ALWAYS turn on the Transmitter (Tx) first.. then plug the helicopter battery in.
Reverse order to power down.
Make sure you use the training balls.
With electric tape or duck tape, tape the toggle switch top right to the NORMAL position.
NOT 3d.

Blade tracking see picture below. You can tape the helicopter to the table, then stand back.
You don't have to spin the blades too fast to get an idea of tracking, at least not fast
until you figure out the throttle control control and when it lifts off.
What look from the side to see if they are parallel, then look for the color tape which is tracking low.
Adjust that side up.

Front to rear balance. They are tail heavy... some say two to three quarters (coin) in the nose
taped securely.. you can tape outside in the beginning. Start with one quarter first.

You will be asking about PIT and PLT... I have put some notes here.

Start off on a flat hard surface so the helicopter can slide around.
You will be doing a lot of sliding around the first week or two.. yes that's right week or two.
Get used to the controls, get a flight simulator, you can get them for $20 US.
Don't even think about flying in a tight closed space at first, a large garage, may be ok.
Outside don't even think about flying if there is any wind, fly in the morning or evening.
Its good if you can take off on a hard surface and land on the grass... the helicopter
will want to slide left... so maybe on a basketball court that has grass on the side to the left.
Don't try to go to high... head high in the beginning is huge.
AS SOON as you are crashing throttle off.

Look at these videos on You Tube they are excellent for a similar helicopter.
