Battery maintenance
Please note the following steps to ensure a long battery life:
- Never store the model with connected battery and disconnect the battery after every use
- Before you store the battery for a longer time, make sure that it is charged (minimum 50%)
- Disconnect the battery from the model
- Always store at regular room temperature
- Constantly charge the battery every 3 months if you are not using it
Disregarding these steps may lead into total damage of the LiPo- battery due to the batteries physically
conditions.

9 Steps before flight
Do not ignore these points. They ease you to start and fly the model safely.
1. Sign a Model-flight insurance:
Since 2005, an insurance for RC models is required. Obtain information from your local RC club or
dealer and through the local model association.
2. You need a special approval for commercial flights.*
3. Get the permission from the owner of the area you are flying in.*
4. Check the allowed flight height - especially in airport areas!*
Especially check the allowed flight height in areas close to airports and make sure you hold a minimum
distance of 1500m. Regularly, the allowed max. height is 100m.
5. Make sure that the LiPo- battery is fully charged and in good condition.
6. Check the controller batteries as well. Replace them after 10 flights.
7. Check other components like the landing gear or screws, make sure that they are fixed firmly.
8. Check all propellers. Tighten the spinners with the supplied wrench. Check the motors ease of
movement and the condition of the propellers. Remove dirt. Replace damaged propellers!
9. Safe starting position
Make sure that the position offers at least 5 meters free space in all directions and that no power plants
or other obstacles may disturb the flight. Avoid airfields with high-voltage power lines.
A quadrocopter is not suited to fly over crowds, for example festivals. A technical defect, which can’t be
excluded, may lead into a crash. Personal injuries may appear!
You are responsible for your acts!
*Regularly check your countries latest legislation in regards to multicopters.
