Nod Function
The nod function allows you to move your quadrocopter forward and backward (see figure 11). This is also controlled
with the right control stick (also see figure 1, item 5).
If the stick is slightly pushed to the front, the electronics in the quadrocopter change the propeller speeds so that the
model will turn to the front slightly and thus also fly forward.
If you move the transmitter to the rear, the speed changes of the propellers are precisely inverted and the model will
fly to the rear.
f) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start
• Even though the model can fly in the narrowest of spaces, for the first test flights we recommend using a free space
of about 3 x 3 m.
• The support should be flat (tiles, parquet flooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the
model tends to drift off in a particular direction.
• If you perform the first flight outdoors, you should do so on a perfectly wind-still day.
• Place yourself exactly behind your quadrocopter. As long as the two booms with the red propellers point towards
you and you thus see your model from behind, it will react to the control commands: right, left, forward, backward
exactly as you see it. Whereas, if the red propellers of the model point away from you, it reacts exactly the opposite
way from your steering commands at the transmitter from your view.
Important!
If the propellers hit any objects and are blocked, slide the pitch lever into the bottom-most position at once
so that the affected drive motors are no longer supplied with power.
Attention, important!
Never try grabbing the flying quadrocopter with your hand. There is an increased danger of injury!
When the red and blue LEDs pointing down start to flash, the flight battery has reached its lower voltage limit. In this
case, end your flight without delay and charge the flight battery again to avoid harmful deep discharge of the flight
battery.
If you are using the quadrocopter outdoors, observe the flight distance. The farther the quadrocopter moves away
from you, the more difficult it is to recognise the flight position.
