FLYING BASICS
If this is your fi rst time piloting a multi-rotor craft, you will
fi nd that the controls are intuitive and you will have a feel for
basic fl ight by the end of your fi rst battery. Mastering fl ying,
however, takes some practice and patience. We recommend
that you always fl y in control and within your piloting ability.
1. Place the quad on the ground at least 6 feet away with the
tail facing you. Make sure the control rate is set to 20%.
2. Take off by “slowly” advancing the left stick until the quad
takes off. Change the altitude using small movements.
3.
Use the right stick to make the quad move left, right,
forward or backward. Keep in mind that when the nose
is facing you, the right stick controls will appear to be
operating in opposite directions, i.e., moving the right
stick to the right will now move the quad left from the
pilot’s perspective.
4. Moving the left stick to the left or right will rotate the nose
of the quad left or right.
5.
Always use small stick movements to control the quad
until you are familiar with the how the model responds
to the controls.
6. Always unplug the battery and turn off the controller when
you’re done fl ying.
INVERTED FLIGHT
Unlike your typical multi-rotor craft, the Verso quad is capable
of taking off upside-down or fl ipping itself inverted during
fl ight with the press of a button and then continuing to fl y
normally. Sensors on the quad automatically detect which
side of the quad is facing up and will adjust the rotation of
the motors accordingly. Because of this feature, there is some
functionality that is unique to the Verso quad:
●
When the Verso quad is fl ipped 180º using the fl ip button
in the direction of
front-to-back
, the forward and reverse
controls are automatically swapped so your perception
of what is forward has not changed. This means that
if the colored props were considered the front of the
quad before you fl ipped front-to-back, they will now be
the
rear
of the quad.
●
When the quad is fl ipped 180º
left-to-right
, the controls
do not change.
●
Whenever the throttle is moved to the lowest position,
the direction control always defaults to the colored props
being the
front
of the quad. It does not matter which
side of the quad is facing up.
The default setting for the fl ip
function is
180º
. To change
the fl ip function to
360º
, press
and hold the fl ip button for
at least two seconds. The
transmitter beeps once for
180º
mode and beeps twice
for
360º
mode.
LOW BATTERY INDICATORS
Total fl ight time with a fully charged battery will be approximately
7 minutes if the Verso quad is fl own until the automatic cutoff
shuts down the motors. When the battery voltage approaches
the cutoff voltage, the LEDs on the quad will fl ash. At this
point the fl ip function will be disabled. We recommend you
land the quad and charge the fl ight battery.
When the controller batteries become depleted, the battery
symbol on the controller LCD screen will fl ash and you will
hear an audible warning.
To prevent motor damage always be sure
the throttle is off when the blades are
obstructed or control is lost.
