INTRODUCTION

Thank You

Warning!

Flight Checklist

General Guidelines

Pre-Assembly Information

Thank you for purchasing the all new NEO 600/600 class of multi-rotor aircraft. By incorporating the latest designs and the possibilty of 

running on blade sizes from 10” to 12” propellers, the lifting capabilities and stability of the NEO 600 & 660 are unmatched.

This R/C Multi Rotor is not a toy! It is a precision machine requiring proper assembly and setup to avoid accidents. It is the responsibility of the owner to operate this product in a safe manner as it can inflict serious injury otherwise. It is important for the user/pilot to be 

responsible for the damage the model is capable of inflicting on one’s self and others around the model during its operation. Century 

Helicopter Products, affiliated individuals, and shops/sellers hold no accountability for the operation or use of this model. It is recommended that if you are in doubt of your abilities; seek assistance from experienced radio control modelers and associations. Although the 

mult-rotor is considered small in size, you must be very cautious during the operation of the model as serious damage, injury, or death 

can occur.

Apply thread lock to all metal to metal thread contact points. Do not apply CA (cyanoacrylate) glue or thread lock to ny-lock nuts (metal 

nuts with plastic inserts). Diagrams indicated by bounding boxes for screws, bearings, etc. are illustrated at a 1-to-1 ratio. All other illustrations are not drawn to scale. Throughout this manula, you will find building tips. Please follow the tips and use common sense when 

building.

Upon opening the kit, all the major component parts are bagged for ease of assembly which correspond to the sections of the manual. 

Various assemblies have been pre-assembled however, only as a reference assembly. Final assembly is up to the user. Installation onto 

the particular parts, screws and nuts required for each step are packaged in the same bag as the parts. Be careful when opening each 

bag as not to lose any hardware. Care has been taken in filling and packing of each bag however mistakes do happen. If there is a parts 

shortage or missing hardware, please contact us directly or contact your place of purchase.

(b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must be used when appropriate. (AMA Document #540-D-See and Avoid Guidance.)

(c) Not fly higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level within three (3) miles of an airport, without notifying the airport 

operator.

(d) Not interfere with operations and traffic patterns at any airport, heliport or seaplane base except where there is a mixed use 

agreement.

(e) Not exceed a takeoff weight, including fuel, of 55 pounds unless in compliance with the AMA Large Model Aircraft program. (AMA 

Document 520-A)

(f) Ensure the aircraft is identified with the name and address or AMA number of the owner on the inside or affixed to the outside of 

the model aircraft. (This does not apply to model aircraft flown indoors).

(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous boosts except for helicopters operated under the provisions of 

AMA Document #555.

(h) Not operate model aircraft while under the influence of alcohol or while using any drug which could adversely affect the pilot’s ability 

to safely control the model.

(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which explode or burn, or any device which propels a projectile or drops 

any object that creates a hazard to persons or property.

3. Model aircraft will not be flown in AMA sanctioned events, air shows or model demonstrations unless:

specific event.

(b) An inexperienced pilot is assisted by an experienced pilot.

4. When and where required by rule, helmets must be properly worn and fastened. They must be OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE 

approved or comply with comparable standards.

Radio Control (RC)

1. All pilots shall avoid flying directly over unprotected people, vessels, vehicles or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and 

property of others.

2. A successful radio equipment ground-range check in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations will be completed before 

the first flight of a new or repaired model aircraft.

3. At all flying sites a safety line(s) must be established in front of which all flying takes place (AMA Document #706-Recommended 

Field Layout):

(a) Only personnel associated with flying the model aircraft are allowed at or in front of the safety line.

(b) At air shows or demonstrations, a straight safety line must be established.

(c) An area away from the safety line must be maintained for spectators.

(d) Intentional flying behind the safety line is prohibited.

4. RC model aircraft must use the radio-control frequencies currently allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Only 

individuals properly licensed by the FCC are authorized to operate equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.

5. RC model aircraft will not operate within three (3) miles of any pre-existing flying site without a frequency-management agreement 

(AMA Documents #922- Testing for RF Interference; #923- Frequency Management Agreement)

6. With the exception of events flown under official AMA Competition Regulations, excluding takeoff and landing, no powered model 

may be flown outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for the pilot and the pilot’s helper(s) located at the flight line.

7. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a model aircraft in flight while it is still under power, except to divert it 

from striking an individual. This does not apply to model aircraft flown indoors.

8. RC night flying requires a lighting system providing the pilot with a clear view of the model’s attitude and orientation at all times.

9. The pilot of a RC model aircraft shall:

BUILD PHOTOS (USING NEO 600 AS EXAMPLE)

Assemble the NEO 600 lower frame plate and 

aluminum threaded arm mounts.

Turn over the lower frame plate and install the 

landing gear aluminum posts and distributing 

panel hex posts.

Select type of battery connector (not included) and solder all ESC and DJI BEC on power 

distribution panel. 

It is optional to add a disconnect for the BEC for 

quick removal from the power distribution panel. 

Photo shows a completed power distribution 

board.

Using short tube holder (#4) and motor mounting plate (#3) assemble the arm together.

Install the power distribution board in betweenthe lower frame plate and the landing gear 

plate.

Flip the assembly over and the DJI NAZA controller as shown.

Insert plastic “T” joints over the aluminum landing 

gear tubes and use the set screws and self taping screws to lock together. 

Make two sets of gear assemblies to complete 

the landing gear, NEO 600 uses 200mm tubes 

and 660 uses 260mm tubes.

Take a moment to get an understanding of which wires relates to which connectors and take the lower 

frame plate and lay it out.
