flight behaviour of your copter before you switch to the Rate mode
or GPS mode for the first time. Proceed carefully and responsibly.
Commissioning the copter step-by-step
1. Switch on transmitter.
2. Activate the Motor Stop function by switching the corresponding
switch.
3. Start the copter by plugging in the battery.
‖ After commissioning of the copter, its position stabilization is
immediately active, but not yet initialized.
4. Place the copter horizontally on a suitable surface for about 3 sec
after switching on.
‖ The calibration process can only be performed when the
receiver is absolutely still. Always wait until the calibration
process has finished before starting to fly the model.
‖ If required, you can achieve the same effect with a corre-
spondingly long-lasting stopover on a suitable surface.
5. Move the throttle / pitch control stick to idle position.
This is usually the "back" end point.
6. Deactivate the Motor Stop function.
The propellers start to rotate at low speed.
7. Carefully move the throttle / pitch stick forward until the copter
is about one meter high and hold it at that height.
‖ Initially, move the control sticks slightly so that you have
enough time to familiarize yourself with the copter's reac-
tions.
‖ If, especially when hovering, the copter always drifts in a cer-
tain direction, compensate the movement by tapping the cor-
responding trim button in the opposite direction. Alterna-
tively, you can land and move the battery in the opposite
direction.
8. After landing, first activate the motor stop function, then first put
the transmitter away and take the copter in hand to stake out the
battery.
