REMOTE BATTERY INSTALLATION Remove battery cover from controller. Insert 4 x ‘AA’ batteries according to indicated polarities. Replace and screw back in battery cover. 1. Install batteries carefully. 2. Do not mix old and new batteries. 3. Do not mix different types of batteries.
CHARGING THE DRONE BATTERY 1. Remove the battery from the drone. 2. Connect the USB charging cable to the battery. 3. Plug the charger into a USB port. The USB light will turn on while charging and will turn off once fully charged. 4. Plug the battery back into the drone. Charging time: 70 minutes --- Flying time: approximately 5 minutes * Low Battery Signal: The lights on the drone will begin to flash in flight to indicate low battery. DO NOT CHARGE OVERNIGHT OR BEYOND THE CHARGING TIME STATED.
START-UP PROCEDURE Before flying, the drone and transmitter must be turned on in sequence and synchronized. 1. Plug the battery into the drone and place it on an even surface. The blue lights on the drone are at the front and the red are at the back. 2. Turn on the remote control. 3. Both indicators on the drone and the remote will flash while they are syncing. 4. Push the throttle up and then down to sync. You will hear two beeps and the lights will go steady to indicate the drone has synced. 5.
OPERATION: FLYING THE DRONE TAKE–OFF: 1. Press the take off button. The remote will beep and the drone will hover a few feet off the ground. Then gently advance the throttle to a desired height and release. The drone will hover at that height.* OR 2. From Idle mode, gently advance the throttle up to a desired height and release. The drone will hover at that height.* LANDING: 1. Press the landing button to lower the drone to the ground. OR 2. Push down on the throttle until the drone is on the ground.
OPERATION: FLYING THE DRONE FIRST TIME FLYERS!!! TAKE YOUR TIME! GO SLOW! Practice hovering until you are comfortable with flight before attempting any other maneuvers. Make small movements letting the stick return to the center. If you start to lose control, don’t panic. Just press land. LEFT ROTATION RIGHT ROTATION Pull the throttle left or right, the drone turns to the left or right. BACKWARD FORWARD Push the direction lever up or down, the drone flies forward or backward.
TIPS ON 360° FLIPS Once you have become skilled with the basics of drone flight, you can try some advanced maneuvers. At a height of at least 10 feet, press and hold the 360° Flip button and move the direction lever in any desired direction to execute the flip. 360° Flip LEFT 360° FLIP Push the direction stick to the left and the drone will perform a 360° flip in that direction. RIGHT 360° FLIP Push the direction stick to the right and the drone will perform a 360° flip in that direction.
TIPS ON 360° FLIPS FORWARD 360° FLIP Push the direction stick forward and the drone will perform a 360° flip in that direction. BACKWARD 360° FLIP Push the direction stick backward and the drone will perform a 360° flip in that direction.
SPEED MODES The Slipstream Wifi features two speed modes. Choose the speed based on flight experience and level of comfort. At high speed the drone will pitch more than at low speed. Slipstream Wifi is quite fast at its high speed and requires more piloting skills to fly competently. For safety take time to develop advanced skills by practicing at low speed first. The drone is preset to low speed. Press the Speed button to change the speed mode.
TRIM ADJUSTMENT Move direction stick in desired direction. Push in and hold. LEFT MOVEMENT RIGHT MOVEMENT SIDEWAYS TRIM When the drone drifts to the left or right side unintentionally, you can correct it by pushing in the throttle and moving the direction stick in the opposite direction until it evens out. Push in and hold. Move direction stick in desired direction.
TROUBLESHOOTING RE-CALIBRATING THE ALTITUDE SENSOR If the drone crashes and after re-starting and trimming, it still is unstable, you have the option to re-calibrate the drone. 1. Turn on the drone and then the remote and sync. 2. Push and hold the throttle and direction sticks to the lower right corners. 3. The lights will flash and the remote will beep to indicate that the drone has re-calibrated.
TROUBLESHOOTING *Allow 15 minutes to pass between full flights as this will give the motors a chance to cool down. Failure to do so could wear out and shorten the life of the motors. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE Slipstream Wifi does not respond 1. Communication between controller and aircraft was not synchronized during set up 1. To synchronize, turn on aircraft first, place it on level ground, and then turn on controller. 2. Battery power depleted on aircraft, controller or both. 2.
FLYING OUTDOORS HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS To prevent “fly-away” situations (where drones seem to fly away out of control) it is important to first test and practice within close range before letting the drone fly too far away. Each drone is designed to turn off the engines if the radio signal is lost. It is important to know and test the range of your drone before flying. We recommend turning on and syncing the drone and walking away while testing the engines.
