Before flying your FLEX 2.0™, you need to expand the foldable arms out. Turn your FLEX 2.0™ over, bottom side facing you, pull and expand the 4 arms as shown in the diagram below carefully. Make sure the arms are fully expanded to the position. After flying your FLEX 2.0™, it is recommended to fold all 4 arms back in. When expanding or folding your FLEX 2.0™, make sure to be gentle.(see diagram D2)
DO NOT FLY YOUR FLEX 2.0™ IN FOUL WEATHER!
When syncing your FLEX 2.0™ with the controller always make sure that the drone is on a flat level surface and that your digital trim settings are in the center position.
Move the control stick all the way up and all the way down, you should hear two beeps.
The flashing red LED light will become solid when you are synced.
If you have successfully synced your FLEX 2.0™ to your controller you are now ready to fly. Before beginning to fly your drone you should familiarize yourself with how to start and stop the rotors, how to use your auto land feature and how the controls work so please carefully read and familiarize yourself with various control features explained in the next few pages. Once again as a beginner pilot you should learn how to control your drone in a large open field or park on a day with zero or very light wind. Do not try to fly your FLEX 2.0™ too high until you become a more experience pilot.
Even though the FLEX 2.0™ has four rotors there is still a front or "forward" facing direction and "rear" or backwards facing direction. The front and forward facing direction of the FLEX 2.0™ is the side with two white lights.(see diagram E). The rear and backward facing direction of the Quadrocopter is the side with one red (see diagram E).
Note: You can start/stop your FLEX 2.0™ manually or automatically. Please follow one of the steps below to operate accordingly. Make sure you have properly synced the FLEX 2.0™ and the power stays on.
The FLEX 2.0™ has an auto start/land feature which allows you to start/land automatically. Simply press the AUTO START / LAND button on the top of the controller and your FLEX 2.0™ will begin taking off/landing(see diagram below).
NOTE: You can still control the direction while auto starting/landing to avoid obstacles.
The FLEX 2.0™ has 3 speed settings; 1 (SLOW), 2 (MEDIUM) and 3 (HIGH). The Default setting when you first turn on your FLEX 2.0™ is the 1 (SLOW) speed mode. To increase the speed simply trigger the speed setting button (see remote diagram on pg 3) You will hear beeping sound, 1 beeping sound indicates slow speed, 2 beeping sounds indicates medium speed and 3 beeping sounds indicate high speed. Speed settings can be set before flight or during the flight.
Below is a list of basic flight functions for your long-range remote to control the FLEX 2.0™. While learning to fly your FLEX 2.0™ it is best to start in a large space with the drone facing away from you until you get used to the basic controls. As you master flying your FLEX 2.0™ you can move to more advanced maneuvering techniques. Practice makes perfect!
Move the left Throttle stick up to increase the propeller speed and the FLEX 2.0™ will accelerate and ascend.
Move the left Throttle stick down to decrease the propeller speed and the FLEX 2.0™ will decelerate and descend (see diagram I).
While in the air, move the left Throttle stick left and the FLEX 2.0™ will rotate left.
Move the left Throttle stick right and the FLEX 2.0™ will rotate right (see diagram J).
While in the air, move the right Direction Stick up and the FLEX 2.0™ will move forward.
Move the right Direction Control down and the FLEX 2.0™ will move backward (see diagram K).
While in the air, move the right Direction Control left and the FLEX 2.0™ will bank to the left.
Move the right Direction Control right and the FLEX 2.0™ will bank to the right (see diagram L).
To master flying your aircraft try practicing the exercises shown below, start with simple vertical takeoffs, landings, and left/right turning and rotating. Once those are mastered, move on to square and cross maneuvers. Good luck and have fun!
Fixed-Point Landing
Square Pattern Maneuver
Cross Pattern Maneuver
NOTE: The FLEX 2.0™ is already properly trimmed and calibrated right out of the box and should not require any trim adjustments before flying. Some more experienced pilots may want to adjust trim settings for their style of flying. After several crashes you may need to adjust trim settings for the FLEX 2.0™ to be more balanced.
Forward/Backward Trim
Bank Right/Left Trim
Spin Left Trim
Spin Right Trim
Throttle Trim
EMERGENCY STOP: press the "speed setting button" and "stunt button" simultaneously to stop the drone blade from spinning. Use it when you lose control of your drone.
NOTE: The use of the Trim buttons utilizes sounds. A single long Beep indicates the product is center trimmed. When there's no sound when press the trim means the product is trimmed to the maximum on a particular side.
NOTE: Your FLEX 2.0™ comes pre-calibrated out of the box so you are ready to fly.
After several crashes and shocks to your gyro sensors, you may notice that your drone is drifting and can not hold its center position as well as it used to.
This most likely means that you need to recalibrate your FLEX 2.0™. Please follow the simple instructions below.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If you do not see the lights flash, first remove the battery from the drone then turn off your controller and start again. Always make sure to put your battery in first, then turn on your controller. Push the left throttle stick up all the way and then pull back down again. When you hear the beep the FLEX 2.0™ is synced to the controller and you are ready to calibrate.
Performing 360º stunt rolls with the FLEX 2.0™ is as easy as 1-2-3:
