Understanding the Primary Flight Controls
If you are not familiar with the controls of your quadcopter, take a few minutes to
familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
Throttle
Rudder
Elevator
Aileron
Flight Mode Selection
Change flight modes by pressing different buttons on the transmitter. The quadcopter
is in stability mode when first powered on. The active flight mode is indicated by the
LEDs at bottom of the quadcopter.
Mode
LEDs
Agility (button D with one click)
Solid Red LED
Stability (button D with two clicks)
Solid Red and Green LEDs
Altitude (button A)
Solid Green LED
•
Agility mode: the quadcopter has no bank angle limits and will not return to level
fight if the sticks are released. Use rates and expo to tune the performance
according to your flying style.
•
Stability mode: the bank angle is limited. When the sticks are released, the
quadcopter will return to level flight.
•
Altitude mode: maintains altitude. Before change to altitude mode, please make
sure the aircraft remains steady. The bank angle is limited. When the sticks are
released, the quadcopter will return to level flight.
•
Quick Invert: won’t respond when throttle too low or battery voltage too low.
•
Quick Return: keep throttle lowest.
Fly the Quadcopter
Takeoff
Arm the motors by pressing the arming switch. Increase the throttle until the model is
approximately 2ft.(600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and concentrate on
balancing the throttle stick’s position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover
altitude. In some cases, you may need to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just
a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required
to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
Hovering
The quadcopter requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover.
Remember to keep these throttle adjustments as minimal as possible. Large
adjustments could result in a loss of control or a possible crash.
While attempting to establish a low-level hover, check to see if any trim adjustments
are required to keep the quadcopter from drifting in various directions. If you find that
it constantly drifts without any directional control input, land the model before making
any adjustments to the trim settings.
• If the nose of the quadcopter rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim in
the opposite direction.
• If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim
in the opposite direction.
• If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim in the
opposite direction.
Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with
very little drifting and directional control input. If this is your first multicopter or helicopter,
seek the help of an experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your first
flight.
With your quadcopter properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover,
practice using the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the
machine’s responses to control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as
minimal as possible.
Average flight times are approximately 6 minutes.
Landing
To land the quadcopter, establish a low level hover. Slowly lower the throttle until the
quadcopter touches down.
After landing, press the arming button to disarm the motors. Unplug and remove the
flight battery.
To prevent excessive wear to the motors, always allow the motors to cool between
flights.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
Low Voltage Cutoff(LVC)
Once the battery reaches 3V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power
supplied to the motor until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent overdischarge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately once the ESC activates LVC.
Continuing to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash
damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Repeatedly flying the aircraft until LVC activates will damage the flight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle
discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per.
Battery Level Indicator
When first powered on, the quadcopter indicates the charge level of the flight battery
by lighting the LED that at top of the quadcopter briefly.
