3C Replace the cover and screw in the locking screw clockwise.

4 CHARGING THE MULTICOPTER

Attention: The battery and motor must cool down for 10 to 15 minutes before charging and after every flight. Otherwise they can be damaged. The charging process must be constantly monitored. Always ensure that the charging process takes place on a fireproof surface in a fire-resistant environment.

• Unplug the multicopter from the battery, switch off the remote control and plug the charger into an outlet. The control LED on the charger illuminates green (4A).
• Remove the battery from the battery compartment (do not hold by the cable!) (4B).
• Now plug the battery into the charger. Pay attention to the polarity. Please do not use force. The red LED on the USB charger goes out when the charging process starts.
• The charging process lasts approx. 90 minutes and must be continuously monitored. The red LED on the charger lights up as soon as the charging process is finished (4C).
• Disconnect the battery from the charger and disconnect the charger from the mains after the charging is completed.

After a charge time of approx. 90 minutes the multicopter can fly for approx. 7 minutes.

Warning notice: The battery does not normally heat up while charging. If it should become warm or even hot and/or changes to the surface begin to appear, immediately discontinue the charging process!

5 START PREPARATION

The thrust controller (left controller on the remote control) must point down before switching on (5A). Then set the ON/OFF switch (5B) on the remote control to the "ON" position and the Power LED begins to blink (5C). Connect the battery cable with the connecting cable (5D). Now the FEDs on the multicopter begin to blink. Place the multicopter on the ground so that the tail faces you and both propellers are towards the front. For the initialisation, the controller for thrust must be briefly moved all the way up and then back down again. The Power LED on the remote control now illuminates continuously.

Attention! Make sure that you place your multicopter on a level surface – the control electronics align their neutral position to the ground!

6 TRIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROL

The correct trim is a basic requirement for fault-free flying behaviour of the multicopter. Its adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please observe the following instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the multicopter approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.

6A If the multicopter automatically moves slowly or quickly to the left or right ... gradually turn the trim for sideways flight in the opposite direction.

6B If the multicopter automatically moves slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ...

gradually turn the trim for forwards and backwards flight in the opposite direction.

7 FLIGHT CONTROL

Note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying behaviour of the multicopter! The direction information applies if the multicopter is viewed from behind. If the multicopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved in the opposite direction.

7A Take off or increase altitude by carefully moving the control for thrust and rotation forward.
7B Move the thrust/rotation control back for landing or to fly lower.
7C Fly forward by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and banking carefully forward.
7D Fly backward by moving the controller for forward/backward flight as well as banking carefully backward.
7E Fly to the left by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and banking carefully to the left.
7F Fly to the right by moving the controller for forward/backward flight and banking carefully to the right.
7G Turn helicopter around to the left by moving the controller for thrust and rotation to the left.
7H Turn helicopter around to the right by moving the controller for thrust and rotation to the right.

Higher flight speed

Briefly press the button at the bottom right for greater flight speed (71). The remote control will beep twice in quick succession. Now the multicopter has a greater tilt, which enables higher flight speed. Please do not use this function until you have gained sufficient experience in the standard setting, because the multicopter is very sensitive, which makes a fine touch necessary when controlling it. Pressing it again re-activates slow speed

Fly loops - advanced users only! When you have sufficiently mastered your multicobter, you can try your hand at the stunt flying function. To do so, briefly press vertically on the right joystick on the remote control (7). Now the next control input forwards/backwards or sideways will turn into a loop. Make sure that you have sufficient room in each direction (at least 10 metres). Also observe the safety height fly at a height of at least 5m, as your multicobter loses height when rolling over and has to be caught and corrected afterwards!

Note: Looping is more successful when the battery capacity is near full.

Now climb to safety height. Press the control for forward and backwards flight and banking all the way forward and all the way back very quickly. The multicopter performs a forward looping manoeuvre - looping in other directions are performed corresponding to the movement of the controller. Be prepared to catch the multicopter, as the flying height, direction and speed after rolling over depend heavily on the wind and preceding flight movements.

8 CAMERA FUNCTION

A camera is attached under the copter. This is factory-fitted with a micro-SD memory card on which the videos and photos are stored.

8A The camera takes a photo if you quickly move the switch for the video/image function up and back to the centre position. If you push the switch down, the camera records a video until the switch returns to the centre position. The copter's flight speed is halved during video recording.
8B Use the enclosed USB cable to easily download the images to any PC. Connect the camera to a PC. After plugging in, the software installs itself automatically and after around 1-2 minutes the "AutoPlay" window usually opens. Click here on "Open folder to view files". Alternatively, you can also remove the micro-SD card and read directly in a card reader.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE FLYING

GENERAL FLYING TIPS:

• Always place the multicopter on a level surface. An inclined surface can, under certain circumstances, have a negative impact on the starting behaviour of the multicopter.

• Always operate the controls slowly and with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the multicopter and do not look at the remote control!
- Move the thrust control down again somewhat as soon as the multicopter lifts off from the ground. Maintain flying altitude by adjusting the thrust controller
- If the multicopter lowers, move the thrust control slightly upward again.
- If the multicopter climbs, move the thrust controller down slightly.

• To fly along a curve, tapping the directional controller very slightly in the respective direction often suffices. There is a general tendency during preliminary attempts at flight to operate the multicopter's controls too aggressively. Always operate the controls slowly and carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
- Beginners should first master trimming before attempting to master the thrust controller. The multicopter does not necessarily have to fly straight at the beginning - initially, it is more important to maintain a constant height of approximately one metre above the ground by repeatedly tapping the thrust control. Only then should the pilot practice steering the multicopter left and right.

BATTERY STATUS:

- If the multicopter begins to lose thrust or the LED on the underside begins to blink, the battery is depleted. Land in order to avoid crashing.

ATTENTION!

Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory liability insurance since 2005. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your new and earlier models are included in your insurance coverage. Request written confirmation and keep this in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMF offers a trial membership free of charge online at www.dmv.aero, which includes insurance.

9 CHANGING THE PROPELLERS

If the rotor blades of the multicopter are damaged, they must be replaced. Proceed as follows:

9A Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the propellers. The multicopter has 4 different propellers, which differ in colour and direction of rotation. If the propellers are mixed up, the multicopter will not fly. The two orange propellers are at the front.
9B Screw the locking screw of the propeller counter-clockwise from the propeller and carefully pull the defective propeller from the shaft.
9C Carefully fit the new propeller on the shaft and carefully screw the securing screw on again in a clockwise motion.
9D Figure 9D shows a top view of the multicopter. The propellers are marked with a small 1 or 2 on the underside in the centre. Please assemble as follows:

front left orange 2

front right orange 1

rear left black 1

rear right black 2

Flight direction

The front side of the multicopter is the side where the battery cable is soldered to the PCB.
