7 FlIghT CONTrOl
Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying
behaviour of the multicopter! The direction information applies if the multicopter is
viewed from behind. If the multicopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved in
the opposite direction.
Control via smart phone
Control of the X Spy via smart phone essentially works as described below.
The joysticks are shown on the smart phone display and are moved by touching them.
The schematics are the same.
Alternatively, motion control can be activated. In this connection, the forwards and
backwards functions, as well as the sideways flight, are controlled by moving the
smart phone in the corresponding direction. Thrust and rotation remain on the left side
and are controlled by touching the display.
7A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the LEFT control for thrust and
rotation forward.
7B Land or decrease altitude by carefully pulling back on the LEFT control for thrust
and rotation.
7C Fly forward by moving the RIGHT control for forward/backward flight and sideways
flight carefully forward.
7D Fly backwards by carefully pulling back on the RIGHT control for forward/backward
flight and sideways flight carefully.
7E Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and sideways
flight carefully to the left.
7F Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and sideways
flight carefully to the right.
7G
Turn multicopter around to the left by moving the controller for thrust and rotation
to the left.
7H Turn multicopter around to the right by moving the controller for thrust and rotation
to the right.
Higher flight speed
For higher flying speed, press the turbo button on the remote control (7J) . Now the
multicopter has a greater tilt, which enables higher flight speed. Please do not use this
function until you have gained sufficient experience in the standard setting, because
the multicopter is very sensitive, which makes a fine touch necessary when controlling it.
Fly loops - advanced users only! When you have sufficiently mastered your
multicopter, you can try your hand at the stunt flying function. For this purpose,
briefly press the flip button (7K) once. Make sure that you have sufficient room in
each direction (at least 10 metres). Also observe the safety height - fly at a height of
at least 5m, as your multicopter loses height when rolling over and has to be caught
and corrected afterwards!
Note:
Looping is more successful when the battery capacity is near full. The camera
must be dismounted when you fly loops. Now climb to safety height. Press the control
for forward and backwards flight and banking all the way forward and all the way back
very quickly. The multicopter performs a forward looping manoeuvre - looping in other
directions are performed corresponding to the movement of the controller.
Be prepared to catch the multicopter, as the flying height, direction and speed after
rolling over depend heavily on the wind and preceding flight movements.
8 app FUNCTIONS
The X Spy quadrocopter can be controlled with the accompanying remote control or
with an Android or iOS smart phone. To control with a smart hone, please switch on
the quadrocopter first and wait about 30 seconds until the WLAN network has been
created. Then connect the smart phone to the X Spay WLAN network. In the process, it
is important that the remote control remains switched off. If the WLAN connection has
been established, start the app.
The start screen appears when the app is started up. From here you are taken directly
to the flight menu, where the live flight image is also shown, by pressing „play“.
The following options are accessible by pressing the gear symbol.
Parameters auto save: All settings are saved automatically by closing the app.
Reset the parameters: All settings can be reset to factory settings.
Reverse control screen by gravity sensing: The screen display rotates automatically
when the smart phone is rotated.
Right hand mode: Here you can switch the thrust-rotation controller from the left
side of the screen to the right.
