altitude. In some cases, you may need to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just
a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required
to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
Hovering
The quadcopter requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover.
Remember to keep these throttle adjustments as minimal as possible. Large
adjustments could result in a loss of control or a possible crash.
While attempting to establish a low-level hover, check to see if any trim adjustments
are required to keep the quadcopter from drifting in various directions. If you find that
it constantly drifts without any directional control input, land the model before making
any adjustments to the trim settings.
•
If the nose of the quadcopter rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim in
the opposite direction.
•
If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim
in the opposite direction.
•
If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim in the
opposite direction.
Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with
very little drifting and directional control input. If this is your first multicopter or helicopter,
seek the help of an experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your first
flight.
With your quadcopter properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover,
practice using the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the
machine’s responses to control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as
minimal as possible.
Average flight times are approximately 6 minutes.
Landing
To land the quadcopter, establish a low level hover. Slowly lower the throttle until the
quadcopter touches down.
After landing, press the arming button to disarm the motors. Unplug and remove the
flight battery.
To prevent excessive wear to the motors, always allow the motors to cool between
flights.
