4. Product Description
The electric flight model „QuadroCopter 450 ARF QC09“ is pre-assembled as far as possible. In the professional field,
such flight devices are already used for the most diverse of tasks. The latest micro processor controlled electronics
with position control and acceleration sensor stabilise the QuadroCopter.
The essential differences to the predecessor model „QuadroCopter 450“ (Conrad item no. 208000) are the higher-
quality sensors in MEMS technology, an „agility mode“ and improved range and control software. Together, the changes
lead to better flight characteristics and enable simple freestyle flight in „agility mode“. Additionally, a composite signal
converter is installed that permits operation with conventional receivers (e.g. of a remote control that is already present).
Additionally, the flight control PCB layout (main PCB QC09) was entirely redesigned to create interfaces and connection
options for future additional modules. Instead of pin strips, the mode is set with DIP switches.
High quality brushless DC motors paired with a specially developed drive enable long and powerful flight operation
while still providing reserve for transporting loads such as cameras, etc. The novel steering and the electronic self-
stabilisation result in excellent flight handling characteristics. Different flying programmes ensure that both beginners
and experts will be able to have their fun.
The QuadroCopter can be used both indoors and outdoors. The in-built electronic controls can balance out small
undesired changes to the flight altitude, but cannot remove them completely. The QuadroCopter weighs relatively little
and this is sensitive to wind. Therefore, ideal flying conditions are complete lack of wind to very gentle and even wind.
The lightweight aluminium booms are sturdy and enable excellent flight handling characteristics. The frame is collapsible
and therefore space-saving and easy to transport. The designer frame contains the complete set of electronics and
has space for expansion plates. The grid construction makes for good stability and good protection of the electronics
at a low weight.
Due to its construction, the QuadroCopter is designed for experienced model helicopter pilots who do not just want to
carry out helicopter-like, but also sensational moves.
However, this extremely manoeuvrable model is also suitable for beginners. However, before the first flight, we
recommend that beginners follow an appropriate training program in a flight simulator for helicopters and/or seek
active assistance from an experienced model helicopter pilot.
The model can be expanded by additional electronics (expansion interface available on the control unit) and the
mounting of several mechanisms on the platform mount fixture on the model.
