e) Roll Function

"Roll" denotes the movement around the centre line which can be compared to the sideways rolling of a ball (or the 

sideways crawl of a crab). In this way, through lifting one side the quadrocopter moves independent of its forward 

direction to the side.

If you move the right control lever to the left, the quadrocopter will float to the left as a whole. If you move the control 

lever to the right, the quadrocopter will float to the right. 

Figure 7

f)  Flight Mode

The quadrocopter permits you to choose between three different flight 

modes depending on your experience. 

Change the flight mode by briefly pushing the left control lever at the 

transmitter (see figure 8) (push the control lever like a conventional 

button).
In beginner mode, the control commands are limited to permit you 

learning  how  to  fly  the  quadrocopter  very  quickly  and  easily.  This 

flight mode is recommended for pilots who have no or only very little 

flight experience with helicopters or quadrocopters yet. The beginner's 

mode is the basic configuration after switching the transmitter on each 

time.
The advanced mode is recommended to pilots who have already collected some experience with other quadrocopter 

models. In this mode, the quadrocopter is much more agile in its control conduct than in beginner's mode. In order 

to activate this mode, push the left control lever at the transmitter (figure 8) briefly repeatedly until you hear a double 

sound. 
The professional mode is recommended to pilots who have already collected a lot of experience with other quadro-

copter models. In this mode, the quadrocopter is even more agile in its control conduct than in advanced mode. In 

order to activate professional mode, push the left control lever at the transmitter (figure 8) briefly repeatedly until you 

hear a triple sound. 

Pushing the left control lever again will return you to beginner's mode. This is signalled by a single control sound.
