• Flight Mode 2 or Flight Mode 3 is selected - Select Flight Mode 1 (Page 11)
• You are hovering too low in the ground effect - Hover no less than 2 to 3 feet off the ground
• You are over-controlling - Use smaller, gentler control inputs
• Quad-Copter is out of trim - Trim Quad-Copter using Trim buttons (Page 11)

2) With the left control stick pulled all the way back,
press and HOLD the Flip button, then move both
control sticks to the lower left corners and HOLD
them there for approximately 3 to 4 seconds, or
until the Power Indicators and LED lights on the

flashing, the calibration process is complete.

Over time it’s possible that the transmitter controls may drift, resulting in erratic performance. If
this occurs, the transmitter controls can be calibrated to return to normal operation.
1) Follow steps 1 through 4 in the Calibrating the Gyro and Arming the ESC section on pages 8
and 9 to arm the Quad-Copter for flight.
