Aircraft Functions and Features
One Key Return
The aircraft can be made to return in a fixed
direction by pressing and holding the return
button for 3 seconds. When the aircraft is
turned on it will remember the direction it is
oriented and upon activation of the Smart

direction.
NOTE: Be careful to orientate the aircraft with the rear tail facing towards you
if you want the aircraft to fly back towards you using the smart return mode.
You can retake full control of the aircraft at any time by moving the control
sticks. The aircraft will not return to where it started, it will simply move in the
direction it was orientated when turned on.
Flip Stunt Mode

mode. The controller will bleep until a stunt
has been selected using the right hand

seconds. This will make the aircraft fly
without a front or rear. It will fly in the
orientation of the pilot. If you move the
right joystick right, the aircraft will fly right.
Move the joystick left and it will fly left. Move the joystick forwards and the
aircraft will fly away from you and pull it back to make it fly towards you. It
does not matter which direction the drone is facing in headless mode.
