Trim Adjustment
Setting Pitch Trim & Countering Drift
Even after the craft is calibrated, it may show a tendency to drift while airborne. Adjusting
the Pitch will help counter this effect and allow for better control the craft.
• To avoid potential damage, adjust the trim while attempting a stable hover.
• Try to avoid making any exaggerated movements with the flight controls.
• Adjust one Pitch trim setting at a time to avoid confusion.
Adjusting the trim will help with drift but it will not entirely eliminate it. Turbulence and
other factors may still influence the craft’s flight characteristics.
Pitch trim controls nose
angle Up/Down.

Tips for Safe Operation
• It is recommended to only fly large, outdoor, open spaces that are free of obstacles like
power lines, trees, cars, etc.
• Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing the
same “forward” direction. This will help with orientation when the craft is airborne.
• Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately to get used to the
craft’s flying characteristics. Try using one control at a time.
• Practice basic flight operations like take off, and landing.
• If you crash, power down the engines IMMEDIATELY to reduce the chance of damage
or injury.
• If anything obstructs the propellers for any reason, throttle down IMMEDIATELY and
safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.
• This model is composed of many precision electrical components. It is critical to keep
the craft and equipment away from water and other contaminants. The introduction
or exposure to water or moisture in any form can cause the model to malfunction
resulting in a crash or . Do not operate or expose To rain or moisture.
