CARSON x4 Micro Quadcopter 500507056
Hover flight
Hover flight means maintaining the quadcopter in a stable position in
the air. Hover flight must be thoroughly practiced as a fundamental
flight formation.
Acquaint yourself with the control functions of your remote control
transmitter so that this procedure gets you’re your “flesh and blood”.
• Then set the quadcopter about 2 m in front of you on the ground,
with the tail facing you.
• Leave the quadcopter on the ground and first deliberately move it
slightly sidewise, forwards and backwards.
• When you have mastered control on the ground, give somewhat
more lift and permit it to hover above the ground, without
allowing the tip of the fuselage to turn or the quadcopter to drift
away.
• The best procedure is to mark a position on the ground from which
you start the model. Attempt to hold the quadcopter above this
position and also to land again on this position.
• Do not move the control lever too jerkily, because otherwise
especially the touchdown can be very hard. Develop a feeling for
the controls by repeatedly lifting off, floating and landing again.
• If you notice irregularities in the control or an imbalance in the
rotor, land
immediately
and correct the necessary settings.
• Increase the flying height gradually by degrees.

ATTENTION!
Up to a height of about 30 cm, the
model is in the area of influence of
the air turbulence caused by its own
rotors.
On one hand, this “ground effect” facilitates the lift
off of the quadcopter since the air pressed down-
wards by the rotors of the quadcopter helps lift the
aircraft from the ground.
But in the immediate area this effect is reversed,
since the air flowing away laterally from the
quadcopter creates an underpressure and the model
is actually sucked back down towards the ground.
This can lead to an ungentle landing.
For this reason the flight behaviour of the model at low heights is
rather unstable. If the restless flight behaviour causes difficulties for
you, increase the flying height by degrees.
The quadcopter is no longer in the area of influence of the air
turbulence from its own rotors as of a flying height of about 2 m
and the flight situation is more stable.
