7 Arming/Disarming the Motors
Arming/starting motors
①
Simultaneously pull the transmitter joysticks diagonally
down-out to arm the motors (as shown in the side figure).
Disarming/stopping motors
①
Pull the throttle joystick all the way down until the copter
has completed its descent to the ground. Simultaneously
pull the transmitter joysticks diagonally down-out to disarm
the motors (as shown in the side figure).
Do not disarm during flight. The motors will stop in midair, causing the aircraft to fall and other such hazards.
Be sure to operate the joysticks slowly and firmly. When disarming, wait until the motors come to a complete
stop before releasing the joysticks.

Transmitter joysticks are self-centering and spring loaded: the joysticks will automatically center themselves
Joystick sensitivity: dependent how much and how forcefully each joystick is pulled or pushed away from
center point
8 Basic Flight Operation
The remote control is by default set to Mode 2 in factory; this manual will introduce flight operations in Mode 2.

The throttle is used to control the ascent and
descent of the aircraft. Push the throttle up and the
aircraft ascends. Pull the throttle back and the
aircraft descends. When the joystick is centered
(unmoving), the aircraft will hold its altitude in the
air. The throttle must be pushed upwards beyond
center point for the aircraft to completely takeoff
from the ground. The harder the throttle is pushed,
the faster the aircraft will ascend. Please push the
throttle slowly for a gradual lift and to prevent the
aircraft from ascending erratically.
The rudder is used to control the aircraft’s rotations.
Push the joystick to the left and the aircraft rotates
counterclockwise. Push the joystick to the right and
the aircraft rotates clockwise. When the joystick is
centered (unmoving), the angular velocity of the
aircraft is "0" and the aircraft will not turn. How hard
the rudder is pushed will determine the angular
velocity of the aircraft’s rotation. The harder the
rudder is pushed, the faster the aircraft rotates.
