C. Be Careful!
Be a safe pilot…use common sense and care when flying. Watch out for people, animals and
obstacles.
VII. READY TO FLY!
Your vehicle is easy to fly, but you’ll need to put in some flight time to become an expert. Practice
these steps to sharpen your skills.
NOTE: to become familiar with the controls and the vehicle’s operation, you may want to practice
taking off and landing at low altitudes: take off, ascend a few feet, and then land. Repeat this
process until you are comfortable with the vehicle’s operation. Gradually fly higher and hover
longer. Be sure to practice the controlled descent and soft landing.
1. Recharge the vehicle (see Section IV). With the transmitter OFF, turn the vehicle ON. Make
sure the transmitter is OFF when you turn the vehicle ON: the vehicle will not power up if the
transmitter is transmitting.
2. Set the vehicle upright on level ground. Make sure the rotor blades are approximately 180°
apart, as shown. Step away until there’s AT LEAST 10’/3m DISTANCE between you and the
vehicle.
3. Make sure the transmitter control stick is in normal position (standby mode). Turn the
transmitter ON. The transmitter will not transmit unless the control stick is in the normal position
when the transmitter is turned ON.
