IMPORTANT! Until you have experience in flying your X18, it is not advised to use in any rate of wind.
Pick a day with zero wind day or extremely light wind condition when learning how to fly.
SYNCING YOUR X18
Important! When syncing your X18 with the controller always make sure that the drone is on a flat
level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position. This insures that the 6 Axis
gyro is properly programmed to respond to your trim settings. Your X18 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 on your controller is off and the battery is removed
from the X18. Make sure that there are no other 2.4G devices in the area.
2. Insert the battery into the X18 and set it down on a flat level surface. The red and green LED lights on the
drone should begin to flash rapidly.
3. Quickly turn ON the remote and you will notice that the top red LED light on the face of the controller
should also be flashing.
4. Push the throttle stick all the way up until it stops and then pull it back all the way down to the
bottom(see diagram below). When pushing the stick up or pulling the stick down you should hear a
high-pitched beep both ways and the indicating lights on the drone and contoller will stop flash and stay
solid on.
You have successfully synced your X18 and are ready to fly. If this doesn’t happen repeat steps 1-4
again.
s
TIP 1: Try not to leave too much time between putting your battery into the drone
and turning on the controller or your syncing window will time-out.

NOW YOU ARE READY TO FLY!
If you have successfully synced your X18 to your controller as explained on page 4 then you are now ready
to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how to start and stop the
rotors, how to use your auto land feature and how the controls work so please carefully read and
familiarize yourself with various control features explained in the next few pages. Once 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 X18 too high until you become a more experience pilot.
3 CHANNEL VS 4 CHANNEL FLYING
Propels unique “switch-blade” technology allows you to choose between 3ch or 4ch flight control modes.
Most people with no experience in flying multi copters may find 3ch easier to learn at first as controls are
set up to simply move forward, back, turn left and turn right. 4channel flying gives the operator ultimate
control by adding two more dimensions of flight, banking left and banking right.
To change to 3 Channel mode:

To change to 4 Channel mode:

4 “beeps” indicating the X18 now is set to 4 CH mode.
Even though the X18 has four rotors there is still a front or "forward"
facing direction and "rear" or backwards facing direction. The front
and forward facing direction of the X18 is the side with grey
propellers
(see diagram E ). The rear and backward facing direction of
the Quadrocopter is the side with black propellers (see diagram E).
NOTE: The front of the Quadrocopter also displays running Green LED
light and the back of the Quadrocopter displays running RED LED lights.

SPEED SELECT BUTTON
The X18 has 3 speed settings; 1 (SLOW), 2 (MEDIUM) and 3 (HIGH). The Default setting when you first turn
on your X18 is the 1 (SLOW) speed mode. To increase the speed simply trigger the speed setting button (see
remote diagram on pg 3) you will hear a beep and the speed setting indicator on the face of the controller
will show you what speed setting you are on. Speed settings can be set before flight or during the flight.

3 CHANNEL FLIGHT CONTROL
Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote to control the X18. While learning to fly
your X18 it is best to start in a large space with the drone facing away from you until you get used to the
basic controls. As you master flying your X18 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 up to increase the
propeller speed and the X18 will accelerate and
ascend.
Move the left Throttle stick down to decrease the
propeller speed and the X18 will decelerate and
descend (see diagram F).
While in the air, move the right Direction Stick up
and the X18 will move forward.
Move the right Direction Control down and the
X18 will move backward (see diagram G).
While in the air, move the right Direction Control left
and the X18 will spin to the left.
Move the right Direction Control right and the X18
will spin to the right (see diagram H).
UNDERSTANDING THE ALTITUDE LOCK SENSOR
The X18 has a unique Altitude Lock function, air pressure sensor that allows for easier flight control and
stability. A beginner’s friend, it allows the user to ease into piloting the copter. The sensor locks in the altitude
of the copter while allowing the user to adjust the directional controls without having to hold the throttle.
After starting the copter, fly it upwards to a safe height. Once at a safe height, release the throttle to the
neutral position. Now your X18 should be locked in the altitude and you can focus on getting used to the
directional controls of the X18. The copter will always tend to self correct and go back to the last locked
height after moved up or down by outside forces.
Note: The altitude sensor does have some tolerance based on atmospheric conditions and could have a
slight variation in altitude.

ADJUSTING THE TRIM
NOTE: The X18 is already properly trimmed and calibrated right out of the box and should not require any
trim adjustments before flying. Some more experienced pilots may want to adjust trim settings for their
style of flying. After several crashes you may need to adjust trim settings for the X18 to be more balanced.
NOTE: The use of the Trim buttons utilizes sounds. A single long Beep indicates the product is
center trimmed. Long beeping when press the trim button indicates the product is trimmed to
the maximum on a particular side.

HOW TO PERFORM 360º STUNT ROLLS
Performing 360º stunt rolls with the X18 is as easy as 1-2-3:
1. Hover the X18 in still position making sure that you have at least 5 feet of clearance above and below
the quadrocopter, then set the speed settings to mode 2 or 3.
2. Press the 360 stunt button down and you will enter the stunt roll mode which is indicated by rapid
beeping (see diagram S) sounds.
3. Determine which direction you want it to flip and quickly push the right control stick in the direction
you want to flip your X18 (see diagram T).
You have 4 choices a) Forward roll, b) Backwards roll, c) Right side roll, d) Left side roll.
CALIBRATING THE X18
NOTE: Your X18 comes pre-calibrated out of the box so you are ready to fly.
After several crashes and shocks to your gyro sensors, you may notice that your drone is drifting and can
not hold its center position as well as it used to.
This most likely means that you need to recalibrate your X18. Please follow the simple instructions
below.
1. Place the X18 on a flat level surface
2. Make sure the X18 is on and that the controller is synced (refer to syncing pg 4). Do not start the blades!
Move both the throttle and control stick down to the right corners (see diagram R). You will hear a long
beep and see the lights on the drone rapidly flash for a few seconds then stop. Once the lights stop
flashing you have completed your calibration and are ready to fly!
TROUBLE SHOOTING: If you do not see the lights flash, first remove the battery from the drone then turn off
your controller and start again. Always make sure to put your battery in first, then turn on your controller.
Push the left throttle stick up all the way and then pull back down again. When you hear the beep the
X18 is
synced to the controller and you are ready to calibrate.

Your X18 comes equipped with an onboard digital camera that takes both video and still photographs. You
can have hours of fun creating aerial photography and videos for family and friends.
X18 WARNING:
The X18 is designed for OUTDOOR use. The X18’s blades revolve at high speeds and can cause damage to
the user, spectators and animals. Stand away from the X18 to reduce the risk of getting into the flight
path. Warn spectators that you will be flying your X18 so that they are aware of its position. Before flight,
inspect the rotor blades to make certain that the blades are securely fastened to the X18.
