User manual

To operate the FlyTech Dragonfly:
1. Turn the controller on by pressing the power switch. The LED indicator will blink.
2. Extend the antenna on the controller.
3. Turn the FlyTech Dragonfly on by setting the switch on the dragonfly to ON.
NOTE: If the controller is off when you turn on the dragonfly, the dragonfly’s eyes
will blink.
4. On the controller, push the left stick upwards
to increase speed of the wing-flapping. The
left stick (throttle) controls how high and fast
your FlyTech Dragonfly will fly.
NOTE: Push the left stick once first to arm the
dragonfly and again to start the wings flapping.
5. Launch FlyTech Dragonfly
from your hand with a
gentle horizontal motion.
The dragonfly will flutter
away from you.
NOTE: Do not throw the
dragonfly when launching.
6. On the controller, push the right stick (directional) to the left to turn left, or push
the stick to the right to turn right.
Use smaller movements on
the controller to make the
dragonfly turn more gradually.
To make the dragonfly turn
more quickly, push the stick
further in the desired direction.
Trimming
Use the trim dial to adjust the straight line flight of the dragonfly. If the dragonfly
naturally steers to the right, slowly turn the trim dial in a clockwise direction to
adjust the steer.
If the dragonfly steers to the left, slowly turn the trim dial in a counter-clockwise
direction. Avoid using the right (directional) stick while adjusting the trim as
your trim settings might be inaccurate.
You can also use the trim dial to make the dragonfly fly in constant circles. Turn
the trim dial clockwise to fly the dragonfly in a counter-clockwise circle; turn the
trim dial counter-clockwise to fly the dragonfly in a clockwise circle.
NOTE: Adjusting the trim can make the dragonfly’s tail rotor spin even when not
flying.
Tips and tricks
• When launching the dragonfly, hold it level
by the middle of the body and gently push it
forward as you would with a paper airplane,
while holding the left stick (throttle control)
at about half-power. If it starts to fly upwards,
release some of the power so that it stays level.
• Avoid making turns while the nose is pointed
upwards, or the dragonfly will dive-bomb.
• The tail ribbon is ideal as a training aid,
especially when in small spaces, and helps
restrict flying speed.
• When flying the dragonfly outdoors, take
note that the calmest times of the day are
usually at dawn and at dusk. If it is a bit
windy outdoors, avoid flying the dragonfly at
wind speeds higher than 4 mph (1.75 km/h).
• With more practice and expertise, it will
also be possible to make the dragonfly take
off into the air from the ground. Place the
dragonfly on a smooth and flat surface that
is long enough to allow it room to take off
(for example, a hallway).

Tip: Attaching the tail ribbon to FlyTech
Dragonfly’s tail allows for greater
maneuverability and slower flight speed.
This is beneficial in smaller flying spaces.
