VENOM Mantis User Manual - Proper
PROPER
FLYING AREAS
When your Mantis is charged and ready to fly, you need to find
a proper flying area.
What you need now is a spacious room or
an open outdoor area without any obstacles. Make sure that the
air is calm. Drafts caused by open windows or doors should
be avoided. We recommend a flat, smooth surface on which
the Venom™Mantis can slide, soft carpet and grass is not a
good choice for flying off of because it could hook the skid of
the helicopter and cause damage. Carpet and grass are good
surfaces to fly over because they can provide a softer landing
in the event of a crash.
Your flying area should be large and
free of obstacles such as furniture, trees, power lines, people
and animals. Make sure the area you are flying in meets these
requirements. Do not fly your Venom™ Mantis in bad weather,
high winds or near trees and water.
PREFLIGHT
PREPARATION
Now you’re ready to fly! Follow these steps for final preflight
preparation and you’ll be flying in no time!
1) Fully extend the transmitter
antenna.
2) Turn on the controller and
make sure the Red light
illuminates brightly.
NOTE: Always turn the
transmitter “ON” first
and “OFF” last to avoid
an out of control model.
