6.1 Power-Up Safety Protocol

6 FLIGHT

Your aircraft has a power-up safety protocol. When both your remote control and the aircraft are powered on, the aircraft motors will not start up unless an arming signal is detected.

The transmitter will beep and the aircraft's LEDs stop blinking to indicate that two are properly bound.

Low battery alarm: When the aircraft battery is low, the aircraft's two red LEDs flash simultaneously. The aircraft automatically descends from a height of 5 meters or less.

6.1.3 Aircraft Status Indicator

6.1.2 Push the battery into the battery compartment as shown in the figure, connect the power adapters, coil the power cord into the aircraft and close the battery compartment.

6.1.1 Power on the remote and watch the aircraft parameters appear on the remote control screen. Please do not touch any joysticks or buttons before the transmitter and the aircraft finish pairing, otherwise the aircraft may roll over.

Page 12

6.2 Headless Mode

To access Headless Mode, *first* make sure that you “set” a forward direction. Say, you'd like to consider due North as your “forward” direction. Have the drone's head facing North- then and only then, initiate Headless mode. During Headless Mode, the aircraft's blue LEDs will be flashing together simultaneously. The "Headless" symbol will also come on-screen.

-Joystick sensitivity: dependent how much and how forcefully each joystick is pulled or pushed away from center point

6.3 Basic Flight Operation

Page 13

REMOTE CONTROL

AIRCRAFT

The throttle is used to control the ascent and descent of the aircraft. Push the throttle up and the aircraft ascends. Pull the throttle back and the aircraft descends. When the joystick is centered (unmoving), the aircraft will hold its altitude in the air. The throttle must be pushed upwards beyond center point for the aircraft to completely takeoff from the ground. The harder the throttle is pushed, the faster the aircraft will ascend. Please push the throttle slowly for a gradual lift and to prevent the aircraft from ascending erratically.

The rudder is used to control the aircraft's rotations. Push the joystick to the left and the aircraft rotates counterclockwise. Push the joystick to the right and the aircraft rotates clockwise. When the joystick is centered (unmoving), the angular velocity of the aircraft is "0" and the aircraft will not turn. How hard the rudder is pushed will determine the angular velocity of the aircraft's rotation. The harder the rudder is pushed, the faster the aircraft rotates.

The elevator controls the aircraft's forward and backward movement. Push the joystick forward and the aircraft will tilt and fly forward. Pull the joystick back and the aircraft will tilt and fly backwards. When the joystick is centered (unmoving), the aircraft will hold its altitude in the air. How hard the elevator is pushed will determine the degree of the aircraft's tilt and therefore the velocity of its forward and backward movement. The harder the elevator is pushed, the greater the aircraft's tilt angle and flight speed either forwards or backwards.

Note: Pilots may also disarm the aircraft motors by holding the throttle in its lowest position after the aircraft has completed its descent on the ground.

6.4 Arming/Disarming the Motors

Arming/starting motors

Simultaneously pull the transmitter joysticks diagonally down-out to arm the motors (as shown in the side figure).

Disarming/stopping motors

Simultaneously pull the transmitter joysticks diagonally down-out to disarm the motors (as shown in the side figure).

Please disarm the motors first before turning off the remote. If you turn off the remote first, the aircraft will attempt to perform a landing.

REMOTE CONTROL

AIRCRAFT

The aileron controls the aircraft's left and right movement. Push the joystick to the left and the aircraft will tilt and fly leftwards. Pull the joystick to the right and the aircraft will tilt and fly rightwards. When the joystick is centered (unmoving), the aircraft will hold its altitude in the air. How hard the aileron is pushed will determine the degree of the aircraft's tilt and therefore the velocity of its left and right movement. The harder the aileron is pushed, the greater the aircraft's tilt angle and flight speed either leftwards or rightwards.
