- Left Joystick (Throttle):
- Up/Down: Increase/Decrease altitude.
- Left/Right: Rotate drone left/right (yaw).
- Right Joystick (Directional):
- Up/Down: Move drone forward/backward (pitch).
- Left/Right: Move drone left/right (roll).
- Altitude Hold: The air pressure sensor automatically maintains the drone's altitude once the throttle is released, allowing for stable hovering.
- 6-Axis Gyro: Provides exceptional stability and maneuverability during flight.
4. Speed Settings
The drone has 3 different speed settings. Press the speed button on the remote control to cycle through slow, medium, and high speeds. Start with the slowest speed for beginners.
5. Training Mode
Activate training mode for new pilots. This mode typically limits speed and responsiveness, making the drone easier to control and learn with.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Regularly clean the drone and remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
2. Propeller Replacement
