1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for buying HUBSAN products. The quadcopter is designed as an easy to use, full
featured RC model capable of hovering, fast forward, and aerobatic ight manoeuvres.
Please read the manual carefully and follow all instructions in this. Be sure to retain the
manual for future reference, routine maintenance, and tuning.
1.1 Important Notes
This RC quadcopter is not a toy, it utilizes various high-techs to provide superior
performance.
Please read this manual carefully before operating this product. Any improper use of this
product will result in serious injury. Be aware of your personal safety, safety of others and
your surrounding environment.
We recommend that you obtain the assistance of an experienced pilot before attempting
to y our product for the rst time.
2.1 Caution
R/C quadcopter have parts that move at high speed, thus posing a certain degree of
danger. Pilots are responsible for any actions resulting in damage or injury from the
improper operation of their R/C aircraft models.
Choose a wide open space without obstacles. Do not operate R/C aircraft near buildings,
crowds of people, high voltage cables, or trees to ensure the safety of yourself, others
and your model.
Operate this unit within your ability. Do not y when tired or after drinking or when
impaired by medication. Improper operation may cause damage to people and property.
2.2 LiPo Battery Recharging
Your quadcopter is powered by a Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) battery.
Never recharge your battery whilst it is inserted in your model. It can catch re leading to
the total destruction of the item.
If you do not plan to y your model for a week or more, store the battery approximately
50% charged to maintain battery performance and life. To achieve a 50% charge, y the
model until the battery requires recharging. Charge the battery for half the time typically
required to fully charge the battery.
2 SAFETY NOTES
Charge and store LiPo batteries in a location where a battery re or explosion
(including smoke hazard) will not endanger life or property.
Keep LiPo batteries away from children and animals.
Consider how you would deal with a LiPo battery re/explosion as part of your
normal home Fire Safety & Evacuation Planning.
Never charge the LiPo battery that has ballooned or swelled due to
over-/under-charging or from a crash.
Never charge the LiPo battery that has been punctured or damaged in a crash
(After a crash, inspect the battery pack for the sign of damage. Discard in
accordance with your country’s recycling laws.).
Never charge the LiPo battery in a moving vehicle.
Never over charge the LiPo battery.
Never leave the LiPo battery unattended during recharging.
Do not charge LiPo batteries near ammable materials or liquids.
Ensure that charging leads are connected correctly. Reverse polarity charging can
lead to battery damage or a re or explosion.
Have a suitable re extinguisher(electrical type) OR a large bucket of dry sand near
the charging area . Do not try to extinguish electrical (LiPo) battery res with water.
Reduce risks from re/explosion by storing and charging LiPo batteries inside a
suitable container: a LiPo Sack or metal/ceramic container is advised.
Monitor recharging LiPo batteries for signs of overheating.
Protect your LiPo battery from accidental damage during storage and
transportation. (Do not put battery packs in pockets or bags where they can short
circuit or can come into contact with sharp or metallic objects.).
If your LiPo battery is subjected to a shock (such as a helicopter crash) you should
place it in a metal container and observe for signs of swelling or heating for at least
30 minutes.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify or repair the LiPo battery.
LiPo batteries are dier from conventional batteries in that their chemical contents are
encased in a relatively insubstantial foil packaging. This has the advantage of
signicantly reducing their weight, but does make them more susceptible to damage if
roughly or inappropriately handled. As with all batteries, there is a risk of re or
explosion if safety practices are ignored:

First Pilot View(FPV) Instructions:
For those just starting FPV with the Hubsan H107D please start S-L-O-W-L-Y and use the
following guidance:
1. Learn how to y the X4 and maintain control both indoors and outdoors at an altitude
no higher than 10 feet before you advance to FPV ight and higher altitudes. A large
part of being successful in FPV is training your ngers and brain to know how the model
will respond with your inputs so you can predetermine your stick movements. It is very
dierent to look at an LCD or goggles and determine hover, altitude and speed. You will
need to visually correlate and remember how the model reacts with stick movements
and also the dierences of those movements when in no wind and windy conditions.
Aileron (Cyclic Roll) moves your quadcopter ‘sideways’ Left/Right
7.2 Transmitter sticks and X4 control responses
CAUTION: To avoid loss of control: ALWAYS move the TX sticks S-L-O-W-L-Y! Be aware
that control inputs will reduce available lift . Be ready to use a little extra throttle to
maintain height during maneuvers.
Throttle (Collective Power) increases/decreases the altitude of your quadcopter
Rudder (Collective Torque Yaw) rotates your quadcopter’s fuselage Left / Right

2. When ying indoors or outdoors allow for plenty of free space with no couches, tables,
trees buildings or other objects that you might y into. A large area with soft grass is a
perfect outdoor area to learn to y. An asphalt parking lot is a terrible place to learn to y.
It is recommended that you use a safety spotter for your FPV ights!
3. First learn to master hovering, then master ying a square or rectangular pattern by
recognizing features that are picked out before you begin your FPV ight.
4. The X4 prop guard is excellent to use indoors if required for your personal skill level, but
using outside is optional and less desirable in many cases. Most iers will want to remove it
in order to gain some ight performance. The reason is that any wind when using the prop
guard will make it more dicult to y especially during FPV. Despite the safety feature and
protection when using some kind of prop guard, all multi-copters lose ight performance
when prop guards are used and will perform much better without them. You should also
adjust your rates a bit higher for outdoor ight to something like 70 for pitch and roll. The
X4 default expert rate settings will be too high for most new iers and even skilled iers for
FPV. So as a suggestion for practice just increase the beginner values to about 70 when
you are ready for outdoor FPV ying.
