Takeo

Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model
fl ies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin fl ying the model.

Typical fl ight times for the included battery range from 3 to 4 minutes.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases and the
front and rear FC LEDs fl ash red, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.

LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Landing

To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover. After landing, hold the arm/disarm switch until the
motors have stopped, then remove the battery. Fully charge your battery before storing it. During storage, make sure the
battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
