Choosing the flight area
8
When being prepared for the first flight you should choose a closed
room which is as large as possible without any persons or obstacles.
Due to its size and controllability, experienced pilots may be able to
fly the Quadrocopter in relatively small rooms. For your first flights
we strongly recommend you choose a room with a minimum floor
space of 5 x 5 metres and 2.40 metres in height. After having
trimmed your Quadrocopter for flight and made yourself familiar
with the controller and its functions you may start flying in smaller
and less open environments.
To be used in domestic area (house and garden) only.
There must be
no persons or objects such as pillars between the controller and the
Quadrocopter to obstruct direct connection.
Checklist for flight preparation
This checklist is not a substitute for the contents of the operating instructions.
Although it can be used as a quick-start-guide, we strongly recommend you
first to read the operating instructions in detail before you proceed.
• Check the contents of the package.
• Charge the lipo-battery as described in the section “Recharging the LiPo
rechargeable battery”.
• Fit 2 AA batteries in the controller, making sure their polarity is correct.
• Look for a suitable environment for flying.
• Slide the battery into the battery bay on the bottom of the Quadrocopter.
2b
• Connect the battery in the model.
• Link as described in
4
.
• Press the button
7
to start the helicopter (Figure
7
).
• Important note! Please perform the auto-trimming
17
before each
flight without fail!
• Check the control system.
• Make yourself familiar with the control system.
• Trim the Quadrocopter as necessary as described under
17
18

,
so that when hovering it no longer moves from the spot without a com-
mand from the controller.
• The Quadrocopter is now ready to be flown.
• If the Quadrocopter displays no functions, retry the above binding procedure.
• Fly the model.
• Land the model.
•
Disconnect the battery plug connection.
• Always switch off the remote control last.
Flying the 4-channel Quadrocopter
NOTE!
Take care particularly in the first few flights to move the lever on the
controller very gently and not over-hurriedly. As a rule, only very small
movements of the respective levers are necessary to carry out the de-
sired control commands!
If you notice that the Quadrocopter moves forwards or to the side without your
touching the respective lever, please adjust the trim of the Quadrocopter as
described in
17

.
9
+/- Gas (up / down)
To fly higher, push the gas lever on the left cautiously forwards. To land or
fly lower, push the gas lever on the left cautiously backwards.
10
To make the Quadrocopter circle to the left or the right on the spot, move
the lever on the left cautiously to the left or the right.
11
To fly the Quadrocopter to the left or the right, push the lever on the right
cautiously to the left or the right.
12
To fly the Quadrocopter forwards or backwards, push the lever on the
right cautiously forwards or backwards.
Looping function
WARNING! ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13a
If you press the “Looping Button”, then an acoustic signal sounds 5x
times. As long as the acoustic signal sounds, slide the right-hand joystick
up, down, to the right or to the left. The Quadrocopter then carries out the loop
or roll in the respective direction. Before you do this, make sure you have
ample room on all sides (about 2.5 m – 8‘).
Beginner/Advanced switch
WARNING! 100 % IS ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13b
30% = beginner mode
Signal sounds once on switching over.
60% = medium mode
The quadrocopter reacts more sensitively than in 30 % mode. Signal
sounds twice on switching over.
100% = Advanced Modus -> 3D Modus
The Quadrocopter reacts very sensitively to joystick movements. Signal
sounds three times on switching over.
Headless Mode
13c
The headless mode helps beginners learn how to fly. Regardless of which
direction the Quadrocopter is rotated, the flight direction always corre-
sponds exactly to the flight direction implemented on the controller. Therefore
a beginner no longer has to steer mirror-imaged when he flies e.g. to himself.
If you press the “Headless Mode Button”
10
, an acoustic signal sounds for
as long as you are in the Headless mode. To deactivate the Headless mode,
press the button renewed.
Automatic control of altitude
14
The Quadrocopter will maintain the current flying altitude automatically as
soon as you release the left-hand joystick during the flight. The right-hand
joystick can be used to fly forwards/backwards and left/right at the same
height. The left-hand joystick is used to circle on the spot with a left/right-hand
movement.
Auto-Start & Fly to ≈1 m
15
Press the ‘Auto-start & fly to ≈1 m’ button on the controller, in order to start
the motors and automatically fly up to the altitude of about 1 m . You are
able to influence the direction of flight at any time during the starting operation
by means of moving the right joystick. The Quadrocopter will maintain itself in
position automatically as soon as the altitude of about 1 m has been reached.
The flying height can be changed manually at any time by moving the left-
hand joystick forwards (increase height) or backwards (reduce height).
Auto Landing
16
You can trigger the automatic landing function at any time by means of pres-
sing the ‘Auto landing’ button. The speed of the rotors will reduce gradually
as a result. You are able to influence the landing position at any time during the
landing procedure by means of moving the right-hand joystick. The motor will
switch itself off as soon as the Quadrocopter is on the ground.
Trimming the Quadrocopter
17
Auto-trimming
1. Place the Quadrocopter on a horizontal surface.
2. Link the Quadrocopter with the controller as described in “Link-
ing the model with the controller”.
3. Slide the gas lever and the lever for forward / back simultaneously
into the right lower corner. The LED on the Quadrocopter flashes
on briefly and then lights up continuously. The signalling tone will
sound once.
4. The neutral setting is completed.
18
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies to the left or right without you
moving the lever for left / right movement, please proceed as follows:
If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or slow sideways to the left,
