Flying the 4-channel Quadrocopter
NOTE!
Take care particularly in the first few flights to move
the lever on the controller very gently and not over-
hurriedly. As a rule, only very small movements of the
respective levers are necessary to carry out the desired
control commands!
If you notice that the Quadrocopter moves forwards or to the
side without your touching the respective lever, please adjust
the trim of the Quadrocopter as described in (
16
14
15
).
9
+/- Gas (up / down)
To start or to fly higher, push the gas lever on the
left cautiously forwards. To land or fly lower, push
the gas lever on the left cautiously backwards.
10
To make the Quadrocopter circle to the left or the
right on the spot, move the lever on the left cau-
tiously to the left or the right.
11
To fly the Quadrocopter to the left or the right,
push the lever on the right cautiously to the left or
the right.
12
To fly the Quadrocopter forwards or backwards,
push the lever on the right cautiously forwards or
backwards.
Looping function
WARNING! ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13a
When you press the looping button, an audi-
ble signal sounds until you move the right-hand
joystick either up or down, or right or left. The
Quadrocopter then carries out the loop or roll in
the respective direction. Before you do this, make
sure you have ample room on all sides (about
2.5 m – 8‘).
Beginner/Advanced switch
WARNING! 100 % IS ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13b
30 % = beginner mode
Signal sounds once on switching over. Looping
the loop and rollovers are possible as explained
in
13a
.
60 % = medium mode
The quadrocopter reacts more sensitively than
in 30 % mode. Signal sounds twice on switching
over. Looping the loop and rollovers are possible
as explained in
13a
.
100 % = advanced mode -> 3D mode.
The Quadrocopter reacts very sensitively to joy-
stick movements. Signal sounds three times on
switching over.
Trimming the Quadrocopter
14
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies to the left
or right without you moving the lever for left / right
movement, please proceed as follows:
If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or slow
sideways to the left, press the lower right trimmer
for right / left tilt in steps to the right. If the Quad-
rocopter moves right, press the trimmer for right /
left tilt in steps to the left.
15
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies forwards
or backwards without you moving the lever for for-
wards or backwards movement, please proceed
as follows:
If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or
slow forwards, press the upper right trimmer for
forwards / backwards in steps downwards. If the
Quadrocopter moves backwards, press the trim-
mer for forwards / backwards in steps upwards.
16
When hovering and without you moving the lever
for circling on the spot, if the quadrocopter rotates
to left or right, proceed as follows: If the quadro-
copter rotates quickly or slowly to the left around
its own axis, press the trimmer for rotation below
left in steps to the right. If the quadrocopter rotates
to the right, press the trimmer for rotation in steps
to the left.
Changing the rotor blades
17
Use a screwdriver if it is necessary to remove a ro-
tor blade. Make sure that you draw the rotor blade
with great care vertically upwards, and hold the
motor from below to stabilise it. Screw the rotor
blade firmly back on to the quadrocopter.
18
WARNING!
Be sure to note the marking and colour, also the tilt
angle of the rotor blades!
Front left: red – marking “B”
Front right: red – marking “A”
Rear right: black – marking “B”
Rear left: black – marking “A”
Troubleshooting
Problem:
Remote control does not work.
Cause:
The ON/OFF-power switch is turned “OFF”.
Solution:
Turn the ON/OFF-power switch “ON”.
Cause:
The batteries have been wrongly inserted.
Solution:
Check if the batteries have been correctly inserted.
Cause:
The batteries do not have enough power.
Solution:
Insert new batteries.
Problem:
The Quadrocopter cannot be controlled with the
remote control
Cause:
The power switch on the reomote control is turned
“OFF”.
Solution:
First turn the power switch on the remote control
“ON”.
Cause:
The remote control is possibly not correctly frequen-
cy bound with the receiver on the Quadrocopter.
Solution:
Please carry out the binding procedure as de-
scribed in “Checklist for flight preparation“.
Problem:
The Quadrocopter does not lift.
Cause:
The rotor blades rotate too slowly.
Solution:
Push the throttle up.
Cause:
The battery´s power is not sufficient.
Solution:
Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the
battery”).
Problem:
During flight, the Quadrocopter loses speed and
height without any obvious reason.
Cause:
The battery is too weak.
Solution:
Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the bat-
tery”).
Problem:
The quadrocopter only flies in a circle or turns
over on starting.
Cause:
Rotor blades incorrectly fitted or damaged.
Solution:
Fit rotor blades / replace rotor blades as de-
scribed in
