Nowthatyoucanarmanddisarmthemotors,armthemonceagaintheyshouldstarttorotate.
Check(VERYCAREFULLY)thattherotorsareallpushingairdownwards(butdon’tactuallytake
off).Ifarotorispushingairupwards,youwillfeelitfromabove,andthisneedstobecorrected.

Range Test
ItisreallyrarethatanRCtransmittermanufacturerwillindicatetherangeoftheremotecontrol.
Assuch,westronglysuggestdoingarangetest.Startwithfresh/fullychargedbatteriesinthe
remotecontrol,andachargedbatteryonthereceiver.
BeforeEACHflight,westronglysuggestyoudoarangetest.Therangetestworksbestwhen
youhavesomeonetohelp.Thepurposeofarangetestistosendasignaltothereceiverand
seeareaction,thisisusuallydonebyarming/disarmingthemotors,movingawayandtrying
again.Youcanstart100feetawayfromthemodelandhaveyourhelperraisetheirarmwhen
themotorsspinup,andlowertheirarmwhentheystop.
Joystick mode
Ifyouareflyingforthefirsttimeandyourremotecontrolallowsit(checktheuserguide),we
suggestsettingittoexponentialmode.Thedifferencebetweenthetwomodesis:
● Standard:Standardjoystickmodelinearlyaddsthrottle.
● Exponential:Exponentialmodemeansthatsmalljoystickmovementsatthecenterwon’t
havemucheffectontheUAV’sbehavior.
Flying
● Whenyoufirstflytheaircraft,it’sbesttothrottleupsotheUAVisairbornequickly.
Hoveringatabout2to3feetoffthegroundisbesttoavoidgroundeffects.
● LevellingtheUAVmaynotcauseittostayinplaceduetomomentum
● Trytosimplyhoverinplaceandavoidanysuddenmovementswiththejoystick.
● Thebatterywilllastaround10to20minutesdependingonmaneuvers
Crash Checklist
Intheeventofacrash:
1. StaycalmandDONOTgrabthecopter
2. Throttledownanddisarmthemotors
3. Unplugthebattery
4. Turnoffyourtransmitter
5. Collectanypieceswhichmayhavebrokenoff
6. Visuallyinspectthepropellersevenslightdamagemaymeantheycannotbereused
(causesimbalanceleadingtovibrationsetc)
7. Visuallyinspecttheframeandcheckforcracksorbrokenparts
8. Checkthatnoscrewshavecomeloose,especiallythoseholdingthemotorsinplace
