Batteries & Charging Battery Charging Procedure The craft’s battery must be charged before the unit can be flown. Before charging, be sure the hexacopter and remote control are powered off. Failure to do so may result in injury. Using the included charging cable, connect to the USB port of a powered on computer or USB power adaptor (not included) to charge the unit.
Pre-Flight Calibration Craft/Remote Link Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together, and the gyroscopes on the craft must be allowed to calibrate to ensure smooth and level flight. Begin with the craft and remote powered OFF. Step 1 Place the craft on a flat and level surface.
Step 4 Push the Left Control Stick directly forward, wait for a chime to sound, then pull the stick directly backward, and wait for a second chime. When this last chime has sounded, the craft is calibrated and ready to fly. Step 5 Attempt a stable hover, low to the surface you started on.
Trim Adjustment Setting Trim & Countering Drift Even after the craft is calibrated, it may show a tendency to drift while airborne. Adjusting the trim will help counter this effect and allow you to better control the craft. To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while in a stable hover, and do not make any sudden movements with the flight controls.
Flying Tips & Features Tips for Safe Operation • Only fly in large, open spaces, such as a field or a very large indoor area, free of obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc. • When flying indoors, avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft will be drawn towards them if closer than 2 to 3 feet.
Flips & Tricks Before attempting any stunts, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, ideally 9 to 10 ft. in every direction. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage. To perform a flip, follow the diagram below.
