Flying the 4-channel Quadrocopter
NOTE!
Take care particularly in the first few flights to move
the lever on the controller very gently and not over-
hurriedly. As a rule, only very small movements of the
respective levers are necessary to carry out the desired
control commands!
If you notice that the Quadrocopter moves forwards or to the
side without your touching the respective lever, please adjust
the trim of the Quadrocopter as described in (
+/- Gas (up / down)

tiously to the left or the right.
To fly the Quadrocopter to the left or the right,
11
push the lever on the right cautiously to the left or
the right.
To fly the Quadrocopter forwards or backwards,
12
push the lever on the right cautiously forwards or
backwards.
Looping function
WARNING! ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED PILOTS!
When you press the looping button, an audi-
13a
ble signal sounds until you move the right-hand
joystick either up or down, or right or left. The
Quadrocopter then carries out the loop or roll in
the respective direction. Before you do this, make
sure you have ample room on all sides (about
2.5 m – 8').

The Quadrocopter reacts very sensitively to joy-
stick movements. Signal sounds three times on
switching over.
Video & photo function
Fit the 1GB Micro SD-card underneath at the rear
13c
in the SD card slot in the quadrocopter. Make sure
the metal contacts on the SD-card are facing in
the right direction (see figure).
WARNING! Be certain to fit the SD-card in the
quadrocopter before connecting the battery!
Recording a video:
Press the "Take video" button to begin video-recording. Press

the button again to stop recording. While recording, the LED
on the right next to the SD-card slot on the Quadrocopter
flashes red. No sound is recorded.
Taking a photo:
Press the "Take picture" button on the left, and the camera
takes a photo. The LED on the right next to the SD-card slot on
the Quadrocopter flashes red once after each photo is taken. If
the SD-card is full, the LED will flash red / green. In this case,
delete videos or photos from the SD-card.
Playing back the videos/looking at photos:
Plug the Micro-SD-card into the USB adapter and connect this
to a computer. You will now find a removable storage device
in 'File Explorer'. You will find the video files e.g. "MOVI0000.
avi" on the data carrier in the file "Video" The videos are AVI-
files. This video format is supported by many video players as
standard. You will find the photo files, e.g. "PICT0000.jpg" in
the file folder "Photo". The photos are JPG files – a standard
format for photos. If you should unintentionally delete either
file "Video" or "Photo", it will be recreated on the next applica-
tion in the Quadrocopter.
Trimming the Quadrocopter
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies to the left
14
or right without you moving the lever for left / right
movement, please proceed as follows:
If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or slow
sideways to the left, press the lower right trimmer
for right / left tilt in steps to the right. If the Quad-
rocopter moves right, press the trimmer for right /
left tilt in steps to the left.
When hovering, if the Quadrocopter flies forwards
15
or backwards without you moving the lever for for-
wards or backwards movement, please proceed
as follows:
If the Quadrocopter moves on its own fast or
slow forwards, press the upper right trimmer for
forwards / backwards in steps downwards. If the
Quadrocopter moves backwards, press the trim-
mer for forwards / backwards in steps upwards.
When hovering and without you moving the lever
16
for circling on the spot, if the quadrocopter rotates
to left or right, proceed as follows: If the quadro-
copter rotates quickly or slowly to the left around
its own axis, press the trimmer for rotation below
left in steps to the right. If the quadrocopter rotates
to the right, press the trimmer for rotation in steps
to the left.
Changing the rotor blades
Use a smooth narrow object to help draw off a ro-
17
tor blade if necessary. Make sure that you draw
the rotor blade with great care vertically upwards,
and hold the motor from below to stabilise it.
WARNING!

Be sure to note the marking and colour, also the tilt
angle of the rotor blades!
Front left: red – marking "B"
Front right: red – marking "A"
Rear right: black – marking "B"
Rear left: black – marking "A"
