Page 13: Commissioning Of The Quadrocopter
Commissioning of the Quadrocopter a) Charging the Flight Battery Caution, important! The flight battery is firmly integrated in the quadrocopter and cannot be removed for charging. Therefore, place the quadrocopter on a fire-proof underground when charging and do not charge the flight battery unsupervised. -
Page 14: B) Checking The Drive
The operating system does not recognize any new hardware after connection, because the USB port is only used for power supply. Please observe that the USB ports of your computer/notebook are usually only active when the computer/notebook is switched on. Therefore, we recommend to only connect the charging cable to a computer/notebook that is switched on. -
Page 15: C) Switching On The Quadrocopter
c) Switching on the Quadrocopter For the receiver in the quadrocopter to react to the transmitter signals, the receiver and transmitter must have the same digital encoding (binding). For this reason, it is important that you perform the activation process according to the following description. - Page 16 Attention! The quadrocopter has two more LED displays at the top. If no memory card is inserted in the quadrocop- ter, the red LED at the front left motor arm (1) will flash. When a memory card is inserted and has been recognised, the red LED will remain dark after activation.

Page 17: D) Basic Information Relevant To The Control Of Quadrocopters
d) Basic Information Relevant to the Control of Quadrocopters Before you fly your model, you should first familiarise yourself with the control possibilities open to you and thereby be able to fly safely. The symmetrical setup of the model makes it very difficult to assign the alignment (front/rear). Therefore, the two front propellers are of white plastic and the two rear propellers of black plastic. - Page 18 Yaw Function The two right-ward turning and the two left-ward turning propellers balance out the torques acting on the model. The quadrocopter hovers stably. If the control lever for the yaw function (also see figure 1, item 9) is moved to the left, the electronics in the model will increase the speed of the propeller turning to the right (clockwise) viewed from above and at the same time reduce the speed of the propellers turning to the left (counter-clockwise).
- Page 19 Nod Function The nod function allows you to move your quadrocopter forward and backward (see figure 11). This is also controlled with the right control lever (also see figure 1, item 4). If the lever is slightly pushed to the front, the electronics in the quadrocopter change the propeller speeds so that the model will turn to the front slightly and thus also fly forward.
-
Page 20: E) Practical Flight Advice For The First Start
e) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start • Even if the model can fly in the narrowest spaces, for the first test flights, we recommend using a free space of about 3 x 3 m. • The support should be flat (tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the model tends to drift off in a particular direction. -
Page 21: F) Trimming The Quadrocopter
f) Trimming the Quadrocopter First start the transmitter, then the model. Push the pitch lever (also see figure 1, item 9) from the bottom position (motors off) carefully forward and observe the response of your model. Shortly before the quadrocopter starts hovering, you can already determine in which direction your model wants to move. - Page 22 Nod trimming: If the quadrocopter tries to drift forward, reduce the speed until the quadrocopter is safely on its landing struts again. Push the bottom trim button for the nod function several times (also see figure 1, item 2). Push the pitch lever carefully forward and check if the adjustment was sufficient. Repeat the procedure until the model does not show any tendency to drift to the front.

Page 23: Dual Rate Switching
Dual Rate Switching The remote control permits individual adjustment of the control sensitivity of the quadrocopter with the dual rate func- tion. The following modes are available to you: Beginner mode After activating the remote control transmitter, beginner mode is activated automatically. In this flight mode, the quad- rocopter reacts less strongly to the control commands of the transmitter and thus can be controlled very precisely. -
Page 24: Flip Function
Flip Function The quadrocopter is able to fly flips as well if desired. The first flips should be flown outdoors on a wind-still day. For this, first let the quadrocopter rise to a safety height of approx. 3 - 4 m and then let it hover. To switch the transmitter to flip mode, push the control lever for the nod and roll functions from above (also see figure 1, item 4). -
Page 25: Flying In The Headless Mode
Flying in the Headless Mode The movement direction of the quadrocopter always depends on the direction in which the model is aligned with the pilot or from which side the pilot looks at the quadrocopter. It is very easy to give the wrong command if you are not looking at the model from behind, but from the side or front. -
Page 26: Return Function
Return Function The quadrocopter has a return function where it flies backwards independently. This is the opposite direction from that in which it was aligned when switching on (see figure 18, ill. A). As in headless mode, it is not relevant in which direction the front of the quadrocopter is currently pointing (see figure 18, ill. -
Page 27: Commissioning Of The Installed Camera
Commissioning of the Installed Camera The quadrocopter has an integrated camera that is aligned forward in the flight direction. With the help of this camera, videos or photographs can be recorded on the enclosed microSDHC memory card during the flight. Use the two control buttons at the transmitter to start and stop the video recording or record photographs (see figure 1, items 10 and 3). -
Page 28: B) Recording Videos
b) Recording Videos First switch on the transmitter and then the quadrocopter. If the memory card has not been inserted or not correctly inserted, the LED of the camera electronics (see figure 20, item 3) will flash red. If the memory card is inserted cor- rectly and has been recognised by the electronics, the LED will not be lit. -
Page 29: D) Read Videos And Photographs
d) Read Videos and Photographs After touch-down, switch off the quadrocopter and remove the memory card (1) from the card chute. The photo and video data can then be read on a notebook or PC with the enclosed USB memory card reader (2). For this, the memory card must be pushed into the USB memory card reader gently. -
Page 30: Calibration Of The Position Sensors
Calibration of the Position Sensors If the quadrocopter does not hover stably in place, but keeps flying in one direction, this can be fixed with the trim. If the trim must be adjusted very far, you may need to recalibrate the position sensors in the model. Proceed as follows: First switch on the transmitter and then the quadrocopter. -
Page 31: Maintenance And Care
Maintenance and Care a) General Clean the exterior of the model and the remote control only with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Never use abrasive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as these could damage the surfaces of the casings. The propellers must move smoothly and the motor shafts must neither be bent nor have any play in their bearings. -
