TIP:
These are all possible with the RTF transmitter. When using a computer transmitter, however, increase the
travel beyond 100% on aileron, elevator or rudder for maximum control authority.

Once you have gained experience and confidence in hovering the mQX, you can attempt more advanced
maneuvers including:
Post-Flight Inspections and Maintenance
Cleaning
Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush
or a dry, lint-free cloth.
Bearings
Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.
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 screw only 1/8th
of a turn more.
Propellers
Make sure there is no damage to the propeller or other parts that move at high speed.
Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts
before flying.
Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little drifting and
directional control input. If the mQX is your first Quad-Copter-type model, seek the help of an experienced pilot to
trim the model for you before making your first flight.
• With your mQX 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.
• When comfortable with low-level hovering, you can transition to hovering and flying the mQX at higher alti-
tudes of three to four feet. At these higher altitudes, you will become comfortable with the flight characteris-
tics of the aircraft.
• Don’t be afraid to set the mQX down on the ground quickly by lowering the throttle when approaching walls
or other obstacles to help prevent propeller strikes.
CAUTION:
Always fly the mQX with your back to the sun to prevent loss of flight control.
