Moving the control stick a small amount will result in a slow response. Moving the stick a large amount will result in a fast response. Video frequencies for this product operate on 5.8GHz bands. The available connect the battery to the white connector. A red LED indicates the charger has power. During charging, the green LED flashes; once charging is complete, it frequencies are divided up into 2 bands with 8 channels on each.

Install a fully charged battery on the quadcopter, and connect it. • PRO TIP: In the event of a crash, stop (disarm) the motors with the switch on the radio to minimize the chance of additional damage to the quadcopter or curious fingers. Always stop the motors before picking up the quadcopter and 4. Find a comfortable position in which to fly. 5. With the goggles on, arm the motors with the top right switch on the radio. 6. Explore pitch, roll and yaw controls at low throttle settings before flying aggressively. 7. Always disarm the quad and unplug the battery when the flight is complete PRO TIP: After spending some time on the simulator, take the first few flights approximately 100 feet (30meters) away from the operator. The range is heavily dependent on direct line of sight operation and the environment. An open environment is the ideal setting. Indoor in metal or reinforced concrete buildings can be challenging environments. The video system will begin to lose signal before the control signal is lost, so the quality of the video reception naturally limits range. WARNING: Do not climb beyond reasonable low altitudes, or try to push the range to see how far the quadcopter will fly. Pushing the limits before learning the basics can quickly lead to the aircraft getting lost or stuck in a tree. The kit is intended for close range, low-level racing and was not designed to climb high or travel great distances from the user.
