Drone Operation
Using the throttle you can control the rotation axis of the drone. Using the directional joystick you can control the flight direction of the drone.
The mode available on this model is mode 2 with the throttle on the left. It is not possible to switch modes.
The different calibration buttons help keep the drone stationary. Test this by pressing the accelerator and calibration buttons to maintain the drone in one place.
You can choose the percentage of speed. Higher values mean faster reaction (e.g., 100% is more responsive than 40%).
The two module buttons are used to activate different modules: photos / shots / basket.
Diagram Description: Images show battery compartment and insertion of AA batteries into the remote.
Insert the battery by sliding the cover down. Then insert 6 x AA batteries as indicated under the cover.
Headless Mode
Headless mode means the quadcopter's direction of flight, as seen from your viewpoint, follows the controls directly, regardless of the quadcopter's orientation. This is also referred to as 'Care Free' (CF) mode and is typically done with a digital compass. For example, pressing the stick to the left will make the quadcopter fly left from your viewpoint. Without headless mode, if the quadcopter is pointing towards you, pressing the stick left would make it fly right.
Headless Mode Operation: Straighten the copter (red blades in front). Long press the Headless Mode button for 2 seconds to enter Headless Mode; the transmitter will start beeping. Long press the Headless Mode button for 2 seconds to exit; the transmitter will stop beeping.
Altitude Hold
This model is equipped with a barometer, allowing the quadcopter to hold its altitude without remote input.
Starting the Copter:
- Connect the battery to the copter.
- Turn on the remote.
- Throttle up/down to connect drone to remote.
- Arm the quad by moving the throttle to the bottom left and the directional stick to the bottom right.
- By holding the throttle down for more than 2 seconds, you use it to adjust height. Holding it for just one second allows the copter to ascend to approximately 1m altitude and maintain height.
- Adjust altitude with throttle up/down.
Ending:
- Keep the light button (middle right) pressed for 1 second to autoland.
- Alternatively, throttle down. When securely landed, disarm the quad by moving the throttle to the bottom left and the directional stick to the right.
How to Fly
Flying is relatively simple but requires some practice. Visit www.wltoys.eu to watch educational films.
Flight Controls
Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate drone movements: Sideward, Forward, Altitude, and Turn.
Sideward:
The directional lever serves to move the drone to the left or the right.
Forward:
Pushing the directional lever up and down makes your drone go forward or backward.
Altitude:
Pushing the gear lever up and down makes your altitude rise or fall.
Turn:
Pushing the gear lever from side to side, the drone will turn on its own axis.
Procedure to Spare Engine
Engines are brushed and eventually wear out. When worn out, they need to be replaced. For more information, go to www.wltoys.eu.
Never go full speed for the first 3 flights. After 3 flights, blow out engines with air when possible.
Spare engines can be bought on www.wltoys.eu or from your reseller.
The First Flight
- For your first flight, ensure you are with someone experienced in flying copters. We advise making your first flights on a relatively soft surface to protect the copter.
- Find a location away from people, with a smooth surface and without obstacles. Avoid trees, electric lines, and water points in the immediate vicinity.
- Place your copter on the ground about 10 feet away from you. Note that for quadcopters, the colored blades indicate the front. It is easiest to position yourself behind the copter for easier control.
- Turn the copter on first. Then turn on the remote control (for some models, this is reversed). Some models require arming the motors first. Turn on the copter and controller, then move the throttle up and down to connect. After this, move the throttle to the bottom left and the directional lever to the bottom right simultaneously, holding them for a few seconds to arm the motors.
- Start the engine and take off to about 1 meter from the ground to avoid the "ground effect." Near the ground, air currents behave differently than at higher altitudes, which can prevent loss of control.
- Then, try to fly gently in one direction. If the engine flies away in the wrong direction, make a controlled landing and try again.
Caution
- Ensure the copter in flight is always within sight and under control.
- Always use a fully charged battery.
- When finished flying, always turn off the copter first, then the remote control.
- Do not use the copter if it has visible or mechanical damage.
- Always fly in an open and safe environment to avoid dangerous situations.
- Always stay out of reach of rotors.
- Remember to disconnect the battery of the copter after each flight.
- Ensure you adhere to all legal requirements for your copter model in the country of use.
- If you lose control of the copter, disable propulsion immediately by pushing the throttle lever down to turn it off.
Calibration
If the copter is unstable, resulting in erratic flying and rotation around its axis, requiring constant correction, the gyroscope may not be calibrated properly. To recalibrate, connect the drone to the transmitter (refer to "Activation" in the manual), then press the 100% button on the remote and move both sticks to the bottom left. Calibration is confirmed by a long beep or flashing lights (on the PCB), or both.
Note: Calibration is performed at the factory and is usually not necessary upon receiving the product.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Issue: Receiver LED blinks continuously for more than 4 seconds after battery insertion; no response to command input. Transmitter not connected.
- Solution: Repeat the power-on initialization process.
- Issue: No response from quadcopter after battery connection.
- Solution: Check for contact failure on battery terminals. Turn on the transmitter and ensure the vehicle battery is correctly inserted. Replace the battery and ensure good contact at the battery's connections. Use fully charged batteries in the remote.
- Issue: Motor does not respond to throttle stick, receiver flashes.
- Solution: Quadcopter's battery is exhausted. Charge the battery or replace it with a charged battery.
- Issue: Main rotor continues to rotate after landing.
- Solution: Confirm the gear lever is oriented downward.
- Issue: Main rotor rotates, but the device does not take off.
- Solution: Blades may be distorted, or the quadcopter battery is exhausted. Charge or replace the battery, and/or replace the blades.
- Issue: Quadcopter suffers from strong vibrations.
- Solution: Blades are distorted. Replace the blades.
- Issue: Tail is not balanced, or speed is inconsistent in left/right pirouette.
- Solution: Tail rotors are probably damaged. Replace the main wing and/or the main engine.
- Issue: Quadcopter moved forward after lever adjustment during hover.
- Solution: Gyroscope is not correctly calibrated. The gear lever is placed too high or too low. Refine calibration by restarting on a flat surface.
- Issue: Cannot fly; helicopter falls.
- Solution: Motor may have fallen out, or gears are loose. Reinstall the motor and tighten the gears.
