 WARNING 

 

Congratulations on your purchase of one of the hobby’s first ARF pure-bred racing quadcopters. A 
product designed by FPV Racers, for FPV Racers.  

Do not expect it to fly like  a DJI Phantom

 . It does not have a return-to-home feature, no GPS, and it 

does not have stabilization features that will allow your little brother to fly.  

Take it easy if you are new to the world of FPV racing, try to avoid slamming the quad into the first wall 
before you have mastered slaloming through the trees on the way to the wall. 

Acro mode is something that should be learned as soon as possible, flying any other mode is a bit like 
driving a Lamborghini around a parking-lot in reverse

 not exactly what you bought the Lambo for.   

Please carefully read the recommendations in this getting started guide, as far as equipment/battery 
selection, and how to run the Vortex 150 Mini Wizard.  

 

 REMOVE PROPS 

 

Mini-quad props can do serious damage when coming in contact with human skin, risk of deep cuts and 
lacerations should be avoided at all cost.  

So when you are working on a quad with the battery connected, it is highly recommended to 

REMOVE 

ALL PROPS

, unless you are just about to fly. Keep in mind that when setting up mini-quads, there is 

always a remote chance that a configuration change can spin up motors unexpectedly.  

ImmersionRC accepts no responsibility, or liability, for any injury, or damage, to persons or property, caused 
by the use of the Vortex.  

 

 INSTALL ANTENNA

 

The Video Transmitter included in the Vortex may be damaged permanently if run without the supplied 
SpiroNET Antenna.  Please take care to install this antenna before every flight, and when powering up the 
Vortex for even a short time period.  

ImmersionRC accepts no responsibility for damage caused to the Vortex by operating without a suitable Tx 
antenna installed.
