3. 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 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 the throttle if the helicopter goes down.  
- VERY gently reduce the throttle if helicopter goes up.  
- For turning, give short and small inputs to the direction stick. (Most beginners will easily over control the helicopter)  
Hover up and down:  
Turn counter clockwise and clockwise:  
When the helicopter flies steadily, you can slowly push the throttle stick up  
to make helicopter fly higher, or release the stick a bit to make helicopter fly  
lower. Only small amounts of stick position change are required for smooth  
flying (Pic.4 & Pic.5).  
Hold the helicopter at a height. Push the rudder stick toward left to turn  
counter clockwise (pic.6), and push the rudder stick toward right to turn  
clockwise (pic.7).

Hover down

pic.4  
pic.5  
Accelerates & Decelerates:  
Fly forward and stop:  
If you turn the helicopter slowly to the counter clockwise, the helicopter will  
decelerate. And when turned it to the clockwise, it will accelerate.  
The helicopter will take a slow forward speed when a gentle Clockwise  
turn is made. To make it stop, it is sufficient to give a short Counter  
clockwise turn command. By alternating this flight technique, the  
helicopter can be directed anywhere and come back to it’s starting  
position.  
HOW TO ADJUST YOUR HELI’S FLIGHT PERFORMANCE  
FORWARD WEIGHTING  
If you would like to adjust the directional control of your  
Havoc Stinger™, you have the option of putting on the  
Optional Aluminum Labels. Stick one label on the bottom of  
the helicopter’s nose as needed. These will forward weight  
the helicopter and allow for a different flight performance.  
Optional aluminum labels

HOW TO FIX YOUR TWIN ROTORS  
A
B
If the linkage between your twin rotors 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)  
WRONG  
RIGHT  
While your 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!
