Flight Operation Guide

Pair the Remote with the Drone

Step 1: Turn on the drone, then the remote. Drone LEDs will flash. Place the drone on a flat surface with the head facing forward.

Step 2: Push the Left Control Stick forward to the top, then pull it backward to the bottom. Pairing is successful when the drone LEDs turn solid from a quick flash.

Flight Calibration

Move both control sticks to the lower right at a 45° angle and hold for 2-3 seconds after pairing. Calibration is complete when the drone LEDs turn solid from a quick flash.

Instructions of the Remote

Left Control Stick:

• Pushing the Left Control Stick forward makes the drone ascend; pulling it backward makes the drone descend.
• Pulling the Left Control Stick leftward makes the drone rotate left; pulling it rightward makes the drone rotate right.

Right Control Stick:

• Pushing the Right Control Stick forward makes the drone fly forward; pulling it backward makes the drone fly backward.
• Pulling the Right Control Stick leftward makes the drone fly leftward; pulling it rightward makes the drone fly rightward.

Altitude Hold/Hover

When the Left Control Stick is released after ascending/descending, the drone will hover at the current flight height. Use the trim buttons to adjust for a stable flight.

Flight Trimming

• If the drone drifts forward or backward while hovering, slightly press the Backward Trim or Forward Trim button to adjust.
• If the drone drifts leftward or rightward while hovering, slightly press the Rightward Trim or Leftward Trim button to adjust.

Take-off

• Option 1: Press the [Take-off/Landing] button.
• Option 2: Move the Left Control Stick to the lower left at 45° and the Right Control Stick to the lower right at 45° simultaneously until all four rotor blades start rotating, then slowly push the Left Control Stick forward to take off.

Landing

• Option 1: Press the [Take-off/Landing] button during flight.
• Option 2: Pull the Left Control Stick backward to the bottom and hold for at least 3 seconds until all rotor blades stop rotating.

360° Flip

Fly the drone to a height over 2 meters, press the 360° Flip button, and move the Right Control Stick forward/backward/leftward/rightward to flip the drone accordingly.

One Key Return & Headless Mode

One Key Return: Long press the [One Key Return] button. The drone will fly towards its back, following a path parallel to its original take-off path. Long press the button again or push the Right Control Stick forward to cancel One Key Return mode.

Headless Mode: Press the [Headless Mode] button to activate. In this mode, the drone flies according to the direction of the Right Control Stick, regardless of the drone's head or tail position. Press the same button again to exit Headless Mode.

Standard Mode vs. Headless Mode: In Standard Mode, the drone's orientation matters. In Headless Mode, the drone's movement is dictated by the remote control's orientation, not the drone's physical orientation.

High-speed Rotation & Circle Fly

High-speed Rotation: Press the [Speed Switch] button to rotate the drone at high speed. Press the button again or move the Right Control Stick in any direction to exit High-speed Rotation mode.

Circle Fly: In barrier-free areas within a 5M radius, long press the [Speed Switch] button to make the drone fly in circles. Long press the button again or move the Right Control Stick in any direction to exit Circle Fly mode.

Speed Switch

The drone defaults to low speed. Press the Speed Switch button once for medium speed, again for high speed, and a third press returns to low speed.
