chAnGinG the speed settinG (fliGht mode)
The Speed Button changes the sensitivity of the Quad-Copter’s controls. Press the Speed Button
to cycle between the three available Flight Modes. Each time you press the Speed Button, an
audible tone will sound, indicating which Flight Mode you’re in. In addition, the Speed Indicator
on the LCD screen will show the current Response Mode percentage (e.g. CH0 : 30%)
•
Flight Mode 1
(One Audible Tone / CH0 : 30%) - The
Quad-Copter will be more docile and easier to fly. This
Flight Mode is recommended for beginners.
•
Flight Mode 2
(Two Audible Tones / CH0 : 60%) - The
Quad-Copter will be more responsive, making it more
agile. This Flight Mode is recommended for intermediate
and experienced pilots.
•
Flight Mode 3
(Three Audible Tones / CH0 : 100%) - The
Quad-Copter will be very sensitive to control inputs, making it very responsive. This Flight
Mode is ideal for aggressive flying. This Flight Mode is recommended for experienced pilots only.
We recommend using Flight Mode 1 until you’re familiar with the Quad-Copter’s flight
characteristics, regardless of your flying experience. If you’re flying outdoors or you want
to fly more aggressively, we recommend using Flight Mode 2 or Flight Mode 3, depending on
your skill level and desired control response.
Each time the transmitter is turned ON, the Flight
Mode will reset to Flight Mode 1.

By its nature, the Quad-Copter is stable and easy to fly, however, to make the Quad-Copter as
easy as possible to fly, it should first be trimmed for flight. Complete this procedure prior to flying
your Quad-Copter for the first time or at any time your Quad-Copter seems out of trim.
fliGht trimminG
1) Push the left control stick (throttle) forward to take off and place the Quad-Copter in a stable
hover, about 2 to 3 feet off the ground, then release both control sticks for a couple of seconds.
Watch how the Quad-Copter reacts, then trim the Quad-Copter as described:
We suggest flight trimming the Quad-Copter while hovering no less than 1 foot off the
ground. Flight trimming while flying any lower will make it more difficult due to ‘ground effect’.
