lights will go steady.
NOTE:
1. While the drone is in process of synchronizing, the lights will flash
quickly. When the process is completed, the lights will go steady.
This is your indication that the process is completed.
2. If after 30 seconds, it has not recognized the drone, turn off the controller
and repeat Start-Up procedure.
3. If the Kaptur is unsteady in flight, it may not have been able to calibrate
properly. Power down both drone and remote and restart pre-flight
procedure, including re-calibration of the altitude sensor.
OPERATION: FLYING THE DRONE

SPEED MODES
The Kaptur features two speed modes. Choose the speed based on flight
experience and level of comfort. At high speed the drone will pitch more than
at low speed. Kaptur is quite fast at its high speed and requires more piloting
skills to fly competently. For safety take time to develop advanced skills by
practicing at low speed first. The drone is preset to low speed. Press the
direction stick in to change the speed mode. The remote will beep once for
low speed and twice for high speed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
RE-CALIBRATING THE DRONE
If the drone crashes and after re-starting and trimming, it still is unstable, you have
the option to re-calibrate the drone.
1. Turn on the drone and then the remote and sync.
2. Push and hold the both the throttle and direction stick to the lower right
corners for 2-3 seconds.
3. The lights will flash to indicate that the drone has re-calibrated.
*Allow 15 minutes to pass between full flights as this will give the motors a chance
to cool down. Failure to do so could wear out and shorten the life of the motors.
SYMPTOM
Kaptur
does not
respond
POSSIBLE CAUSE
POTENTIAL SOLUTION
1. Communication between
controller and aircraft was not
synchronized during set up
1. To synchronize, turn on aircraft
first, place it on level ground, and
then turn on controller.
2. Battery power depleted on
aircraft, controller or both.
2. Charge aircraft and/or replace
batteries in controller.
Response to
control inputs
intermittent or
erratic
1. Controller battery power
nearly depleted.
1. Replace batteries in controller.
Kaptur will not
hover or strafe
correctly
1. The aircraft was not
on level ground during
synchronization.
1. Re-synchronize aircraft
and controller.
2. Trim settings are incorrect.
2. Recalibrate the Altitude Sensor.
HOW TO CHANGE THE BLADES
All drones have two rotors that spin clockwise
and two rotors that spin counter-clockwise.
Make sure to place the blades on the correct axis or
they will not spin correctly and the drone will not lift.
Each blade is marked on its top with A or B. There
may be a number after the letter but you can ignore
the number.
Make sure to follow the graphic below to see
where to place the blades.

FLYING OUTDOORS
HOW TO PREVENT FLY AWAYS
To prevent “fly-away” situations (where drones seem to fly away out of
control) it is important to first test and practice within close range before
letting the drone fly too far away.
Each drone is designed to turn off the engines if the radio signal is lost.
It is important to know and test the range of your drone before flying. We
recommend turning on and syncing the drone and walking away while
testing the engines. Keep walking and testing until it is obvious when you
reach the point where the signal is not controlling the drone. This will be
the control limit for the conditions in which you are flying. Distance does
vary somewhat based on environmental and weather conditions, so testing
the limit is advised. Fly in a range that is good for easy visual operation of
the drone.
IF YOU CAN’T SEE YOUR DRONE, THEN YOU CAN’T CONTROL
YOUR DRONE.
* Fly-aways are not covered by warranty as they are overwhelmingly caused
by pilot error.
