2.0 Remote Control
The included SwagDrone Remote Controller can be used to switch modes so that the drone
is easier to operate according to the user. Select the flight mode that corresponds to your
skill level.
For your first flight, start with the first mode listed below.
+Primary Flight: The flight control system uses automatic stabilization to achieve stability
without rolling over. This mode is suitable for beginners.
+Mid-level Flight: The flight control system uses a partial stabilization to achieve a relatively
flexible operation and allows rollover. This mode is for advanced users.
+High-Level Flight: The flight control system uses flexible stabilization for advanced operation
and rollover. This mode is for advanced users.
The images and examples below show MODE 2 (Left-hand throttle). The controller is
set to MODE 2 by default.

4.0 Pre-Flight Check
1. The SwagDrone 150-UP is recommended for pilots 14 and up who have piloted drones
before.
2. Only fly the SwagDrone 150-UP in dry weather with low wind conditions. Please do not
fly in rain, snow, or heavy fog.
3. Always choose large open fields for flying. Check local laws and ordinances for legal
flying areas.
4. To avoid injury from high-speed propellers, always keep a distance of 15 feet from the
drone when the motor is unlocked. Always lock the motor before handling the drone.
5. Do not fly close to high-voltage power lines, cell, or radio towers as these may disrupt
your control signal.
6. Always check local laws before flying. Never fly over crowds, near animals or children,
or within sports stadiums.
5.0 Battery Charging
STEP1. Insert the power adapter (100~240V 50/60Hz),
connect the output end to the GA005 balance
charger, the balance charger will show a solid red
LED light.
STEP2. Insert the balanced LiPO battery pin into GA005.
STEP3. During charging, Red LED will continually flash.
Once the battery has been fully charged, the Red
LED light will flash solid green.
• Refer to Section 11 for details for the GA005
Balance Charger.

• Install the propellers by hand and
tighten the motor with the
included wrench.
• You can also use the wrench to
help remove broken props in the
event of a crash.
7.0 Pre-Flight Setup
• Place the aircraft in a wide open
space with the rear facing you.
This position is known as "Tail In".
• Put the function switches to the 0 position and place the trims and dials to the middle
position. Move the throttle to the lowest position.
• Video receiving equipment is needed to display image and OSD information.
• The SwagDrone 150-UP uses a low voltage alarm beeper. The OSD provides a visual
reference for the remaining battery power.
• When the voltage reaches below 14 volts, the right LED will flash quickly and the beeper
alarm will sound. Land the drone as soon as possible if the alarm is heard or the OSD is
showing 14 volts.
• The 150-UP is designed for FPV racing, as there is no automatic landing mode.
7.1 Binding Your SwagDrone
• PROCEED WITH CAUTION. The drone will immediately receive power to all parts including
the propellers once the battery is connected. Do not allow loose clothing, hair, fingers or
any other part of your body to come in contact with or near the propellers during battery
installation.
STEP1. Turn the drone over. Pull the button down to unlock the cover and slide it open.
Check to make sure the 5.8G Transmitter Antenna is securely attached before
connecting the battery.
STEP2. Connect the battery to the drone using the
matching connectors. The drone will make
noise and the propellers may move slightly as
it receives power. Make sure the connectors
are fully joined.
For your safety, it is recommended to extend
both the Receiver Antennas before the next
step.
STEP3. Tuck the cords inside the compartment, fully
seat the battery inside the drone, and slide
the cover closed making sure it’s locked in
place. Turn the drone over, place it on a level
surface, and move at least 15 feet away for
safe clearance.

• When turning the drone over, make sure not to touch the metal parts of the 5.8G
Transmitter Antenna as these may be hot.
STEP4. Put the function switches to the 0 position
and place the trims and dials to the middle
positions. Doing this puts everything in
neutral. Use the image below to check that
everything is in the correct position. With
everything in the correct positions (neutral),
turn on the remote. The controller will
automatically start to bind to the drone
once it is on.
• Do not move the SwagDrone 150-UP during binding.
If the error reading THST K or any other combination appears on the remote’s
screen, at least one of the trims, dials, or sticks is not in the correct position. Turn
the controller off, check the above image, make any needed adjustments, and turn it
on again.
STEP5. Once the drone successfully binds to the
controller, the red LED will blink slowly and
the drone should stop making noise.
In the event that everything has been done
correctly but the drone keeps making noise,
please try binding it again. For any further
troubleshooting, contact customer service.
