Baery Safety Precauons
Important Note: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) baeries are more volale than the alkaline, NiCad and NiMH baeries
used in other RC applicaons. All instrucons and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent possible personal
injury or damage to property, including by re. By handling, charging, or using the included LiPo baery you assume
all potenal risks. If you do not agree with these condions, please return your complete product in new, unused
condion to the place of purchase immediately.
Important - Please read the following safety instrucons and warnings before handling, charging, or using the
included baery.
• You must charge you LiPo baery in a safe area away from any ammable materials.
• Never charge the LiPo baery unaended at any me. When charging the baery you should always remain in
constant observaon of the baery to monitor the process and react immediately to potenal problems you
observe.
• Aer discharging the baery during operaon you must allow it to cool to ambient room temperature before
aempng to recharge. Also, it is NOT recommended that you completely discharge the baery before charging.
It is safe to charge parally discharged baeries when using an appropriate LiPo charger.
• For charging the baery you must use only the included charger. Failure to do so may result in a re causing
property damage and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCad or NiMh charger to charge your new LiPo baery.
• If, at any me during the charge or discharge process, the baery begins to “balloon” or swell, disconnue
charging or discharging immediately! Quickly and safely disconnect the baery before placing it in a safe, open
area away from ammable materials for observaon for at least 15 minutes. Connuing to charge or discharge a
baery that has started to “balloon” or swell can result in a re. Important note: A baery that has “ballooned”
or swollen even a small amount must be removed from service immediately and completely.
• Never discharge a LiPo baery below 3V per cell.
• Always disconnect a baery from the ESC when the product is not in use.
• Avoid connually operang the baery to LVC (Low Voltage Cuto) as this could result in damage to the baery.
• Store the baery parally charged (approximately 50% charged or 3.85V per cell) at room temperature
(approximately 68ºto 77º Fahrenheit) in a dry area for best results.
• When transporng or temporarily storing the baery, the temperature range should be between 40º and 100ºF.
Do not store the baery inside a hot car or in direct sunlight or the baery could be damaged or even catch re.
• LiPo cells should not be discharged below 3.0V each. In the case of this 1-cell, 3.7V baery you should not allow
the voltage to fall below 3.0V during operaon.
• Do not over-discharge the LiPo baery, doing so could result in reduced power, lower run mes or complete
failure of the baery.
NOTE: Your aircra features a “so” LVC (Low Voltage Cuto) that smoothly reduces power (regardless of your
throle posion) to let you know the baery is near the minimum voltage to avoid damage to your baery.

Charging the Flight Baery
Connect the USB charging adapter to a USB port on
your computer or a USB power adapter. The red LED will
illuminate.

supplied screwdriver. Press down on the arrow and slide
the baery cover toward the boom of the transmier
to remove.

Landing Gear Installaon
Install the main landing gear by aligning the pegs on the
gear with the holes in the boom of the drone. The gear
will angle out away from the drone when installed. The
front and rear landing gear are dierent and will only t
the proper holes in the boom of the drone.
Blade Guard Installaon

guards with the holes in the motor pods. Press the guards
completely down so they are resng on the pods. Failure
to do so may cause interference with the blades.
Camera Installaon
Use the supplied screwdriver to aach the camera mount
to the baery door.
The camera is then slid into posion in the slots on the
mount. Guide the camera control wire between the
camera and mount as shown to prevent tangling or
damage should your model land in tall grass.

Baery Installaon
Connect the leads from the baery and the drone. Fit
the leads and connectors into the drone, then slide the
baery into posion.
Fit the baery cover tabs into the slots near the center of
the body. You will need to start at an angle and twist the
cover slightly to snap the tabs into place.
Close the baery cover by sliding it into posion.
Flight Preparaon
Rest the drone on the landing gear on a level surface.
Switch the power buon on the boom of the drone to
the ON posion. The LED lights on the drone will ash
rapidly.
Next, turn on the transmier. The LED lights on the drone
will ash slowly once the transmier and drone connect
to each other.
Arming for Flight
Once the drone and transmier connect you can then
arm the drone for ight. Move the le sck (throle) up
slowly unl the drone beeps. Move the sck down unl
the drone beeps again. Your drone is now ready for ight.

Once the drone has been armed, the LED lights will glow
solid indicang it is ready for takeo.
Auto Take-O and Auto Landing
Press the trim lever next to the throle sck up. The
drone will then rise to a height of roughly 3 feet (1 meter)
to begin its ight.
Pressing the trim lever next to the throle sck down will
enter landing mode. The power will quickly decrease and
stop the motors once the drone has landed safely.

Flight Controls
The following illustrates the ight controls and responses
for your drone:
Vercal - Up and Down

Le and Right
Rates
Your drone has three ight modes available. These are:
Low Rate (30%): Slower response for the beginning pilot.
Mid Rate (60%): Quicker response for the
intermediate pilot.
High Rate (100%): Extreme ight response for the
advanced pilot.
Push the buon on the top le of the transmier unl it
clicks and beeps to cycle through the ight modes. One
beep indicates Low Rate, two beeps indicates Mid Rate
and three beeps indicates High Rate.
The transmier will inialize to 50% (between Low and
Mid rates) when switched on. We recommend starng
with this rate, or switching to the Low Rate, unl you get
acquainted with your drone.

Orientaon Modes
Your drone has two orientaon modes:
Standard Mode: The drone will always associate the front

normal pilong. The lights will glow steadily in this mode
during ight.
Heading Lock Mode: The path of the drone will always
follow the transmier inputs (the front of the model
as the edge facing away from the pilot). This feature
can be helpful for beginning pilots when you have lost
orientaon of the drone. Pressing this buon and using
the instrucon for a control (pulling down on the right
control sck) on page 5 of the manual will bring the
drone back towards the pilot. The lights will ash in this
mode during ight.
Push the upper buon to toggle between the standard
and heading lock modes.
Auto Reverse
Pressing the middle feature buon will make the aircra
y back in the direcon that is opposite from where it
was facing when the ight was started. This funcon can
be helpful when the aircra is geng out of visibility
to pull it back to the vicinity of the pilot. It can also be
used to pull the aircra back if you are ying towards an
obstacle.
LED Lighng
You can turn the lighng on or o using the lighng
buon on the transmier. Press the buon to toggle the
lights on or o.
3D Flip Mode
Pressing the upper right buon on the transmier will
enter the 3D ip mode. A series of beeps will indicate the
mode is acve.
Move the right sck in the direcon you wish your drone
to ip. Make sure to hover at least 3 feet above the
ground and allow for a minimum of 3 feet above your
drone before iniang the ip.
