• Left Joystick (Throttle):
  • Push up: Increase altitude (Ascend)
  • Push down: Decrease altitude (Descend)
  • Push left/right: Rotate drone left/right (Yaw)
• Right Joystick (Direction):
  • Push up: Fly forward
  • Push down: Fly backward
  • Push left: Fly left (Strafe left)
  • Push right: Fly right (Strafe right)
• Trim Buttons: Use these buttons to fine-tune the drone's stability if it drifts in any direction during hover.

4.2 Speed Settings

The drone features 3 selectable speeds, with a maximum speed of 6 km/h. Use the speed button on the remote control to cycle through the speed modes (usually indicated by beeps or LED flashes).

4.3 Headless Mode

Headless Mode simplifies control by eliminating the need to orient the drone. In this mode, the drone's 'front' is always relative to the pilot's position when headless mode was activated, regardless of the drone's actual orientation. Activate Headless Mode using the dedicated button on the remote control.

4.4 Stunt Function

The drone can perform impressive changes of direction. Refer to the remote control diagram for the specific stunt button. Typically, pressing this button and then moving the right joystick in a direction will execute a flip or roll.
