Please observe the order of start-up:
1) Switch on the transmitter
2) Then switch on the model
Please keep the reverse order when switching off after the flight.
For 27 MHz models
Please check whether the transmitter antenna is faulty or possibly not fully extended. If there is another RC model nearby, make sure that the same frequency is not being used. In this case, please change the frequency.
Check that the antenna is screwed into the controller as far as it will go. Then pull out the antenna completely. Use the transparent antenna tube included in the packaging for the antenna on the vehicle (depending on the model).

The correct frequency is printed on a sticker on the back of the controller and on the vehicle in the area of the drive axle.
Let the water drip off and dry your boat thoroughly after use. Use normal tap water to clean your boat. The contacts of the water sensors should be treated regularly with vinegar cleaner to prevent corrosion. Make sure that the vinegar cleaner does not come into contact with the propeller and rudder. This could lead to permanent damage.
How to drain your boat correctly:
Coast guard boat Falshöft (301001/301005)
Please open the two drain plugs at the bow and stern after every trip and drain any condensation water that has formed. Please make sure that you put the drain plugs back into the openings provided before each trip.
Ferrari boat Arno XI (300005)
There is a drain plug at the stern. Open this after every trip to drain the condensation water. Please make sure that you put the drain plug back into the opening provided before each trip.
Power Wave (300001)
You will find the drain button on the underside of the boat between the propeller and the sensor. Press it in with a blunt object until the condensation has drained out of the boat. As the drain button is spring-loaded, it will automatically return to its original position as soon as you stop pressing it in.
Please note that binding is only possible in the water for safety reasons. When starting up, first switch on the controller and then the boat. After the trip, follow the reverse order - switch off the boat first and then the controller.
Our boats are suitable for operation in normal to moderate waves in fresh water.
Should your boat nevertheless come into contact with dirty or salty water, it must then be thoroughly cleaned with normal tap water.
If the battery of your boat or vehicle has been connected correctly and the charging process is proceeding normally, the red LED will light up constantly. When the battery is fully charged, the red LED light switches to green. The battery can be removed and installed in the vehicle or boat.
If your Micro Quadrocopter (502002) does not take off despite a fully charged battery, please check whether the arrangement of the 4 rotor blades is correct. The letters are stamped on the top of the rotor blade. It is important to position the A/D rotor blades and the B/C rotor blades correctly.
Before your first flight, please check whether there is a statutory insurance requirement for model aircraft in your country. You can obtain further information from the German Model Flying Association. You are not allowed to do the following with your model aircraft:
- Fly near airfields (minimum distance 1.5 km)
- Fly over crowds of people, military objects, hospitals, power stations or prisons without a permit- Please ensure that you always maintain direct visual contact with the aircraft.
- Flying in windy and bad weather conditions and under the influence of drugs or alcohol is prohibited.
Please observe the following sequence to bind the controller to your helicopter correctly:
1. Switch on the helicopter.
2. Switch on the controller.
Exception: For the Sky Hunter (501001) and Red Eagle (501002), please observe this sequence:
1. Switch on the helicopter
2. Press the right control stick on the controller and then switch it on.
Affects the following helicopters:
Thunder Storm (501004)
Helicopter (501007)
Green Chopper (501003)
Orange Sply (501005)
Green Vecto (501008)
Red Buzzer (500001)
Micro Helicopter (502001)
The correct trim is the basic requirement for stable flight behavior of the helicopter. The tuning requires some patience and feeling.
Please observe the following instructions:
Carefully move the throttle lever on the controller upwards and allow the helicopter to climb approximately 0.3 to 0.8 meters in altitude.
If the helicopter turns to the left or right on the spot while hovering without moving the lever for tail (circular rotation), please proceed as follows: If the helicopter rotates quickly or slowly around its own axis to the left by itself, press the lower right trimmer for tail (circular rotation) on the controller gradually to the right. If the helicopter turns to the right, press the tail trimmer (circular rotation) gradually to the left.
If the helicopter hovers without moving the forward/backward lever forward or backward, please proceed as follows: If the helicopter moves forward quickly or slowly on its own, press the upper right trimmer for forward/backward on the controller gradually downwards. If the helicopter moves backwards, press the trimmer for forwards/backwards upwards step by step.
Applies to the following helicopters:
Sky Hunter (501001)
Spider Fox (501006)
The correct trim is the basic requirement for stable flight behavior of the helicopter. The tuning requires some patience and feeling.
