Handling and operation
This section provides you with important information on handling and operating
the quadrocopter.
DANGER
►
Controlling and operating remote-controlled model aircraft has to be learned!
If you have never used such a model, start especially carefully and famil-
iarise yourself first with the reactions of the model to the remote control
commands. Be patient!
Do not take any risks when operating the product! You own safety and that
of your surroundings depend solely on your responsible handling of the
model.
General flight tips
■
Always place the quadrocopter on a level surface. A sloping surface may ad-
versely affect the take-off behaviour under certain circumstances.
■
Always move the control lever slowly and with feeling.
■
Always keep your eye on the quadrocopter and do not look at the remote
control.
■
Move the throttle lever back down a bit as soon as the quadrocopter lifts off
from the ground. To achieve a constant flying height, adjust the throttle lever
as follows:
– if the quadrocopter descends, move the throttle lever back up slightly.
– if the quadrocopter ascends, move the throttle lever down slightly.
■
To bank left or right, often only a light tap on the control lever in the corre-
sponding direction is all that is needed. In your first few attempts at flight, you will
probably be tempted to steer too forcefully. The throttle and the control lever
should always be moved slowly and very carefully. Never quickly or jerkily.
The ideal flight environment
The location where the quadrocopter is to be flown should fulfil the following
criteria:
■
It should be an enclosed room where there are no significant air currents. Where
possible, there should be no appliances that cause air currents, such as air condi-
tioners, fan heaters, etc.
■
There should be no potential obstacles in the room (lamps, etc.).
■
The room should be at least 10 m long, 6 m wide and 3 m high. For aerobatic
flying, we recommend flying outdoors or in a large hall in which there is at least
10 m space in every direction.
■
When taking off, ensure that any animals and spectators – including the pilot –
are more than 1–2 m from the quadrocopter when the flight begins.
