The control for thrust must point down before switching on (6A). Then set the ON/OFF
switch (6B) on the remote control to the „ON" position and the Power LED begins to
blink. Connect the battery cable with the connecting cable (6C). Now the LEDs on the
multicopter begin to blink. Place the multicopter on the ground so that the tail faces
you and both propellers are towards the front. For the initialisation, the controller for
thrust must be briefly moved all the way up and then back down again. The Power
LEDs on the multicopter now illuminate continuously.
Attention! Make sure that you place your multicopter on a level surface – the control
electronics align their neutral position to the ground!
First switch the ON/OFF switch on the right-hand side to ON for video transmission
(6D). Now connect the battery's balancer connector to the white plug on the
Multicopter (6E). The video transmission will built up automatically in a few seconds.
7 TrIM aDJuSTMeNT oF The CoNTrol
The correct trim is a basic requirement for fault-free flying behaviour of the multicopter.
Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please observe
the following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the
multicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.
7A If the multicopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right ...
press the trim control for sideways incrementally in the opposite direction.
7B If the multicopter moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ...
press the trim adjustment for rotation incrementally in the opposite direction.
7C If the multicopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or
backwards ...
press the trim control for forwards/backwards incrementally in the opposite direction.

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying
behaviour of the multicopter! The direction information applies if the multicopter is
viewed from behind. If the multicopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved in
the opposite direction.
8A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust forward.
8B Land or decrease altitude by carefully pulling back the control for thrust
8C Fly forward by moving the RIGHT cControl for forwards/backwards carefully forward.
8D Fly backwards by carefully pulling back the control for forward/backward flight and
sideways flight.
8E Fly to the left by moving the control for forwards/backwards carefully to the left.
8F Fly to the right by moving the control for forward/backwards carefully to the right.
8G Turn helicopter around to the left by moving the control for rotation to the left.
8H Turn helicopter around to the right by moving the control for rotation to the right.

Higher flight speed
Each time you press the button on the left shoulder on the remote, the flight is
increased one increment of 50%, 60%, 80% and 100% (8I). Now the multicopter has
a greater tilt, which enables higher flight speed. Please do not use this function until
you have gained sufficient experience in the standard setting, because the
multicopter is very sensitive, which makes a fine touch necessary when controlling it.
Fly loops – advanced users only! When you have sufficiently mastered your
multicopter, you can try your hand at the stunt flying function. Make sure that you
have sufficient room in each direction (at least 10 metres). Also observe the safety
height – fly at a height of at least 5m, as your multicopter loses height when rolling
over and has to be caught and corrected afterwards!
Note: Flip is more successful when the battery capacity is near full.
Now climb to safety height. Press the flip button. The remote control beeps several
times. Now use the controller for forward/backward or sideways, and the multicopter
will do a flip in the respective direction. Be prepared to catch the multicopter, as the
flying height, direction and speed after rolling over depend heavily on the wind and
preceding flight movements.
Photo and video function
Flight videos can be recording to a micro SD memory card during flight. Briefly press
the lower button (8K) on the round button panel to the right of the monitor to take a
photo. Video recording is started by pressing the top button (8J) on the round button
panel. Pressing it again stops the recording.
In order to be able access the video, the memory card must be removed from the
video transmitter and inserted into the USB card reader (8L). The driver installs
automatically when it is inserted into any USB port on a computer. After the automatic
installation, photos and videos can be opened and edited.
