e) Practical Flight Advice for the First Start
• Even if the model can y in the narrowest spaces, for the rst test ights, we recommend using a free space of about
3 x 3 m.
• The support should be at (tiles, parquet ooring, or similar) to allow you to determine even before take-off if the
model tends to drift off in a particular direction.
• If you perform the rst ight outdoors, you should do so on a perfectly wind-still day.
• Place yourself exactly behind your quadrocopter. As long as the two booms with the black propellers point towards
you and you thus see your model from behind, it will react to the control commands: right, left, forward, backward
exactly as you see it. Whereas, if the white propellers of the model points towards you, it reacts exactly the opposite
way from your steering commands at the transmitter from your view.
Important!
Do not pull the control lever for the pitch function down suddenly. This would cause the drive to switch off
and the quadrocopter to drop to the ground, which may cause damage. Pull the control lever back slowly
and thus reduce the ight height carefully.
If the propellers hit any objects and are blocked, slide the pitch lever into the bottom-most position at once so that the
affected drive motors are no longer supplied with power.
Caution, important!
Never try grabbing the ying quadrocopter with your hand. There is an increased danger of injury!
When the red and green LEDs at the quadrocopter start to ash, the ight battery has reached its lower voltage limit.
In this case, end your ight without delay and charge the ight battery again to avoid harmful deep discharge of the
ight battery.
If you are using the quadrocopter outdoors, observe the ight distance. The farther the quadrocopter moves away
from you, the more difcult it is to recognise the ight position. In this context, also observe the limited range of the
remote control transmitter.
Never switch off the remote control while the quadrocopter is still ying. In this case, the quadrocopter would drop to
the ground without power, which may damage it.
