Page 5: Product Description
5. Product description The ready-to-fly “TQ Performance Drone” IR quadrocopter features 4 separately controlled motors, each of which drives its own propeller. Using the simultaneous acceleration of all propellers, the quadrocopter can lift off from the ground and, at appropriate propeller speeds, hover steadily in the air. For in-flight stabilisation, the quadrocopter has sophisticated electronics with position and acceleration sensors (6- axle gyro) allowing uncontrolled movements of the model to be detected and compensated for immediately. The quadrocopter is equipped with an air pressure sensor so that it can stabilise its flight altitude itself. -

Page 10: Using The Transmitter
9. Using the transmitter The numbers used in these instructions refer to the figure alongside the text or the figures within the re- spective section. Cross-references to other figures are indicated with the corresponding figure number. a) Inserting the batteries Three AAA/Micro batteries are required to power the transmitter (not included and must be ordered separately). Important! Use only standard batteries (1.5 V/cell) and not rechargeable batteries (1.2 V/cell) as the power supply for the transmitter. -
Page 11: B) Switching On The Transmitter
b) Switching on the transmitter After inserting the batteries, check the correct function of the transmitter: To do this, briefly press the on/off button (2). The transmitter will emit a beep and the LED indicator light (10) will flash faster. Now move the joystick for the pitch function (9) to the high- est position and then immediately to the lowest position. -
Page 12: Operating The Quadrocopter
10. Operating the quadrocopter a) Charging the quadrocopter rechargeable battery The quadrocopter rechargeable battery can be charged using the included USB charging cable. The charging cable in Figure 4 is wound up for photo-technical reasons. Before first use, remove the cable tie and fully unwind the charging cable. Charging: Connect the USB plug of the charging cable (1) to a USB port of a computer/laptop or a USB charger plug. -
Page 13: B) Checking The Drive
b) Checking the drive Before starting the quadrocopter, test the drive. Only when all four propellers run smoothly and in a perfect circle can the model be flown with the minimum energy consump- tion. For this reason, you should check the function of the drive propellers quickly before each flight. -
Page 14: D) Switching On The Quadrocopter
d) Switching on the quadrocopter The receiver in the quadrocopter must learn the digital coding of the transmitter to be able to respond to the transmitter signals. For this reason, it is important that you switch the quadrocopter on as described below. First, slide the charged quadrocopter rechargeable bat- tery (1) into the quadrocopter according to the previous description. -
Page 15: E) Basic Information On Controlling Quadrocopters
e) Basic information on controlling quadrocopters Before you fly your model, you should first familiarise yourself with the control possibilities in order to operate it safely. The quadrocopter is controlled via the two joysticks on the remote control transmitter. The following functions are available: Pitch function With the pitch function you can control the flying height of the helicopter (see Figure 8). Steering is done with the left joystick (see also Figure 1, no. 9). When the motors are started by remote control, they run at idle speed. If you now push the joystick slightly forward from its middle position, the quadrocopter will take off and hover over the launch point at a height of approx. - Page 16 Yaw function The torques that act on the model are balanced by the two right-turning and the two left-turning propellers, and the quadrocopter hovers steadily in the air. If you move the left joystick (see Figure 1, no. 9) to the left, the electronics in the model increase the speed of the propellers that turn to the right (clockwise, as seen from above) and at the same time reduce the speed of the propel- lers turning to the left (anti-clockwise).
- Page 17 Bob function The bob function allows you to move your model helicopter forward and backward (see Figure 11). This steering is also done with the right joystick (see also Figure 1, no. 3). If you push the stick forwards slightly, the electronics in the quadrocopter change the propeller speeds so that the model tilts slightly forwards and thus also flies forwards.

Page 18: F) Practical Flight Tips For The First Start
f) Practical flight tips for the first start Although the model can be flown in a very confined space, we recommend using an unobstructed space of approx. 3 x 3 m for the first flight attempts. Place yourself directly behind your quadrocopter. For as long as the tail with the green LED is pointing towards you, and you see your model from behind, it will respond from your perspective to the right, left, forward and backward control commands just as you see it. -
Page 19: I) Trimming The Quadrocopter
i) Trimming the quadrocopter If, after starting, you quickly notice that the quadrocopter is moving in a certain direction without a control command from the transmitter, you can minimise the movement with the aid of the trimming function. Every time a trim button is pushed, the trim is adjusted by one step and the adjustment confirmed by a short beep. When the button is pressed and held, the transmitter emits a continuous sequence of beeps to indicate the step-by-step adjustment of the trim. - Page 20 Bob trimming: If the quadrocopter tends to drift forward, repeatedly press the lower trim button for the pitch function (see also Figure 1, no. 6) until the model no longer has a tendency to drift forward. If the quadrocopter tends to drift backwards, press the upper trim button for the pitch function (see also Figure 1, no.

Page 21: Switching Between Beginner/Sport/Expert Mode
11. Switching between beginner/sport/expert mode With beginner/sport/expert mode switching, the remote control allows you to individually adjust the control sensitivity of the quadrocopter (dual rate function). The following modes are available: Beginner mode: Beginner mode is automatically activated when the remote control transmitter is switched on. In this flight mode, the quadrocopter responds less sensitively to the control commands from the transmitter and can therefore be controlled very delicately. This mode is ideal for beginners flying the quadrocopter for the first time. -
Page 22: Flip Function
12. Flip function The quadrocopter is also designed to do flips, if desired. For this purpose, allow the quadrocopter to ascend to a safe altitude of approx. 1.5 – 2 m and then hover at one spot. To switch the transmitter to flip mode, press the push but- ton for the flip function (see also Figure 1, no. 7). Once the transmitter has switched to flip mode, it will con- tinuously emit short beeps for approx. 3 seconds. Now quickly move the joystick for the pitch and roll func- tion (see also Figure 1, no. 3) as far as it will go in the direction in which the quadrocopter should flip and then immediately pull the joystick back to the middle position. -
Page 23: Flying In Headless Mode
13. Flying in headless mode The quadrocopter's direction of movement is always dependent on the direction in which the model is oriented with respect to the pilot or the side from which the pilot is looking at the quadrocopter. Therefore, it can be confusing to see the model from the side or the front, not from behind. -
Page 24: Calibrating The Position Sensors
To switch on headless mode, press the joystick for the pitch and roll function from above (see also Figure 1, no. To indicate that headless mode has been activated, the transmitter emits a short beep. The quadrocopter LEDs will flash slowly, signalling that the quadrocopter is flying in headless mode. To switch off headless mode again, press the joystick for the pitch and roll function from above again. -
Page 25: Switching The Digital Transmitter Coding
15. Switching the digital transmitter coding If two “TQ Performance Drone” IR quadrocopters are to be operated in one room, the IR remote controls will interfere with each other. For this reason, it is possible to switch the digital coding of the control impulses on one of the two transmitters. -
Page 26: Maintenance And Cleaning
16. Maintenance and cleaning Clean the exterior of the model and the remote control with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Never use abrasive cleaning agents or chemical solutions, as these may damage the surface of the case. The propellers must move smoothly and motor shafts should not be bent or have any play in the bearing. Propellers that are cracked or bent or from which small pieces have broken off must always be replaced. -
