• To land the quadrocopter again, pull the left control lever back slightly in a suitable landing location until the
quadrocopter gravitates to the ground. A somewhat solid touchdown on the ground is no problem and should not
be corrected with jerky throttle movements.
• Try to touch down where possible in vertical position ("helicopter landing"). Avoid landing with high horizontal
speeds ("airplane landing"). After landing, turn off the motors (pull the left control lever to the right/down).
• Practice this starting procedure a few times to get a feel for the quadrotor helicopter. Once you are reasonably sure,
youcanbegintosteertheightdirectionwithyaw,pitchandrollfunctions(seenotesinchapter11).Alwayssteer
slowlyandcarefullyandpracticetheprocessesalittlebeforetryinganewightmanoeuvre.Therstightsshould
not last longer than 30 to 60 seconds respectively.

the model. Only then must the transmitter be turned off.
b) Automatic starting and landing by pushing a button
Attention!
Automatic starting of the model requires an accessible starting position in all directions. This function
therefore can only be used in large halls or outdoors. Persons and objects must be at least 5 metres away
from the starting position. When not observing this, there is a danger of damage to the model or other
objects nearby and a danger of injury to persons/animals in the vicinity!

The model can be started and landed by pushing a button. For this, put the ready-to-start quadrocopter onto a level
surfaceatasufcientdistancefromthepilot(seenotesabove).Tostart,simplypushthebutton"Takeoff/Landing"at

altitude of max. 1.5 metres. Now push the button "Take off/Landing". The model will initiate landing right after this,
reduce height vertically and switch off the rotors on the ground.
