Frequently Asked Questions - Alpha Drone Kaiser Baas

How do I charge the drone battery?

Connect the battery to the included USB charger. Plug the charger into a powered USB port (wall adapter not included). The red light on the charger will turn off during charging and back on when fully charged. Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.

Why are the LED lights on the drone flashing?

Flashing LED lights on the drone indicate either the remote control has not connected, the battery is low, or the left stick is not in its lowest position. Ensure the left stick is down, and check battery levels. If the issue persists, turn both devices off and on again.

How do I pair the remote control with the drone?

Turn on the remote control with the left stick in the down position, then turn on the drone. The lights should become constant. If not, ensure the left stick is fully down and wait a few seconds. If flashing persists, try turning both off and on again.

How can I perform a 360° flip?

Press the Flip button to perform a forward flip. For flips in all directions, toggle through the High/Low settings until you reach 100% responsiveness (4 beeps). Then push the right stick to the extreme in any direction to flip. Ensure the drone is at least 5 meters above ground.

Why is my drone drifting during hover?

Use the fine-tuning buttons on the transmitter to counter drift. The calibration is displayed on the screen. You can also hold the Reset button for 5 seconds to reset all trimming. Note that low battery can cause instability.

How do I adjust the sensitivity of the controls?

Press the High/Low button on the transmitter to cycle through four sensitivity levels: 25% (low, for beginners), 50% (medium), 75% (high), and 100% (maximum, enables 360° flips). The transmitter will beep accordingly.

What type of SD card is recommended for filming?

Use a class 10 SDHC micro SD card with a capacity of 32 GB or smaller. Lower class cards may cause jumpy or grainy footage.

How do I replace a rotor blade?

Only replace one blade at a time. Gently hold the motor cog, remove the lock screw with the included screwdriver, slide off the old blade, align the new blade (marked A or B correctly), and replace the screw without overtightening.

One of the motors is not spinning. What should I do?

Check that the white cogs under the motor housing are connected and moving. Gently press the small cog attached to the motor to ensure proper alignment.

Can I fly the drone near airports?

No. You must stay at least 5.5 km away from any airfield. Always follow local aviation authority regulations. Do not fly within 30 meters of boats, buildings, people, or animals.

Left/Right Pitch (Tilt)

Note: Yaw and Pitch can be swapped using the Mode switch. Now Yaw and Pitch are controlled by the opposite thumb stick.

Indicators

There are LED lights on the underside of the Alpha Drone that indicate when the Alpha Drone is operational (constant) or when the Alpha Drone is running low on battery (flashing). It is important to pay attention to the indicators to avoid an uncontrolled landing, potentially putting your drone and its surrounds at risk.

Modes

The Mode switch swaps the Yaw and Pitch controllability on the thumb sticks.

High/Low

There are four sensitivity levels for the Alpha Drone that can be cycled through by using the High/Low button on the Transmitter.

These sensitivity levels increase and decrease the overall responsiveness of the thumb sticks on the Transmitter.

The Alpha Drone will start up in the lowest sensitive level 25% responsiveness (advised level for learners). Pressing the High/Low button once will enter the medium sensitivity level 50% responsiveness. The Transmitter will beep twice and indicate the sensitivity on the Motor Power indicator. Pressing the High/Low button again the Transmitter will beep three times and show the high responsiveness setting of 75% on the Motor Power indicator.

Pressing the High/Low button a third time will assign the highest sensitivity level which will be indicated by four beeps and the Motor Power indicator displaying 100% responsiveness. The 100% Motor Power mode is for advanced pilots. This mode also enables 360° flips. Please refer to the 360° Flips section for further information.

Pressing the High/Low button again will return the sensitivity level to the lowest setting.

Trimming (fine tuning)

Control of the Alpha Drone can be trimmed using the fine-tuning buttons on the Transmitter. If the Alpha Drone is drifting off during a hover or other flight manoeuvre, these buttons are used to counter this drift. The calibration is displayed on the display screen of the transmitter. You will see the trimming levels displayed in the fine-tuning bars on the display which will show in which direction the drone controls have been trimmed. To reset all trimming and calibration, hold the Reset button for five seconds.

360°Flip

To perform a forward flip press the creatively named Flip button! The drone will launch forward and descend during the flip so make sure that the drone is at an adequate height before performing this manoeuvre.

Advanced Flip Mode

The Drone also features an advanced flip mode that will enable it to flip in all directions.

To use this feature please toggle the through the High/Low settings until you reach 100%; the Transmitter will emit 4 consecutive beeps.

The drone will emit a beeping sound while the throttle has power. This indicates that whilst in this mode the right stick will let you flip the drone in any direction.

The right control stick when pushed to its extreme in any direction will flip the drone. Please note the sensitivity is increased and this mode is for advanced pilots.

Ensure you have given the drone at least 5 metres of clearance.

To return back to normal flight mode, press the High/Low button toggle.
