may affect the quadrocopter. A quicker response to the controlling motions and slight swerving of the
quadrocopter forwards, backwards or to the side may result from this. This so-called ground effect is no

The quadrocopter is a powerful machine. You must move the left throttle joystick slowly (the accelerator
joystick) to ensure that the quadrocopter does not climb rapidly and cause a collision.
Youcanusethetrimbuttonstocorrecttheightiftheaircraftisspinningordeviatingfromitsdirection.
a) Flight controls
• The left throttle joystick (7) controls the ascent/descent and the turn on itself in both directions.
• The right direction joystick (20) controls the forward/backward and lateral displacement in both directions. See
Fig. 6.
• The speed selector (1) controls the speed. With each press of the speed selector a different speed will be set and
indicated by the number of beeps corresponding to the speed setting. The quadrocopter can be set to four different
speeds with the transmitter: 20% (1 beep), 50% (2 beeps), 70% (3 beeps), 100% (4 beeps).
• If you use the app and control the speed by app there are three different speeds available: 30%, 60%, 100%.
