TEST VERSION, DO NOT USE FOR PRINTING
First flight
Choose a free area for your first flight. Select first always the Atti-
tude mode because so the copter is easier to control and the
throttle course is different in Rate mode. Take firstly confidence
with the flight attitude of the
Alpha 110Q
. Proceed carefully and
responsibly.
Initialization of the gyro
Once the model has been switched on, the gyro immediately
becomes active but still needs to be initialized. To initialize the
gyro, keep your model still when you switch it on. The calibra-
tion process can only be performed when the receiver is abso-
lutely still. After 3 seconds in still position you will hear beeps
emitted by all motors. The signal tone can vary depending on
the esc model. These "wiggles" signal that initialization has been
successful and that calibration is complete. Always wait until the
calibration process has finished before starting to fly the model.
The motors will not start until the calibration is complete.
CAUTION
If the copter is used for long time (>1min) in Acro 3D mode the
receiver can loose its position information and the copter can
move itself out of control. Before switching back to Attitude
mode, hover the copter for 30 s or land it in Rate mode, so that
the receiver can reset the position.

Special function channel 6
The auto-flip function allows you to flip your copter in a very easy
way. It is essential that you control in Attitude mode (function not
allowed in Rate mode).
The auto-flip function must be controlled by
channel 6
. For this
program a 2-way switch (e. g. SW1) in the transmitter control
menu on channel 6 with the following values:
Auto-flip function on = Channel 6 > 110%
Auto-flip function off = Channel 6 < 110%
Activate the switch and within 5 sec move the nick or roll stick
to more than 50% of its course, then the copter makes auton-
omously a flip in the selected direction. After the flip it is possible
to have some little position movements (<10°).
