Charging Warnings

7EN
Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V, the battery may become damaged and may no longer accept a charge.
The nano QX 4-in-1 control unit protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the
battery charge decreases too much, LVC becomes active. Power to the motors decrease and the LED on the 4-in-1 control
unit blinks, showing some battery power is reserved for flight control and safe landing.
When the motor power decreases, please land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. During storage, make
sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Installing the Transmitter Batteries (RTF)
Install 4 AA batteries into the transmitter, noting polarity. Replace the
transmitter batteries when the power LED flashes and the transmitter
beeps.
Flight Battery Charging
Your aircraft comes with a 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po battery
charger and 1S 3.7V 150mAh 45C Li-Po battery.
Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended
to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting
the aircraft. The flight battery will be required to
confirm proper aircraft operation in future steps.
NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not
damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
1. Insert the charger into a USB port. The charger only uses power from the USB port, it will not connect to your computer.
USB power supplies, such as those used to charge cellular phones, can also be used.
2. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger and press it into the charge jack/connector located at the bottom of the slot.

Flight Mode and Rate Selection – RTF
The nano QX RTF model comes with the Blade®MLP4DSM transmit-
ter. This transmitter’s flight mode selection feature lets the pilot
change between stability mode and agility mode.
• When powered on, this transmitter is automatically in
stability mode and high rate.
• Change flight modes by pressing and releasing the left control stick
while the transmitter is powered on. Change rates by pressing and
releasing the right control stick.
• In low-rate mode, the controls cannot reach their maximum values.
This mode is typically preferred by pilots looking for smoother/
easier control response during first time use.
• In high-rate mode, the controls can reach their maximum values. This mode is typically preferred by experienced
pilots who are ready for fast forward flight and aerobatic maneuvers (loops, rolls, etc.).
• Stability mode is shown by the flight control board on the quadcopter glowing solid blue. When flown in stability
mode, the nano QX will limit the bank angle with full control input and return the aircraft to a neutral flight position
when you release the elevator/aileron stick. This mode is typically preferred by pilots during first time use.
• Agility mode is shown by the flight control board on the quadcopter glowing solid red. When flown in agility mode,
the model will not return to a neutral flight position when you release the controls. This mode is typically preferred
by experienced pilots who are ready for fast forward flight and aerobatic maneuvers (loops, rolls, etc.).
Flight Mode Selection – BNF
If you purchased a BNF nano QX, the channel 6 switch on your transmitter will select flight modes. When the flight
control board on the quadcopter is solid blue, the flight mode is set to self-stabilizing mode. When the light is solid red,
the quadcopter is in agility mode. See the table on the following page for specific setup information.

4-in-1 Control Unit Function
The unique Control Unit installed in your nano QX is a lightweight combination of main motor electronic speed controls
(ESCs), mixers, the SAFE™ sensor unit, and a DSM2/DSMX receiver. The 4-in-1 unit is also equipped with blue and red
status indicator LEDs.
• Before each flight, ALWAYS power on the transmitter before connecting the flight battery to the 4-in-1 unit. After each
flight, disconnect the flight battery from the 4-in-1 unit before powering off the transmitter.
Connecting the flight battery before powering on the transmitter can start the binding process. Please see the Transmitter
and Receiver Binding section of this manual for more information.
• The 4-in-1 unit will arm the motors when the throttle stick is in the lowest possible position and the throttle trim is at
the middle or a lower than middle position (the middle position is indicated by a longer than usual beep/tone). If this is
the first test flight, or a test flight following repairs, also center the rudder, aileron and elevator trims.
• With the transmitter turned on and the transmitter LED glowing solid RED, connect the flight battery to the 4-in-1 unit.
• After the flight battery is connected, place the nQX on a level surface. The 4-in-1 unit status LED should glow solid
BLUE within a few seconds.
• DO NOT move, sway or pretend to fly the quadcopter after connecting the flight battery. Movement can stop unit initial-
ization and SAFE calibration. If the quadcopter is moved before the 4-in-1 unit status LED glows solid BLUE, disconnect
then connect the flight battery to the 4-in-1 unit.
• When the 4-in-1 unit status LED glows solid BLUE, the control unit is initialized and ready for flight.
• As long as you set the throttle stick and trim to the correct positions during the initialization process, the ESC or motors
will be armed. Use caution after arming, as the propellers will turn at throttle stick input.

• After confirming the rotor blades rotate in the correct direction, test the motor response controls.
• Adjust the throttle to a low level of power where the quadcopter begins to get “light” on its landing skids.
• Move the rudder stick a small amount to the right. The nose of the quadcopter should start to rotate
to the right (clockwise).
• Move the rudder stick a small amount to the left. The nose of the quadcopter should start to rotate to the left
(counter-clockwise). If the nose moves to the right, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
• Move the elevator control stick forward. The two REAR landing skids should lift from the floor.
• Move the elevator control stick backward. The two FRONT landing skids should lift from the floor.
• Move the aileron stick right. The two LEFT landing skids should lift from the floor.
• Move the aileron stick left. The two RIGHT landing skids should lift from the floor.
• When rotors turn correctly and respond correctly to controls, your nano QX is ready for its first flight!
First Flight
• Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and concentrate
on balancing the throttle stick’s position so that the nano QX holds a steady hover altitude. In some cases, you may
need to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs
and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
The nano QX requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover. Remember to keep these throttle
adjustments as minimal as possible. Large adjustments could result in a loss of control and/or a possible crash.
• While attempting to establish a low-level hover, check to see if any trim adjustments are required to help keep the
nano QX from constantly drifting in various directions. If you find that it constantly drifts without any directional control
input, land the model before making any adjustments to the trim settings. Additional details regarding the
location and function of the trim buttons are in the “Understanding the Primary Flight Controls” section of this manual.
– If the nose of the nano QX rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim.
– If the nano QX continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim.
– If the nano QX continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim.
Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little drifting and directional
control input. If the nano QX is your first multicopter or helicopter, seek the help of an experienced pilot to trim the model
for you before making your first flight.
• With your nano QX properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover, practice using the rudder, elevator and
aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the machine’s responses to control inputs. Remember to keep the control
inputs as minimal as possible.
Flying the nano QX

18
EN
TIP: These are all possible with the RTF transmitter. When using a computer transmitter, however, increase the
travel beyond 100% on aileron, elevator or rudder for maximum control authority.
• Forward Flight
• Backward Flight
• Skidding Takeoffs
• Pirouettes
• Spot Landings
• Skidding Landings
• Circuits (Circles)
• Figure 8s
• Flips and Rolls
Once you have gained experience and confidence in hovering the nano QX, you can attempt more advanced
maneuvers including:
• When comfortable with low-level hovering, you can transition to hovering and flying the nano QX at higher altitudes of
three to four feet. At these higher altitudes, you will become comfortable with the flight characteristics of the aircraft.
• Don’t be afraid to set the nano QX down on the ground quickly by lowering the throttle when approaching walls or
other obstacles to help prevent propeller strikes.
Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist
√
Cleaning Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or
a dry, lint-free cloth.
Motors Replace the motor when the model will not fly steady or veers off when doing a climb out.
Wiring Make sure the wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
