Flight Mode
Transmitter keeps beeping “D.B.D.B”LED slow flashing.
When aircraft voltage is less than 3.3V, you will feel the plane is losing powered. You can still fly for another 2 minutes, which will give you the time to land the plane.
1 beep means Beginner Mode (Low rate). 2 beeps means Expert Mode (High rate).
1 beep means 6G Mode. 2 beeps means 3D Mode. 3 beeps means Manual Mode. When you power on the radio, it is in 6G Mode as a default setting.
Flying Tips
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. The built-in Flight Controller System is designed as flight assistance, NOT AN AUTOPILOT. Start in Beginner mode. As you learn and become more confident, change modes to advance your flying skills. Always make deliberate and steady control stick movements for smooth control of your aircraft. Fly your aircraft outside in no greater than light winds. Indoor flight is not recommended. Keep your aircraft in plain sight and up wind. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires, and buildings. Always avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schools or playing fields.

Binding Procedure
Power on the plane, the LED in the Control board will flash, then power on the transmitter, if the LED in the Control board change to solid, means the binding was finished. If the LED in the Control board is still flashing, means the binding failed, please do the above mentioned procedure again. Note: if the throttle stick is not in the lowest position (0 position) when you are binding, you have to move the throttle stick back to lowest position then move it to the top, and then back to the bottom, and then the throttle will be enabled.

Flying
In 6G mode, when properly trimmed, your aircraft will climb at full throttle without use of the elevator stick. Try to fly the first few times for about 6 minutes to know more about the flying capability. If the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery. Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do when learning to fly. To practice piloting the aircraft, try flying in large circles high off the ground.
Landing
Fly to your runway, keeping the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level. Bring the aircraft down by lowering the throttle to 25%. Near the ground, fully lower the throttle and pull back on the steering stick. CAUTION: Never catch a flying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.
Wind(0-8km/h)
After Flying
1. Lower the throttle stick completely and do not move the steering stick. Wait at least 5 seconds. 2. Disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft. Keep hands away from the propeller. 3. Power off the transmitter. 4. Fully charge the aircraft battery. 5. Remove the battery after charging is complete. NOTICE: When you are finished flying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam. NOTICE: Always disconnect the battery from the aircraft before powering off the transmitter or injury and damage may result.
