Tips for Safe Operation

•  Only fly in large, open spaces, such as a field or a very large indoor area, free of 

obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc.

•  When flying indoors, avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft will be drawn towards 

them if closer than 2 to 3 feet.

•  Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that it and you are facing the 

same “forward” direction. This will make it easier to determine which direction 

it is flying. Also, remember that the red LED lights/red rotors indicate the front 

of the craft.

•  Practice basic flight operations like take off, hovering, and landing.

•  Flying inside, at low speed and low to the ground will reduce the chance of 

turbulence that can negatively affect the stable flight of the craft.

•  Novice pilots should move the controls slowly and deliberately, using one 

control at a time, to get used to the craft’s flying characteristics. Next, try 

combining the pitch and roll controls (forward/backward and left/right on the 

Right Control Stick) to fly the craft similar to the way an airplane flies. After 

mastering this, try the yaw controls (left/right on the left thumbstick) to spin the 

craft in place and perform more complex maneuvers. 

•  If anything obstructs the rotors for any reason, throttle down IMMEDIATELY and 

safely clear the obstruction. Check for possible damage before flying again.

Speed Setting

The craft has two speed settings for the responsiveness of the flight controls. The 

default setting is slower and intended for novice pilots. The higher setting allows for 

faster, more precise control and is intended more experienced pilots. 

Change the speed setting by pressing down (into the remote) on the 

Left Control 

Stick. A chime will sound once for the slower setting and twice for the faster setting.
