4. Setup
Follow these steps to prepare your QIDI 570 RC Glider for its first flight.
4.1 Battery Installation and Charging
- Aircraft Battery: Insert the 7.4V 1000mAh lithium battery into the aircraft's battery compartment. Ensure it is securely connected.
- Charging: Connect the lithium battery to the charging cable and then to a suitable USB power source. The charging time is approximately 45 minutes. Do not leave charging batteries unattended.
- Remote Control Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control and insert 4 No. 5 dry batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity.
4.2 Remote Control Binding
- Ensure both the aircraft and remote control are powered off.
- Power on the aircraft. The indicator light will flash.
- Power on the remote control. Move the throttle stick (left stick) to its lowest position, then push it to the highest position, and then back to the lowest position.
- The indicator light on the aircraft will become solid, indicating successful binding.
5. Operating Instructions
The QIDI 570 offers multiple flight modes and precise control. Familiarize yourself with the controls before attempting flight.
5.1 Flight Modes
The aircraft supports 3 distinct flight models, allowing for vertical takeoff and traditional fixed-wing flight. Refer to your remote control's specific buttons for switching between modes.

5.2 Basic Flight Controls
The remote control features a 6-channel system for comprehensive flight control:
- Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls altitude.
- Yaw (Left Stick Left/Right): Controls rotation around the vertical axis.
- Pitch (Right Stick Up/Down): Controls forward/backward movement.
- Roll (Right Stick Left/Right): Controls banking left/right.
5.3 Takeoff and Landing
The QIDI 570 supports both vertical and conventional takeoffs and landings depending on the selected flight mode.
- Vertical Takeoff: In vertical mode, slowly increase throttle to lift off the ground.
- Conventional Takeoff: In fixed-wing mode, place the aircraft on a flat surface, increase throttle, and gently push the pitch stick forward to gain speed and lift.
- Landing: Reduce throttle gradually while maintaining control. For vertical landing, slowly descend. For fixed-wing landing, approach at a low altitude and reduce throttle to glide to a gentle touchdown.
5.4 Flight Control System Details
The flight control system includes two receiver conversion sockets:
- 5V Socket: Suitable for FUTABA (S-BUS) and other receivers with S-BUS ports.
- 3V Socket: Used for DSM receivers.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your QIDI 570 RC Glider.
- Cleaning: After each flight, gently wipe down the aircraft with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for cracks, bends, or damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spares and screwdriver.
- Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not fully discharge lithium batteries. Charge them before storage if they will not be used for an extended period.
- Motor and Servo Check: Ensure motors spin freely and servos respond correctly to remote control inputs.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your QIDI 570, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Aircraft does not respond to remote control | Not bound, low remote battery, low aircraft battery | Re-bind the remote control. Replace remote batteries. Charge aircraft battery. |
| Short flight time | Battery not fully charged, old battery, aggressive flying | Ensure battery is fully charged. Consider replacing old batteries. Practice smoother flying. |
| Aircraft is difficult to control or unstable | Damaged propeller, unbalanced gyro, strong wind | Check and replace damaged propellers. Ensure gyro is calibrated (refer to remote control manual). Fly in calm conditions. |
| Motor not working | Loose connection, motor damage | Check all wiring connections. If motor is damaged, contact support for replacement. |
