INSTruCTIoNS For SaFe FlYINg
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 Unscrew the securing screw of the propeller anti-clockwise from the hub of the
propeller and carefully remove the defective propeller from the shaft.
9C Carefully fit the new propeller on the shaft and carefully screw the securing screw
on again in a clockwise motion.
9D Figure 9D shows a top view of the multicopter. The propellers are marked with a
small 1 or 2 on the underside in the centre. Please assemble as follows:

Flight direction
The rear side of the multicopter is where the battery cable was soldered to the
printed circuit board.

• 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 approxi-
mately one metre above the ground by
repeatedly tapping the thrust control.
Only then should the pilot practice
steering the multicopter left and right.

Problem: The propellers do not move.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The battery is too weak or depleted.
Remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Charge the battery.
Problem: The multicopter stops and descends during flight for no
apparent reason..
Cause: • The battery is too weak.
Remedy: • Charge the battery.
Problem: It isn't possible to control the multicopter using the
remote control.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The batteries were not inserted correctly.
• The batteries do not have enough power.
Remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Check whether the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Insert new batteries.
Problem: The multicopter only turns on its vertical axis or rolls over
when started.
Cause: • Incorrect arrangement of the propellers.
Remedy: • Install the propellers as outlined in the manual.
Problem: The multicopter won't fly a flip manoeuvre.
Cause: • Speed does not remain at 100%, battery too weak.
Remedy: Select speed level 100%, charge battery.
Problem: The monitor flickers.
Cause: • Battery in the monitor too weak.
Remedy: • Recharge the monitor.
Problem: The video image on the monitor does not play back.
Cause: • Incorrect switch-on sequence, battery too weak.
Remedy: • First switch on the monitor, then the video transmitter,
charge the battery.
