• Start the rotors by carefully pushing the left control lever (figure 11, item 4) forward. The rotors start up. Now in
-
crease the rotating speed of the quadrocopter rotors by pushing the left control lever further forward slowly until the
quadrocopter takes off and hovers in front of you at a height of approx. 1.5 metres. Generally avoid any fast and
big controlling motions. Also watch closely to see whether and in which direction the quadrocopter moves. By using
trimming on the remote control (see section c) in this chapter), you can align undesired movements.
•
To land the quadrocopter again, pull the left control lever back slightly in a suitable landing location until the quad-
rocopter gravitates to the ground. A somewhat solid touchdown on the ground is no problem and should not be
corrected with jerky throttle movements.
•
Try to touch down where possible in vertical position ("helicopter landing"). Avoid landing with high horizontal
speeds ("airplane landing"). After landing, turn off the motors (pull the left control lever back all the way).
•
Practice this starting procedure a few times to get a feel for the quadrocopter. Once you are reasonably sure, you
can begin to steer the flight direction with yaw, nod and roll functions (see notes in chapter 11). Always steer slowly
and carefully and practice the processes a little before trying a new flight manoeuvre. The first flights should not last
longer than 30 to 60 seconds respectively.
• When you have familiarised yourself a little with the model's flight properties, you may perform additional exercises.
Start with simple flight manoeuvres like a flying a meter forwards/back (nod function). Then practice hovering to the
left/right (roll function). When you have the practice you need, start flying circles and figure eights.
• If you want to terminate flying, the rotors must be switched off first after landing. Then disconnect the battery from
the model. Only then must the transmitter be turned off.
b) Flight Movements
After the model has been started, it is in hover flight. The model will try to maintain altitude in this. Push the left control
lever at the transmitter forward carefully. This initiates rising of the model. Put the left control lever into the neutral
position again to stop rising. Pull the left control lever back carefully to start sinking.
If you move the left control lever to the left, the model will turn around its vertical axis. If you move it towards the right,
the quadrocopter will turn to the right.
Push the right control lever forward carefully. The model is controlled forward. If you push the right control lever back-
wards, the quadrocopter will be controlled backwards.
If the right control lever is controlled to the left, the model will float to the left. If you move the right control lever to the
right, the quadrocopter will float to the right.
When controlling the model, also observe the notes in chapter 11.
