LiteHawk duo - How to charge
  • Charging from the Radio - Slide open the charge cable cover on the back side of the transmitter and remove the charging cable. Make sure the helicopter is switched OFF and plug the charging cable into the LiteHawk. Turn the power on the transmitter to “on”, you will notice that the LED light is red. Once the light goes out your LiteHawk is charged. NOTE: when remote is in standby, LED will be green. 
  • Charging from the USB - Plug the USB into your computer USB port. Plug the other end of the cable into your duo. The LED light on the USB will turn RED, once your heli is charged the LED light will go out.
Remember
  • Recharge the battery for at least 20 minutes if storing for more than 24 hours. Failure to do so will damage the battery pack.
LiteHawk duo - How to sync
  • Place the helicopter on a flat surface. Turn your remote controller On, then turn on your LiteHawk. Make sure the transmitter is facing the helicopter at all times. Push the throttle lever to the top and back down to sync the helicopter, you will notice the light on the controller is now green. 
  • Slowly push the throttle lever up and your LiteHawk will begin to hover. This may take a little practice. If your LiteHawk does not stay straight, adjust the trim wheel by turning it in the opposite direction that the LiteHawk is rotating.
  LiteHawk duo - Removing the "Clam Shell" Body
This is the first step in order to reveal the inner workings of your new LiteHawk duo.
  • Remove all the screws (indicated by red arrows in the photo).
  • Once you have removed ALL of the screws in the canopy (there are 8 in total) gently pry the canopy apart, being careful not to snap off any of the plastic pins that help line up the canopy sides.
  • It should be noted that when putting the canopy back together, that all the wires be placed securely inside the body as not to pinch and damage them, also try not to let them fall where you need to re-insert a screw.

 

 LiteHawk duo - Front Rotor Assembly and / or Main Gear Change
  • Start by removing the canopy.
  • 1. After removing the canopy remove this screw (indicated by red arrow in the first photo below) in the upper rotor assembly. Then simply lift off the upper rotor assembly - if this was all you need to change, your journey ends here, simply add the new replacement part and secure the screw (making sure that the screw lands on the small flat section on the rotor shaft).
  • 2. For those in it for the gear change, we continue by flipping the heli so we can see its underside and remove the two screws holding the plate below the main gear (marked with red arrows in the second photo). Once that is done you can lift the little black plate off.
  • 3. Slide the lower main gear out, by gently pulling it downward (as shown by the blue arrows in the third photo below) until it and the inner shaft come out. 
  • 4. To change the other (upper) main gear, holding the gear and the lower rotor assembly (by the spots indicated by yellow arrows) gently twist them in opposing directions , back and forth until the gear comes loose, pop it off. 
  • To reverse this process, place your new lower rotor assembly shaft through the void created by the one you removed, then attach the lower main gear, it is a pressure fit, some like a tiny dab of glue, don't over do it, we want this part to move after. Then slide the inner shaft (attached to the lower gear) back in, slip the black plastic piece, that retains the gears back into place, add the screws to secure it, slip on the upper rotor assembly, and tighten that on all important screw (remember to make sure it lands on the flat spot on the shaft).
