SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ AND HEED the following safety
precautions.
BATTERIES
Never overcharge batteries as these may become
excessively hot and explode.
Always charge in a well ventilated area
Use only designated batteries with designated balance
chargers
Dispose of batteries according to the legal re uirements
in your country
Never put batteries in the fire
Keep out of reach of small children
Replace with correct and accepted type of batteries when
damaged
QUADCOPTER
Check that all screws, bolts and wires are in good
condition and properly tightened
Check that batteries of uadcopter, gimbal (if installed),
camera (if installed) and remote control are fully charged
and not damaged.

OPERATION (FLYING AKA “PILOTING”)
1. Fly only in designated areas
2. Fly away from buildings and power lines
3. Fly away from people such as in a park
4. Fly away from animals
5. Fly away from water bodies and trees
6. Do not wear loose clothing as this may get
entangled with turning propellers
7. Do not try to to touch propellers that are turning
8. If designated areas are not available only fly in
large open areas

PREAMBLE
The reason for the development of this specific manual is
because of the very poor Chinese to English translation
that has spawened the word Chinglish which does not
provide clear instructions on the assembly or operations
linked to this uadcopter.
The Chinglish manual uses words and grammar that
makes it completely useless in some instances.
However through much support of YouTube videos and
support from the AOSENMA CG035 Facebook
community this manual will fulfil most users` needs.
In actual fact the very comprehensive troubleshooting
section by Elio Bruce is more complete than most other
uadcopter manuals.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
Although due care was take that all
i structio s a d safety precautio s will allow
the pilot (operator) to safely operate this
machi e the writers a d/or other co tributors
of this ma ual ca ot be held respo sible for
a y i juries or death, damage to property or
a y other i cide ts resulti g from the use of
or activity associated with the operatio of
this quadcopter aircraft.

INTRODUCTION
The AOSENMA CG035 Quadcopter is a toy grade
uadcopter and designed for “playing” only. It is NOT
suitable for commercial or serious hobby (such as racing)
use.
The above notwithstanding it is recommended that only
persons with some RC experience use it or is available to
teach novice pilots the correct way to setup and operate
the controls.

FLIGHT CONTROLS (by courtecy Elio Bruce)
For those new to the CG035 and the world of drone flight
in particular there are listed below the instructions on the
use of the controller as well as functional details of all the
buttons and switches.
Co troller Stick fu ctio s (picture and annotation by Duc RED)
The 2 distinct flight modes are described later during the
controller setup and calibration as having two modes and

is by default in mode 2, the differences are outlined below
(importantly!) with the CG035 facing in the same
direction you are:
I both modes 1 a d 2:
Right stick:
Left = Slide Left
Right = Slide Right
Left stick:
Left = Rotate/Yaw Left
Right = Rotate/Yaw Right.
I mode 1:
Right stick:
Forward = higher (throttle up).
Backwards = lower (throttle down).
Left stick:
Forward = away from you.
Backwards = closer to you.
I mode 2 (the most common and default for the cg035):
Right stick:

Forward = away from you.
Backwards = closer to you.
Left stick:
Forward = higher (throttle up).
Backwards = lower (throttle down).
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you have the uadcopter facing towards you then
sliding and forward/reverse controls are inverted in
relation to you!
Sliding to the left is accomplished by pushing left on the
left stick, sliding right is moving the stick right!
Moving forward is backwards and backwards is
forwards!
To eliminate the above that will cause confusion to an
unexperienced pilot, you can use Headless Mode as
outlined further below.

QUADCOPTER IDENTIFICATION OF PARTS
Viewing the uadcopter from above. (picture & annotation by Duc RED)
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTICE
It is extremely importa t to realise that the labeli g of the
motors o the schematic o page 4 of the Chi glish ma ual is
CONFUSING because of the upside dow a d left to right view
of the quadcopter from the bottom.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE
Unpack all parts, cables and batteries from packaging.
Check all parts, cables and batteries for damage that
could cause failure and subse uent damage, or personal
harm to people, of the uadcopter when in operation.
The uadcopter comes with all electronics and motors
pre-assembled.
Place the main section (body) of the uadcopter on a
large clean work surface with the front of the machine
pointing towards you.
Lay out all parts in it`s relative positions around the main
body. This will make it easier to assemble parts correctly.
La di g gear
Normally the landing gear is installed first, however you
may specifically want to leave that till after the maiden
flight, particularly if you are not a competent flyer with
experience in piloting RC e uipment, as the landing gear
may be damaged in an uncontrolled landing.
If you want to assemble the landing gear turn the
uadcopter over with the underside up. Take care to not
damage the GPS unit that is now pointing towards the
worksurface. Hold the landing gear in proper position
and fasten with the supplied screws. Do this for both
sides. Seeing that the landing gear parts are not

identical it does matter which side it is assembled. Turn
the uadcopter back to the normal position and stand it
on the landing gear.
Next up is the installation of the propeller guards.
Propeller guards
The above graphic is a composite with one guard
installed. (created from 2 different graphics by Duc RED)

The propeller guards needs to be assembled by pressing
the thin guides into place. No screws needed.
The original kit comes with 4 identical propeller guards
which means that these are all interchangeable to be
installed in any of the four positions.
The uadcopter needs to be turned over with the
underside in the up position in order to install the
propeller guards.

To prevent the screws that hold the motors from vibrating
loose and falling out just fill the plastic holder with li uid
silicone. (photo and description by courtecy Rene
Peerboom)
Another way of preventing the screws from becomeing
loose and falling out is by using “screw” glue such as
Locktite Mild or plugging with light weight foam.
Using Loctite or silicone are not the best options as it will
cause disassembly problems later.

Propellers
There are TWO sets of two propellers each. One set is
designated as CW which is clockwise rotation and the
other set is CCW which is counterclockwise rotation. It is
important that the sets are installed on the correct motors
as failure to do so may result in damage to the
uadcopter and or the person operating the craft.
IMPORTANT NOTE – How to distinguish between CW
and CCW propellers
Lay all propellers on a flat surface with the “rounded”
surface up as in the following graphic. The side of the
propeller that is furthest from the flat surface is called the
leading edge and that id also the direction in which the
blad will rotate. An alternative is to buy “self-tightening”
propellers that will fit one way only.
Most toy grade propellers are mass produced and are not
balanced. Balancing the propellers will get rid of a lot of
vibration and even some of the jello effect when filming.
In order to balance propellers properly you will need
access to a propeller balancing tool such as the OCDAY
Tru-Spin Prop Propeller Balancer or the GOOLRC
Carbon Fibre Propeller Balancer or if you are crafty
enough and have some perspex materials laying around
you could make your own.

(picture and annotation by Duc RED)
Install the CCW propeller blades, with the silver caps,
onto motors M1 and M3 and tighten firmly by hand.
Install the CW propeller blades, with the black caps, onto
motors M2 and M4 and tighten firmly by hand.
NOTE: However you may specifically want to leave that
till after the calibration of the uadcopter and the remote
controller after testing all functions as suggested by Elio
Bruce.
