FLIGHT PREPARATION
• Verify that there are 3 “AA” batteries installed the remote control unit and the Sky Force™ battery has
been fully charged.
• Make sure to be in a large open space preferably a field or a park with an open radius of at least 200 feet.
• Make sure to start your drone on a clean flat level surface before take-off.
• IMPORTANT! Until you have experience in flying your Sky Force™, it is not advised to use in any
rate of wind. Wait for a zero wind day or extremely light wind when learning how to fly.
SYNCING YOUR SKY FORCE™
Important! When syncing your Sky Force™ with the controller always make sure that the drone is on
a flat level surface and your digital trim settings are in the center positions. This insures that the 6
Axis gyro is properly programmed to respond to your trim settings.
Your Sky Force™ utilizes an
automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless
range with no interference.
1. Before starting, make sure that the power switch is off both on your controller and the Sky Force™.
Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.
2. Turn on your Sky Force™ and set it down on a flat level surface. The red and white LED lights of the drone
should begin to flash repeatedly.
3. Quickly turn ON the remote and you will notice that the red LED light on the face of the controller
should light up and stay solid. The “Battle Indicator” will flash once then off . The lights on the drone
will flash slower.
4. Push the left control stick all the way up until it stops and then pull it back all the way down to the
bottom(see illustration below). You will hear 2 high-pitched beeps when pulling the throttle up and
down. The lights on the drone should stop flashing and become solid. If the lights on both the drone and
the controller have stopped flashing and become solid you have successfully synced your Sky Force™ and
are ready to fly. If the lights on the controller or the drone are still flashing, repeat steps 1-4 again.
•
TIP 1: try not to leave too much time between turning on the drone and the
controller or your syncing window will time-out.
• TIP 2: Syncing your drone indoors or in the shade will make it easier to see the LED
light indicators on both the controller and the drone.

FLIGHT CONTROL
Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote to control the Sky Force™. While
learning to fly your Sky Force™ it is best to start in a large space until you get used to the basic controls.
As you master flying your Sky Force™ you can move to more advanced maneuvering techniques.
Practice makes perfect!
Move the Throttle stick up to increase the
propeller speed and the Sky Force™ will
accelerate and ascend.
Move the Throttle stick down to decrease the
propeller speed and the Sky Force™ will
decelerate and descend (see diagram H).
While in the air, move the Throttle stick left and
the Sky Force™ will rotate left.
Move the Throttle stick right and the
Sky Force™ will rotate right (see diagram I).
While in the air, move the Direction Stick up and
the Sky Force™ will move forward.
Move the Direction Control down and the Sky
Force™ will move backward (see diagram J).
While in the air, move the Direction Control left and
the Sky Force™ will bank to the left.
Move the Direction Control right and the Sky Force
™ will bank to the right (see diagram K).

NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!
If you have successfully synced your Sky Force™ to your controller as explained on page 4 you are now
ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how the controls work
so please carefully read and familiarize yourself with various control features explain in the next two
pages. Again as a beginner pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on
a day with zero or very light wind. Do not try to fly your Sky Force™ too high before you become a more
experienced pilot.
RECOGNIZING THE FRONT & REAR OF THE SKY FORCE™
Even though the Sky Force™ has four rotors there is still a front or "forward" facing direction and "rear" or
backwards facing direction. The forward front and forward facing direction of the Sky Force™ is the side
with two gray blades (see diagram G ). The rear and backward facing direction is the side with two black
propellers (see diagram G).
NOTE: The front of the Quadrocopter also displays WHITE LED light and the rear of the Quadrocopter displays
RED LED lights.

Square Pattern Maneuver
Cross Pattern Maneuver
FLIGHT PRACTICE
To master flying your aircraft, try practicing the excersizes shown below. Start with simple vertical takeoffs,
landings, and left/right turning and rotating. Once those are mastered move on to square and cross
maneuvers. Good luck and have fun!
SPEED SELECT BUTTON
The Sky Force™ has 2 speed settings; SLOW, and HIGH. The Default setting when you first turn on your Sky
Force™ is the SLOW speed mode. For high speed simply press the “High Speed” button (see remote
diagram on pg 3) you will hear 2 beeps and the speed changed to HIGH speed. Speed settings can be set
before flight or during the flight.
REVERSE BUTTON
The Sky Force™ has an REVERSE feature which allows you to operate your drone fly backward automatical-
ly. Simply press the REVERSE Button and your Sky Force™ will begin fly backward. To exit the reverse mode
simply press the REVERSE Button again or push the direction control stick to any direction.
HEADLESS MODE BUTTON
You can maintain orientation of your Sky Force™ during flight.
1. Once the Sky Force™ is activated press the headless mode button (see controller on pg.3) to activate
the internal compass.
2. The flying orientation is now locked to match the direction control lever.
Note: Before switch to “headless Mode”,you need place the drone straight ahead right in front of you,
Calibrate it first then press the headless mode button.
