The First Take-Off
The operation and handling of remote controlled flight models must be learned! If you have never steered such a model, start
especially carefully and get used to the reactions of the model to the remote control commands first. Do be patient! Use the
information from chapter 11 as reference.
Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment depends completely on your
responsible use of the model.
• Switch off the remote control transmitter by pushing the on/off button. The transmitter confirms this with a double sound.
• Put the throttle lever all the way back (engines out).
• Resets the trims at the transmitter to „0". For this, push the two associated trim buttons for yaw, pitch and roll (also see figure 4, items 4,
6 and 7) in sequence until neutralisation of the trimming is confirmed with a double sound signal.
• Then connect the flight battery. For this, push the battery plug into the socket of the „Mini-Copter MC 120" in the correct polarity (also see
figure 6, item 3; observe plug contours). The LED in the model starts flashing green after a short period at a correct reception signal
(starter mode).
• Place the flight battery into the intended holder of the „Mini-Copter MC 120" and secure it with hook-and-loop tape (also see figure 6, items
2 and 4).
• Push the setting bottom of the flight mode (figure 6, item 1) to select the desired mode.
LED flashes green = beginner's mode (basic configuration after each battery change)
LED flashes orange = sports mode
LED flashes red = expert mode
• Place the model on a level surface as smooth as possible (e.g. stone floor). A carpet is less suitable because the landing legs may bet
caught in the carpet easily.
• Start the engines by carefully pushing the throttle lever forwards. Ideally, now slowly increase the speed of the rotors (the throttle) of the
„Mini-Copter MC 120" until you can see a slight increase of altitude. Test the roll and pitch directions just before the „Mini-Copter MC 120"
starts to hover to ensure that the transmitter is correctly set.
Generally avoid any fast and big controlling motions. Also watch closely to see whether and in which direction the „Mini-Copter MC 120"
moves. By using trimming on the remote control, you can prevent undesired movements.
Important! Never take off with a badly trimmed flight device.
