d) Competition mode
The drone housing incorporates an IR receiver LED and an IR transmitter LED. With these, you can compete against
another drone. As soon as the infrared light transmitted from a drone hits the receiver of the other, it is recognised. The
drone then flies in a circle automatically and flashes. Each further hit of the light equates to another circle.
In order to activate this mode, press the “VS” button at the top right of the remote control.
Infrared system for competition mode
A competition consists of 4 hits on a drone. When 4 hits have been achieved, the drone descends automatically and
lands. The motors are shut down and the LEDs light up uniformly. The drone can then take off again as usual.
The maximum recognised distance between transmitter and receiver is approx. 5 - 8 m, depending on
environmental influences. Strong solar radiation reduces the maximum “meeting distance”.
e) Speed levels
There are three speed levels for drone flight. You can switch between these levels by pressing the button with the
“rocket symbol” at the top left. After switching to a speed level, the current level is signalled acoustically by a cor-
responding number of beep tones. The first level is particularly suitable for flights indoors.
Start with the first speed level to familiarise yourself with the workings and control of the drone. After switch-
ing the drone on for the first time, the first speed level is activated.
