Getting to know your WildFX Remote Control
Your WildFX Drone will allow you to change the Throttle Stick to the right and the Directional
Stick to the left position. With the Controller off, hold down the Aileron Trim button while
turning on the Controller. Then release the Aileron Trim button. Mode 2 is set by default.
Note: The default setting switches the Throttle to the right-hand stick and the Directional
control to the left-hand stick. If you are in Right-Hand Throttle Mode, you will need to take
this switch into account in following any of the directions in this manual.

Getting ready for your first flight! Checklist.
Check Your Flight Environment
Always fly on a sunny, bright day with as little wind as possible. Flying in extreme
heat or cold will affect your ability to properly control your drone.
Always be sure to have adequate space around you to fly the vehicle. Be aware of
your surroundings to make sure people or pets are not in the immediate vicinity.
•Be sure so secure loose hair and/or clothing.
• Be sure to have at least 10 feet of clear space in all
directions.
•Make sure your unit is fully charged to avoid erratic
flying and proper response from your drone.
•Be sure to have fresh batteries in the remote control.
• Make sure to not fly over/around any water, as falling
into water will damage the drone.
• Check all your propellers for damage before flying.

Pairing your drone unit to the remote control.
After you’ve fully charged your drone and properly installed the batteries in
your controller, you’re ready to use your Wild FX. Before each use, you must
pair the drone with the controller so they can communicate with each other.
2. Turn on the controller. It will beep
once. Move the throttle throttle (the
left-hand stick in default mode) stick
up to the 12 o”clock position.
3. Then move the throttle all the way
down to the six o’clock position. The
controller’s and the drone’s lights
will stop flashing and show a steady
light, indicating a successful pairing.
Note: After "Step 3," be patient. It may take up to 7 seconds for
the lights to stop flashing, confirming a successful pairing.
1. Turn on the drone and place it on a flat surface.
2. Its indicator lights will flash.
(NOTE: You will need to re-pair the units after each flight or after the units are turned off.)

How to Start/Stop the Motors How to Start/Stop the Motors
1. Once your units are paired, you’re ready to arm the motors—to get the propellers
spinning. Start the motors by pushing both sticks at the same time. Simultaneously
push the left hand throttle stick to the 7 o’clock position and the right-hand throttle
stick to the 5 o’clock position. The propellers on the quadcopter will start to spin, not
enough to lift the quadcopter, but they’re ready for command to take off!
2. To stop the motors (for example, after landing), again push the sticks at the
same time to the 5 and 7 o’clock positions and hold them there for 2 seconds. The
propellers will stop spinning.

Controlling your WildFX Drone while in flight!
To take off you have two options: 1. Auto Take -Off
2. Manual Operation
Option 1 –Auto Take-Off
With the units paired and the drone on a flat surface, push up the Auto Take-off
button. Your drone should rise to an altitude of about 2 feet off of the surface. adjust
altitude by pushing the Throttle (left-hand) stick up to fly higher and push it down to
fly lower. To maintain altitude, release the throttle so that it returns to the center.
Option 2 –Manual Operation
With the units paired and the motors started and in motion and the propellers
spinning, push up on the throttle stick (Diagram shows Left-Handed Mode 2).
Depending on weather conditions, have the drone climb to an altitude of about 3-4
feet. Adjust altitude by pushing the Throttle (left-hand) stick up to fly higher and
push it down to fly lower. To maintain altitude, release the throttle so that it returns
to the center.

Controlling your WildFX Drone while in flight!
Practice maneuvering by using the
Directional (right-hand) Stick, going to the
left and right and forward and backward
(toward you). Keep your drone within 25
feet so that it maintains contact with your
controller. Be cautious whenever your
drone is flying toward you or anyone else.
Do not permit your drone to get too close.
You can always push the Auto-Landing
button if necessary. (See “Landing,” next
page.)
Notice that the two blue LEDs indicate the
front of the Drone. Giving it the command to
fly forward will send it in the direction of its
front. If you need to reposition the front of
the Drone for better control, push the
Throttle Stick to the left or right to turn the
Drone in flight.
Whenever you want to land, press the (A) Auto-Landing button. (This is a handy
button for emergencies—when your Drone gets dangerously close to people or
objects.) You can also practice landing “manually” by using the Throttle Stick (B) to
slowly lower your Drone. After landing, disarm the motors. (See page 13.)

When your Drone is flying at a fixed altitude, push the Throttle Stick to the left to rotate the Drone
counter-clockwise, or push the Throttle Stick to the right to rotate the Drone clockwise.
Fast Rotation (Requires Advanced Mode setting)
You can perform flips and rolls in any of the three modes. Press the Directional Stick straight down and
release it. The Controller will beep once, indicating that Flip-Roll Mode is turned on. While the Controller
beeps, move the move the Directional Stick quickly in the direction in which the Flip-Roll is wanted (right or left).
NOTE: Make sure there is enough space in each direction before performing a Flip-Roll, and keep a safe height of
at least 3 ½ feet. Flips and Rolls are better performed while ascending, as it is then easier to maintain altitude.

Mode Settings Advanced Features
You can fly in 3 unique modes: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced. Your unit is
in Beginner Mode as its default setting. To change flying modes, while the
Controller is on, gently press the Throttle Stick straight down. The Controller will
beep once, indicating it’s in Beginner Mode. Gently press the Throttle Stick
straight down again, and the Controller will beep twice, indicating it’s in
Intermediate Mode. Gently press the Throttle Stick straight down once more
time, and the Controller will beep three times, indicating it’s in Advanced Mode.

If your Drone begins to be unstable during flight or drifts quickly to
one direction, correct these problems by trimming the unit.
1. Place the Drone on a flat surface. Turn on the Drone and the
Controller and pair them.
2. Enter the Advance Mode (see above) by pressing the Throttle Stick
and releasing it three times.
3. Push the Throttle Stick and Directional Stick to the lowest right
corner (7 o’clock position) and hold them there. The indicator lights
will flash for 1-2 seconds. Release the sticks. Wait until the LEDs stop
flashing, which will indicate a successful calibration.
If your Drone drifts/moves to the right without any input from the directional
stick, then push the left trim button. Adjust as necessary.
If your Drone drifts/moves to the left without any input from the directional
stick, then push the right trim button. Adjust as necessary.
