2. Slide the battery into the battery

compartment, tuck the wires into the

opening, and close the battery cover.

When you are ready to take off, place

the quadcopter on a level surface and

the LED to be steady “ON”. This allows

the TAGS-FX control board to calibrate.

NOTE: The 230Si will be “ON” at this point. Your quadcopter has a safe

start feature built in that prevents the motor from activating unless the

throttle stick has been lowered to the lowest position. If the motors won’t

run, please make sure the throttle stick is all the way down and the throttle

trim is at or below center. Wait a couple of seconds and try advancing the

throttle again.

Takeoff

Advance the throttle until the model is at least 2 feet off the ground and out

of ground effect. If flying outdoors it’s important to stick to light winds. If you

plan to take off and land in grass, place a rubber mat or pad down on the

grass so the small rotating parts don’t get hung up in the grass.

Hovering

Once the quad is in the air simply try to keep it in one spot. This will take

some practice. Remember that even a light breeze will have an effect on the

stability of the quad.

Landing

Level the quad into a steady hover and slowly decrease power until it lands.

You might notice as the quadcopter is ready to touch down it moves around

a little. This is normal as the quadcopter enters ground effect.

BASIC MANEUVERS

Once you are comfortable with hovering in one place, start working on

orientations. By this we mean, hover the quadcopter in all positions, nose

to the right, nose to the left and the nose pointing at you (nose-in). Getting

good at this fundamental discipline will allow you to progress much faster

in some of the more advanced flying maneuvers.
