b) Folding the rotor arms in and out The propeller arms with the propellers and guards can be folded in for space-saving transport (see Figure 5A). The front and rear propeller arms on each side are mechanically interconnected and folded in and out together (see Figure 5B). -
Page 15: D) Inserting The Flight Battery
d) Inserting the flight battery Mount the flight battery (1) on the quadrocopter from above. It is important that the connection contacts (2) of the quad- rocopter engage securely in the connection socket (3) of the flight battery. The flight battery lock is taken over by two locking latches (4) on the sides of the flight battery. To remove the rechargeable battery, slightly press the two grooved surfaces (5) on the right and left of the flight bat- tery inwards and lift off the rechargeable battery. -
Page 16: E) Switching On The Quadrocopter
e) Switching on the quadrocopter So that the receiver in the quadrocopter can respond to the transmitter signals, the receiver and the transmitter must have the same digital coding (pairing). For this reason, it is important that you switch on the quadrocopter as described below. -
Page 17: F) Basic Information On Steering Quadrocopters
f) Basic information on steering quadrocopters Before starting your model for the first time, you should first familiarise yourself with the control features available to you to be able to control the model in a safe manner. The quadrocopter is controlled using the joystick on the remote control transmitter and the movement of the transmit- ter. The following functions are available: Pitch function With the pitch function, you can control the flight altitude of the quadrocopter (see Figure 9). Use the joystick for steer- ing (see also Figure 1, no. - Page 18 Yaw function The torques that act on the model are balanced by the two right-rotating and the two left-rotating propellers, and the quadrocopter hovers steadily in the air. When the joystick is moved to the left (see also Figure 1, no. 1), the model electronics speed up the propeller rotating to the right (clockwise) as viewed from above and simultaneously slow down the propeller rotating to the left (counter- clockwise).
- Page 19 Pitch function The pitch function allows you to move your quadrocopter forward and backward (see Figure 12). Move the remote control transmitter for steering. When the front of the transmitter is tilted downwards, the quadrocopter electronics change the propeller speeds so that the model tilts slightly forward and thus also flies forward (see arrows in Figure 12).

Page 20: G) Practical Flight Tips For The First Start
g) Practical flight tips for the first start Calibrate the position sensors before each start. The exact procedure is described in the following chapter. 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. When flying the quadrocopter outdoors for the first time, there should be absolutely no wind. Place yourself directly behind your quadrocopter. For as long as you see your model from behind, it will respond from your perspective to the right, left, forward and backward control commands just as you steer the transmitter. -
Page 21: Calibrating The Position Sensors
11. Calibrating the position sensors Before starting the quadrocopter, you should calibrate the position sensors. This ensures that the quadrocopter hovers smoothly at one spot and does not fly in one direction spontaneously and without a control command. Proceed as follows: First switch on the quadrocopter with the function button (2) and then place it on a flat, level horizontal surface. Then turn on the transmitter and push the joystick (1) com- pletely forward and then pull it back again. -
Page 22: Lifting Off The Quadrocopter
12. Lifting off the quadrocopter With the quadrocopter and transmitter switched on and the sensors successfully calibrated, the quadrocopter can be lifted off. Push the joystick completely forward and then pull it back again. The propellers will start to rotate at low speed. To stop the rotating propellers, move the joystick to the lowest position and hold it until the propellers stop. -
Page 23: Landing The Quadrocopter
13. Landing the quadrocopter There are two methods for landing the quadrocopter: Method 1: When the quadrocopter is hovering, carefully reduce the flight altitude with the joystick (see Figure 14, no. 1) until the quadrocopter stands safely on the ground. Once the quadrocopter has landed, move the joystick to the lowest position and hold it in this position until the propel- lers stop. -
Page 24: Beginner/Sport/Expert Mode Switching
14. Beginner/sport/expert mode switching 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 enabled when the remote control transmitter is switched on. In this flight mode, the quadrocopter responses 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 25: Flip Function
15. Flip function The quadrocopter can perform sideways flips, if necessary. You should perform the first flips outdoors when there is absolutely no wind. For this purpose, allow the quadrocopter to ascend to a safe altitude of approx. 2 – 3 m and then hover at one spot. To switch the transmitter to flip mode, press the joystick from above (see also Figure 1, no. -
Page 26: Flying In Headless Mode
16. Flying in headless mode The quadrocopter's direction of movement always depends 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, you can be confused quickly when you see the model from the side or the front, not from behind. -
Page 27: Return Function
17. Return function The quadrocopter has a return function which causes it to fly backwards automatically. Thus exactly in the opposite di- rection, which has been set as the forward direction when switching on (see white arrow in Figure 19A). As with head- less mode, it does not matter in which direction the front of the quadrocopter is currently oriented (see Figure 19B). Important! The return function should only be enabled if the quadrocopter has flown too far from the pilot in the previously defined forward direction and the pilot is in line with the quadrocopter facing forwards. If the... -
