Flight Guide

Important Notes:

• Ensure you turn on the drone first, then the remote controller for each flight.
• Repeat the pairing procedure each time the drone or controller is restarted.
• Calibration is necessary to avoid losing the drone.
• For all flight functions and modes, the drone's head and tail must be aligned.
• It is recommended to fly outdoors and within the control range for beginners.

1. Pairing the Remote Controller with the Drone

Step 1: Turn on the drone. The drone's LEDs will flash rapidly. Place the drone on a flat surface with the drone's head/camera facing forward.

Step 2: Turn on the remote controller. The controller's LED will flash rapidly. Push the left control joystick up to the top, then pull it back to the bottom. A sound will be heard at each step. Pairing is successful when the drone and controller LEDs are solid.

2. Flight Calibration

Option 1: After successfully pairing the drone and controller, move the left control joystick to the bottom right corner at a 45° angle and the right control joystick to the bottom left corner at a 45° angle simultaneously. Hold for 2-3 seconds. Calibration is complete when the drone's LEDs are solid.

Option 2: Press and hold the Reset button for 3 seconds to calibrate the drone directly after pairing.

3. Flight Instructions

Takeoff

Option 1: Press the takeoff button.

Option 2: Move the left control joystick to the bottom left corner at a 45° angle and the right control joystick to the bottom right corner at a 45° angle simultaneously until all four propellers start to rotate, then slowly push the left control joystick forward to take off.

Landing

Option 1: Press the landing button.

Option 2: During flight, pull the left control joystick back to the bottom to land the drone and hold it for at least 3 seconds until all propellers stop rotating.

Flight Directions

Left Joystick

• Ascend/Descend: Push the left control joystick forward, and the drone will ascend. Pull it back, and the drone will descend.
• Rotate Left/Right: Pull the left control joystick to the left, and the drone will rotate left. Pull it to the right, and the drone will rotate right.

Right Joystick

• Forward/Backward: Push the right control joystick forward, and the drone will fly forward. Pull it back, and the drone will fly backward.
• Left/Right: Pull the right control joystick to the left, and the drone will fly left. Pull it to the right, and the drone will fly right.

Aerodynamic Adjustment

• If the drone drifts forward or backward while flying, press the backward or forward arrow to adjust.
• If the drone drifts left or right while flying, press the right or left arrow to adjust.

Speed Switch

The drone is set to low speed by default. Press the SPEED button once for medium speed (two beeps from the controller). Press it again for high speed (three beeps). A third press returns to low speed (one beep).

One-Button Return

Press the RETURN button, and the drone will fly back along a path parallel to its initial takeoff path. Press and hold the button again to cancel the mode.

Headless Mode

Simply press the HEADLESS button to activate the function. The drone's LEDs will flash, and you will hear a beep from the controller. In this mode, the drone will fly in the direction of the right control joystick, regardless of the drone's head or tail position. Press the button again to exit this mode.

360° Rotation

After lifting the drone to a height of over 2 meters, press the 3D FLIP button to activate the 360° Rotation function. Then, push the right control joystick forward/backward/left/right to flip the drone. This function cannot be activated when the drone battery is low.

Altitude Hold

This is one of the drone's default settings. When you release the left control joystick after ascending/descending, the drone will maintain its current flight altitude. For stable flight, control with the adjustment arrows.
