PRE-FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT CHECK
CHARGING YOUR GYROCOPTER
FLYING INSTRUCTIONS
Important Charging Information:
• Before taking your initial flight, charge the Gyro Havoc™ for a complete charge cycle on your charger.
• Depending upon the length of future play, you will not need to complete a full charge before each flight.
NOTE: A shortened charge results in a shorter play time (may take up to 1/2 hour to fully charge).
1. Location – Fly in a large wide open, grassy location that is free of
buildings, trees, overhead wires, and other obstructions. Do not fly near
people or animals.
2. Weather – Fly on mild, sunny days. Do not fly in electrical storms, rain, sleet,
snow or other adverse weather conditions. Do not fly if the temperature is
below 45°F. In very cold temperatures, the aircraft will become fragile and the
engine performance will decrease.
3. Wind Conditions – Do not fly in wind. Winds may overpower the aircraft and
make it difficult to control. Use the wind ribbon included to measure the wind,
do not fly if the ribbon is 45° or more (see No. 6).

8. With the rotors still spinning, gently toss the
aircraft forward into the wind and parallel to the
ground. Immediately ease up the throttle on the
controller until the aircraft begins to rise. Refrain
from using the directional until the aircraft is flying
forward in a stable manner.

UP and DOWN using the
downward stroke to start
rotation of the rotors. The
rotors should reach top
speed after 5-10 strokes.
