14. The first flight

Important!

Before switching the transmitter on, please set the throttle stick to "motor off" and all trim levers of the pilot
stick to zero (mid trimming). Otherwise, the quadrotor helicopter may not recognise the transmitter after
the battery is connected.

Switch on the remote control. Then connect the flight battery. The quadrotor helicopter then acknowledges a short
self-test with the permanent lighting of the green LED. In the case of error, the LEDs flash. Should an error occur, the
battery should be disconnected and connected again after the error has been eliminated (e.g. gas not in zero position).
In the case of an error, the motors cannot be started again for safety reasons.

Please ensure that the quadrotor stands as level as possible when the battery is connected. Until the green LED lights
up, all sensors are being internally aligned and the quadrotor helicopter should not be moved during this time. If the
place of take-off is uneven, it is recommended that you level out the surface and save the neutral position through full
throttle/yaw right (see chapter "set neutral position").

Start the motors (with gas on zero, yaw left) and let the motors run at idling speed. Check the running of the rotors once
again. All rotors should run smoothly in a plane without the quadrotor helicopter vibrating. Should a motor not start,
turn the motors off again and move the rotor of the non-starting motor to a quarter rotation with your hand. Then start
the motors again.

Ideally, now slowly increase the speed of the rotors (the gas) of the quadrotor helicopter until you can see a slight
increase of altitude. Test the roll and yaw direction just before the quadrotor helicopter starts to hover to ensure that the
transmitter is correctly set and there is no channel inverting (control signals are reversed). Avoid in general fast-paced
and bid controlling motions. Also watch closely to see whether and in which direction the quadrotor helicopter moves.
By using trimming on the remote control, you can align undesired movements.

Important!

Never take off with a badly trimmed flight device.

Then increase the gas until the quadrotor helicopter is at least one meter above the ground. Carefully try to correct a
gentle drift using the trim lever for yaw, pitch or roll.

As soon as the quadrotor helicopter is high enough in the sky, decrease the gas until the quadrotor hovers. Now you
have managed the critical part and can slowly and carefully familiarise yourself with the gas controlling motions better!
To land the quadrotor helicopter again, decrease the gas slightly until the quadrotor helicopter gravitates to the ground.
A somewhat solid touchdown on the ground is no problem and should not be corrected with jerky gas movements.

Try to touch down where possible in vertical position ("helicopter landing"). Avoid landing with high horizontal speeds
("airplane landing"). After landing, turn off the motors (press throttle stick to the bottom right).

Practice this starting procedure a few times to get a feel for the quadrotor heluicopter. As soon as you are reasonably
sure, you can begin to steer the direction with yaw, pitch and roll. Always steer slowly and carefully and practice the
processes a little before trying a new flight manoeuvre. The first flights should not last longer than 30 to 60 seconds
respectively.
