Takeoff
Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model
fl ies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin fl ying the model.
Typical fl ight times for the included battery range from 5 to 10 minutes.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and the
blue and red LEDs on the 5-in-1 unit are solid, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE:
Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.
Landing
To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover. After landing, disconnect and remove the battery from
the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully charge your battery before storing it. During storage, make sure
the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist
√
Cleaning
Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or
a dry, lint-free cloth.
Motors
Replace the motor when the model will not fl y steady or veers off when doing a climb out.
Wiring
Make sure the wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
Fasteners
Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal
screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the screw only
1/8th of a turn more.
Propellers
Make sure there is no damage to the propellers or other parts that move at high speed. Damage to
these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before fl ying.
Operating the Camera
Charging
1. Connect the included USB cable to the USB port on a
compatible power source.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the camera.
The red and blue LEDs will blink back and forth twice,
then:
(A) If you connect to a computer, the red and blue LEDs
will blink slowly, indicating charging.
(B) If you connect directly to a DC power source (no
computer connection), the red LED will glow solid,
indicating
charging.
3. Charge the battery for approximately 30 minutes. The
camera has an internal charger that automatically shuts
off when the battery is fully charged.
4. Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect the USB
cable from the USB power source and the camera. The
red and blue LEDs will blink rapidly for 2 seconds, then
camera will power OFF.
When the camera battery is low, the red LED will blink.
