Before first use
This manual uses the standard terms for controlling a quadcopter. These are used in aviation terminology
and are in widespread use.
Directions are given from the perspective of a "virtual" pilot. The direction is indicated by the three green
LEDs in the chassis (these indicate "backwards").
a) Hovering the quadcopter
Hovering denotes a status in which the quadcopter neither rises nor falls. This means that the lifting force is equal to
the weight.
After starting the rotors with the "Start rotors/automatic landing" button (figure 7, position 5), slide the left-land lever
forwards to increase the motor speed and make the quadcopter move upwards. Pull the lever backwards to make
the quadcopter fall. When the lever is in the neutral position, the quadcopter uses the built-in sensors to maintain the
current altitude.
Figure 11
The quadcopter may be affected by turbulence and air currents during take-off and when the quadcopter
is just above the ground. This may cause the quadcopter to respond more quickly to remote control com-
mands or move forwards, backwards or sideways. This so-called "ground effect" disappears at an altitude
of approximately 50 cm.
b) Yaw function
"Yaw" refers to the rotation of the quadcopter about the vertical axis. This movement occurs either unintentionally due
to the torque of the rotors, or intentionally to change the flight direction. The yaw is controlled by changing the speed
of the individual rotors.
Move the left-hand lever (figure 7, position 4) to the left to rotate the quadcopter to the left, or move the lever to the
right to rotate the quadcopter to the right.
