# 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 responsibil ity 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 recom mended 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 il lustrations 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. 

## Century Helicopter Products 1740-C Junction Ave. San Jose, CA. 95112 U.S.A. www.centuryheli.com Make sure your transmitter battery is fully charged. Turn on the transmitter FIRST prior to turning on anything else on the model. Inspect all parts before each flight to ensure no damage has occurred. Check all nuts, bolts, and screws to be sure they are securely fastened. Verify all parts are installed correctly and in proper working condition. Make sure you have control of the model prior to engaging the motor or engine. Allow all the components to initialize and test all controls. Fly the model and be sure the model is capable of a proper hover prior to performing aerobatics. Land the model and shut off the motor or engine. Turn off or unplug any battery(ies) on the model BEFORE turning off your transmitter.

(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: (a) The aircraft, control system and pilot skills have successfully demonstrated all maneuvers intended or anticipated prior to the 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.

## 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: (a) Maintain control during the entire flight, maintaining visual contact without enhancement other than by corrective lenses pre scribed for the pilot. (b) Fly using the assistance of a camera or First-Person View (FPV) only in accordance with the procedures outlined in AMA Document #550.

# 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 includ ed) 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 between the lower frame plate and the landing gear plate.

Flip the assembly over and the DJI NAZA control ler as shown. Insert plastic “T” joints over the aluminum landing gear tubes and use the set screws and self tap ing 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.
