Now You Are Ready To Fly; Recognizing The Front & Back Of The Spyder Xl; How To Start/Stop Rotors; Speed Select Button - Propel RC SPYDER XL Instruction Booklet

NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!

If you have successfully synced your Spyder XL™ to your controller as explained on page 4 you are now
ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how to start and stop
the rotors, how to use your auto land feature and how the controls work so please carefully read and
familiarize yourself with various control features explained in the next few pages. Once again as a beginner
pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on a day with zero or very
light wind. Do not try to fly your Spyder XL™ too high until you become a more experience pilot.
RECOGNIZING THE FRONT & BACK OF THE SPYDER XL™
Even though the Spyder XL™ has four rotors there is still a front or "forward" facing direction and "back" or
backwards facing direction. The Front and forward facing direction of the Spyder XL™ is the side with two
EYES (see diagram E ). The rear and back of the Quadrocopter is the side with battery compartment (see
diagram E).
NOTE: The front of the Quadrocopter also displays WHITE LED light and the back of the Quadrocopter displays
RED LED lights.

HOW TO START/STOP ROTORS

Make sure you have properly synced the Spyder XL™ and the power is on.
• To start and stop the rotors simply move the two control sticks either simultaneously down and to the
inside or down and to the outside corners and hold for one second (see illustration below).
Note: Either position will both start and stop the rotors so use the position you are most comfortable with.
• Once the rotors begin to spin, release the control sticks and they will return to the center position. Now
you are ready for take-off.

SPEED SELECT BUTTON

The Spyder XL™ has 3 speed settings; 1 (SLOW), 2 (MEDIUM) and 3 (HIGH). The Default setting when you
first turn on your Spyder XL™ is the 1 (SLOW) speed mode. To increase the speed simply trigger the speed
setting button (see remote diagram on pg 3) you will hear a beep and the speed setting indicator on the
face of the controller will show you what speed setting you are on. Speed settings can be set before flight
or during the flight.
AUTO LAND BUTTON /AUTO TAKE OFF
The Spyder XL™ has an auto land and auto take off feature which allows you to land or take off
automatically. Simply press the Auto Land Button and your Spyder XL™ will begin land or take off by itself.
Note: you can still control the direction while auto landing or taking off to avoid obstacles

3 CHANNEL VS 4 CHANNEL FLYING

Propels unique "switch-blade" technology allows you to choose between 3ch or 4ch flight control modes.
Most people with no experience in flying multi copters may find 3ch easier to learn at first as controls are
set up to simply move forward, back, turn left and turn right. 4channel flying gives the operator ultimate
control by adding two more dimensions of flight, banking left and banking right.
To change to 3 Channel mode:
Switch the 3/4 CH. button to left side on the back of controller (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will hear
3 "beeps" indicating the Spyder XL™ now is set to 3 CH. mode.
To change to 4 Channel mode:
Switch the 3/4 CH. button to right side on the back of controller (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will
hear 4 "beeps" indicating the Spyder XL™ now is set to 4 CH. mode.
3 CHANNEL FLIGHT CONTROL
Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote to control the Spyder XL™. While learning
to fly your Spyder XL™ it is best to start in a large space with the drone facing away from you until you get
used to the basic controls. As you master flying your Spyder XL™ you can move to more advanced
maneuvering techniques. Practice makes perfect! When you have these basic steps down you can move to
the next level.
Move the left Throttle stick up to increase the
propeller speed and the Spyder XL™ will
accelerate and ascend.
Move the left Throttle stick down to decrease the
propeller speed and the Spyder XL™ will
decelerate and descend (see diagram F).
While in the air, move the right Direction Stick up
and the Spyder XL™ will move forward.
Move the right Direction Control down and the
Spyder XL™ will move backward (see diagram G).
While in the air, move the right Direction Control left
and the Spyder XL™ will spin to the left.
Move the right Direction Control right and the
Spyder XL™ will spin to the right (see diagram H).
