Flying

Remote Link & Calibration
Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the gyroscopes on the
craft must be allowed to calibrate.
Begin with the battery installed, the battery compartment closed, and the craft and
remote powered OFF.
Step 1
Power ON the craft and place it on a flat
surface. This is necessary for the craft's
gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on
the craft will blink as it searches for a signal
from the remote.
Be sure the craft and yourself are facing
the same forward direction, this will help
with orientation while flying.
Step 2
Power ON the remote. The light on the remote will blink as it searches for the signal from
the craft. An audible chime will sound when the remote and the craft have linked.
Step 3
Push the Left Control Stick (throttle) fully
forward, wait for a chime to sound, then
pull the stick fully rearward, and wait for a
second chime.
Step 4
To start/stop the rotors, push both control
sticks down and to the outside as shown in
the diagram. Once the rotors have started,
the craft is ready for flight.

Trim Adjustment & Countering Drift
Even after a craft is calibrated, it may still drift while airborne. To counter this effect you can
adjust the trim for better control. However, adjusting the trim may not entirely eliminate
drifting. Air currents and other factors can still affect the craft's handling.
Making Trim Adjustments
Press the Trim buttons to adjust the craft trim accordingly.
For example, if the craft is drifting forward, press the Backward Trim button until the craft
is balanced.
To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover and adjust one
trim setting at a time to avoid confusion.
