The red LEDs indicate the back.
Takeo

Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and

concentrate on balancing the throttle stick’ s position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude. In

some cases, you may need to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just a few inches until you become

familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
Hovering

The Inductrix quadcopter requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover . Remem-

ber to keep these throttle adjustments as minimal as possible. Large adjustments could result in a loss of control or a possible crash.

While attempting to establish a low-level hover , check to see if any trim adjustments are required to

help keep the quadcopter from constantly drifting in various directions. If you fi nd that it constantly drifts

without any directional control input, land the model before making any adjustments to the trim settings.

• If the nose of the quadcopter rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim. • If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim. • If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim. Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little

drifting and directional control input. If this is your fi rst multicopter or helicopter , seek the help of an

experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your fi rst fl ight. With your quadcopter properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover , practice using the

rudder , elevator and aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the machine’ s responses to control

inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible. Average fl ight times are approximately 4 minutes. NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty . T o prevent excessive wear to the motors, always allow the motors to cool between fl ights.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

Video Monitor (RTF)

FPV Camera and Video Transmitter

Once the battery reaches 3V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent over -discharge of the Li-Po battery . Land imme-

diately once the ESC activates L VC. Continuing to fl y after L VC can damage the battery , cause a crash

or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over -discharge are not covered under warranty . Repeatedly fl ying the aircraft until L VC activates will damage the fl ight battery . Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. Flight Mode

Rate Selection – RTF

The Inductrix RTF quadcopter comes with the Blade MLP4DSM transmitter . • When powered on, this transmitter is automatically high rate. • Change rates by pressing and releasing the right control stick. • In low-rate mode, the quadcopter is limited to a lower bank angle and will self-level when the control sticks are released. This mode is typically preferred by pilots looking for smoother/ easier control response during fi rst time use. • In high-rate mode, the quadcopter has a higer possible bank angle and will self-level when the control sticks are released.

Flight Mode Selection

Cycle between the fl ight modes by pressing and releasing the left stick of the MLP4DSM or by pressing and

releasing the momentary switch on your computer transmitter as programmed in the binding section above.

• S tability mode (blue LED): the bank angle is limited. When the sticks are released, the quadcop- ter will return to level fl ight.

• A gility mode (red LED): the quadcopter has no bank angle limits and will not return to level fi ght if

the sticks are released. Use rates and expo to tune the performance according to your fl ying style. NOTICE: Do not attempt to change fl ight modes while fl ying with the MLP4DSM transmitter . Attempting to do so will cause the transmitter to register a faulty center position. Always land the quadcopter and release the sticks before changing fl ight modes. Dual rate selection

Connect the micro USB connector to a 5V USB power source. The charge indicator LED will glow red while charging and green when the monitor is fully charged. 2 . Attach the included antenna to the antenna connector located on the top of the monitor . CAUTION: Do not power the monitor on without the antenna attached. Doing so will damage the video transmitter and receiver amplifi ers. Amplifi er damage is not covered by warranty . 5.8GHz Antenna connector Menu Button: Use the + and – buttons to modify: Channel Selection Button Single push to change channel Frequency Band Button Single push to change band Brightness Mode (16:9, 4:3) 1 . Power on your radio transmitter , then power on the aircraft. 2 . Power on the video receiver to make sure the channel is clear . 3 . Select the desired video transmitter channel by pressing the button on the quadcopter as shown to scroll through the available bands (Fat Shark/IRC or Race) and channels (1-8). Fatshark channel 1 is indicated by a red internal LED on the quadcopter . Keep pressing and releasing the button to scroll through the remaining channels. 4 . Perform a range test before fl ying. If you experience static in the video feed, select a different channel. NOTICE: The 25mW micro video transmitter range on your quadcopter is less than your fl ight control transmitter range. Ensure you have adequate video camera range for fi lming.

Tip: If you are fl ying with an FPV headset and are prone to motion sickness, sit in a chair . If you start to

suffer from motion sickness while fl ying, lower your chin against your chest. Fly in open areas, away from people, trees, cars, and buildings. The range of the system can be impacted by any obstructions blocking your signal. It is normal to see break up in the video going behind trees and other obstacles.
