GENERAL FLyING TIPS:
• Always place the multicopter on a level
surface. An inclined surface can, under
certain circumstances, have a negative
impact on the starting behaviour of the
multicopter.
• Always operate the controls slowly and
with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
multicopter and do not look at the remote
control!
• Move the thrust control down again
somewhat as soon as the multicopter lifts
off from the ground. Maintain flying
altitude by adjusting the thrust controller.
• If the multicopter lowers, move the thrust
control slightly upward again.
• If the multicopter climbs, move the thrust
controller down slightly.
BATTERy STATUS:
• If the multicopter begins to lose thrust or the LED on the underside begins to blink,
the battery is depleted. Land in order to avoid crashing.
ATTENTION!
Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory liability
insurance since 2005. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your
new and earlier models are included in your insurance coverage. Request written
confirmation and keep this in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial
membership free of charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.
9 ChaNgINg The prOpellerS
If the rotor blades of the multicopter are damaged, they must be replaced. Proceed as
follows:
9A Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the propellers.
The multicopter has 4 different propellers, which differ in colour and direction of
rotation. If the propellers are mixed up, the multicopter will not fly.
The two blue propellers are in front.
9B Carefully pull the propeller off the shaft.
9C Now carefully fit the new propeller on the shaft.

Rear left: white B
Flight direction
The rear of the multicopter is the end where the battery compartment is located.

• To fly along a curve, tapping the
directional controller very slightly in the
respective direction often suffices. There
is a general tendency during preliminary
attempts at flight to operate the
multicopter's controls too aggressively.
Always operate the controls slowly and
carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming
before attempting to master the thrust
controller. The multicopter does not
necessarily have to fly straight at the
beginning - initially, it is more important
to maintain a constant height of
approximately one metre above the
ground by repeatedly tapping the thrust
control. Only then should the pilot
practice steering the multicopter left and
right.
