Installation of Aircraft
Propeller Installation
FD1 is equipped with two pairs of blades, a pair of clockwise blades (CW) and a pair of counter clockwise
blades (CCW). The propeller type is displayed for each motor. Do not install the blade on the motor that
does not correspond to it.
Installation / removal method :
Note : Always place one hand under the motor to support it when installing or
removing propellers.
Failure to provide this support could result in bending or breaking the landing gear.
1. Check that the propeller rotation (CW or CCW) matches the motor hub. This is
the normal direction the propellers spin during flight.
2. Rotate the propeller in the hub until it engages, then push the propeller
downwards and rotate it 1/8th of a turn in its opposite direction to lock it. So a CW (clockwise)
propeller is locked by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Check the propeller is completely locked by checking that the dots on the propeller and hub align or
by holding to motor hub firmly and ensuring that the propeller cannot be turned.
4. To remove propellers, support the motor with one hand and press the propeller down and then rotate
it 1/8th of a turn in its normal direction to unlock it from the hub. So, CW (clockwise propellers) are
unlocked by turning clockwise
The blades are sharp, please be careful to avoid personal injury.
Prior to each flight, please check that the propellers are smooth all over and are correctly installed and
securely fastened.
Spin each propeller by hand to check that the motors are free of sand or salt and spin freely

Aircraft Battery Installation
1. Remove the LID of the drone using the
thumb screws.
2. Insert the battery into the battery slot
from the tail of the aircraft to the head of the
aircraft, fasten the velcro strap snugly
around the battery, and then insert the
power plug into the power socket to
complete the installation of the battery.
3. Replace the LID and fasten the thumb-
screws snugly to ensure a good seal around
the LID.
Power Switch
There is a power switch at the head of FD1. Once the Battery is Connected, press and hold for 3 seconds
to power on, and press and hold again for 3 seconds to power off. (At the end of the flight, please
disconnect the battery, otherwise the battery will be damaged if it is stored while still being physically
plugged in.)
Aircraft Status Indicator
The fuselage of the aircraft includes drone status indicator light (red) and GPS signal status indicator
light (green). Their location is shown in the figure below.
Low battery warnings
Two Red Flashes - First level low battery warning. Land as soon as possible.
Fast Red Flashing - Second level low battery warning. Drone will auto land.

Calibration Warning
Red/Green slow flashing. Sensor calibration required. Refer to the remote control
screen for details.
Flight Modes
Drone GPS Location Accuracy ranges from 1-10 with 10 being the highest accuracy.
A rating of 10 indicates a drone location accuracy <1m. 9=1.1 meters; 8=1.2 meters, 7=1.3 meters, 6=1.4
meters, 5=1.5 meters. In GPS mode, it is recommended to take off with at least 5.
GPS Mode:
This mode uses GPS module to achieve accurate and stable hovering, braking,
intelligent flight, intelligent return and other intelligent flight mode functions. In
this mode, the maximum flight speed is 10m / s, the maximum ascent speed is
4m / s, and the maximum descent speed is 3m / s. When Joystick leavers
Headless
Mode:
While in the air, no matter what direction the drone's nose points to the drone
will fly in the direction that the right joystick is moved. If the right joystick is
pulled down, the drone will holds its altitude and fly straight back toward you
for example.
ATTI Mode:
In this mode , the drone does not provide positioning hold, but WILL provide
altitude hold. The maximum flight speed is 18m / s. if the GPS satellite signal
is good, it can return. The drone WILL drift with the breeze in this mode.
1. Whether in the ATTI or GPS mode, it is recommended that you take off after the GPS signal
reaches 8, so as to ensure that the aircraft accurately records the return point. When automatic
return is triggered, the aircraft can return to the take-off point accurately.
2. The user must pay attention to the fact that the flight speed is fast in ATTI mode. When flying in
windless environment, the user should reserve a braking distance of at least 30 meters to ensure
flight safety.
AUTO Return Process
Diagram
Description
If the height of the drone is Great than 20 meters and
the horizontal distance from the take-off point is > 15
meters, the drone will keep the original height and
return to the take-off point.
9
@2021 Swellpro Technology Co., Limited
IF THE HEIGHT OF THE DRONE IS LESS THAN 20 METERS AND
THE HORIZONTAL DISTANCE FROM THE TAKE-OFF POINT IS
MORE THAN 15 METERS, THE DRONE WILL CLIMB TO 20
METERS AND RETURN TO THE TAKE-OFF POINT.
1. When the GPS signal is poor (the GPS signal is displayed as 0), the automatic return cannot be
actioned.
2. In the process of returning, when you operate the joysticks, the aircraft stops returning. When you
stop operating the joysticks, the aircraft continues to perform returning.
Low Battery Warning and Return
The drone has two low power alarms:
Level 1 alarm: when the battery power of the DRONE has reached 14.6v, the low voltage icon will be
displayed on the remote control screen, and the red indicator light on the forearm of the aircraft will flash
twice continuously. At this time, the drone will automatically release the payload and return.

1. During the flight, it is important to continuously monitor the battery voltage, because the flight
conditions such as strong wind, heavy load or fast manoeuvring flight will exhaust the battery
more quickly.
2. It is very dangerous to continue to fly the drone when the battery is low, which creates a risk of
battery damage and drone crash.
