FLYING YOUR 1Si QUADCOPTER
FLYING YOUR 1Si QUADCOPTER
Electric motors are very dangerous. Do not work on the model
while the flight battery is plugged in as interference may cause
the main rotor blades to spin, possibly causing injury.
Turn on the transmitter and lay it down
so the antenna is pointed at the LED
on the back of the 1Si as shown in the
photo. Connect the flight battery to
the quadcopter. Do not move the 1Si
or the transmitter until the LED stops
flashing and is steady. This procedure
will help the 1Si to maintain the correct
orientation while in flight or returning
to home position.
NOTE: The 1Si will be “ON” at this point. Your quadcopter has a safe start
feature built in that prevents the motor from activating unless the throttle
stick has been lowered to the lowest position. If the motors won’t run,
please make sure the throttle stick is all the way down and the throttle
trim is at or below center. Wait a couple of seconds and try advancing the
throttle again.
Takeoff
Advance the throttle until the model is at least a foot off the ground and out
of ground effect. If flying outdoors it’s important to stick to light winds. If you
plan to take off and land in grass, place a rubber mat or pad down on the
grass so the small rotating parts don’t get hung up in the grass.
