To fly the dragonfly
NOTE:
Before you fly the dragonfly, make sure the rear rotor is not spinning before
you launch it (otherwise it might not fly in the desired direction). If the rotor is
spinning, adjust the trim dial on the controller until it stops. The trim dial is the
circular dial around the power button on the controller.
To operate the FlyTech Dragonfly:
1. Turn the controller on by pressing the power switch. The LED indicator light will
light up.
2. Extend the antenna on the controller.
3. Turn the FlyTech Dragonfly on by setting the switch on the dragonfly to ON.
Note that if the controller is off when you turn on the dragonfly, the dragonfly’s
eyes will blink.
4. On the controller, push the left stick upwards to increase speed of the wing-
flapping. The left stick (throttle) controls how high and fast your FlyTech
Dragonfly will fly.
5. Launch FlyTech Dragonfly from your hand with a gentle horizontal motion.
The dragonfly will flutter away from you.
NOTE:
Do not throw the dragonfly when launching.
6. On the controller, push the right stick (directional) to the left to turn left, or push
the stick to the right to turn right. Use smaller movements on the controller to
make the dragonfly To make the dragonfly turn more quickly, push the stick
farther in the desired direction.
7. Use the trim dial to adjust the straight line flight of the dragonfly. If the
dragonfly naturally steers to the left, slowly turn the trim dial in a clockwise
direction to adjust the steer. If the dragonfly steers to the right, slowly turn trim
dial in a counter-clockwise direction. Avoid using the right (directional) stick
while adjusting the trim as your trim settings will be inaccurate.
You can also use the trim dial to make the dragonfly fly in constant circles.
Turn the trim dial clockwise to fly the dragonfly in a counter-clockwise circle,
and vice versa.
NOTE:
Adjusting the trim can make the dragonfly’s tail rotor spin even when
not flying.
Replacing the wings
Note that adult supervision is suggested when replacing the wings.
You can replace the original wings on your dragonfly if they become damaged.
A spare set of wings is included in the FlyTech Dragonfly package. To replace the
damaged wings, do the following:
1. Make sure the controller and the dragonfly are turned off.
2. Remove the old pair of wings. There are two sets of wings on the dragonfly. Pull
the first pair of wings off the hook at the end of the thorax area.
Then, gently pull the wing rods out from the sockets. Repeat for the second pair
of wings.
Be careful not to touch any broken edges.
