SAFETY WARNING – REMOVE ALL PROPELLERS FROM THE IFLY-4 DURING SETUP
1. Unfold and position the IFLY-4 in a stable horizontal position without the landing gear
installed.
2. Set your radio transmitter THROTTLE to LOWEST position – DO NOT CHANGE FROM THIS
LOWEST THROTTLE POSITION OR MOVE THE IFLY-4 AT ANY TIME DURING THE SETUP.
3. Switch ON your radio transmitter.
4. Install the flight battery and plug into the IFLY-4.
5. With THROTTLE LOW, move the RUDDER stick to the LEFT. Observe if the motors start to
spin slowly? If YES, your THROTTLE and RUDDER directions are correct. Go to step 8.
6. If the motors did not start, move your RUDDER stick to the RIGHT. Observe if the motors
start to spin slowly? If YES, your THROTTLE direction is correct, but your RUDDER direction
is reversed. REVERSE the RUDDER direction on your radio transmitter. Go to step 8.
7. If the motor did not start at all during step 5 or 6. Your THROTTLE direction is reversed.
REVERSE the THROTTLE direction on your radio transmitter and repeat from step 5.
8. You can stop the motors spinning at any time by moving the RUDDER in the opposite
direction to which turned the motors ON.
9. The next steps require the IFLY-4 to be in an ARMED state. To go into ARMED state, move
the THROTTLE to LOW (should be at that position already) and move the RUDDER LEFT
(momentarily), then return RUDDER to neutral.
10. Now move the ELEVATOR stick FORWARD. Observe if the REAR motors speed up? If YES,
your ELEVATOR direction is correct. If the front motors speed up instead, you need to
REVERSE the ELEVATOR direction on your radio transmitter.
11. Now move the AILERON stick LEFT. Observe if the RIGHT motors speed up? If YES, your
AILERON direction is correct. If the RIGHT motors speed up instead, you need to REVERSE
the AILERON direction on your radio transmitter.
12. Finally, you can only set the Flight Mode switch direction by carefully testing out during
initial flying.
