CARING FOR YOUR HELICOPTER
• After each flight and immediately after any crash, inspect your model for worn or damaged
parts. If required, parts are available at your local LaTrax dealer or at
LaTrax.com
. For a
complete parts list and exploded view of your model, refer to the Service and Support
Guide in this manual.
• When not in use, store your model in its original packaging with the batteries removed
from the transmitter and helicopter.
• If you do not plan to fly your model for a week or more, store the battery approximately
50% charged to maintain battery performance and life. To achieve a 50% charge, fly the
model until the battery requires recharging. Charge the battery for half the time typically
required to fully charge the battery.
WARNING! Do not store or attempt to charge a swollen or damaged battery!
See LiPo Batteries section for more information.
ROTOR BLADE INSTALLATION
The
Alias’ rotor blades are not identical. Each
blade is labeled with an A or B. When installing
replacement rotor blades, be certain to install
the rotor blades with the corresponding A or B
for each of the legs (A or B labels for the legs are
molded on the bottom of the helicopter chassis).
The helicopter will not fly if the rotor blades are
not installed in the proper locations.
