Flight preparation
Pay attention to the following, before you start
flying the Quadrocopter (1):
1. Always place the Quadrocopter (1) on an even
surface for take-off so that the height sensor can
function correctly.
NOTE:
The on/off switch (1d) is on the
back side of the Quadrocopter (1).
2. Always move the throttle lever (2h) and control
lever (2l) slowly and carefully, with sensitivity.
NOTE:
After moving, the throttle and control
lever springs back to the centre and the
Quadrocopter rises/lowers a certain amount
and stays there.
3. Keep your attention continuously focused on the
Quadrocopter (1) during the flight!
CAUTION:
Always keep the Quadrocop-
ter in sight during flight operations!
4. Do not hang any loads on the Quadrocopter
(1).
CAUTION:
Check the rotor protection
(1c) (Fig. B) before each flight to ensure
that it is secure and undamaged.
Otherwise there is a risk of damage to the rotor
blades (1a, 1b) during a flight and this may cause
injury.
Taking off and controlling the
Quadrocopter
When flying, watch out for potential misuse as a
result of:
• Sudden changes in the weather
• Sudden changes in wind (gusts)
• Loss of visibility
• Direct sunshine (overheating, loss of control as
a result of dazzle)
Taking off (Fig. H)
1. Turn the Quadrocopter (1) to the OFF position
at the switch (1d).
2. Press the on/off switch (2a) on the remote
control (2). The display lights blink (2j).
NOTE:
Always switch on the remote control
(2) first.
3. Place the rechargeable battery (7) into the
Quadrocopter (1).
4. Switch the on/off switch (1d) to the ON posi-
tion. The control lights (1g) on the Quadrocop-
ter (1) will flash, and a beep will sound from the
remote control (2).
5. Slide the throttle lever (2h) all the way forwards
and then all the way back.
NOTE:
This process establishes contact
between the Quadrocopter (1) and the
remote control (2).
If the throttle lever (2h) is not first moved forward
and then back, the Quadrocopter (1) remains
secured and will not be ready for flight.
Acoustic signals are emitted from the remote
control (2).
The control lights (1g) on the Quadrocopter (1)
light up continuously. The Quadrocopter (1) is
now ready for flight.
NOTE:
The display (2j) shows the speed
and indicates NORMAL mode.
6. Press the START/LAND button (2i) located at
the front of the remote control. The rotor blades
will start to turn.
Controlling the Quadrocopter
The integrated height sensor ensures that the
Quadrocopter keeps a steady height and facili-
tates initial flight manoeuvres. You have several
controlling options:
• Ascending/descending (throttle) (Fig. I)
By pressing the throttle lever (2h) forward,
the rotational speed of the rotors (1a, 1b) is
increased. The Quadrocopter (1) will then
begin to rise. By pressing the throttle lever (2h)
forward, the rotational speed of the rotors (1a,
1b) is decreased. The Quadrocopter (1) will
then begin to descend.
•
Turning left/right (yaw rotation) (Fig. J)
By moving the throttle lever (2h) to the left or
right, the Quadrocopter (1) rotates on its verti-
cal axis, i.e. the Quadrocopter (1) rotates to the
right or left.
• Moving forwards/backwards (pitch)
(Fig. K)
By moving the control lever (2l) to the front or
back, the Quadrocopter (1) moves in the corre-
sponding direction.
