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 desired
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 (
14

right on the spot, move the lever on the left cau-
tiously 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.
Beginner mode (S) – ideal for beginners
The Quadrocopter reacts less sensitively to joystick move-

Advanced mode (F)
The Quadrocopter reacts promptly to movements of the
controller.
Looping function
WARNING! ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13a
When you press the left shoulder-button, the
Quadrocopter performs a rearwards loop-the-
loop. Before you do this, make sure you have
ample room on all sides (about 2.5 m – 8‘).
Roll-over function
WARNING! ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
13b
When you press the right shoulder-button, the
Quadrocopter performs a roll-over from left to
right. Before you do this, make sure you have am-
ple room on all sides (about 2.5 m – 8‘).
Trimming the Quadrocopter
14
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, press the lower right trimmer
for right / left tilt in steps to the right. If the Quad-
rocopter moves right, press the trimmer for right /
left tilt in steps to the left.
15
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies forwards
or backwards without you moving the lever for for-
wards or backwards movement, please proceed
as follows:
If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or
slow forwards, press the upper right trimmer for
forwards / backwards in steps downwards. If the
Quadrocopter moves backwards, press the trim-
mer for forwards / backwards in steps upwards.
Changing the rotor blades
16
Use a smooth narrow object to help draw off a ro-
tor blade if necessary. Make sure that you draw
the rotor blade with great care vertically upwards,
and hold the motor from below to stabilise it.

WARNING!
Be sure to note the marking and colour, also the
tilt angle of the rotor blades!

Solution:
Check if the batteries have been correctly in-
serted.
Cause:
The batteries do not have enough power.
Solution:
Insert new batteries.
Problem:

remote control
Cause:
The power switch on the reomote control is
turned “OFF”.
Solution:
First turn the power switch on the remote control
“ON”.
Cause:
The remote control is possibly not correctly fre-
quency bound with the receiver on the Quadro-
copter.
Solution:
Please carry out the binding procedure as de-
scribed in “Checklist for flight preparation“.
Problem:
The Quadrocopter does not lift.
Cause:
The rotor blades rotate too slowly.
Solution:
Push the throttle up.
Cause:
The battery´s power is not sufficient.
Solution:
Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the
battery”).
Problem:
During flight, the Quadrocopter loses speed
and height without any obvious reason.
Cause:
The battery is too weak.
Solution:
Charge the battery (see chapter “Charging the
battery”).
Problem:
The quadrocopter only flies in a circle or turns
over on starting.
Cause:
Rotor blades incorrectly fitted or damaged.
