FLIGHT PREPARATION
• Verify that there are 6 “AA” batteries installed the remote control unit and the Cloud Force 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 Cloud Force, 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 CLOUD FORCE
Important! When syncing your Cloud Force 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 Cloud Force 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 Cloud Force. Make
sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.
2. Turn on your Cloud Force and set it down on any 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 also be flashing.
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). When pulling the stick down to the bottom you should hear a
high-pitched beep and the lights on both the drone and the controller should stop flashing and become
solid. If the lights on both the
successfully synced your Cloud Force 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.
• TIP 2: Syncing your drone indoors or in the shade will make it easier to see the LED
light indicators on both the controller and the drone.
