The "Small Pepper Drone" ready-to-fly quadrocopter has 4 separately controlled motors, which each drive their own
specific propeller. Using the simultaneous acceleration of all propellers, the quadrocopter can lift off from the ground
and, at appropriate propeller speeds, hover steadily in the air.
For stabilisation in flight, the quadrocopter has a sophisticated system of electronics with position and acceleration
sensors (6-axis gyro) that is designed to detect uncontrolled movements of the model and immediately compensate
for them. The quadrocopter is equipped with an air pressure sensor so that it can stabilise its flight altitude itself.
For flight in a given direction, the electronics in the model detect the control impulses of the transmitter and alter the
speeds of the individual motors accordingly. The quadrocopter thus tilts in the desired direction and the lift thereby also
acts as thrust. The quadrocopter flies in the respective direction.
On the model, two propellers turn clockwise and two turn anti-clockwise. Through a targeted change of speed of the
two propeller groups relative to each other (propellers turning to the right turn somewhat faster and propellers turning
to the left turn somewhat slower or vice versa), it is possible to turn (yaw) the quadrocopter around the vertical axis
while keeping the altitude the same and keeping the quadrocopter in the same spot.
In order to be able to better recognise the model's alignment in flight, the rear of the quadrocopter is equipped with a
red LED which also acts as a status indicator.
The quadrocopter can be flown by sight or in "First Person View" (FPV) mode. When flying by sight, the pilot at the
transmitter sees the quadrocopter from the outside and must keep it in view at all times. FPV mode allows the pilot
to control the quadrocopter from the cockpit view. For this, the quadrocopter is equipped with an integrated forward-
facing wide-angle camera which transmits images wirelessly to the FPV goggles during the flight.
For beginners, the transmitter may be operated in beginner mode. In beginner mode, the control reactions of the
model are significantly reduced (Dual Rate Function). In sports mode, the quadrocopter reacts with much great agility.
The quadrocopter has maximum control sensitivity when in expert mode.
If necessary, the quadrocopter can perform roll-overs (flips) in any direction.
To operate the transmitter, you require 3 AAA/Micro type batteries (e.g. Conrad Item No. 652278, please order 3x).
