Keli Snyder from LaTrax shows you how to make your first flight with the Alias quad-rotor helicopter. Detailed instructions: 1. First, make sure you have a fully charged battery installed in your Alias. 2. Next, find an appropriate area for your first flight: an open area at least 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep and free of any obstacles. 3. Turn on your transmitter and connect your battery to your Alias. The rear-facing LED will glow solid blue, indicating that it is powered on and linked to the transmitter. 4. Snap the battery plug in the retainer and tuck the wires up under the canopy. 5. Place your Alias in the middle of the flying area with the bright blue LED facing you. This orientation is called "nose-out" with the nose of the Alias facing away from you. 6. Step back at least 10 feet from your Alias. 7. Move the throttle stick to the full down position and click the throttle stick to arm the flight system. 8. Gently push the throttle stick forward until the model begins to lift off. 9. Reduce throttle to maintain a hover when the model is at least 3 feet off the ground. This height will keep the model away from the ground turbulence for more stable flight. 10. Move the transmitter controls slowly and gradually until you become familiar with how the Alias will respond. 11. While maintaining a hover, gently move the flight stick left and right...forward and backward. 12. Now try a pirouette by gently pushing the throttle stick to the left or right. Stop the pirouette when the blue LED is facing you again. If you want more speed and greater response, you can switch to Fast mode right from the transmitter. Click the flight stick once to enter fast mode; indicated by E X P 1 on the LCD. The transmitter will beep twice and the LED will single flash indicating that you are in fast mode. In fast mode your Alias will pitch and roll farther, and move faster. This mode is best for outdoor flight. To learn more about the LaTrax Alias visit: http://latrax.com/alias-overview.htm Ask
