If you have successfully synced your Sky Force™ to your controller as explained on page 4 you are now ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how the controls work so please carefully read and familiarize yourself with various control features explain in the next two pages. Again as a beginner pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on a day with zero or very light wind. Do not try to fly your Sky Force™ too high before you become a more experienced pilot. FLIGHT PREPARATION RECOGNIZING THE FRONT & REAR OF THE SKY FORCE™ • Verify that there are 3 “AA” batteries installed the remote control unit and the Sky Force™ battery has been fully charged. • Make sure to be in a large open space preferably a field or a park with an open radius of at least 200 feet. • Make sure to start your drone on a clean flat level surface before take-off. • IMPORTANT! Until you have experience in flying your Sky Force™, it is not advised to use in any rate of wind. Wait for a zero wind day or extremely light wind when learning how to fly. Even though the Sky Force™ has four rotors there is still a front or "forward" facing direction and "rear" or backwards facing direction. The forward front and forward facing direction of the Sky Force™ is the side with two gray blades (see diagram G ). The rear and backward facing direction is the side with two black propellers (see diagram G). NOTE: The front of the Quadrocopter also displays WHITE LED light and the rear of the Quadrocopter displays RED LED lights. FRONT SYNCING YOUR SKY FORCE™ Power On/Off Back (Red LED Light) Infrared Receiver Battery Lock Front (White Light) Important! When syncing your Sky Force™ with the controller always make sure that the drone is on a flat level surface and your digital trim settings are in the center positions. This insures that the 6 Axis gyro is properly programmed to respond to your trim settings. Your Sky Force™ 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. 1. Before starting, make sure that the power switch is off both on your controller and the Sky Force™. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.
