e) Clearing/Locking the Drive

To keep the motors from starting up accidentally imme-

diately after the rechargeable battery is connected, they

need to be cleared in the remote control.

Forthis,movethepitchcontrolstick(gure13)diago-

nally downwards to the right and hold this position for

approx. 3 seconds.

If you move the pitch control stick slightly forward now,

the motors will start to turn.

If the pitch control stick is in the bottom position (motor

off) for 10 seconds, the drive is re-locked for reasons

of safety.

You can activate the lock by moving the pitch control

stick diagonally down to the left and leaving it there for

3 seconds.
