First Flight Preparation Flying Checklist • Remove and inspect contents • Begin charging the flight battery • Install the flight battery in the quadcopter (once it has been fully charged) • Program your computer transmitter (BNF only) • Bind your transmitter (BNF only) • Familiarize yourself with the controls • Find a suitable area for flying ❏ Always turn the transmitter on first ❏ Plug the flight battery into the lead from the 5-in-1 control unit ❏ Allow the 5-in-1 control unit to initialize and arm properl
Installing the Landing Gear Install the landing gear using the four included screws. Installing the Transmitter Batteries (RTF) Replace the transmitter batteries when the power LED flashes and the transmitter beeps. Installing the Flight Battery 1 2 3 4 1. Lower the throttle to the lowest setting. 2. Power on the transmitter. 3. Install the battery by sliding it into the battery mounting slot below the 5-in-1 control unit.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding To bind or re-bind your quadcopter to your chosen transmitter, please follow the directions below. General Binding Procedure 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the quadcopter. 2. Select a clean model memory on your transmitter (computer radios only). 3. Select Acro or Airplane model type on your transmitter. 4. Make sure all servo reversing is set to Normal on your transmitter. 5. Center all trims on your transmitter. 6.
™ Technology Revolutionary SAFE™ (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a controlled flight envelope the aircraft can use to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can fly more safely.
Flight Mode and Rate Selection RTF Change flight modes by moving the three-position flight mode switch. Ensure the flight mode switch is in the desired position before flying. • In stability low angle mode (switch position 0), the controls provide a minimum bank angle. This mode is shown by the flight control board on the quadcopter glowing solid blue. • In stability high angle mode (switch position 1), the controls provide for a maximum bank angle.

LED Codes Equipment LED Color Blue Quadcopter Red Red and Blue RTF Transmitter Red LED Status Rapid Blink Solid Slow Blink Solid Solid Blink Blink Solid Operation Bind Mode Stability Mode low angle Stability Mode high angle Agility Mode Low Battery Loss of RF/TX Off Low Rate Hi Rate Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your 180 QX HD, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
Flying the 180 QX HD Takeoff Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground and check the trim so the model flies as desired. Once the trim is adjusted, begin flying the model. Typical flight times for the included battery range from 5 to 10 minutes. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low.
Installation 1. Install the included hook and loop tape on the bottom of the camera, as shown. 2. Install the camera on the model using the included hook and loop strap. C C 3. Connect the servo lead from the main board to the camera servo lead port. B 4. Press the camera power button. The red LED will glow solid during initialization, then turn off. The blue LED will glow solid. Changing Modes The camera comes from the factory in still mode.
Stability Mode Calibration 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Ensure all trims are centered. Power on the transmitter and move the throttle stick to full throttle. Ensure the transmitter is in Stability High or Low Angle Mode. Hold full up elevator. Connect the fully charged flight battery in the quadcopter. Both LEDs will flash red twice, then blue twice for a few seconds. When the LED turns solid blue, lower the throttle and return the elevator to center.
Problem Possible Cause Solution Less than a 5-second wait between first powering on the transmitter and connecting the flight battery to the quadcopter. The quadcopter is bound to a different LED on the receiver flashes rap- model memory (ModelMatch™ transmitidly and the quadcopter will not ters only). respond to the transmitter (after Flight battery or transmitter battery charge binding). is too low. Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object, wireless source or another transmitter.
