adjustments to correc t the driving. Trim
adjustments are sometimes needed when the
drone is f irst flown af ter purchase. See TRIM
ADJUSTMENTS section for details.
• Practice launching, hovering and landing before
attempting t o learn other moves.
• Flying 2 to 3 feet above the ground will reduce
ground turbulence and make flying easier.
• When first attempting to fly in different
directions, st art by tapping the direction stick
until you have a feel for it. Always move controls
slowly until you become comfortable operating
the drone.
• Once you’ve mastered flying in directions,
practice rot ational controls. Spinning and
keeping drone facing the same direction as you

down or auto land immediately. Do not attempt
to fly until obstruction has been removed and
damage fixed.
• Should something prevent drone’s blades fr om
spinning, drone may auto shutdown. LiPo
battery will need to be unplugged then
reconnected to restore flying power.

FLIGHT SENSITIVITY SWITCH
The Drone’s responsiveness may be adjusted on the Controller to match your fl ying skills.
There are three choices: 1 LOW sensitivit y 2 MEDIUM sensitivit y 3 HIGH sensitivit y
It is best to start in the low sensi tivity position until you have mastered fl ying. Flight sensitivi ty
can be adjusted before or during flight.

FOR BETTER STUNT PERFORMANCE
Blade guards are great for beginners and are highly recommended
when first learning how to fly a drone. Blade guards add weight and
reduce the drone’s agility. For maximum flight and stunt
performance, blade guards should be removed. When flying in Flight
Sensitivity Mode 3, blade guards should be removed.
TRIM ADJUSTMENTS
If the drone drif ts in any direction while hovering (and you are not pressing the direction stick), you may need to make trim adjustments.
Press the recommended trim button as described below to make adjustments.
Tip 1: When the remote LED flashes 3 times quickly, the trim will revert back to middle of trim range.
Tip 2: If you are uncomfortable trimming the drone in flight, you can land onto a flat surface and make your trim adjustments.

ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED
Befor e each use, an adult should check this product and the LiPo battery to ensure no damage or
hazards exist. Drone has rotating blades that move at high speed, posing danger of damage and
injury. Pilots are responsible for any actions that result in damage or injury from the improper
operation of drone. Adequate flying space is required. Avoid flying near interior fans and/or vents as
they may make flying difficult to control. Keep a safe distance away from streets, public thoroughfares and power lines. Never attempt to retrieve drone fr om any location higher than your reach
(such as rooftops or trees) or from any location t hat poses a safety hazar d. Never fly drone at night.
Keep drone in sight at all times during operation. Discontinue operation immediately if drone flies out
of your field of view. Do not fly near spectators or animals. Keep spinning rotors away from fingers,
hair, eyes and other body parts. Always launch from a flat surface. Never leave drone unattended
while it is turned on. Read all enclosed information befor e operating.
