❏ Always turn the transmitter off last • Bind your transmitter • Familiarize yourself with the controls • Find a suitable area for flying Installing the Propellers 1. Refer to the illustration for the proper motor rotation and propeller location. 2. The propellers have “CW” or “CCW” marked on one blade to show proper location and rotation. Match the propeller location to the illustration. 3. Secure the propellers using the provided lock nuts. Do not overtighten the nuts as damage to the propellers or motors may result.

Before each flight, ALWAYS power on the transmitter before connecting the flight battery to the quadcopter. After each flight, disconnect the flight battery from the quadcopter before powering off the transmitter. NOTICE: Connecting the flight battery before powering on the transmitter can start the binding process. Please see the Transmitter and Receiver Binding section of this manual for more information. 2. When the ESC beeps, the flight controller is initialized and ready for flight. The flight controller will not arm the motors until the throttle stick is in the lowest possible position. -
Page 8: Flight Mode And Rate Selection
Flight Mode and Rate Selection • In angle mode (switch position 0), the quadcopter will self-level and has a bank angle limit of approximately 60 degrees. • In air mode (switch position 1), the quadcopter will not self-level and does not have a bank angle limit. At low throttle, the flight controller will continue to stabilize the quadcopter to hold whatever attitude was last commanded. This mode is use- ful for flying smooth aerobatic maneuvers at both high and low throttle settings. • In acro mode (switch position 2 ), the quadcopter will not self-level and does not have a bank angle limit. At low throttle, the flight controller will not stabilize the quadcopter. The pilot must actively control the quadcopter to maintain a desired at- titude. This mode is most preferred when immediate changes in altitude are desired, such as in racing. Use rates and expo to tune the performance according to your flying style. Refer to the Transmitter Setup for transmitter switch selection and specific setup information. Flying the Scimitar LRX Quadcopter Takeoff When you are prepared to fly, start the motors by activating the motor arm switch (switch H), as programmed in the transmitter setup section. Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model flies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin flying the model. Flight times for the included battery will vary according to how aggressively the throttle is used. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low. When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage. -
