Charging the Battery
Information and Procedure
The craft’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. To avoid risk of injury or damage, be sure the craft and remote control are both powered OFF and remove the battery from the craft when charging. Charging time is approximately 70-90 minutes. Charge fully before use for best performance. Connect the battery plug to the USB charging plug, then connect the USB end (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or USB power adapter (not included).
While charging, the cable will display a red light.
When charging Is complete, the light will turn OFF.
-
Remove the battery from the bottom of the craft.
-
Be sure to correctly match the plug to the charging port or damage may occur.
REMINDER: Do not charge overnight. Do riot leave unattended while charging.
Flying
Remote Link & Calibration
Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the
gyroscopes on the craft must be allowed to calibrate.
Begin with the battery installed, the battery compartment closed. and the
craft and remote powered OFF.
-
Step 1
Power ON the craft and place it on a flat surface. This is necessary for the craft’s gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on the craft will blink as it searches for a signal from the remote.
Be sure the craft and yourself are facing the same forward direction, this will help with orientation while flying.
-
Step 2
Power ON the remote. The light on the remote will blink as it searches for the signal from the craft. An audible chime will sound when the remote and the craft have linked. -
Step 3
Push the Left Control Stick (throttle) fully forward, wait for a chime to sound. then pull the stick fully rearward, and wait for a second chime.
-
Step 4
To start/stop the rotors, push both control sticks down and to the outside as shown in the diagram. Once the rotors have started. the craft is ready for flight.
Trim Adjustment & Countering Drift
Even after a craft is calibrated. it may still drift while airborne. To counter this effect you can adjust the trim for better control. However, adjusting the trim may not entirely eliminate drifting. Air currents and other factors can still affect the crafts handling.
Making Trim Adjustments
Press the Trim buttons to adjust the craft trim accordingly.
For example, if the craft is drifting forward, press the Backward Trim
button until the craft is balanced.
To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover and
adjust one trim setting at a time to avoid confusion.

Remote Trim Reset
If you are still having difficulty flying, it may help to reset the trim
adjustments on the remote. Do not attempt to do this while flying, safely land
the craft first.
Press the Trim Reset button on the remote. The remote wilt chime once, and
the lights on the craft will blink rapidly. When the Lights return to normal
the trim reset is complete.
Gyroscope Recalibration
If the craft is having difficulty flying or is behaving erratically, it’s
gyroscopes may need to be recalibrated. Do not attempt to do this while
flying, safely land the craft first, and place it on a flat surface.
Note: The craft and the remote should already be linked together.
Pull down and to the right on both control sticks for 2-3 seconds. The remote
will chime once. and the Lights on the craft wilt blink rapidly. When the
lights return to normal, the recalibration is complete.
Flight Controls
When You’re Finished Flying
After landing, keep the Left Control Stick (throttle) in the lowest
position and wait for the rotors to stop spinning. Power OFF the remote
BEFORE powering OFF the craft. This will ensure that no signals are
accidentally sent by the remote, reducing the chance of injury. After this is
done. it is safe to pick up and power OFF the craft.
Tips for Safe Operation
- It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like power tines, trees, ceiling fans, etc.
- When flying indoors avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft may be drawn towards them if closer than 2-3 feet.
- Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing the same “forward” direction. This wilt help with orientation when the craft is airborne.
- Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately to get used to the craft’s flying characteristics. Try using one control at a time.
- Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing.
- If you get into trouble or if anything obstructs the rotors, cut power immediately and safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.
Speed Setting
Press the Speed button on the remote to change the craft’s speed setting.
- Low: Provides smooth and predictable control of the craft. The remote wilt chime once to indicate the low speed setting.
- Medium: The craft wilt move and respond faster to all control inputs. The remote wilt chime twice to indicate the medium speed setting.
- High: Highest setting for maximum performance. The remote will chime three times to indicate the high speed setting.
Headless Mode
Before using Headless Mode be sure you and the craft are facing the same ‘forward’ direction, otherwise the craft will not fly correctly. To activate Headless Mode, press the Headless Mode button on the remote control. All of the LEO lights will flash while Headless Mode is ON. Press the button again to deactivate Headless Mode.
While Headless Mode is active the craft will fly in whatever direction the Right Control Stick is moved, regardless of where the front of the craft Is pointing. For example, if the front of the craft was pointed straight ahead but is now pointed right 90°, when you push forward on the stick the craft will fly forwards as if it was still pointed straight ahead. This can be useful if you become disoriented while flying and cannot visually determine which direction the craft is facing.
Flips
Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is enough clear space around the
craft ideally 9-10 ft in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to
flip around or through any obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage.
Press the 360° Flip button and the craft will automatically do a flip.
