Tips for Safe Operation
• Only fly in large, open spaces, such as a field or a very large indoor area, free of
obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc.
• When flying indoors, avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft will be drawn towards
them if closer than 2 to 3 feet.
• Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that it and you are facing the same
“forward” direction. This will make it easier to determine which direction it is
flying. Also, remember that the green LED lights indicate the front of the craft.
• Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing.
• Flying inside, at low speed and low to the ground will reduce the chance of
turbulence that can negatively affect the stable flight of the craft.
• Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately, using one control
at a time, to get used to the craft’s flying characteristics. Next, try combining the
pitch and roll controls (forward/backward and left/right on the Right Control
Stick) to fly the craft similar to the way an airplane flies. After mastering this, try
the yaw controls (left/right on the left thumbstick) to spin the craft in place and
perform more complex maneuvers.
• If anything obstructs the rotors for any reason, throttle down IMMEDIATELY and
safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.
Speed Setting
The craft has three settings for the responsiveness of the flight controls: 30%, 60%,
and 100%. The higher settings allow for faster and more precise control of the craft. It
is recommended to start with the lowest setting, then as you become more skilled at
flying, increase the sensitivity as you see fit.
• 30%: Intended for novice pilots. Gives smooth and predictable control.
• 60%: Intended for intermediate pilots. The craft will move and respond faster to
all control inputs.
• 100%: Intended for expert pilots. Highest setting for maximum performance.
Flying Tips & Features
Auto-Reverse
To enable Auto-Reverse, press down (into the body of the remote) on the Right
Control Stick. The remote will emit a chime, and the craft will begin flying in the
reverse of the direction it was originally flying. Throttle control will still function, and
any directional change from the Right Control Stick will disable Auto-Reverse flight.
