• Push the battery in the model and switch the model on (1). The LEDs on the model blinking. At this time avoid moving the model so the radio and gyro system can initialize. Turn on the transmitter.
• For the initialisation process to be completed push the throttle stick to the top and back (1.2); an acoustic signal sounds. Once the LED lights up permanently, the binding process is completed. If this does not work, repeat the process.

Altitude Hold Adjustment

Altitude Hold Adjustment is a function that allows the model to maintain the predetermined altitude based on the measured air pressure by a barometer (or altimeter). The barometer measures on the basis of changes in air pressure, the height differences of the model and compensates automatically and unnoticeable.

1. Start operating method of the aircraft.

   • Start the aircraft:
     Way 1: Move the two control sticks 45 ° downwards outwards (1), the rotors begin to rotate.
     Way 2: Bring the two control sticks downwards by 45 ° to the centre (1.2), the rotors begin to rotate.
     Way 3: Press the left upper button (1.3) on the transmitter to start the motor. Push upward the throttle lever, the aircraft will take off.

2. Stop operating method of the aircraft.

   • Stop the aircraft:
     Way 1: Press down the left throttle stick (2) and the aircraft will landing pack to earth. The rotors come to a stop. Way 2: Land/ Start Assistant
     If you press the button (1.3) when the model flying, automatically reduced the modell altitude during flight until it touches down and will then come to a standstill. You will have to continue stearing the model. The assistant only takes control of the height.

   • Emergency Stop:
     In the case that it is fallen off by accident or meeting the danger during the course of flying, please press the left upper button for 3 seconds to start the emergeny stop (2.2) shown. The rotors are stopped immediately, the model crashes. To restart the model, you must restart the model and transmitter.

Auto trim function

If the model does not move or reacts in a controlled manner, perform the auto trimming function. Bring the left stick and the right stick down to the left for 3 seconds until the LEDs on the model begin to flash rapidly. Bring both control sticks to the bottom right.
By this calibration the compass direction automatically gets set in the direction in which the model shows during the calibration process. Let go the control sticks and the lights on the model stop blinking and move to full lighting – the indicates automatic trimming was successfull.

Trimming the model

Let the model hover in one spot and watch the changes in the respective by pressing the trimm controls.

1. Trim the pitch
2. Trim the roll position
3. Trim the rudder

Practice simulation fligh

Before flying with the model check first about its control functions and perform some exercises. Place the model with the back facing to you (black) on a flat surface. Practice only to hover with the throttle control. Then, you try to change the position of the model using the right stick (forward, backward, sideways) and possibly correct the flight. At last, you should practice turning the model around its own axis with the left stick. If you are into the basic functions of the model you can perform your first controlled flight.

1. Combination of gas, rudder, roll and pitch
   After you are into the different control methods of the model now you can try to combine the various controls.

2. Change of flight perspective
   After you master the flying of the model of the view from the rear of the model it is time to practice the flight from the side of the model and from facing towards to the model. Remember, you need to invert the controls (vice versa).

1. Beginners / advanced / expert mode
   By pressing the beginners/advanced/expert button you will be able to choose from 3 flight modes.
   Press the left stick vertically downwards.
   A. Beginner mode (1 x beep)
   The model has small deflexions, controls are performed smoothly.
   B. Advanced mode (2 x beep)
   The deflexions are higher, controls are performed directly.
   C. Expert mode (3 x beep)
   Full deflexion on model, controls are performed aggressively.

2. Flip mode
   If you set the flip function, you fly in 2 meters in height and move the joystick in the appropriate direction in which the model is to perform the flip. To perform a flip, push the right stick vertically down and release it.Once the flip button is pressed, move the right control stick in the direction the Flip should be performed.

Compass & Flyback function

Your model has a Compass & Flyback function. This means it is able to keep the desired flyback direction even if it turns in another direction during flight (the front does not face the flight direction anymore) and flies back to you semi-automatic.

First steps:

First of all you should choose the direction that you want to save in the compass of the model. This direction is used by the compass as the main flight direction. For example, you fly along a straight path and would like to use the compass mode; you have to choose the direction of the path as the main flight direction.
Now if you are using the compass mode to follow a moving object you do not have to waste a thought on the flying direction of the model. If you push the steering stick to the front the model will fly away from you. If you pull the steering stick to the back the model will fly back to you following the direction of the path (Compass function).

Setting up the Compass & Flyback mode: 

The direction in which the model is facing at the first start is saved as Compass direction. The Compass & Flyback function can only be activated while the model is in the air and by pressing the Compass (A)/Flyback (B) button on your remote control. Indicated by the LEDs and sound from the remote control the model is entering Compass & Flyback mode. The model now automatically follows the programmed compass direction in Flyback mode regardless in which direction it is facing until you move the right control stick. After moving the right control stick the model is automatically in Compass Mode for you to control it on the compass direction. During use of the Compass & Flyback function you need to control the altitude with the throttle stick.

Low Voltage Warning

If the capacity of your battery is nearly empty the model shows this by a low voltage warning. The LEDs at the bottom of the model will start to flash. Now you should quickly make your way back with your model as it lands automatically after approx. 45 seconds.

Caution

Always switch off the model immediately after each use. Immediately after each use the battery should be disconnected from the model. The battery can be deeply discharged by leaving it switched on accidentally or leaving it plugged in. Deep discharge causes the battery to lose power or can be damaged to such an extent that charging or discharging is no longer possible or the battery can self-ignite during charging or discharging (fire hazard). Never attempt to charge or discharge deeply discharged batteries. The battery voltage should never fall below 3 volts to avoid deep discharge.
The fully charged battery has a voltage of approx. 4,2 Volt. After use, the intact battery should be fully charged immediately after a cooling phase of at least 10 minutes but at the latest after 12 hours to avoid subsequent deep discharge by self-discharge. If the battery is not used or stored for a longer period of time, the battery should be checked for voltage (min. 3,9 volts) or damage at least every 3 months and charged or disposed of if necessary.
