2 FlIgHT COnTROl
note:
Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying behaviour of the
Quadrocopter! The direction information applies if the Quadrocopter is viewed from behind.
note:
If the quadrocopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be steered in the opposite direction.
2A
Take off or fly higher by carefully moving the control for thrust and rotation forward. Land or
decrease altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust and rotation backward.
2B
Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight carefully
forward. Fly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight
carefully backward.
2C
Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight carefully to
the left. Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward and sideways flight
carefully to the right.
2D
Turn multicopter around to the left by moving the controller for thrust and rotation carefully
to the left. Turn multicopter around to the right by moving the controller for thrust and rota-
tion carefully to the right.
Control adjustment:
By pressing the left button
(2E)
, sensitivity of the control can be adjusted in
three levels (Easy – 1x beep, Normal – 2x beeps, and Expert – 3 beeps).
Attention!
Only switch to a higher level when you have mastered the lower one!
BAttEry lEvEl:
• If the LEDs blink rapidly, the battery is depleted. The model must be landed soon in order
to avoid crashing!
3 TRIM ADJusTMenT OF THe COnTROl
The correct trim is a basic requirement for fault-free flying behaviour of the Quadrocopter.
Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please observe the
following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the Quadrocopter
approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.
3A If the Quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right …
Press the roll trim incrementally in the opposite direction.
3B If the Quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or backwards …
Press the nick trim down incrementally. If the helicopter moves backwards, press the nick trim
up incrementally.
1 sTART pRepARATIOn
The thrust controller (the left controller on the remote control) must point down before being
switched on. Then set the ON/OFF switch of the remote control to the „ON“ position; the Power
LED will flash red
(1A)
. The LEDs begin to blink when the Quadrocopter is switched on. Place
the helicopter on the ground so that the tail points towards the pilot. Move the thrust control all
the way forward and then all the way back in order to unlock the remote control. The remote
control will beep two times. Once the LEDs are continuously lit, the model is ready.
Attention!
Always place the Quadrocopter on an even horizontal surface – the control
electronics aligns its neutral position to the subsurface
(1C)
!
the safety height – fly at a height of at least 2 m as your quadrocopter loses height when rolling
over and has to be caught and corrected afterwards! Please note: Rolling is more successful when
the battery is still nearly full! Now climb to the safety height. If you press the right button on the
remote control
(2F)
, the remote control issues multiple short beeps. Now control with the right
controller and the quadrocopter executes a flip in the corresponding direction. Then be prepared
to catch the quadrocopter, as the altitude, direction and speed after the roll depend largely on the
wind and previous flight movements.

Once you have mastered your quadrocopter, you can try your hand at the flip function. For this
purpose, make sure that you have sufficient room in each direction (at least 3 m). Also observe
5 CAlIBRATIOn
If the Quadrocopter drifts or can only be trimmed with difficulty while flying (yawing), try to
calibrate your Quadrocopter. For this purpose, switch on the remote control and quadrocopter
(see instructions) and place the model on a level surface. The controller for thrust and rotation must
point backwards. Adjust the sensitivity of the remote control to ‘expert’ (3x beeps).
Now move the controller back as far as it will go and towards the left-hand corner and hold
it there. Move the controller for forwards/backwards and sideways forward and to the left and
hold it there for about 2 seconds. The LEDs on the Quadrocopter will briefly flash. Then the
calibration is finished.
6 CHAngIng THe pROpelleRs
If the Quadrocopter‘s rotor blades are damaged and must be replaced, proceed as follows:
• Before fitting the propellers, make sure they are not mixed up. The Quadrocopter has
4 different propellers, which differ in colour and markings on the bottom:
• Front right: Colour, marking 1
• Front left: Colour, marking 2
• Rear right: Black, marking 2
• Rear left: Black, marking 1
• Carefully pull the defective propeller off the shaft.
• Carefully fit the new propeller onto the shaft again.
TROuBlesHOOTIng
Problem: the propellers do not move.
Cause:
• The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The battery is too weak or depleted.
remedy:
• Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Charge the battery.
Problem: the Quadrocopter stops and descends during flight for no apparent rea-
son.
Cause:
• The battery is too weak.
remedy:
• Charge the battery.
Problem: It isn't possible to control the Quadrocopter using the control.
Cause:
• The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The batteries were not inserted correctly.
• The batteries do not have enough power.
remedy:
• Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Check whether the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Insert new batteries.
Problem: the Quadrocopter only turns on its vertical axis or rolls over when
started or does not lift off.
Cause:
• Incorrect arrangement of propellers.
remedy:
• Install the propellers as outlined in the manual.
Problem: Power lED of the remote control blinks and beeps.
Cause:
The remote control‘s batteries are flat.
remedy:
Insert new batteries.
