2. Radio link between the radio
controller and the helicopter is not
paired.
1. Turn radio controller on.

then back to DOWN to pair the helicopter and radio
controller.
Helicopter is flying too
high.
1. You need to reduce the throttle. 1. Move the left stick (UP/DOWN – throttle) gradually
down.
Helicopter is flying too low. 1. Needs more power/throttle.
2. The battery in the helicopter is low.
1. Move the left stick (UP/DOWN – throttle) up.
2. Ensure the helicopter is off and charge the internal
helicopter battery.
Helicopter doesn’t hover. 1. The helicopter drifts
forwards/backwards.
1. Push the right stick (FORWARD/BACKWARD)
back/forward to compensate and hold the helicopter
in position.
Helicopter doesn’t fly
backwards
1. The helicopter only flies backwards
briefly then spins to fly forward.
1. Aerodynamics make flying backwards more difficult
than flying forwards and this flight pattern is normal.
Practice flying backward and control the left/right
turning motion of the helicopter to keep the tail
pointed in the direction you desire.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: CAUSE:
TROUBLESHOOTING
ISSUE:
In the event that your main rotor blades or tail rotor sustain damage, they can be replaced by following these steps. (Note,
replacement main rotor blades not included)
Main Rotor Blades:
1. Locate the broken rotor blade and use a fine Philips screw-driver (not included) to unscrew the tiny screw that holds the
rotor blade in place on the rotor hub. Be careful not to lose the screw as it is tiny.
2. Pull the damaged rotor blade horizontally out of its location on the rotor hub.
3. Install a new rotor blade in the same location on the rotor hub by sliding it in horizontally. The holes for the screw have to
align. It is very important that the correct rotor blade is installed as the upper and lower main rotor blades may appear to be
similar but are in fact very different. The helicopter will not be able to fly if the incorrect rotor blades are installed.
4. Fasten the new rotor blade to its mounting point on the rotor hub with the same tiny screw that was pulled out earlier. Do
not over tighten the screw as the rotor blade needs to be able to spin freely inside its rotor hub housing mounting point. Your
BladeRunner Hurricane helicopter is ready to fly again!
Tail Rotor:
1. Locate the broken tail rotor on the end of the helicopter’s boom.
2. Remove the broken tail rotor by gently pulling it upwards off of the tail motor’s axle shaft.
3. Install the replacement tail rotor by sliding it onto the tail motor’s axle shaft in the reverse process as outlined in step 2.
4. Gently press down on the replacement tail rotor until it is firmly in place.

There are 2 small hub connectors which connect the upper rotor hub to the balance bar. In the event that
either connectors become disconnected, broken, or lost, 2 replacement connectors are included with your
BladeRunner Hurricane. Replacement is easy with the following steps.
1. Each connector is attached by 2 simple ball joints. Remove the broken connector by pulling it away
from the axle of the main rotors. Once removed, the 2 ball joints will be exposed.
2. Install the new connector following the reverse of step 1. Gently but firmly press the connector into
position, connecting the upper rotor and the balance bar. The connector will just snap into the 2 ball joints as shown.
REPLACING A HUB CONNECTOR:
Helicopter doesn't move
forward fast enough.
1. The battery charge is getting low.
2. The tail rotor is damaged.
3. The helicopter center of gravity is
no longer correct.
1. Turn the helicopter off and charge the internal
helicopter battery.
2. Replace the tail rotor with new unit from the
replacement rotor kit (not included)
3. Use light adhesive tape to mount a clip on the front
bottom of the helicopter to add weight and adjust the
center of gravity. See also “Helicopter doesn’t hover”
issue.
Helicopter always turns. 1. Trim control is not set correctly.
2. The rotor blades have sustained
damage/or wear from use.
1. Adjust the trim control knob. See “FIRST-FLIGHT
-TRIMMING YOUR HELICOPTER” section.
2. Replace the blades! It is hazardous to fly with
damaged blades!
The main rotors spin erratically
causing unpredictable flight
characteristics.
1. A hub connector is either broken or
missing.
1. Install a new connector using the instructions in the
“REPLACING A HUB CONNECTOR” section.
