Practical flight tips for the starting the model
Even though the model is very agile, for the first test flights, we recommend using a free space of about 5 x 5 m.
When flying the quadrocopter outdoors for the first time, there should be absolutely no wind.
Place yourself directly behind your quadrocopter. As long as the two red LEDs on the rear of the quadrocopter are
facing you and you are therefore seeing your model from behind, from your perspective the quadrocopter will react
to the control commands "right, left, forward and backward" exactly as you command it on the transmitter. However,
if the white LED on your model is facing you, from your perspective it will react exactly the opposite way from your
steering commands at the transmitter.
Allow the quadrocopter to climb to eye level after start up. This enables the flight attitude to be detected optimally
and the quadrocopter is visibly more stable than at ground level. This is because, if the quadrocopter flies so low that
the air blown downwards by the propellers reaches the ground (ground effect), the flight attitude is significantly more
unstable.
Important!
Should the propellers run into objects and become blocked, immediately push the pitch joystick to the low-
est setting so that the affected drive motors are no longer supplied with power.
Attention, important!
Never try to grab hold of the flying quadrocopter with your hands. There is an increased risk of injury!
When both red LEDs on the quadrocopter start to flash quickly and the quadrocopter and the transmitter emit beeps,
the flight battery has reached its lower voltage limit. In this case, stop the flight operation and charge the flight battery
again in order to avoid a deep discharge that can damage the flight battery.
If the quadrocopter is used outside, pay attention to the flight distance. The further away the quadrocopter is from you,
the harder it is to detect the attitude. Never switch off the transmitter while the quadrocopter is flying.
