PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
TRIM ADJUSTMENT ON THE RADIO CONTROL TRANSMITTER
Correct trim adjustment is required for error and erractic-free flying of the quad-
copter. The adjustment is simple to do on the radio control transmitter, but it
requires some patience. Please follow the instructions precisely. For best results,
move the throttle up and raise the quadcopter approximately 2-3 feet (0.5-1 meter)
in altitude.
If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right:
Press the trim control for SIDE MOVEMENT incrementally in the opposite
direction of movement
If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis:
Press the trim control for ROTATION incrementally in the opposite direction
of movement
If the quadcopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or backwards:
Press the trim control for FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS flight incrementally in the
opposite direction of movement
Check to make sure the power switch is in the ON position. If set to OFF, move to the ON position.
Check to make sure the batteries are installed correctly. Check to make sure they match the polarity markings.
If the batteries are installed correctly, they may be exhausted. Replace with new and fresh batteries.
If there isn’t any accurate control of the vehicle, make sure of the following:
• Make sure the radio control transmitter is set to the ON position
• Make sure the battery on the vehicle is installed correctly
• The vehicle may fly erratically if wind conditions are too strong. Fly the vehicle under calm conditions.
• Make sure the radio control transmitter has paired correctly with the vehicle. If not, power down the
vehicle and the radio control and start over.
The rotor speed may be too slow to lift the quadcopter sufficiently. Make sure the throttle is being raised
sufficiently. If the unit still does not go up or goes up too slowly, the battery of the quadcopter might be too
discharged for safe or satisfactory operation. Charge the battery before continuing to fly the unit.
If the unit fails to go up in altitude or goes up too slowly, try the following:
Landing the unit takes skill and practice. If the unit comes down too fast, it may damage the landing gear and/or the
quadcopter. Try to ease the unit down in altitude by slowly lowering the throttle stick till the unit is on the ground.
