Charging the Battery
Information & Procedure
The craft’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. Before charging, be sure
the craft and remote control are powered OFF to avoid risk of injury or damage. It is
recommended to remove the battery from the craft when charging. Charging time can take
up to 120 minutes. Charge fully before use for maximum performance and flight time.
Connect the USB charging cable (included) to the USB port of a powered ON computer or
USB power adapter (not included), then connect the charging plug to the battery plug.
While charging, the cable will display a red light.
When charging is complete, the light will turn OFF.
Be sure to correctly match the plug to the charging
port or damage may occur.
REMINDER: Do not charge overnight. Do not leave
unattended while charging.

Step 1
Power ON the craft and place it on a flat
surface. This is necessary for the craft’s
gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on
the craft will blink as it searches for a signal
from the remote.
Be sure the craft and yourself are facing
the same forward direction, this will help
with orientation while flying.
Step 2
Power ON the remote control to connect to the craft. A chime will sound and the lights on
the craft will turn solid when it has linked to the remote.
Gyroscope calibration is now complete and the craft is ready to fly.
Step 3
Pull both control sticks down and outwards until the
rotors start spinning. This starts the craft and the
Auto-Hover feature.
To take off, push up on the Left Control Stick. When
you release the throttle, the craft will hover in place.
To land, pull down on the Left Control Stick. The
craft will descend until it detects it has landed and
the rotors will stop.
If you are finished flying, pull both control sticks
down and outwards again. This stops the craft
and Auto-Hover. Power OFF the remote BEFORE
powering OFF the craft to ensure no signals are
accidentally sent by the remote.

Flying & Auto-Hover Mode
Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the gyroscopes on the
craft must be allowed to calibrate.
Begin with the battery installed, the battery compartment closed, and the craft and
remote powered OFF.

Craft spins left or right. Adjust Yaw Trim.
Craft drifts forward or backward. Adjust Pitch Trim.
Setting Trim & Countering Drift
Even after the craft is calibrated, it may show a tendency to drift while airborne. Adjusting
the trim 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 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.

14
Craft drifts left or right. Adjust Roll Trim.
Gyroscope Recalibration
If the craft is experiencing difficulty flying or is
behaving erratically, it’s gyroscopes may need
to be recalibrated. Do not attempt to do this
while flying, safely land the craft first and place
it on a flat surface. The craft and the remote
should already be linked together.
Pull down and to the right on both controls
sticks for 2-3 seconds. The remote will chime
once and the LEDs on the craft will blink
rapidly. When the LEDs have stopped blinking
the recalibration is complete and the craft is
ready to fly.
Remote Trim Reset
If you are still having difficulty flying, it may
help to reset the trim controls on the remote.
Do not attempt to do this while flying, safely
land the craft first.
Press the Reset button, the remote will chime
once to indicate that the trim has been reset
to default.

Tips for Safe Operation
• It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like
power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc.
• When flying indoors avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft will be drawn towards them
if closer than 2-3 feet.
• 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, hovering, and landing.
• If you get into trouble or if anything obstructs the rotors, cut power immediately and
safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.
Speed Setting
Press the Speed button on the remote to change the craft’s speed setting.
• Low: Provides smooth and predictable control of the craft. The remote will chime once
to indicate the low speed setting.
• Medium: The craft will move and respond faster to all control inputs. The remote will
chime twice to indicate the medium speed setting.
• High: Highest setting for maximum performance. The remote will chime three times to
indicate the high speed setting.
Headless Mode
While Headless Mode is active the craft will fly in whatever direction the Right Control
Stick is pushed, regardless of where the front of the craft is pointing. For example, if the
front of the craft was pointed straight ahead but is now pointed right 90°, when you push
forward on the stick the craft will fly forwards as if it was still pointed straight ahead. This
can be useful if you become disoriented while flying and cannot visually determine which
direction the craft is facing.
Before using Headless Mode be sure you and the craft are facing the same “forward”
direction, otherwise the craft will not fly correctly. Press the Headless button on the
remote control. The LED lights will slowly flash while Headless Mode is ON. Press the
button again to deactivate Headless Mode.

16
Flips
Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, ideally
5-10 ft. in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any
obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage.
Press the Flip button then move the Right Control Stick in any direction and the craft
will perform a flip in the same direction. Press the Flip button again to deactivate without
performing a flip.
