Volitation is dened as the act of ying and the new Rage RC Volitar
takes the ease of ying a micro heli to a whole new level. The Volitar is
equipped with all the features that make RC drones easy to y; like 6-axis
ight control, auto take-o and land, altitude hold, and dual ight modes
and incorporates them into a micro heli. Along with being easy to y,
the Volitar is also built to be incredibly durable, partially due to the nylon
reinforced carbon ber tail boom. Plus, 2-gram digital servos provide
precise, responsive control. This micro heli is even capable of ight times
of up to 15 minutes due to the 1S 300mAh plug-in battery and the
duration-optimized design of the rotor blades, so you can maximize your
ying time indoors (in appropriately sized spaces) or outdoors in little to
no wind.
The Volitar is an RTF (Ready-To-Fly) aircraft, so it arrives factory-assem-
bled with everything needed to experience the fun of ying a RC heli,
like a 2.4GHz 4-channel transmitter, a USB charger for the included ight
battery, and even an extra pair of rotor blades. The attractive canopy
comes pre-printed and the rotor blades are painted in matching colors,
so the Volitar looks even better in ight. All you need to add is four AA
batteries for the transmitter and you’ll be experiencing the ease and fun
of ying this new micro heli shortly after opening the box!

Charging Instructions
The charging process is completed by plugging
the USB connector into a power source, such
as a USB port on a computer, a USB adapter
into an AC power outlet, or a portable power
bank. With all 3 power sources, follow the steps listed below:
1. Connect the USB adaptor into the USB port on the power source.
2. Connect the other end of the charger to the baery.
3. When the red indicator light is on, the baery is charging. When the red light goes
out, the charging process is complete.
4. Disconnect the charge cord from both the power source and the baery.
Installing Transmitter Batteries

the back of the transmier. Do not mix
baeries according to chemistry or
specificaons.

Binding and Flight Instructions
1. Connect the battery as shown in the diagram. Note that there
is not a cord to plug the battery into the unit. Simply gently slide
the battery into the bracket until you feel it lock into place.
2. Once the battery is secured in place, turn on the power to the
transmitter. At this time, both the lights on the transmitter and
aircraft will flash. To bind the transmitter to the aircraft, push the
throttle stick all the way to the top and then all the way to the
bottom and release. Both lights should stop flashing and the
binding process is complete.
3. There are 2 options to take off. One option is to
quickly press the Auto Take-Off/Land button on the
top left of the transmitter and the aircraft will
automatically take off to a height of approximately 4'
and remain in a steady hover.
4. The other option is to manually take off using the
throttle stick. With this option, you will first need to
unlock the motors by moving both sticks to the bottom
outside corners, as shown. The motors are then
unlocked and the blades will start to slowly rotate.
To increase the RPM to lift the aircraft off the ground,
slowly move the throttle stick up until the aircraft
reaches the desired altitude.
This option should only be used by intermediate
to expert pilots.
5. While flying, make sure to keep the nose of the aircraft pointing away
from the pilot and a safe distance from others that may be in the area.
6. When ready to land, either press the auto take-off and land button again
or hold the throttle stick at the bottom until the aircraft lands. The throttle
stick can be released after the blades have stopped rotating (holding the
throttle stick down is not needed when using auto-land).

The aircraft was set up at the factory for a steady hover. However, if
you find that you need to make minor adjustments to maintain a
steady hover, the trim buttons can be used as shown in the diagrams
below. Make sure to start with small adjustments to avoid
overcorrections.
Calibration
If the aircraft is flying out of control and cannot be brought to a level
hover by using the appropriate trim buttons, it may need to be
calibrated.
To calibrate, keep the power on for both the transmitter and aircraft
and place the aircraft on a flat level space.
Move the control sticks on the transmitter
to the bottom left position as shown
on the diagram.
The LED on the aircraft will flash rapidly during the calibration
process and will turn solid when the calibration process is complete.
If the aircraft will still not fly at a level hover, it may be helpful to try
the calibration process again. If the aircraft continues to fly erratical-
ly after a 2nd calibration, check the physical components of the
aircraft to make sure they are working correctly and not damaged.
Trouble Shooting Guide

The lights on the aircraft and
transmitter continue to blink
and the aircraft will not
respond to controls.
The lights on either the aircraft
or transmitter do not come on.
When you try to take-off, the
aircraft lights continue to flash
and the unit does not take off.
After binding the transmitter
to the aircraft, the main rotor
blades will spin, but the
aircraft will not take off.
The aircraft is flying
out of control.
The aircraft may need to be
calibrated. Other possible
causes include the main rotor
blades are damaged, the shaft
has been bent, or the blade
holder screws are too tight.
First try to calibrate. If that
does not solve the issue,
inspect the main rotor blades,
the shaft, and the screws
holding the blades in place.
Adjust or replace parts,
as necessary.
Either the aircraft battery has
low voltage or the main shaft
and gear are loose.
If low voltage, charge or replace
the battery. Make sure the main
shaft and gear are a tight fit.
The aircraft battery is either not
connected correctly or needs
to be charged.
Reinstall the aircraft battery to
make sure it is firmly secured
and connected or recharge,
if necessary.
The aircraft battery either does
not have a secure connection
or is not charged. For the
transmitter, the batteries may
not be inserted by the correct
polarity or may need to be
replaced.
Make sure the aircraft battery is
charged and securely installed.
Make sure that transmitter
batteries are inserted correctly
and replace them, if necessary.
The aircraft has not been
bound to the transmitter.
Review step #3 on page 7 of
the manual and repeat the
binding process.
The aircraft spins to the left
after taking off.
The aircraft has limited yaw.
The aircraft yaws
uncontrollable in
either direction.
It is likely that either the servo
is not working correctly or there
is an issue with the swashplate.
The aircraft has not been
correctly trimmed from the
transmitter.
Retrim the yaw according to
the instructions.

There is not enough power to
the tail rotor motor or parts
have been damaged.
Check connections to the tail
rotor and replace any damaged
or broken parts, including
the motor.
It is likely that either the
servo is not working correctly
or there is an issue with
the swashplate.
