FCC Compliance Information Statement (for U.S.A.)

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Here’s what you’ve gotta do:

1.  Read and obey all warnings and directions in this manual and on the packaging. 

We wrote it because we mean it! 

2.  Insert batteries into the controller. Use 4 high quality alkaline AA’s.
3.  Ensure that the Quad Starship is turned OFF before charging. The on/off switch is on 

the underside - it’s the big red one.

4.  Grab the charging lead and pop the little end (gently) into the charging plug on the 

side of the Quad Starship. 

5.  Insert the USB end of the charging cable into a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your 

computer or a USB phone charger. 

6.  The USB plug will glow red while the Quad Starship is charging. When it’s done 

and the LED goes out, disconnect the charging cable.

7.  Turn the Quad Starship ON. Turn the remote control ON. Wait for the beeping to 

stop.

8.  Fly!

Controlling the Quad Starship

Moving up / down:

 Use the left stick on the remote control.

Turning Left / Right:

 Move the right stick left or right.

Moving Sideways: 

Move the left stick side to side.

Moving forward / back:

 Move the right stick forward or back.

Adjusting Trim: 

Use the rudder trim adjustment switches, which are below and to the sides of the 

control sticks. Each is located adjacent to the axis on the controller they affect. 

For example, if the Quad Starship is turning left when only the throttle is used, then 

the Rotation Trim (below the right stick) should be adjusted by clicking it to the 

right until the unwanted left turn stops.

What is this “trim” thingy? 

 If the Quad Starship is turning or moving when you don’t want it to, then 

you need to adjust the trim.  

Basically, it makes fine adjustments to the rotor speeds, and allows you to fine tune the Quad Starship’s 

sense of direction. If the Quad Starship is steady as it hovers, then the trim is set correctly.

It can be a bit tricky to get the trim lined up at first, but it gets easier with practice!
