Operating Instructions

Basic Flight Controls (Model 2 - Left Hand Throttle)

• Left Joystick (Throttle):
  • Up/Down: Increase/Decrease altitude.
  • Left/Right: Rotate drone left/right (Yaw).
• Right Joystick (Direction):
  • Up/Down: Fly forward/backward (Pitch).
  • Left/Right: Fly left/right (Roll).
• Trim Buttons: Use the small buttons near the joysticks to fine-tune the drone's stability if it drifts in any direction.

Special Features

• Smart Hovering (Barometer Altitude Setting): The drone is equipped with a barometer for altitude hold, allowing it to maintain a stable height automatically.
• One-Button Control: Look for a dedicated button on the remote for easy take-off or landing (refer to remote control diagram for exact button).
• Headless Mode: Activates a mode where the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of which way the drone's front is facing. This simplifies control for beginners.
• Multi-Gear Flight: Allows selection of different speed modes (e.g., low, medium, high) to suit varying skill levels and environments.
• Stunt Roll: Press the stunt button (refer to remote control diagram) and move the right joystick in a direction to perform a 360-degree flip.

Always practice in a safe, open environment until you are comfortable with the controls.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the drone and remote control. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
• Propeller Replacement: If propellers are damaged, use the provided propeller removal tool and spare propellers to replace them. Ensure the new propellers are installed correctly according to their rotation direction (if marked).
• Battery Care:
  • Do not store batteries fully charged or fully depleted for long periods. Aim for around 50% charge for storage.
  • Remove AA batteries from the remote control if not used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
  • If the drone battery swells or shows signs of damage, discontinue use immediately and dispose of it properly.
• Storage: Store the drone and remote control in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

User Tips

• For best flight stability, always power on the drone and place it on a flat surface before pairing with the remote.
• Start flying in low-speed mode to get accustomed to the controls, then gradually increase speed as your skills improve.
• The spherical cage provides excellent protection, making it ideal for indoor play or learning without fear of damage.
• Practice basic maneuvers like hovering and gentle turns before attempting stunts.
