discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged. Connecting the Drone and Transmitter To connect your stunt drone and transmitter, follow this start up sequence:
1. Power ON the transmitter. 2. With the drone on a level surface, power ON the drone. The drones LEDs will blink rapidly. 3. Fully raise the throttle stick. 4. Fully lower the throttle stick. The transmitter emits one 5. After the beep, connection is successful. The drones long beep. LEDs stay solid. 5 EN Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your stunt drone, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight. Throttle Throttle up Rudder Yaw left Elevator Pitch down Aileron Descend Climb Throttle down Nose Yaws Left Yaw right Left Side View Nose Yaws Right Left Side View Forward Pitch up Backward Rear View Rear View Roll left Left Roll right Right 6 EN Flying the Invezo Stunt Drone Power on the transmitter and drone, place the drone on the floor with the nose pointed away from you and step back away from the drone. IMPORTANT: Beginner pilots should always start with the EASY flight rate. Takeoff Slowly increase the throttle until the drone is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground. Making small corrections on the transmitter, try to hover the drone in one spot. After moving the right stick and returning it to center the drone should level itself. The drone may continue to move due to inertia. Move the right stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement. Some minor drifting while hovering is normal due to the movement of air, however, you may use the trim buttons on the transmitter to limit severe drift in any given direction. If the drone drifts:
forward, use the backward elevator trim button. backward, use the forward elevator trim button. right, use the left aileron trim button. left, use the right aileron trim button. If the drone rotates (top down view):
right, use the left rudder/yaw button. left, use the right rudder/yaw button. Flying Maintaining a stable low-level hover, practice using the yaw, pitch and roll controls to familiarize yourself with the drones responses to control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible. When you are comfortable with basic flight, you can explore the different flight rates and functions explained in the Flight Rate Selection section. Access different flight rates by pressing on the left control stick to scroll through the different flight rates. Typical flight times for the included battery range from 56 minutes. Performing multiple flips throughout the flight may reduce flight time. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) LVC decreases the power to the motors when the battery voltage gets low. The LEDs on the drone will indicate when the battery charge is getting low. When the drone LEDs begin flashing, land the drone immediately and recharge the flight battery. Continuing to fly after the LEDs begin to flash will cause the motors to slow and eventually shut down, causing a crash. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage. NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty. NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery. Landing To land, establish a low level hover and slowly decrease the throttle until the drone touches down. Fully decrease the throttle to stop the motors. Remove the battery from the drone after use to prevent over discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V. Flight Rate Selection The Invezo stunt drone has 3 available flight rates. Press down on the left stick (until it clicks) to select the different rates. The transmitter beeps, indicating the active flight rate. The LCD screen indicates 30% (Easy); 60% (Pro); and 100% (3D). Easy Rate (default) = 1 beep. This rate limits the Pro Rate = 2 beeps. This rate increases the possible possible speed and control sensitivity of the stunt drone. This allows beginner pilots to get used to the flight controls with less chance of over-controlling. flight speed and sensitivity of the stunt drone. 3D Rate = 3 beeps. This rate allows for maximum flight speed and manueverability and is recommended for more experienced pilots. 7 EN Inverted Modes To perform a flip, press the FLIP MODE SELECT button to put the drone in 360 or 180 flip mode. 360 (default) = 2 beeps 180 = 1 beep 360 Flip Mode The Invezo drone can flip 360 during flight. To perform a flip, press the FLIP button and use the right control stick to give a directional flip command. For optimal results, ensure the model is at least 510 feet (1.53 m) off the ground. Press the FLIP button. Push the CONTROL stick LEFT then back to center. Press the FLIP button. Push the CONTROL stick RIGHT then back to center. Press the FLIP button. Push the CONTROL stick UP then back to center. Press the FLIP button. Push the CONTROL stick DOWN then back to center. 8 Left Side View Left Side View EN 180 Flip Mode When the drone is flipped 180 using the FLIP MODE SELECT button, the forward and reverse controls switch automatically so your perception of forward has not changed. This means that if the colored props were considered the front of the quad before you flipped front-to-back, they will now be the rear of the quad. When the drone is flipped 180 left-to-right, the controls do not change. When the throttle is moved to the lowest position, the direction control always defaults to the colored props being the front of the quad. It does not matter which side of the quad is facing up. Replacing the Propellers The propellers on the Invezo stunt drone are marked near the center with an A or B. If a propeller is ever damaged and needs to be replaced, always replace the propeller with the same type. Follow the illustration for the correct propeller placement. Post-Flight Inspection and Maintenance Checklist Cleaning Fasteners Propellers Make sure the battery is not installed before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry, lint-free cloth. Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn the screw only 1/8th of a turn more. Do not use threadlock on or near plastic parts. Make sure there is no damage to the propellers or other parts that move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts and remove debris before flying. 9 EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Possible Cause Solution Drone will not respond to throttle Difficulty connecting transmitter to drone Transmitter incorrectly connected to drone Cycle power to drone with transmitter ON and perform motor arming procedure Replace or recharge batteries Cycle power to drone with the transmitter ON and perform motor arming procedure Flight battery or transmitter battery charge is too low Drone battery was plugged in before the transmitter was powered ON Flight battery or transmitter battery charge is too low Drone or transmitter is too close to large metal object, wireless source or another transmitter Flight battery charge is low Inadequate power to flight battery charger Use a different power source for the charger Move drone and transmitter to a new location and attempt to connect again Replace or recharge batteries Replace or recharge batteries Reduced flight time or reduced power Flight battery is damaged Flight conditions too cold Crashes immediately upon lift-off Propellers in wrong locations or interference to propellers Bent or damaged propeller Replace the flight battery and follow the flight battery instructions Make sure the battery is warm (room temperature) before use Ensure propeller direction is correct and any interference is clear Replace bent or damaged propeller with new Exploded View 1 5 4 3 2 Parts Listings Part #
