• Quiet, Safe Electric Flight. • Includes Vinyl Target. • Requires: One 9V Alkaline Battery for Transmitter One CR123A Lithium Battery for Gondola Helium (available at most party supply stores and florists) Items may differ from images depicted above Congratulations on the purchase of your Air-Tech airship. Your new aircraft is designed to be easy to fly and to survive the learning curve associated with new R/C pilots. But, as with any sophisticated device, you must learn how to operate it and care for it. Please read this manual thoroughly Be sure to assemble and fly your airship only under adult supervision. • Do not fly near people, pets or appliances. • Use common sense when operating your airship! • Keep clear of the propeller blades. Copyright © 2002 INTERACTIVE TOY CONCEPTS LTD. - Printed in China UM-14001-20627 Warnings & Safety Precautions! • This airship is designed for indoor use only! • The manufacturer is not responsible for any loss or damage caused by unsafe operation of the blimp. Always use common sense when piloting your blimp! • The gondola should be handled carefully. It is made of lightweight materials that can be easily damaged by rough handling. • Hold the balloon securely after filling it with Helium to prevent it from flying away! • Do not continue to fill the balloon after it becomes firm -it could burst. • The balloon expands when temperature rises. If you completely fill the balloon at a low temperature and the room temperature increases, the balloon may rupture or burst. Your kit includes: 1. Metallized inflatable balloon 2. Gondola (thruster module) 3. Transmitter with antenna 4. Putty (for balancing/ballast) 5. Rudder fins You also need (not included): 1. 1 Battery CR123A (3V Lithium battery) for the gondola. 2. 1 Battery 6F22 (9V Alkaline battery) for the transmitter. 3. Helium gas for the balloon (available from florists, party shops, or any other shop selling balloons). 4. Single and double sided-tape to attach gondola and fins to balloon. Install Batteries Open the gondola’s battery compartment by removing the screw from the battery compartment's door. Insert a CR123A lithium battery into the battery holder, ensuring that the polarity is correct. Close the battery compartment and tighten the screw. Remove the battery cover located at the rear of the transmitter by sliding it downwards. Insert a 9V alkaline battery into the battery compartment, again being careful to position it so that the polarity is correct. Fill Balloon with Helium Insert the helium tank nozzle into the Auto-Seal Valve, which is located within the flap on the seam of the balloon. Gently push the nozzle into the opening - be careful not to push the nozzle too far as it may damage the balloon’s Auto-Seal Valve. Fill the balloon with Helium until the balloon becomes firm, without over-stressing the seams. Remove the filler nozzle then close the auto-seal valve by pressing the Auto-Seal Valve back together. Note that you can roll the flap up and tape it in position to minimize any chance of Helium leaking out. Connect the Gondola (Thruster Module) Apply double-sided tape to the inside bottom of the gondola, around the flat outer area or by which the gondola will be attached to the balloon. Secure the module to the underside of the blimp. You may find it easiest to hold the helium-filled airship with one arm while pressing the taped module to the bottom center of the balloon with the other hand. Another option is to allow the balloon to rise to the ceiling and then attach the gondola from the underside. Once the module is attached, apply single-sided tape around the outside lip to ensure maximum adhesion. Note that the On/Off switch of the gondola should face the rear of the balloon. Uncoil the antenna wire and let it trail from the rear of the module away from the propellers. NOTE: Placing the module in the position required for proper balance may take a few attempts. You can remove and reposition the module by carefully peeling it away from the balloon. Notice how the balloon reacts with the weight of the gondola. If it is nose-heavy then move it slightly backward. If it is tail-heavy then try moving it slightly toward the front of the balloon. Make sure the module is aligned straight along the axis of the balloon! Install the Styrofoam Fins Carefully separate the die-cut styrofoam sheet into 4 fins by following the perforated lines. Each fin has one edge with tabs that need to be separated. Bend each tab 90° The first tab to the left and the next to the right, continuing to alternate to the end . Attach the fins to the rear of the Blimp by using double- sided tape or regular Scotch tape. Ensure that the fins are straight! Ballast the Balloon The blimp must be adjusted so that it is neutrally buoyant. This is merely a fancy way of saying that the blimp must float at about eye-level without rising or falling. This is accomplished by adding the correct amount of ‘ballast’ putty. Note that the bombs and batte...
