3. Setup

3.1 Charging the Aircraft Battery

1. Connect the aircraft battery to the provided USB charger.
2. Plug the USB charger into a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
3. The charger's indicator light will illuminate during charging and turn off when charging is complete.
4. Charging typically takes approximately 60-90 minutes. Do not overcharge the battery.

3.2 Remote Controller Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote controller.
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) according to the polarity markings.
3. Close the battery compartment securely.

3.3 Gravity-Sensing Watch Controller Battery Installation

1. The gravity-sensing watch controller has a built-in rechargeable battery. Charge it using a micro USB cable (not included) if necessary.
2. Ensure the watch is fully charged before use.

3.4 Propeller Installation

If propellers need replacement, ensure they are installed correctly according to their rotation direction. Match the propeller type (A or B) to the corresponding motor shaft.

3.5 Filling the Water Tank for Tail Spray

1. Locate the small water tank on the rear underside of the aircraft.
2. Carefully open the rubber plug.
3. Fill the tank with a small amount of clean water using a dropper or small bottle (not included).
4. Securely close the rubber plug to prevent leakage.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Power On and Pairing

1. Insert the charged aircraft battery into the plane and connect it. The aircraft's LED lights will flash.
2. Turn on the remote controller or the gravity-sensing watch controller.
3. Place the aircraft on a flat surface.
4. The aircraft and controller will automatically pair. The aircraft's lights will become solid once paired.

4.2 Basic Flight Controls (Remote Controller)

• One-Click Take-off/Landing: Press the designated button to automatically take off or land.
• Rise/Fall: Use the left joystick (throttle) to control altitude.
• Turn Left/Right: Use the left joystick to rotate the aircraft horizontally.
• Forward/Backward: Use the right joystick to move the aircraft forward or backward.
• Side-to-Side Flight: Use the right joystick to move the aircraft left or right.
• Trimming Keys: Use the trimming buttons to fine-tune the aircraft's stability if it drifts in any direction.
• Speed Control: Adjust flight speed using the speed button.
• Rolling (3D Flip): Press the rolling button and then move the right joystick in a direction to perform a 3D flip.
• Headless Mode: Short press the Headless Mode button. In this mode, the aircraft's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of its actual front direction.
• One-Click Return: Long press the One-Click Reverse button to initiate an automatic return to the take-off point.
• Emergency Stop: Long press the One-Click Unlock/Take-off/Land button for an emergency stop.

4.3 Gravity-Sensing Watch Control

• Finger Keys: Short press to roll/gyroscope calibration. Long press to fit with palm to control up/down/rotate side to side.
• Power On/Frequency: Press and hold the power button.
• Unlock/Take Off/Land: Tap the button.
