GENERAL FLYING TIPS:
• Always place the quadroplane on a level
surface. An inclined surface can, under
certain circumstances, have a negative
impact on the starting behaviour of the
quadroplane.
• Always operate the controls slowly and
with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
quadroplane and do not look at the
remote control!
• Move the thrust controller somewhat
down again once the quadroplane has
lifted off from the ground. Maintain flying
altitude by adjusting the thrust controller.
• If the quadroplane descends, move the
thrust controller slightly upward again.
• If the quadroplane climbs, move the thrust
controller down slightly.
SUITABLE FLYING ENVIRONMENT:
The location in which the quadroplane is flown should fulfil the following criteria:
• It should be an indoor location without any wind. Insofar as possible, there should be
no air conditioning systems, heaters, etc. that can cause air currents.
• The room should be at least 10 metres long, six metres wide and three metres high.
For stunt flying, we recommend flying outdoors or in a large hall with at least 10 m
in each direction.
• No disruptive objects, such as fans, lamps, etc. should be present in the room.
• When initialising take-off, make absolutely sure that all persons and animals –
including the pilot – are at least 1-2 metres removed from the aircraft before flight
begins.
WARNING!
Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory liability
insurance since 2005. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your
new and earlier models are included in your insurance coverage. Request written
confirmation and keep this in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial
membership free of charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.

• To fly along a curve, tapping the
directional controller very slightly in the
respective direction often suffices. There
is a general tendency during preliminary
attempts at flight to operate the
quadroplane's controls too aggressively.
Always operate the controls slowly and
carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming
before attempting to master the thrust
controller. The quadroplane does not
necessarily have to fly straight at the
beginning - initially, it is more important
to maintain a constant height of
approximately one metre above the
ground by repeatedly tapping the thrust
control. Only then should the pilot
practice steering the quadroplane left
and right.

8 ChangIng The propellers
If the rotor blades of the quadroplane are damaged and you must replace them,
proceed as follows:
8A Prior to installation, make sure that you do not mix up the rotor blades.
The quadroplane has two different propellers, which are differentiated by markings:
• Front: Marking A
• Left: Marking B
8B You can carefully pull the propeller off the shaft.
8C Please remove the broken propeller completely from the shaft.
8D Now place the new propeller on the shaft (pay attention to the marking
on the propeller!)

Problem: The propellers do not move.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The battery is too weak or depleted.
Remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Charge the battery.
Problem: The quadroplane stops and descends during flight for no apparent
reason.
Cause: • The battery is too weak.
Remedy: • Charge the battery.
Problem: It isn't possible to control the quadroplane using the remote
control.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The batteries were not inserted correctly.
• The batteries do not have enough power.
• Check the indicator at the top right of the display.
Remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Check whether the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Insert new batteries
Problem: The quadroplane only turns on its vertical axis or rolls over when
started
Cause: • Incorrect arrangement of the propellers or arms
Remedy: • Install the propellers and arms as outlined in the manual
