in the battery compartment.
4 ChargIng The QuadroCopTer
Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for around 15 to 30 minutes before
charging and after every flight. Otherwise they can be damaged. The
charging process must be constantly monitored. Always ensure that the
charging process takes place on a fireproof surface in a fire-resistant
environment.
• Unplug the quadrocopter from the battery and switch off the remote control (4A).
• Remove the battery from the battery compartment (do not hold by the cable!) (4B)
• Plug the charger into a mains socket and connect the battery to the charger (4C).
The LED on the charger lights up red.
• The charging process lasts approx. 60-70 minutes and must be continuously monitored.
As soon as the charging process is complete, the LED lights up green.
• Disconnect the battery from the charging unit and disconnect the charging unit from
the outlet after the charging is completed.
After a charge time of 60-70 minutes the quadrocopter can fly for approx.
10 minutes.
Warning notice: The LiPo battery can become warmer during charging. If it should
become hot and/or changes to the surface begin to appear, immediately discontinue
the charging process!

The thrust control (the left control on the remote control) must point down before
switching on (5A). Then set the control switch of the remote control to the "ON"
position; the Power LED (5B) lights up and the transmitter starts beeping after 8-10
seconds.
Connect the battery cable with the connecting cable (5C). The LED on the quadrocopter
now starts flashing red. Place the quadrocopter on the ground so that the tail points
toward you (5D). The quadrocopter needs around 5-10 seconds to initialise the gyro
and to establish the connection to the remote control. As soon as the LED on the
quadrocopter lights up red permanently, the connection to the transmitter has been
established. Attention! Always place your quadrocopter on an even horizontal surface
– the control electronics aligns its neutral position to the subsurface!

6 TrIM adJusTMenT oF The ConTrol
The correct trim is a basic requirement for fault-free flying behaviour of the quadrocopter.
The adjustment is easy, but requires some patience and feel. Please observe the follow-
ing instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the quadrocopter
approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.
6A If the quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right ...
press the roll trim gradually in the opposite direction until the trim indicator in the display
is in the centre (2Q).
6B If the quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ...
press the yaw trim in the opposite direction until the trim indicator in the display is in
the centre (2N).
6C If the quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ...
press the nick trim gradually downwards until the trim indicator in the display is in
the centre (2R). If the quadrocopter moves backwards, press the nick trim gradually
upwards until the trim indicator in the display is in the centre (2R).
7 FlIghT ConTrol
Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying
behaviour of the quadrocopter! The direction information applies if the quadrocopter is
viewed from behind. If the quadrocopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved
in the opposite direction.
Setting the control: The button 2B can be used to set the sensitivity of the control
in four stages (20%, 40%, 60% and 100%) (2B). When the remote control is switched
on, the sensitivity is reset to 20%. Only switch to a higher level when you have mastered
the previous one!
7A In order to start or gain altitude, carefully move the thrust / yaw control forward.
7B Move the thrust / yaw control back for landing or to fly lower.
7C To fly forward, carefully move the nick / roll control forward.
7D To fly backward, pull the nick / roll control back carefully.
7E To fly left, carefully move the nick / roll control to the left.
7F To fly right, carefully move the nick / roll control to the right.
7G To turn the quadrocopter around to the left, move the thrust / yaw control to the left.
7H To turn the quadrocopter around to the right, move the thrust / yaw control to
the right.
7I Looping and rolling – for experienced pilots only! Once you have mastered
your quadrocopter, you can try your hand at the stunt flying function. Set the sensitivity
of the control to 100% (2B/2O) and ensure that you have enough space in all
directions (at least 10 m). Also comply with the safety height – fly at a height of at
least 5 m, as your quadrocopter loses height when rolling over and has to be caught
and corrected afterwards.
Now rise to the safety height and press the nick/roll control powerfully in the desired
direction. The quadrocopter rolls in the relevant direction. Be ready to catch it, as the
altitude, direction and speed after the roll depend largely on the wind and previous
flight movements.
