MODE 2 AND MODE 4: Explanation Once you’ve learned to fly Micro Drone or any kind of Helicopter on a certain transmitter Mode, the chances are that you’ll stick with that same mode throughout your flying days. Re-learning to fly on a different mode is essentially the same as starting from sctatch, so we’ve made it with the two most common flight controls and outlined how these work for Micro Drone. The transmitter modes for Micro Drone echo the ones for R/C Airplanes (in terms of turning).
FLIGHT OPERATIONS Direction Drone Mode 2 Mode 4 Notes Up For first flight power up to around 60% throttle then ease off to the hover position. Practice hovering at 1-2 metres Down Avoid landing on surfaces that are hard, dusty or wet. Do not land near people or objects that could collide or cause damage to the aircraft. Forward Push the navigation stick slowly to prevent the Drone from sudden movements.

MOTOR DIAGRAM Clockwise Arm A Front (black blades) Left Counterclockwise Arm C Counterclockwise Arm B Right Back (red blades) Clockwise Arm D Ensure the Correct Blade is fitted to correct Clockwise or Counterclockwise motor arm. INVERTED FLYING When fitting White and Grey Inverted blades: White A fits Arm A, White B fits Arm B, Grey B fits Arm C, Grey A fits Arm D. To activate inverted mode in the air, flick the top right corner switch.
SMART ORIENTATION This feature unlocks the orientation so that the navigation is not determined by the direction which the Drone is facing. In standard mode with Smart Orientation off, the drone has a front and a back, determined by the Black / Red blades or White / Blue LEDs, so when you navigate forwards, it moves in the direction that the front is facing (ie if the black blades are facing you, it moves towards you). This can be difficult to make out when the Drone is a long distance away.
RETURN HOME Users are advised to familiarise themselves with this feature before use. Unlike a GPS return home system, this uses a programmed method that memorises it’s start heading and is designed to help pilots return the Drone on a straight axis when you have lost control. For this to work correctly, when pairing the Drone, you must position the Drone on the ground such that its front points away from you on the line you wish it to return.
MID AIR FLIPS Micro Drone can perform mid-air flips with a specially designed, preprogramned algorithm. To activate this, it must be switched into Stunt Mode, slide to the right. WARNING: in Stunt Mode, moving the control sticks will perform aggressive maneuvers and could cause Micro Drone to crash if not controlled carefully. If doing for the first time, we suggest familiarising yourself with the controls before attempting this.
TROUBLESHOOTING / FAQ’s Inspect the Drone before every flight and replace any parts that are damaged. Change any blades that are bent, chipped or broken. See our troubleshooting page on www.microdrone.co.uk/faq GET INVOLVED Drone technology is developing at a rapid pace and we encourage you to get involved as we continue building Micro Drone and this exciting hobby.
