THROTTLE CONTROL PRACTICE
AILERON AND ELEVATOR
CONTROL PRACTICE
RUDDER CONTROL
PRACTICE PRACTICE
• Be sure that no people or obstructions are nearby as you practice.
• You must first practice hovering. (This is a basic flight action.)
“Hovering” means keeping the drone in mid-air in a fixed position.
• Please stand approximately 12 feet behind the drone while it is flying.
• When the vehicle begins to lift
off the ground, slowly reduce
the throttle to bring the flight
vehicle back down. Keep
practicing this skill until
you can control the throttle
smoothly.
• Raise the throttle stick slowly.
• Move the drone in any
direction: forward, back, left
and right. Slowly move the
Aileron and Elevator Sticks
in the opposite direction to fly
back to its original position.
• Slowly raise the throttle stick.
• Use the rudder stick to move the
nose of the drone to the right
or the left. Then, slowly move
the rudder stick in the opposite
direction to fly back to its original
position.
NOTE: After you are familiar with
the above actions, draw a circle on
the ground and practice within the
circle to increase your accuracy.
Reduce the size of the circle as you
become more advanced.

PAIRING THE DRONE WITH THE TRANSMITTER
POWERING DOWN THE DRONE
Step 1: Place the drone on a flat
surface, with the tail end pointed
at you. Connect the drone battery
to the drone power wire. The LED
on the drone will start flashing.
(Be sure not to move the drone,
as the built-in gyroscope needs a
neutral starting point.)
Step 2. Turn on the Transmitter.
Step 3. Bring the throttle (the left
stick) all the way to the lowest
position and release. The drone
is now paired and ready to fly.
(Repeat these steps every time
you turn the drone on.)
Step 1: After the flight, disconnect
the drone battery from the drone
power wire.
WARNING: If the battery is not
disconnected after use, it could cause
the battery to discharge excessively,
and possibly cause a fire.
Step 2: Turn off the Transmitter.
If the transmitter is not going to
be used for an extended period of
time, please remove the batteries to
prevent possible leakage.
