PROPELLER INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT Your X-wing’s propeller system is a precision instrument that may need repair or replacement from time to time for optimal flight function. Crash landing from high-speed aerial flights may cause damage to your propellers. A B B A 1. The ship has four propellers, two “A” Propellers, and two “B” Propellers. 2. When replacing the propeller blades, make sure to put A propellers on A Motors, and B Propellers on B motors, as per the diagram at the right. 3.

Do not fly your ship in foul weather! 2 second push on/off at this point you may choose to listen to the opening soundtrac k that plays when you pow er on your controller, whi lst you continue reading this handbook. ALL LIGHTS hing red flas Important! When syncing your ship with the controller, always check that the ship is on a flat level surface. This ensures that the 6-axis gyro is properly calibrated. Your ship utilizes an automatic 2.
Music mode Music mode lets you adjust the volume on your speaker or headphones or choose a background track. To enter music mode, hold down button 2 and button 4 for two seconds. The Life LEDs will glow blue (or red in simulation mode). Push both buttons again for two seconds to exit music mode. If no buttons are pushed for five seconds while in music mode, the controller will automatically exit the mode.
screwdriver This handy screwrdiver attaches to your controller and can be used to remove screws from the battery cover or to tighten the screw on the phone holder. It can also be used to remove parts on your ship if repairs are needed. Speaker The controller’s speaker will play every sound, including music, explosions, and more. headphone Jack The controller’s headphone jack functions in the same way as the speaker, but will only work when the headphones are plugged in.
Barometric Pressure sensor on/off (repulsorlift on/off) The barometric pressure sensor maintains the altitude of your ship above the ground, simulating the anti-gravity effect of a repulsorlift engine. This also lets you adjust your altitude incrementally during flight. Push the gimbal up or down and then release it, and your ship will hover at the new altitude.
Learning how to fly (T-mode) If this is your first time flying please read the following instructions. If you are an experienced pilot feel free to skip ahead to the next section. T-mode is a special flying mode intended to help ease new pilots into learning basic flight controls in a safe environment. To operate in T-mode you must first activate the repulsorlifts on the controller (see repulsorlifts on page 14).
protective cage For beginner pilots we strongly suggest using the protective cage. Make sure you install your protective cage before flight. This cage protects the propeller blades and the outside of the ship from taking damage when crashing into walls and other objects.
For Multi-Person Play Before beginning, ensure that all ships and controllers are powered off. Make sure that no other 2.4 GHz devices are in the area. Each person must sync their ship individually, one at a time, in order to avoid interference. Follow steps on page 11 (“SYNC TO SHIP: FOR SINGLE-PERSON PLAY”), making sure to keep away from others while ensuring that no one else is syncing at the same time.
FLIGHT CONTROL These are the basic flight functions for your ship. While learning to fly it is best to begin with a large space, at least until you get used to the basics. Once you master your ship you can tackle more advanced maneuvers. Practice makes perfect! Once you have these steps mastered, move to the next level. 18 Move the Throttle up to increase the speed of the motors and the X-wing will rise up. Move the Throttle down to decrease the speed of the motors and the X-wing will descend.
FLYING TIPS • Operate your ship in a wide space. Ideally, the space will have at least a 100-foot radius. • If you are flying your ship with others, make sure spectators are located behind you. • For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the ship during zero wind conditions, as wind can greatly affect flight performance.
Speed change When the controller is powered on, it will always start on Speed Mode 1. If the controller was in Speed Mode 3 before turning it off, it will return to Speed Mode 1 when it is turned back on. Speed 1 Speed 2 Push the button to change speeds between Modes 1-3. If you are in Speed Mode 3 and press the button, you will cycle over to Speed Mode 1. Flying speed is indicated by the LEDs surrounding the controller’s power button.
Auto-start/Auto-land When repulsorlifts are activated, push button once when on the ground to autostart. Push button for 2 seconds when in the air to auto-land. Auto-start Auto-start only works when the barometric pressure sensor is activated. If barometric pressure sensor is activated, auto-start will work only if the left stick (gimbal) is in the center position. The right control stick will function normally during the auto-start sequence, allowing you to control the direction of your take-off.
Clockwise roll (A) Push the right trigger button while flying and your ship will perform a 360-degree roll in a clockwise motion while continuing its current movement. If the ship is flying forward it will continue to move forward as it performs the roll, and will perform similarly with any directional movement.
battling When battling with your vehicle it is best to fly outside in a wide open space of about 200-300 feet, in an open field with no obstruction such as trees, houses, open water, or power lines. When battling indoors it is recommended to do so in a very large open area such as a gymnasium or sports center with high ceilings and no obstructions.
Life LED’s When the controller’s power is turned on, all 3 life LEDs will flash. Once synced, all 3 life LEDs will glow red. Reactions to being hit: When the ship is hit by an opponent, it will react and alter its flight. Full life 1st hit 2nd hit 3rd hit No additional hits can be inflicted on the ship during this time. FIRST HIT: The ship will continue on its current trajectory, but will rock back and forth two times left to right in a fluid motion.
THIRD HIT AUTO-LANDING This is the final hit in battle. When you have been hit a 3rd time your ship will enter into auto-land mode and descend in a downward spiral. TAKING OVER LANDING SEQUENCE Pulling your left throttle stick all the way down during auto-landing sequence will activate user-controlled landing mode. This feature allows you to take control of your direction while you fall. This may be used to avoid hitting an obstacle.

If the pilot levels out and pulls up while rolling away from the direction of the turn, they can slip back in behind the enemy with no loss of distance or speed.
X-Wing WARNING Your X-wing is designed for INDOOR or OUTDOOR use. The X-wing blades revolve at high speeds and can cause harm to the user, spectators, and animals. Stand clear of the ship to reduce the risk of getting into its flight path. Warn spectators that you will be flying your ship so that they can remain aware of its position. Before flying, inspect the ship’s rotor blades to ensure they are securely fastened. WARNING! Choking/Cutting Hazard: Small parts/sharp rotor blades.
BATTERY WARNINGS This ship uses a Li-poly rechargeable battery. If the battery no longer stays charged, dispose of it properly according to local disposal requirements.
