On/Off
% Press the On/Off button on the transmitter. Press and hold the On/Off button on the aircraft
until the red LED on the aircraft begins to blink. When you remove your finger, the LED’s on
the aircraft and the transmitter will turn solid red to show they are now paired. To arm the
motors, move the left stick to the top until you hear one beep, then pull the stick all the way
down until you hear a second beep.
% In hover mode, press the Auto-Take Off/Land button or move the left stick up and the Hover
Cross will begin to move forward. To take off in drone mode, press theAuto-Take Off/Land
button and the unit will climb to an altitude of 1.5 to 2 meters and maintain a steady hover.
% See the transmitter diagram for movements and control during operation.
% If the HoverCross tends to “drift” in any direction during flight, use the trim buttons as shown in
the transmitter diagram.

Operating Instructions (cont.)
% The HoverCross has 3 flying rates – beginner, intermediate, and expert. The slide switch
shown in the transmitter diagram moves left to right in progression for the rates. The transmitter
will beep to let you know which rate is currently being used – 1 beep for beginner, 2 for
intermediate, and 3 for expert. It is recommended to start flights in beginner and progress as
your flying skills increase. When flying aggressively in either Intermediate or Expert rates,
you may notice the aircraft enter “protection” mode as it will pause for a moment to restabilize
before continuing the flight.
% To flip from one mode to another, press the L button on the top left of the transmitter.
% For 360 flips in drone mode, press the R button on the top right of the transmitter and the right
transmitter stick to the direction you want to flip. In hover mode this button initiates a jump.
% To land the HoverCross in drone mode, either press the Auto-Take Off/Land button or slowly
lower the left transmitter stick. To stop in hover mode, lower the left transmitter stick.
% The calibration step is used to reset the gyro stabilization
system of the HoverCross. It is important to use this process
after a crash or whenever you find the unit is flying erratically.
% First, turn on the transmitter. Then, place the HoverCross on
a level surface in hover mode. Press the On/Off button to
turn on the unit and then pair with the transmitter.
% Move both transmitter sticks to the outside bottom
simultaneously as shown in the diagram.
% The red LED’s will flash quickly for a few seconds. When the
flashing stops, the HoverCross has been reset and is ready
for either hover or drone mode.
Calibration
Prop Replacement
% There are 2 types of props used on the aircraft. Props marked 1
or 3 are counterclockwise rotation and props 2 and 4 are for
clockwise rotation.
Make sure that the replacement prop is of the correct type as
shown on the drawing or by looking at the number on the bottom
side of the blade tips.
% When replacing a prop make sure that it is not pushed on to the
shaft so tightly that it inhibits the ability of the prop to spin freely.
