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 and throttle trim to the lowest settings. 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.

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. 3. Connect the servo lead from the main board to the camera servo lead port. If the camera does not function through the transmitter after connection, disconnect the lead, rotate the connector and reconnect it so the lead is in the reverse orientation. 4. Press the camera power button.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem Quadcopter control response is inconsistent or requires extra trim to neutralize movement. Quadcopter will not respond to throttle. Quadcopter does not function and smells burnt after connecting the flight battery. Quadcopter has reduced flight time or is underpowered. LED on receiver flashes rapidly and aircraft will not respond to transmitter (during binding). LED on the receiver flashes rapidly and the quadcopter will not respond to the transmitter (after binding).
