• After confi rming the rotor blades rotate in the correct direction, test the motor response controls.
• Adjust the throttle to a low level of power where the quadcopter begins to get “light” on its landing skids.
• Move the rudder stick a small amount to the right. The nose of the quadcopter should start to rotate
to the right (clockwise).
• Move the rudder stick a small amount to the left. The nose of the quadcopter should start to rotate to the left
(counter-clockwise). If the nose moves to the right, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
• Move the elevator control stick forward. The two REAR landing skids should lift from the fl oor.
• Move the elevator control stick backward. The two FRONT landing skids should lift from the fl oor.
• Move the aileron stick right. The two LEFT landing skids should lift from the fl oor.
• Move the aileron stick left. The two RIGHT landing skids should lift from the fl oor.
• When rotors turn correctly and respond correctly to controls, your nano QX is ready for its fi rst fl ight!
First Flight
• Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and concentrate
on balancing the throttle stick’s position so that the nano QX holds a steady hover altitude. In some cases, you may
need to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs
and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
The nano QX requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover. Remember to keep these throttle
adjustments as minimal as possible. Large adjustments could result in a loss of control and/or a possible crash.
• While attempting to establish a low-level hover, check to see if any trim adjustments are required to help keep the
nano QX from constantly drifting in various directions. If you fi nd that it constantly drifts without any directional control
input, land the model before making any adjustments to the trim settings. Additional details regarding the
location and function of the trim buttons are in the “Understanding the Primary Flight Controls” section of this manual.
– If the nose of the nano QX rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim.
– If the nano QX continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim.
– If the nano QX continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim.
Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little drifting and directional
control input. If the nano QX is your fi rst multicopter or helicopter, seek the help of an experienced pilot to trim the model
for you before making your fi rst fl ight.
• With your nano QX properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover, practice using the rudder, elevator and
aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the machine’s responses to control inputs. Remember to keep the control
inputs as minimal as possible.
