10.0 FLY

⚠️ Caution: Rotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not start the motors when people are nearby. Always keep your hands on the transmitter as long as the motor is still spinning.

Before Flight

Please unfold the collapsible arms before flight.

10.1 Pairing

1. First, slide the Power Switch button left to turn on the drone. Place the drone on a flat, level surface with the head facing forward and the tail facing towards the pilot.
2. Turn on the Transmitter. After one second, a beep will be heard, and the drone's indicator lights will flash and then turn solid, indicating successful pairing.

10.2 Calibrate the Gyro

After pairing, push the left joystick down to the bottom right and the right joystick down to the bottom left simultaneously. A beep sound will be heard from the transmitter, and the drone's indicator lights will blink then turn solid, indicating calibration is complete.

? Tip: To ensure a stable flight, calibrate the gyro after pairing or after a crash. Do NOT calibrate the gyro while flying.

10.3 Unlocking the Motors

After pairing or calibration, press the Unlocking button to unlock the motors. The propellers will start spinning.

10.4 One Key Takeoff

After unlocking, press the One Key Takeoff button for automatic takeoff. Alternatively, push the left joystick up slowly to take off and ascend the drone.

10.5 One Key Landing

Press the One Key Landing button during flight to land the drone automatically.

11.0 Functions Details

11.1 Joystick Mode

Left Joystick:

• Up: Ascend
• Down: Descend
• Left: Rotate Left
• Right: Rotate Right

Right Joystick:

• Up: Forward
• Down: Backward
• Left: Fly to Left
• Right: Fly to Right

11.2 Emergency Stop

⚠️ Note: The Emergency Stop function should only be used in an emergency during flight to avoid damage or injury.

Push the left joystick down to the bottom right and the right joystick down to the bottom left simultaneously. The motors will stop immediately. Be aware that this action carries a risk of drone breakage if it falls from a considerable distance or hits an object at high speed.

11.3 Trimmer

Forward/Backward (F/B) Sideways Drift Trim:

When the drone drifts forward, press the backward trimmer button to rebalance. If the drone drifts backward, press the forward trimmer button to rebalance.

Left/Right (L/R) Sideways Drift Trim:

When the drone drifts to the left, press the right trimmer button to rebalance. If the drone drifts to the right, press the left trimmer button to rebalance.

? Tip: If the drone loses balance and trim buttons are unresponsive, try resetting the drone's trimmer data. Push both joysticks down to the bottom left simultaneously. The drone's lights will blink and then turn solid, indicating the trimmer data is reset. This step can only be performed before the drone takes off.

11.4 High-Speed Rotation

Short press the High-Speed Rotation button during flight. The transmitter will make a "Di" sound, indicating the drone has entered High-Speed Rotation mode. Pressing the same button again will exit this mode.

11.5 Speed Switch

This drone features 3 speed modes: Low, Medium, and High. Press the Speed Switch button on the transmitter to change modes. The transmitter emits sounds: "Di" for Low Speed, "DiDi" for Medium Speed, and "DiDiDi" for High Speed. (Low speed is the default mode).

11.6 360° Flip

Once familiar with the drone's functions, try the 360° Flip mode. Fly the drone at least 10 feet (approx. 3 meters) high. Press the Right Joystick on the transmitter, then push it Forward/Backward or Left/Right to perform a flip in the corresponding direction.

? Tip: This function performs best with a fully charged battery. If you do not operate the controls after entering the 360° Flip mode, short press the right joystick again to exit.

11.7 One Key Return

⚠️ Caution: Please avoid using this function when the drone is near the pilot, as it may cause injury.

The pilot should face the same direction as the drone's head points when it takes off.

After pressing the One Key Return button, the drone will fly backward towards the direction its tail pointed during takeoff. Press the One Key Return button again to regain manual control and cancel the function.

Track Indicators: ❌ Wrong Track, ⭕ Right Track.

11.8 Headless Mode

Headless Mode is a useful training tool for beginners and when the drone is too far to easily determine its orientation. In this mode, the drone moves forward, backward, left, or right according to the right joystick's direction, regardless of the drone's actual front.

The pilot should face the same direction as the drone's head points when it takes off.

Entering Headless Mode: Press the Headless Mode button. The transmitter will beep once, and the drone's lights will start blinking constantly.

Exiting Headless Mode: Press the Headless Mode button again. The drone's lights will turn solid, indicating it has exited Headless Mode.

Why is the orientation of the drone important?

In normal flying mode, drone control can be counter-intuitive for beginners. For example, if the drone's head points to your right, pushing the right joystick forward makes the drone fly to your right, not forward. In Headless Mode, the drone has a fixed "head" reference point, always remembering the direction it faced at takeoff as the front. This means if it takes off facing forward, pushing the right joystick forward will always make it fly forward, regardless of its orientation in the air. Similarly, if its head points towards you, pushing the right joystick left will make it fly to your left.

11.9 Circle Fly

Press and hold the Circle Fly button for about 3 seconds to enter Circle Fly mode. Exit by long-pressing the same button again or pushing the right joystick in any direction.

11.10 Altitude-hold Function

The drone is equipped with an altitude-hold function to maintain its altitude after releasing the left joystick. The left joystick will automatically return to the center position.
