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

the drone flies the 
same way as the right 
stick moves.
