Preparing for Flight
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of
the controller using a screwdriver.
2. Insert 4 new “AA” alkaline batteries by
matching the polarity (+ and -) markings
shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
1. Plug the battery connector into the Power port on the underside of
the Mini Stealth Drone and then place Mini Stealth Drone on a stable
surface (i.e., flat ground). If it’s placed at an angle, this can disrupt
the function of the auto-stabilization system.
2. Press the ON/OFF Button on the controller to turn it on. The controller beeps twice and
the Power indicator lights up.
3. To link up the controller and the Mini Stealth Drone with each other, move the
controller’s left stick up to the highest position. You will hear a beep once. Then move
Installing Batteries in the Controller
Charging the Mini Stealth Drone
Powering the Mini Stealth Drone
The Mini Stealth Drone is equipped with a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery. The battery is not
fully charged at shipment. For best performance, fully charge the battery before the first
use. Follow the instructions below to charge the Mini
Stealth Drone.
1. Plug the battery connector on the underside of
the drone into the output of the USB charging
cable. The battery connector only fits in one way.
Do not force the connectors together.
2. Connect the USB plug on the USB charging cable
to one of the following:
• a USB 2.0 (or later) port on your computer while
the computer is on
• a stand-alone USB charger such as those used
for cell phones or tablets
. A steady red light will glow on the USB charging cable
letting you know that the battery is charging. Under
normal operating conditions, it may take up to 50
minutes to recharge the battery.
3. When the charger light goes out, the battery is fully
charged and the drone is ready to be flown. Remove the
battery connector from the USB charger.
Note: Always allow the battery to cool before using and recharging to prolong battery
life. Don’t use USB hubs, USB 1.0 or USB 1.1 ports: these may not have enough current to
properly charge the Mini Stealth Drone.

Preparing for Flight
Basic Maneuvers
the left stick down to the lowest position. You will hear another beep. The throttle is
now enabled. Now move the left stick slowly upwards to increase the throttle and
watch the Mini Stealth Drone take off.
You can find more information on flying the Mini Stealth Drone using the controller in
the next section “Basic Maneuvers”.
The Mini Stealth Drone moves up and down
by varying the speed of its propellers. You can
control how fast these spin by using the left
stick on the controller. Pushing the stick up
will increase the throttle. Small adjustments
made slowly and carefully are the best way to
get the Mini Stealth Drone to fly well. Be careful
when easing off the throttle – if the Mini Stealth
Drone stalls, it will fall to the ground and even
if you jam the throttle back on, it might not be
able to recover in time.
By moving the right stick horizontally, you can
strafe or ‘slide’ left and right without rotating
the Mini Stealth Drone.
By using the left and right sticks at different
angles and positions, you can design and
execute some graceful, arcing turns. On
the other hand, quick thrusts of the stick in
different directions can create some unique
tricks or stunts. Practice makes perfect!
The right stick on the controller affects the Mini
Stealth Drone’s direction of travel.
Pushing the right stick up will move the Mini
Stealth Drone forwards. The opposite is also
true – moving the right stick down will move
the Mini Stealth Drone in reverse.
Once the Mini Stealth Drone is in the air,
practise keeping it in one spot by playing
around with the throttle levels. Because
it’s a mini, even the lightest of breeze can
effect on the stability of the drone.
While positioning the Mini Stealth Drone
into a steady hover, slowly decrease
the throttle until it lands. Try practising
landings on the bonus landing pad game
and have some fun with your friends!
While moving forward, move the left stick to
the left or right to turn the Mini Stealth Drone in
the direction that you want to fly to.

Correcting Drifts
Flying Faster
It is normal for the Mini Stealth Drone to drift slightly. If you find the Mini Stealth Drone
consistently drifting in any direction during flight, you may need to adjust the trim settings.
Basically, the trim ‘fine-tunes’ the speed of the propellers. Simply press (and hold) the
appropriate trim button opposite to the movement until the Mini Stealth Drone is flying
straight.
Want to perform stunts in high speed? Simply press
the Speed Button to switch to Boost mode and fly
the Mini Stealth Drone even faster than ever before!
You will hear two (2) beeps indicating the drone is in
Boost mode. Press the Speed Button again to return
to Normal speed. You will hear a single beep.
If you find that the Mini Stealth Drone is
turning slowly left or right when you’re
not using the left stick on the controller,
then you’ll need to adjust the trim using
the Rotation Trim Buttons located
beneath the left stick.
If the Mini Stealth Drone is moving
either left or right without pivoting, use
the Sideways Trim Buttons located
beneath the right stick.
Press and hold the Trim Reset Button beneath
the left stick while you press the ON/OFF
Button to turn on the controller. (Make sure the
controller is turned off first).
If the Mini Stealth Drone is drifting
forwards or backwards, use the
Movement Trim Buttons to compensate.
It’s located beneath the right stick.
If the Mini Stealth Drone is moving
forwards, compensate by moving the trim
backwards (i.e., down) and vice-versa.

Adjusting the Trim
Wind: Basically, the Mini Stealth Drone is a replica of a full-sized quadcopter. A full-sized
quadcopter wouldn’t be able to fly in high winds – and neither can the Mini Stealth Drone. If a
full-sized quadcopter would have difficulty overcoming 50mph winds, then the Mini Stealth
Drone will have the same difficulty with 0.625mph winds (i.e. 1/80th as much).
The Ground Effect: When the Mini Stealth Drone is near the ground, the air it pushes down
with its rotor has nowhere to go – the ground is in the way. Some of this air bounces back;
this pushes the Mini Stealth Drone up. When the Mini Stealth Drone is near the ground, it will
get slightly more lift than it normally would. This is something to keep in mind when landing.
The Ceiling Effect: Conversely to the ground effect, when you fly too close to a ceiling, a
small pocket of low pressure is created above the Mini Stealth Drone, and it will be sucked
upwards. This could be bad – if you hit the ceiling, the Mini Stealth Drone will stall, fall and
possibly be damaged.
Places to Fly: Because high winds can be a problem, we recommend flying indoors. However,
you really do need a bit of space to get the most out of the Mini Stealth Drone. Some places
which are good for flight include large garages (whilst the car’s not parked there), indoor
sports areas or a reasonably sized lounge room.
Low Battery: To get the longest possible life from the LiPo battery, never completely
discharge it. As soon as the Mini Stealth Drone shows any sign of running low on power (such
as responding slowly or being unable to maintain altitude easily) turn it off and charge it as
soon as practicable. For more information about battery care, see page 2.
Performing Flips
Flying Guide
Care and Maintenance
Comfortable with the basic maneuvers? It’s time to progress
to some of the more advanced flying maneuvers like flips and
rolls.
To perform a thrilling flip, simply press the Flip Button and
move the right stick in any direction. Allow enough space in
your surroundings when doing this so that the Mini Stealth
Drone can properly recover afterward. Also, immediately
after performing a flip, remember to quickly apply the
appropriate throttle level (left stick) to avoid losing control
and crashing the Mini Stealth Drone. Not so easy? That’s why
it’s a good idea to master the basic maneuvers first before
doing the flip!
• Always remove the batteries from the
controller when not being used for
extended durations.
• To clean, wipe gently with a damp cloth.
Avoid use of solvents, as these can
damage the plastic components.
• Do not submerge in water. This will
damage the electronic components.
• Keep the Mini Stealth Drone and
controller away from heat sources.
