Charging the Battery Information & Procedure The craft’s battery must be charged before it can be flown. Before charging, be sure the craft and remote control are powered OFF to avoid risk of injury or damage. It is recommended to remove the battery from the craft when charging. Charging time is approximately 60 minutes. Charge fully before use for best performance.
Flying Remote Link & Calibration Before flying, the craft and the remote must be linked together and the gyroscopes on the craft must be allowed to calibrate. Begin with the battery installed, the battery compartment closed, and the craft and remote powered OFF. Step 1 Power ON the craft and place it on a flat surface. This is necessary for the craft’s gyroscopes to properly align. The lights on the craft will blink as it searches for a signal from the remote.
Flying Flight Controls altitude yaw roll yaw pitch pitch altitude Left Stick controls Altitude (power) and Yaw (spin). roll Right Stick controls Pitch (forward/backward) and Roll (left/right). ON OFF RESET HEADLESS TRIM When You’re Finished Flying After landing, keep the Left Control Stick (throttle) in the lowest position and wait for the rotors to stop spinning. Power OFF the remote BEFORE powering OFF the craft.
Trim Adjustment & Countering Drift Even after a craft is calibrated, it may still drift while airborne. To counter this effect you can adjust the trim for better control. However, adjusting the trim may not entirely eliminate drifting. Air currents and other factors can still affect the craft’s handling in the air. Making Trim Adjustments Press and hold the Trim button to enter Trimming Mode, indicated by an audible chime from the remote.
Flying Gyroscope Recalibration Remote Trim Reset If the craft is experiencing difficulty flying or is behaving erratically, it’s gyroscopes may need to be recalibrated. Do not attempt to do this while flying, safely land the craft first and place it on a flat surface. The craft and the remote should already be linked together. If you are still having difficulty flying, it may help to reset the trim controls on the remote. Do not attempt to do this while flying, safely land the craft first.
Tips for Safe Operation ű It is recommended to only fly in large, open spaces that are free of obstacles like power lines, trees, ceiling fans, etc. ű When flying indoors avoid walls and ceilings, as the craft will be drawn towards them if closer than 2-3 feet. ű Stand behind the craft when first taking off, so that you and the craft are facing the same “forward” direction. This will help with orientation when the craft is airborne.
Flying Flips Before attempting a flip, be sure that there is ample clear space around the craft, ideally 9-10 ft. in all directions. It is not recommended to attempt to flip around or through any obstacles, as this may result in unintended damage. Press the Flip button to activate Flip Mode, then move the Right Control Stick in any direction and the craft will perform a flip in the same direction. Press the Flip button again to deactivate without performing a flip.
Sky Rider View App The Sky Rider View app will display the image from the craft’s camera on your smartphone’s screen, allowing you to capture images and video of your flights. Connect your smartphone to the craft’s WiFi signal and start flying!
