Replacing the Propellers
It is recommended to use tweezers in order to replace the propellers. Use the tweezers to remove the propellers from the centre axle by
pulling it upwards. Then use a new propeller and insert this by pushing onto the axis.
Each propeller is engraved with a code to identify its location on the Drone.
Using the engraved code on the propeller, the propellers should match the below format:
Front (blue LED) left is A1/A2/A3/A4, right is B1/B2/B3/B4.
Back (red LED) left is B1/B2/B3/B4, right is A1/A2/A3/A4.

Flying the Ai Drone
The Drone can be flown in one of two ways, using the Juice Button with proximity sensors or advanced flying mode with
sensors deactivated. When learning to fly it is highly recommended you use the Juice Button method to fly the Drone, as
the patented sensor technology will allow for much easier flights.
Getting Started with the Juice Button!
Note, the Juice Button flight uses patented proximity sensors that will not operate in sunlight. This flight mode is therefore
not recommended outdoors or in bright direct sunlight. Hovering heights will vary as well on different surfaces, being
especially low on non-reflective surfaces (such as black carpet) and high on surfaces such as shiny white gloss paint. On
highly variable or changing surfaces it is recommended not to use the Juice Button start option.
1. Make sure that the Throttle Joystick (1) is positioned downwards (no throttle is given). Switch the handset Power Switch
(1) to ON. The Power Indicator LED (2) will start to flash.
2. Switch the Drone's ON/OFF Button (17) to ON, the Drone LED (18) will be illuminated.
3. Place the Drone on a flat surface, as detailed above and facing away from you (red Drone LED closest).
4. Move the Throttle Joystick (5) up and then back down again until the Power Indicator LED (2) stops flashing. The handset
is now paired with the Drone.
5. Press the Juice Button (7). The Drone will Auto Take-Off and Auto-Hover by itself at a height of around 1m. It is now over
to you to take control! You can press the Juice Button at any time for the Drone to Auto-Land
6. It is highly recommended that on initial flights you do not use the Throttle Joystick (5). Simply move and control the
Drone around using the Directional Joystick (6). Press the Directional Joystick (6) forward and backwards and the Drone
will move in that direction. Move to the left and right and the Drone will turn in that direction. The Drone will always stay at
approximately the same distance from the ground (Auto-Hover), so the novice pilot does not need to worry about the
height. This is the massive benefit the Ai Drone has over any other Drones on the market!
7. When you become a more experienced pilot, then you can use the Throttle Joystick (5) to move to your preferred height.
The Throttle Joystick (5) can also be used to rotate the Drone around its axis.
8. There are two speed options on the Ai Drone. Using the Speed Mode (20) button, the speed of the Ai Drone can be
switched between slow and fast modes (slow/fast).
9. The Ai Drone can perform flips using the Left Flip (3) and Backward Flip (4) buttons. Only perform flips when the Drone is
settled stationary in the air or ascending gently, otherwise the Drone will be difficult to control.
10. Press the Juice Button (7) at any time and the Drone will Auto-Land.
Emergency Stop press and hold down the Juice Button (7) if you loose control of the Drone at any time.
To land the Ai Drone press and release the Juice Button (7).
Auto-Stunt Operation
The Auto-Stunt Operation can only be activated when flight was started with the Juice Button. Press Auto-Stunt Button (8),
while the Drone is settled stationary in the air or gentle ascending, after taking off with the Juice Button. It is important
that there are no objects within 2m of the Drone in any direction and it has at least 1m above its hovering height.
Press the Auto-Stunt Button (8), the Drone turns around, moves slowly upwards, does a 360 degree flip, before moving
back down to its resting height (approximately 1m).
Press Auto-Stunt Button only when Drone is very still. If Drone is moving, it will become difficult to control after the flip.
Practice makes perfect!
Advanced Flying
The Drone can also be flown without any proximity sensors. Follow steps 1-5 in section Getting Started with the Juice
Button (7) then push the Throttle Joystick (5) forward and the Drone will take to the skies!
Not using the Juice Button (and hence deactivated proximity sensors during flights) does make flying more difficult, as you
need to control height (with Throttle Joystick (5)), as well as Direction (with Directional Joystick (6)). However there are
also advantages to this mode:
• The Drone can be used on un-even coloured or textured ground.
• The Drone can be flown outside in full sunlight.
You can move the Drone very close to the ground (below the 1m height determined by the sensors in Juice Button mode).
•
You can start flights by throwing the Drone into the air before immediately taking control. A spectacular trick, but only
•
recommended by experienced and highly skillful pilots! To do this you must use the Throttle Joystick (5) straight away once
you have thrown the Drone into the air.
Press and hold down for Emergency Stop.
Trimming the Drone
To get best performance for the Ai Drone, it is important to trim it. To adjust trimming we recommend:
When the Drone is flying forward, push the Backward Trim (14)
•
When the Drone is flying backward, push the Forward Trim (13)
•
• When the Drone is flying to the left side, push the Right Trim (12)
• When the Drone is flying to the right side, push the Left Trim (11)
• When the Drone is rotating to the left, push the Right Turn Trim (10)
• When the Drone is rotating to the right side, push the Left Turn Trim (9)
