Getting Started

When you first use the product, recharge the butterfly as described in the "Power Supply" section. Ensure it is charged and the batteries are installed in the remote control. Then, switch on the butterfly using button (1) and the remote using button (6).

How to use the remote:

Install the batteries in the remote, as indicated in the "Power Supply" section.

Butterfly charging time: Charging time: 1 hour. Playing time: 18 minutes.

Switching on the Crosslander® Butterfly

1. Ensure that the remote control is turned off (indicator light off status).
2. Turn on the Butterfly switch (Long press the power button (1)).

ATTENTION: Place the butterfly in the correct direction, with the nose facing straight ahead, and be sure to place it on a level ground.

WARNING! Indoor use only.

Pairing the Butterfly and the Remote

First, turn on the power supply of the butterfly (indicator lights will flash). Orient it correctly and place its nose on a level ground. Then, turn on the power supply of the remote control. After the remote control beeps twice, the butterfly indicator lights will change from dual flashing to constant ones. The pairing is successful.

Diagram shows the butterfly with flashing lights, then the remote control, and finally the butterfly with solid lights indicating successful pairing.

How to Use the Crosslander® Butterfly

Flight Modes

Mode 1: Joystick movements correspond directly to the butterfly’s directional movements: forward, backward, left, and right.

Mode 2: Joystick movements control the butterfly’s ascent and descent: rising in front and descending in the back, with left and right turns.

In both modes: Vertical pressing of the joystick once causes the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY to roll right, twice to roll left, and three times to roll forward. After four rolls, the sequence cycles.

Basic Operations

1. Calibration

Method 1: In any mode, long press the left wing upwards to calibrate.

Method 2: After activating the drone, push the joystick forward once for calibration.

Diagrams illustrate pressing the left wing upwards or pushing the joystick forward for calibration.

2. Fine-Tuning

Press and hold the arrow key (8) to emit a beep sound. Release the keys to enter fine-tuning mode.

Once the butterfly is airborne:

• If the butterfly drifts backward, continuously push the joystick upwards until it stabilizes and ceases fine-tuning.
• If the butterfly moves forward, continuously push the joystick downwards until it stabilizes and stops fine-tuning.
• If the butterfly shifts to the right, continuously push the joystick to the left until it stabilizes, then release to stop fine-tuning.
• If the butterfly moves to the left, continuously push the joystick (10) to the right until it stabilizes, then release to stop fine-tuning.

Diagrams show joystick movements to correct backward, forward, right, and left drifts.

3. Emergency Stop

Short press the wings button (3) upwards and the butterfly will come to a sudden stop.

Diagram shows pressing the emergency stop button.

4. Throw and Fly

The paired CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY can be laid flat in any orientation, then thrown into the air to take off and hover.

Diagram shows the butterfly being thrown into the air.

5. One-Click Takeoff and Landing

Short press the takeoff/landing button (4) to takeoff or land.

Diagram shows pressing the takeoff/landing button.

6. Hover

Long press the whirl button (7) to rotate, release the button to stop rotating.

Diagram shows pressing the whirl button.

7. Hover Up and Down

Enter hover mode after one-click takeoff.

Diagram shows the butterfly hovering.

8. Left and Right Turns

• In Mode 1, press and hold the gravity unlock button (9). Tilt the remote control to the left to make the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY’s head turn left. Tilt the remote control to the right to make the butterfly’s head turn right.
• In Mode 2, move the remote control joystick (10) to the left to make the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY turn its head left. Move the remote control lever to the right to make the butterfly turn its head right.

Diagrams illustrate tilting the remote or moving the joystick for left and right turns.

9. Flight Forward/Backward

• In Mode 1, move the remote control joystick (10) forward to make the butterfly fly forward; pull back to make it fly backward.
• In Mode 2, hold down the gravity unlock button (9). Lower the remote control forward to make the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY fly forward; tilt the remote control backward to make it fly backward.

Diagrams illustrate joystick movements or remote tilting for forward and backward flight.

10. Left Side/Right Side Flight

• In Mode 1, move the remote control lever (10) to the left to make the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY fly to the left; when moving it to the right, it flies to the right.
• In Mode 2, hold down the gravity unlock button (9). Tilt the remote control to the left to make the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY fly to the left; tilt to the right to make it fly to the right.

Diagrams illustrate joystick movements or remote tilting for left and right side flight.

11. Rise and Fall

• In Mode 1, following a single-click takeoff, the Butterfly hovers at approximately 2 meters. Press and hold the gravity unlock button, tilt the remote control forward to initiate descent, and tilt backward to make it rise.
• In Mode 2, pushing the remote control joystick forward causes the butterfly to rise; pulling the joystick back lowers it.

Diagrams show joystick movements for ascending and descending.

12. Roll on the Left/Right

In any mode: While the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY is hovering, press the joystick of the remote control vertically. The first press causes the butterfly to roll to the right, the second press to the left, the third press forward, and the fourth press backward, cycling in sequence.

Diagrams illustrate vertical joystick presses for rolling actions.

Advanced Features

Headless Mode

When the Butterfly is in headless mode, regardless of which direction it is facing, it will be directed towards the user (remote control).

1. To activate the Headless mode, short press the illustrated key (button 7). The remote control emits a beep every 6 seconds, indicating that it is in automatic positioning mode.
2. Pushing the joystick to the right on the remote control will cause the Butterfly to move away from the pilot’s position, typically to the right side of the pilot. Conversely, pushing the joystick to the left will cause the Butterfly to move toward the left side of the pilot. This directional control is relative to the pilot’s orientation and remains consistent regardless of the Butterfly’s actual orientation in the air.
3. Short press the key (7) to exit headless mode.

Diagram illustrates the concept of headless mode where the butterfly follows the remote's orientation.

Sensing Mode (Obstacle Avoidance)

1. Press and hold the button (4) as shown to enter sensing mode, then press and hold to exit mode.
2. When flying in sensing mode, if hands or objects approach the front end of the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY, it will automatically sense this and execute a 90-degree turn to the right to avoid potential collisions.
3. In sensing mode, if hands or objects approach the rear end of the CROSSLANDER® BUTTERFLY, it will detect this proximity and respond by flying forward approximately 1 meter. This feature enhances the drone’s ability to interact with its surroundings and perform controlled movements.

Diagrams show the butterfly reacting to objects approaching its front (turning) and rear (moving forward).
