Charging Warnings WARNING: Failure to comply with the following warnings could result in product malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat, FIRE, and ultimately injury and property damage. • NEVER LEAVE CHARGING BATTERIES UNATTENDED. • NEVER CHARGE BATTERIES OVERNIGHT. • Never charge damaged batteries. If the battery begins to swell during charging or use, discontinue immediately. • Always use the included battery and charger. Disconnect the battery after charging.
The USB battery charger (EFLC1013) included with your aircraft has been designed to safely charge the 1S 3.7V 500mAh 25C Li-Po flight battery. NOTICE: Inspect the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. 1. Insert the charger into a USB port. The charger only uses power from the USB port. USB power supplies, such as those used to charge cellular phones, can also be used. 2.
Installing the Propellers 1. Refer to the illustration for the proper motor rotation and propeller location. CounterClockwise Clockwise 2. The propellers are press fit onto the motor shafts. Remove the propellers by pulling the center hub straight up away from the motor. 3. Install the propellers by pressing the center hub over the motor shaft, being careful not to press it too far down on the shaft. The propeller and motor should spin freely when installed correctly.
Installing the Transmitter Batteries (RTF) The LED indicator flashes and the transmitter beeps progressively faster as the battery voltage drops. Replace the transmitter batteries when the transmitter begins to beep.
Install the Flight Battery 1 Throttle down 2 Power ON 3 4 CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when the batteries are charged.
BNF Transmitter Setup If you are using a computer transmitter, set the model type to “Acro” or “Airplane” mode. In the channel input menu, set channel 6 (Aux1) to a momentary switch such as the bind button ( I ) and channel 5 (Gear) to a 3-position switch (switch B). In the Servo Setup menu, reverse channel 6 (Aux1). Bind the quadcopter to your transmitter following the Transmitter and Receiver Binding directions below. Transmitter and Receiver Binding General Binding Procedure (BNF®) 1.
Your RTF transmitter comes prebound to the quadcopter. If you need to re-bind, follow the directions below. MLP6DSM Binding Procedure (RTF) 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the quadcopter. 2. Center all trims on your transmitter. 3. Power off the transmitter and fully lower the throttle. 4. Connect the flight battery in the quadcopter. All of the LEDs on the aircraft will flash rapidly, indicating the aircraft has entered bind mode. 5.

Flight Mode Selection Cycle between the flight modes by changing the position of the flight mode switch as programmed in the binding section above. The active flight mode is indicated by the LED taillight on the quadcopter*. • A ltitude mode (green LED, switch position 0): maintains altitude. The bank angle is limited. When the sticks are released, the quadcopter will return to level flight. • S tability mode (blue LED, switch position 1): the bank angle is limited.
Fly the Quadcopter The LEDs indicate the front and back of the quadcopter. The white LEDs indicate the front. The red LEDs and tail light indicate the back. Takeoff Arm the motors by pressing the arming switch. Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and concentrate on balancing the throttle stick’s position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude.
• If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim in the opposite direction. • If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim in the opposite direction. Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little drifting and directional control input. If this is your first multicopter or helicopter, seek the help of an experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your first flight.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Once the battery reaches 3V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately once the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty. Repeatedly flying the aircraft until LVC activates will damage the flight battery.
Changing the Center LED Taillight Color To change the color of the center LED taillight: 1. Power on the transmitter. 2. Power on the quadcopter. DO NOT arm the motors. 3. Push both transmitter sticks fully forward and hold for 3 seconds. The taillight on the quadcopter will flash continuously. 4. Push the aileron stick right or left to choose the desired taillight color. 5. Pull both transmitter sticks fully back and hold for 1 second to save the desired color.
FPV Camera and Video Transmitter NOTICE: Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV (first person view) equipment. In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner. 1. Power on your radio transmitter, then power on the aircraft. 2. Power on the video receiver to make sure the channel is clear. 3.
Video Transmitter LED layout Bands (blue) Channel (red) LED windows If you experience static in the video feed, select a different channel. NOTICE: The 25mW micro video transmitter range on your quadcopter is less than your flight control transmitter range. Ensure you have adequate video camera range for filming. Tip: If you are flying with an FPV headset and are prone to motion sickness, sit in a chair. If you start to suffer from motion sickness while flying, lower your chin against your chest.
75% Accessing Band E If local laws allow their use, the following frequencies in Band E are available: Band E 5705 5685 5665 5665 5885 5905 5905 5905 To access Band E press and hold the camera button for at least 8 seconds. The blue band LED will glow solid. All 5 bands are now available. Scroll through the bands normally, as described in step 3 above. Video Monitor (RTF) 5.
