LiteHawk NEON - Post Flight
- When you have finished using your LiteHawk NEON you should first disconnect the Li-Po
battery, then switch OFF the transmitter.
- If you do not plan on using the quadrocopter for more than 24 hours, it is recommended
that you recharge the battery fully before putting it away.
- Remember to allow the battery to cool 10-15 minutes before recharging.
LiteHawk NEON - First Flight
If you’ve never flown then the first thing you need to learn is throttle control. Slowly and
carefully ramp up the throttle until the model starts to lift off, then as soon as the model
leaves the ground, ease off the throttle gently and let it settle back down. If the hardware
is working correctly the model should remain fairly level, and shouldn’t drift too far. Repeat
this process, lift off gently and then land again, until you have a good feel for how much
throttle is required to keep the model in the air. Try keeping it in the air a little longer -
don’t worry about pitch or yaw and - all we care about right now is that the model stays at
a steady height. Don’t go more than a meter off the ground. If the model drifts too far, ease
off the throttle and land it.
When heading out to fly your model, it’s important to always use common sense.
Do not fly in the following places: Near crowds or high voltage, near any obstacles, wind
speeds over C (3mph), thunder, rain or snow or between high buildings.
- Ensure nothing prevents the smooth running of the moving parts.
- Do not dismantle or tamper with this R/C product or its transmitter. The manufacturer and
distributor will accept no responsibility, expressed or implied, for accidents or injuries
caused as a result of dis-assembly, modification and/or usage against the instructions for
this product.
- Ensure that all batteries are correctly installed and that the Li-Po battery is fully charged
and in good condition.
- Do not touch ANY moving parts during operation.
During charging:
- It is normal for the battery to get warm during the charging process. Do not charge the
battery on a surface that is flammable or can be damaged by heat.
- Do not leave the battery and charger unattended while charging.
- After charging, unplug charger from model.
- Do not store the model plugged into the charger.
How To Sync
1/ Make sure the model is turned Off and locate a flat level surface.
2/ Plug the battery into the NEON and turn it on. Place the NEON on the flat surface, you
must do this within 5 seconds of turning the power switch ON. You will see flashing lights
on the NEON start to blink.
3/ Turn on the power for the controller. You will see a flashing red LED light and audible
beep indicating the power is on.
4/ Move the left control stick (this is also the throttle stick) all the way up, then all the
way down. In a few seconds the blinking LED on the NEON and the blinking LED on the
controller will both be solid. The model is now bound.
The NEON MUST be on a flat surface in order to digitally self level itself, otherwise the
model will not sync to the controller.
3/ Plug the NEON battery into the power supply cable. Do not force the plug, it only goes in
one way. The LED light on the USB will turn OFF.
4/ Charge time can take up to 60 minute (less if charging for the first time). Once charged
the LED light on the USB will turn back on to RED.

Tip: If storing for more than 24 hours it is best to store with a fully charged battery. Failure
to do so can damage the battery pack and shorten its useful life.
- Always remove the battery from the toy for charging.
- Unplug the battery from the toy if storing for more than 24 hours.
