The right-hand joystick controls the forward and sideways movements of the drone.

Push the stick up and the drone will fly forward

Pull the stick down and the drone will fly backwards

Push the stick to the left and the drone will fly to it’s left

Push the stick to the right and the drone will fly to it’s right.

Position the stick in the centre to hover or maintain position

Always centre the stick before selecting RTL.

IMPORTANT These movements are based on the drones situation and direction, not yours. For 

example, if the drone is facing you the movements of the drone will be opposite to what you may 
expect.

The transmitter uses standard AA batteries. Have a spare set on hand.

The transmitter battery status is shown on the screen.

Power switch – Always turn on the transmitter before powering up the drone. Ensure all the 
switches are push up away from you and the throttle is down towards you. If not you will get a 

warning.

The Seahorse REVO4 KontikiDrone

The Seahorse REVO4 KontikiDrone is a simple drone designed to pull hooks and baits out to sea. 

Drones only fly because they have counter-rotating propellers, the front left and rear right 
propellers rotate clockwise and the front right and rear left rotate counter-clockwise. Another way 

to view it is the propellers rotate into the ends of the drone.
The propellers are fitted with easy screw on/screw off attachments and the motors have the 

matching part.

Release System

The release line is permanently attached to the left bottom side of the drone and the release is on 

the right-hand side of the drone.
There is a loop at the end of the release line that loops over the forward arm of the release horn. 

Ensure the line stays forward of the release horn so it doesn’t tangle on release.

Attaching the Propellers

Match the colours of the attachment on the propellers to the matching colour on the motors. 

Match silver to silver and gold to gold.
The propellers screw on in the opposite direction to the rotation of the motor. The front left will 

screw on counter-clockwise and the front right screws on clockwise. The propellers will self tighten
as the motors are running. The screw thread runs the same direction of the pitch on the prop. 

Follw the pitch of the propeller  - Wind the prop backwards and down to fit, and up and forward to
remove.

To remove the propellers, hold the motor and push the propeller in the direction of normal 
rotation. Front left is clockwise to remove.

Connecting the Battery

The battery slides into the battery compartment. Tuck the balance lead securely under the battery. 
Place the foam retainer in place and plug the battery lead into the connector on the Drone. Ensure 

the connector is secure and firm fitting. If the connector is getting loose – contact Seahorse to 
replace the connectors.
