How to operate a drone (Mode2)

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the following methods before operating the drone.
Poor steering requires a lot of practice because it can cause damage and injury.

1. Set the front and rear sides of the drone apart and place it on a flat.
2. Press the controller's automatic take-off/landing button for more than 3 seconds to initiate drone flight.

Throttle UP Down		The drone rises when the throttle lever is raised and falls down when the throttle lever is lowered. If the throttle lever is lowered and landed on the ground during the flight, the motor will stop.
Rotation Left <--> Right		Turn the 'throttle lever' of the controller to the left, and the drone turns left. And Turn the 'throttle lever' of the controller to the right, and the drone turns right.
Forward and backward movement		Push forward the directional lever of the controller to move the drone forward. And push reverse the directional lever of the controller to move the drone reverse.
Right and Left movements Left <--> Right		Push the directional lever of the controller to the left to move the drone to the left And Push the directional lever of the controller to the Right to move the drone to the Right

Motor Start/Stop

You can start/stop the motor when it is not in flight.
Push both levers simultaneously as shown in the image and hold for at least 2 seconds.

Emergency stop

In the event of an emergency situation during flight, the emergency stop function can be used to stop the motor of the drone.
Press and hold the speed start/stop button and press the throttle lever down to make an emergency stop.

If the emergency stop function is used, the motor will stop and fall in the air, so the drone may be damaged.
Only operate the function in an emergency.

Headless Mode

Activate the 'headless mode' for beginners.
The 'headless mode' is fixed in the direction of the drone's operation, regardless of the direction of the drone's front or rear.

"Headless mode' On when the LED on the controller flashes by pressing and holding the F button while landing
'Headless mode' off when the controller's LED illuminates brightly by pressing and holding the B button while landing.


'Headless mode' on/off can only be changed when landing; it cannot be changed during flight. When the headless mode is turned on by pressing the button, the direction the drone is facing is fixed forward.

Change Mode

Settings allow you to change to mode1 or mode2.
Pressing and holding the Ltrim button for more than 3 seconds while landing mode1 Pressing and holding the RTRIM button for more than 3 seconds while landing mode2

The default state is set to mode2 and if you change the mode, Be sure to familiarize yourself with the operation of that mode before flying.

Rotate 360 degrees (Mode)

When the start button is pressed and held, the controller will continuously beep.

Rotate Forward: up the rudder. Rotate Back: Turn the Directional Levers Down Left Rotation: The rudder is left. Right Rotation: The directional lever to the right

Propeller Repacement

Periodically check the propeller status of the drones and replace them with new ones if damaged/damaged.

1. The drone has four propellers. Among them, yellow represents the front.
2. Refer to the image and make sure that the direction of rotation is the matching propeller.
3. IMPORTANT: Normal flight is not possible if the propeller is not in the correct direction.
   

To Charge

1. Disconnect the battery out of the drone. The included charging via the charger usb.
2. charging, the charging is completed, and indicators illuminated indicator will extinguish.

A continuous beep sound from the controller during flight indicates that the drone's battery is running low. Charge the battery after landing.

Guides and caveats for first-time users

• Make sure the battery is fully charged.
• Make sure the propeller is correctly installed.
• Make sure that the control and the drones are connected as normal.
• Make sure there are no obstructions in the area.
• Practice the drones first for take-off and landing and emergency stop functions.
• Use a distance of more than 2 meters from the drone.

1. To practice take-off and landing

1. Place the drone on a flat surface and prepare for flight.
2. Press the automatic take-off/landing button of the controller for more than 3 seconds to take off.
3. The drone hovers.
4. During flight, press and hold the automatic take-off/landing button on the controller for more than 3 seconds to land. Please also be familiar with the emergency stop function in case of emergency.
   
   

2. To practice throttle lever

1. Place the drone on a flat surface and prepare for flight.
2. Press the automatic take-off/landing button of the controller for more than 3 seconds to take off.
3. The drone hovers.
4. During flight, press and hold the automatic take-off/landing button on the controller for more than 3 seconds to land.
   
   Please also be familiar with the emergency stop function in case of emergency.
   

3. To practice directional control (Mode2)
   1. Use the right-hand lever to slowly push forward/backward to practice front/backward control in the air.
   2. Practice pushing the levers slowly to the left and right, as shown above.
      

4. Practice of rotation (Mode 2)
   1. Slowly raise the left throttle lever to maintain altitude in the air.
   2. Adjust the throttle lever to maintain constant altitude and slowly slide the throttle lever to the left or right to rotate.
      
      If not in headless mode, the drone rotates and changes direction, so be aware of your flight.

5. Precision Control Exercise
   Once you are familiar with the preceding "practicing, " practice your flight with a combination of fine-tuning and fine-tuning the various commandments in the air.
   

6. Trim
   Take off the drone in a windless environment to see if it is flowing in the air.
   1. Forward/Reverse Moving Trim: When a drone flows forward in the air without any operation Press the B button on the controller to adjust the trim. Conversely, if it flows backwards in midair without any control, press the F button on the controller to open the trim. Adjust it.
   2. Left/Right Trim: When a drone flows from the air to the left without any operation Press the R button on the controller to adjust the trim. Conversely, if you're moving in midair to the right, press the L button on the controller. Adjust the trim.

   
   NOTE: The controller will beep whenever the trim button is pressed. Once the maximum value of the trim setting is reached, there will be no more beeps. If normal flight is difficult even with trim setting, reset the drone sensor. (Press the drone on a level surface and briefly press the controller's power button to reset the sensor.)
   

7. Rotate 360 degrees (Mode2)

• Make sure you have enough free space before turning 360 degrees.
  
  Press and hold the LED/FLIP button on the right side of the detector to hear a beep.
  
  Push the right-hand lever in the desired direction and the drone rotates 360 degrees in that direction.
  

8. Sensor Reset
   If the drone is tilted to one side after the trim setting, or the drone does not fly normally, proceed to reset the sensor. With the drone and the controller connected, place the drone on a flat floor and press and hold the controller reset button to proceed with sensor reset.

Drone during the sensor reset led starts blinking, reset is complete, the brightly lit again.
