WARNING

DO NOT FLY YOUR SKY RAIDER™ IN FOUL WEATHER!

FLIGHT PREPARATION

• Verify that there are 3 “AA” batteries installed the remote control unit and the Sky Raider™ battery has

been fully charged.

• Make sure to be in a large open space preferably a field or a park with an open radius of at least 200 feet.

• Make sure to start your drone on a clean flat level surface before take-off.

•

IMPORTANT! Until you have experience in flying your Sky Raider™, it is not advised to use in any

rate of wind. Wait until a zero wind day or extremely light wind when learning how to fly.

SYNCING YOUR SKY RAIDER™

Important! When syncing your Sky Raider™ with the controller always make sure that the drone is
on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This insures that
the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to respond to your trim settings. Your Sky Raider™ utilizes an

automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side in the same wireless
range with no interference.

1. Before starting, make sure that the power switch is off both on your controller and the Sky Raider™.
Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.

2. Turn on your Sky Raider™ and set it down on a flat surface. The red and white LED lights of the drone
should begin to flash repeatedly.

3. Quickly turn ON the remote and you will notice that the red LED light on the face of the controller
should light up and stay solid. The “Battle Indicator” will flash once then off . The lights on the drone

will flash slower.

4. Push the left control stick all the way up until it stops and then pull it back all the way down to the
bottom(see illustration below). You will hear 2 high-pitched beeps when pulling the throttle up and
down. The lights on the drone should stop flashing and become solid. If the lights on both the drone and
the controller have stopped flashing and become solid you have successfully synced your Sky Raider™
and are ready to fly. If the lights on the controller or the drone are still flashing repeat steps 1-4 again.

TIP 1: try not to leave too much time between turning on the drone and the

•

controller or your syncing window will time-out.
