5. Operation

5.1 Pre-Flight Checklist

• Ensure batteries are fully charged and correctly installed.
• Verify the aircraft and remote control are successfully paired.
• Check for any damage to propellers or fuselage.
• Choose a safe, open flying area.

5.2 Takeoff and Landing

• One-Key Takeoff: After pairing, press the One-Key Takeoff/Landing button. The aircraft will automatically ascend and hover at a stable altitude.
• Manual Takeoff: Gently push the left joystick (throttle) upwards to make the aircraft ascend.
• One-Key Landing: During flight, press the One-Key Takeoff/Landing button. The aircraft will automatically descend and land gently.
• Manual Landing: Gently pull the left joystick (throttle) downwards to make the aircraft descend.
