Important! When syncing your ZIP™ quadrocopter with the controller always make sure that the
quadrocopter is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position.
This ensures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to mimic your trim settings.
Your ZIP™ utilizes an automatic 2.4G channel selection system that allows up to 8 people to fly side by side
in the same wireless range with no interference.
For One-Person Play:
1. Before starting, make sure that the power on both your controller and ZIP™ are in the OFF
position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area as well.
2. Turn ON the ZIP™ and set it down on a flat surface. The LED indicator lights of the ZIP™
should begin to flash rapidly.
3. Turn ON the remote, you will hear two beeps. The ZIP’s LED lights should now flash slowly.
Push the throttle on the left all the way forward(1 beep) and then pull the throttle all the way back.
A 2nd beep will sound and the lights should turn to solid. This indicates your controller and the
quadrocopter are successfully synced. If not, repeat above steps.
For Multi Person Play:
4. Before starting, make sure that the power on all ZIP™ drones and Controllers are in the OFF
position. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.
5. Each person will have to sync their ZIP™ individually at a different time to avoid interference.
Follow steps 1 to 3 above making sure that no one else is syncing at the same time.
6. After syncing a player’s ZIP™, it should be left ON until all players have synced their ZIP™
quadrocopters.
7. Should there be a mistake or interference, all players must turn off their controllers and ZIP™
quadrocopters for up to 60 seconds and then begin the process again.
PREPARING FOR FLIGHT
• Verify that there are 2 “AA” batteries inside the remote control unit and the ZIP™ has been
fully charged.
• Make sure your ZIP™ and controller are both turned on.
• Make sure to be in a large space with an open radius of at least 50 feet.
• Make sure the empty space has no obstacles and water close by. Set your ZIP™ on a clean flat
surface before take-off.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR ZIP™ IF THERE IS RAIN, SNOW, HEAVY WINDS, THUNDER OR LIGHTNING
OUTDOORS. IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR PRODUCT AND POSSIBLY EVEN CAUSE BODILY HARM.

BASIC FLIGHT CONTROLS
Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote control ZIP™. While learning to fly your
ZIP™ it is best to start in a large space until you get used to the basic controls. As you master flying your
ZIP™ you can move to more advanced maneuvering techniques. Practice makes perfect! When you have
these basic steps down you can move to the next level.
Move the left Throttle stick upwards to increase
the speed of the propellers and the ZIP™ will
accelerate upwards and ascend.
Move the left Throttle stick down to decrease
the speed and the ZIP™ will decelerate and
descend (see diagram F).
Right/Left Trim
• If your ZIP™ is drifting left or right, you may need to adjust the LEFT/RIGHT TRIM button
(see diagram K).
• If your ZIP™ drifts left, push and release the RIGHT TRIM button repeatedly until the motion
stops and proper flight is maintained.
• If your ZIP™ drifts right, push and release the LEFT TRIM button in the same manner until the
problem is resolved.
• From time to time you may have to adjust the LEFT or RIGHT TRIM buttons to ensure the
ZIP™ will hover in mid-air and respond accurately to your commands.
While in the air, move the left Throttle stick left
and the ZIP™ will rotate left.
Move the left Throttle stick right and the
ZIP™ will rotate right (see diagram G).
LEVEL SURFACE GYRO CALIBRATION
While in the air, move the right Direction Stick
up and the ZIP™ will move forward.
Move the right Direction Stick down and the ZIP
™ will move backward (see diagram H).
While in the air, move the right Direction Stick
left and the ZIP™ will bank to the left.
Move the right Direction Stick right and the ZIP
™ will bank to the right (see diagram I).
If the aircraft becomes unstable during the course of flying, or after a
crash, you may need to recalibrate the onboard gyro chip.
To do so, place the ZIP™ on a flat level surface. Start by syncing the
controller with the quadrocopter. Next, pull both of the control sticks
on the remote down and to the left (approximately 45º) at the same
time. The LEDs on the ZIP™ will flash quickly and then remain solid.
This indicates your aircraft has been stabilized (see diagram L).
LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the power indicator LED on the remote lights up it means you are running at low voltage and need to
land the aircraft slowly and replace the batteries in the controller.
If the LED lights on the quadrocopter begin flashing it means you are running at low voltage and you need
to land the aircraft slowly and recharge the quadrocopter unit.
WARNING: Do not attempt a 360º flip when you are given a low voltage warning
