The helicopter comes with a 3S 600mAh LiPo battery, providing about 12-15 minutes of flight depending on flying style and weather conditions.

Charging usually takes 40-60 minutes. The charger’s red light means charging is in progress, green light means the battery is fully charged.

First, turn on the remote controller by pressing and holding both A and B buttons. Then connect the battery to the helicopter.

Usually 12 minutes. It may take longer the first time or when flying at a new location.
12. What do the “Go” and “Off” positions on the return-to-home switch mean?
