GENERAL FLYING TIPS:
• Always place the quadrocopter on a level
surface. An inclined surface can, under
certain circumstances, have a negative
impact on the starting behaviour of the
quadrocopter.
• Always move the controls slowly and with
a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
quadrocopter and do not look at the
remote control!
• Move the thrust control down again some-
what as soon as the quadrocopter lifts off
from the ground. To maintain the flying
altitude, adapt the setting of the thrust
control.
• If the quadrocopter lowers, move the
thrust control slightly upward again.
• If the quadrocopter climbs, move the
thrust control down slightly.
THE SUITABLE FLYING ENVIRONMENT:
The location in which the quadrocopter is flown should fulfil the following criteria:
• It should be an indoor location with still air.
Insofar as possible, there should be no air condition systems, heaters, etc.,
which could cause airflow.
• The room should be at least 10 metres long, six metres wide and three metres high.
For stunt flying, we recommend flying outdoors or in a large hall with
at least 10 m in each direction.
• There should be no disruptive objects in the room (fans, lamps, etc.).
• When starting, make absolutely sure that all persons and animals - including the pilot
- are at least 1-2 metres away from the aircraft before the flight begins.
ATTENTION!
Liability insurance has been mandatory since 2005 for flying model aircraft and
helicopters outdoors. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your new
and earlier models are included in the insurance coverage. Request confirmation in
writing and keep it in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial membership
free of charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.

• In order to fly along a curve, it often
suffices to tap the directional control
very slightly in the respective direction.
On initial flight attempts, there is a
general tendency toward excessive
movements of the quadrocopter
controls. Always move the controls
slowly and carefully. Never move them
fast or jerk them.
• Beginners should only attempt to
master the thrust control after the trim
adjustment. The quadrocopter does not
necessarily have to fly straight at the
beginning - initially, it is more important
to maintain a constant height of
approximately one metre above the
ground by repeatedly tapping the thrust
control. Only then should the pilot
practice steering the quadrocopter left
and right.

8 ChangIng The propellers
If the rotor blades of the quadrocopter are damaged and you must replace them, proceed as
follows:
8A Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the propellers. The quadrocopter
has 4 different propellers, which differ in colour and markings on the bottom:
• Front right: Red, marking A
• Front left: Red, marking B
8B The propellers are secured to their shafts with a screw. Unscrew this screw and you
can then remove the propeller.
8C Position the new propeller on the shaft (note the marking and colour!) and screw
the fixing screw carefully into the propeller again. Ensure that the screw reaches into
the hole in the shaft.
8D Replacing the arms
If an arm on the quadrocopter breaks and has to be replaced, proceed as follows.
Warning! there are two different arms, which can be told apart by the colours of the
cables on the motors: Red-blue is for front right and rear right, black-white is for front
left and rear left.

Problem: The propellers do not move.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The battery is too weak or depleted.
Remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Charge the battery.
Problem: The quadrocopter stops and descends during flight for no apparent
reason.
Cause: • The battery is too weak.
Remedy: • Charge the battery.
Problem: The quadrocopter cannot be controlled with the remote control.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The batteries were not inserted correctly.
• The batteries do not have enough power.
• Check the indicator at the top right of the display.
Remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Check whether the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Insert new batteries
Problem: The quadrocopter only turns on its vertical axis or rolls over when
started
Cause: Incorrect arrangement of the propellers or arms
Remedy: Install the propellers and arms as outlined in the manual
