Radio controller
Make yourself familiar with the sticks and
what they do.
Throttle:
Gas, increases speed upwards.
The drone will normally stand still
approximately when the throttle is at 50% (in
the middle). This stick should normally be
down when not flying.
Yaw
(rudder): Sideways rotation. The drone
turns / rotates to the left or to the right.
Pitch
(elevator): Forward/backward
Roll
(aileron): Left/Right
To turn on the radio and drone:
The throttle plug must be down. First turn on
the radio, then turn on the drone by plugging
in the battery.
Calibration
The optimum is that the drone is relatively
immobile in the air, as long as you have the
right amount of throttle and the other sticks
are in the neutral position. Then the drone
should not move to the side or forwards /
backwards. It should also not rotate (yaw).
If the drone is more than 1 meter above the
ground, and still tilts to the side or rotates,
use the trim sliders. Carefully pull them in
the opposite direction of the path the drone
is spinning or rotating, to weigh up.
Arming
Before we can fly, the drone must be activated. This is
done by pulling the left stick down and to the right.
A beep will sound, along with a red light and the text
"armed" will appear on the display. The safety
distance must then be at least 2 meters.
Before taking the drone, always disarm first!
To disarm, drag the left stick down and to the left.
Strategy for steady flight
Make sure the quadcopter always points the same
way as yourself. Have a clear idea of what the nose
direction of the drone is (when you can read the text
on the screen, it is in the right direction). If the drone
turns, turn it back with the yaw stick. If the drone is
well calibrated, you will first need to use throttle, pitch
and roll to fly.
If you lose control
The easiest thing you can do, if you feel you are losing
control of the drone, is to land relatively quickly.
Carefully pull the throttle down to zero before the drone
goes astray.
Battery alarm and flight time
When the battery approaches empty, a battery alarm
starts beeping. You must then land as soon as possible
before the battery or drone can be damaged. It can be
difficult to hear, so you need to pay close attention. The
flight time on this drone is 11-13 minutes.
It is important to land as soon as
the volt alarm starts beeping.
Otherwise you can damage the
battery permanently!

When the drone’s
nose points forward,
the drone flies the
