altitude, hold down A or D.

- Cruse altitude can be adjusted with the throttle lever on the ceiling to the right of the seat.
Autopilot Disengage
- Ensure the auto hover switch is off. (CRITICAL SAFETY ITEM)
- Autopilot will disengage after preforming a braking maneuver when nearing target or when shut off manually.
- After speed has dropped below 10 during braking maneuver, you can turn off the auto pilot switch if still on.
Heavy Lift:
- The rope anchors painted red are the best lift points. There are buttons inside and out to release the ropes.
Low Fuel Switch:
- This switch will prevent the generator from running.
- Disables altitude warning lights
