FLYING TIPS
• It is recommended that you operate the SPYDER X™ in a wide space. The ideal space should
have a 200foot radius.
• Parental guidance or adult supervision is suggested at all times.
• If you are flying the SPYDER X™ with others, make sure all spectators are behind you.
• For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the SPYDER X™ in zero wind conditions.
Wind can greatly affect the performance of the SPYDER X™.
Important! When syncing your SPYDER X™
drone with the controller always make sure that the
drone is on a flat level surface. This insures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic
your trim settings.
Your SPYDER X™
utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly
side by side in the same wireless range.
For One Person Play:
1. Before starting, make sure that the power on your controller is in the OFF position and SPYDER X™
battery is disconnected. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.
2. Insert the battery into the SPYDER X™ to turn on and set it down on a flat surface. The white and red
LED indicators of the SPYDER X™ should flash rapidly.
3. ON the remote , pull the throttle all the way down, then turn ON your remote and You will hear 2
short beeps, the white and red LED lights start flashing slower, Push the throttle all the way up and
pull it down, your SPYDER X™ and remote should have successfully synced. Should this not happen,
repeat all steps again.
For Multi Person Play:
4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all SPYDER X™ and Controllers are in the OFF position.
Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.
5. Each person will have to sync their SPYDER X™ individually at a different time to avoid interference.
Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure to keep away from other people while also making sure that
no one else is syncing at the same time.
6. After syncing a players SPYDER X™ it should be left ON until all players have synced their SPYDER X™.
7. Should there be a mistake/interference, all players must turn off their controllers and SPYDER X™ and
start the process all over again.
SYNCING YOUR SPYDER X™
DO NOT FLY YOUR SPYDER X™ IN FOUL WEATHER!
WARNING
• Verify that there are 2 “AAA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the SPYDER X™ has been fully charged.
• Make sure to be in a large space with an open radius of at least 50 feet.
• Make sure the empty space has no obstacles or bodies of water. Set your SPYDER X™ on a clean flat surface before
take-off.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR SPYDER X™ IF THERE IS RAIN, SNOW, HEAVY WINDS, THUNDER OR
LIGHTNING OUTDOORS. IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT AND POSSIBLY EVEN CAUSE BODILY HARM.

RECOGNIZING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE SPYDER X™
Even though the SPYDER X™ has four rotors there is still a front or "forward"
facing direction and "back"or backwards facing direction. The forward Front
and forward facing direction of the SPYDER X™ is the side with two eyes. The
rear and back of the SPYDER X™ is where the battery compartment is. The
SPYDER X™ when in flight will also help you keep aware of the orientation
with lighted LED lights in the arms of the SPYDER X™.
NOTE: The front of the copter displays WHITE LED lights and the back of the
copter displays RED LED lights.
3/4 CHANNEL SELECT
SPYDER X™ allows you to control your Quadrocopter in 3 channel mode (beginner) or 4 channel mode
(advanced flying). The
SPYDER X™ default setting is 4 Channel mode.
To change to 3 Channel mode: PRESS the 3CH button (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will hear 3 short
beeps and the “3 CH”will light up on the controller indicating the SPYDER X™ now is set to 3CH mode.
To change back to 4 Channel mode: PRESS the 4CH button (see remote diagram on pg 3), you will hear 4 short
beeps and the “4 CH”will light up on the controller indicating the SPYDER X™ is now set to 4CH mode.
NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!
If you have successfully synced your SPYDER X™ to your controller as explained on page 4 you are now
ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how to start and stop
the rotors, how to use your Auto Start and Auto Land feature and how the controls work so please carefully
read and familiarize yourself with various control features explained in the next two pages. Once again as
a beginner pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on a day with zero
or very light wind. Do not try to fly your SPYDER X™ too high until you become a more experience pilot.
HOW TO START ROTORS IN (T or 1) MODE
The SPYDER X™ requires you to manually start the rotors when the speed is set to T mode or mode 1 (SLOW).
Make sure you have properly synced the SPYDER X™.
• Set the speed to T mode or 1 (SLOW) mode and then simply press and release the “START/LAND” button on
the top of controller, the Spyder X’s rotors should begin to spin and now you are ready for take-off.
• To stop or land the SPYDER X™ just press and hold the “START/LAND” button for 1.5 second, the SPYDER X™
rotors will decend and land automatically.
Note: The Start/Land button will automactically shut off when your speed set to 2 (MEDIUM) and 3(HIGH).
Tips: You also can move the two control sticks simultaneously down and to the outside corners and hold for
one second instead of press the “Start/Land” button.
SPEED SETTING BUTTON
The SPYDER X™ has 3 speed settings; 1 (SLOW) , 2 (MEDIUM) and 3(HIGH). The Default setting when you
first turn on your SPYDER X™ is the 1 (SLOW) speed mode. To increase the speed simply press the speed
setting button (see remote diagram on page 3) You will hear a beep and the speed indicator will display the
current speed setting with the Number. Number 1indicates slow speed, 2indicates medium speed and 3
indicate high speed.
Note: the Altitude lock will automatically shut off when your speed set to 2 (MEDIUM) and 3(HIGH).
T MODE (Training Mode)
Simply press and hold down the Speed Setting Button for 3 seconds, you will hear a long beep and a “T”will
appear on the front panel of the controller, Now you are in the T mode. T mode allows you learn how to
operate your SPYDER X™ in a very slow speed. To exit T mode just press the speed setting button again.
4CH3CH
NOTE: The use of the Trim buttons are accompanied with a Beep tone. A single long Beep indicates the
product is center trimmed. Continuous long Beeps indicate the product is trimmed to the maximum on a
particular side.

Forward/Backward Trim
�• If your SPYDER X™ is moving forwards or backwards automatically, you may need to adjust the
FORWARD/BACKWARD TRIM buttons.
•�If your SPYDER X™ flies forward, push and release the B TRIM button repeatedly until the
moving stops and proper flight is maintained.
•�If your SPYDER X™ flies backwards, push and release the F TRIM button in the same manner
until the problem is resolved.
• From time to time you may have to adjust the FORWARD/BACKWARD TRIM to ensure the
SPYDER X™ will hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands.
Banking Left/Right Trim
• If your SPYDER X™ is not steadily hovering and is banking to the left or right automatically, you
may need to adjust the BANKING TRIM buttons.

REPLACING THE PROPELLER BLADE
Your SPYDER X™ propeller system is a precision instrument that may need repair or replacement from
time to time for optimal flight function. Crash landing from high-speed aerial flights may cause damage
to your SPYDER X™ propellers.
1. The SPYDER X™ has four blades, two A &B blades on front,
and two B &A blades on back (see the diagram below ).
2. Pick up a blade from the included spare parts and match
the marking to the diagram
below .
3. Replacing the correct blade to the broken blade.
HOW TO DO 360º STUNT ROLLS
1. In order to make your SPYDER X™ do 360ºrolls you must fully charge your battery.
Note: The SPYDER X™ will not do 360º stunt rolls in T-Mode, Mode1 and under low battery
indication (The LED lights on the drone will be flashing).
2. Once you are ready to attempt a 360ºroll, simply depress and let go of the "STUNT" button on the
top right hand side of your controller (see Remote Diagram D), you will hear a sound. This
means you are now in “STUNT MODE”
3. Now quickly move your right control stick in any of 4 directions; up, down, left or right and your
SPYDER X™ copter will instantly roll in the associated direction. (See diagram E).
