2. (while at lowest throttle position) Move the rudder to the most left position
3. Propellers will start to rotate at a low speed
4. Release the rudder from full left position once motor’s start to avoid the quad rotating on the
ground.
5. If the throttle is not moved from the lowest position within 5 seconds, the motors will shut down
automatically. (Failsafe function)

(City or state)
Please reference “IFLY-V4M Manual.”
Magnetic compensation:
You need to carry out the magnetic bias compensation because the global magnetic
bias is all different from place to place. This is accomplished with the Compass
calibration
Please reference “IFLY-V4M Manual.”

other outside factors, the quad will lean on one side after the quad takes off.
You can reset the Gyro by carrying out the following actions:

Propeller installation and rotation direction
Please install the propellers as per the following screenshot, or the propeller will
not rotate correctly and the quad will not fly.
Propeller direction and the position of the ESC:
Motors: 1 and 3 clockwise
2 and 4 counter clockwise
10
Flight modes
Apollo flight modes support, ACRO , Balance, Height hold, GPS, and RTH 3 of flight modes can be
set to the 3 position switch at one time. The flight modes can be switched with the 3 position switch
on the transmitter，Please reference “IFLY-V4M Manual.”
Mode Status indicator
Apollo current mode status can be recognition by the bright LED on the bottom, about the LED status
instruction. Please reference “IFLY-V4M Manual.”
Failsafe control - Return to home (Loss of
control)

automatically If the quad is out of control.
The process of the return to home:
1. The quad will climb to 10 meters (distance from the quad to the ground) automatically, and then
start to fly back to where it took off. (The position where the motors were started)
2. The quad will hover for about 5 seconds when it is back over the place where it took off.
