FLYING INSTRUCTIONS

after successfully pairing the the shoX hornet with the controller, please see the following steps on how to fly your shoX hornet:

FINE TUNING

during flight, it is normal for the shoX hornet to go off-course slightly. but if it drifts constantly without any Input from the controller sticks, you have to adjust the trim controls to compensate for the drifting. right possible. press the trim button again. if you hear a beep, the adjustment was successful.

SHOX HORNET CALIBRATION

the shoX hornet can sometimes become unresponsive to the trim adjustments you make if it has experienced numerous crashes against hard objects. in this situation, a recalibration of the shoX hornet’s 6-axis gyro sensor Is required . this procedure will usually correct a consistent drifting & altitude holding problem.

HEADLESS MODE INSTRUCTIONS

when you activate headless mode, the shoX hornet will disregard the original orientation (the direction the camera facing is the forward direction) and the onboard flight computer will align the shoX hornet’s movements to be relative to the controller.

in headless mode, it does not matter which way the shoX hornet’s forward direction (camera) is facing. when you push right joystick forward, the shoX hornet moves forward relative to your direction, not the heading of the forward direction (camera direction). the headless mode is perfect for novice and beginner pilots.

to activate headless mode, simply press the headless mode button. the shoX hornet’s status lights will blink to indicate that your shoX hornet is headless mode and return to normal flight mode.

FLYING TIPS & TRICKS

• small adjustments made slowly and carefully are the best way to fly well .
• use the controller’s left and right control sticks at different angles and positions to execute some wide, smooth turns. quick thrusts of the control sticks In different directions can create some unique tricks or stunts.
• perform “pirouettes” by rotating around 360° in the air.
• when the battery begins to run low, the shoX hornet will respond lowly or be unable to maintain altitude easily before power to the motors is cut off completely, press the one-key landing button to attitude easily. before power to the motors is cut off completely, press the one-key landing button to make ii land safely.
• you’ll know it’s time to recharge the shoX hornet’s battery when the shoX hornet is unable to take off and its status lights start blinking.

360° FLIP INSTRUCTIONS

if you feel comfortable with the basic control, you can can try some of the more advanced flying manoeuvres like 360* flips.

to perform a 360° flip, fly the shoX hornet about 150cm above the ground. press the 360° flip button to activate flip mo9e and move the right control stick in the direction you want to flip. immediately after loss of altitude. After 360° flip, the shoX hornet will return back in normal flying mode.

when attempting flips, the higher up the shoX hornet is from the ground, the more space it will have to property recover afterwards. it is recommended to perform flips in open-space areas that are free of obstructions.

SPEED MODE SETTINGS

when you first connect to your shoX hornet, it will automatically be in speed 1 mode. that is the lowest speed and recommended for indoor flying. press the speed control button to change the speed.

the controller will beep to let you know which speed setting you have chosen:

• one short beep for speed 1
• two short beeps for speed 2
• three beeps for speed 3 which Is the highest speed and Is ideal for outdoor flying

learn to fly at the lowest speed, and then increase the speed rate after you’ve become familiar with flying the drone and using all .the features.
