CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
when not l ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may
become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential i re

Transmitter and Receiver Binding
Your RTF transmitter comes prebound to the Inductrix. If you need to re-bind, follow the directions below.
MLP4DSM Binding Procedure (RTF)
1. Disconnect the l ight battery from the quadcopter.
2. Center all trims on your transmitter.
3. Power off the transmitter and fully lower the throttle.
4. Connect the l ight battery in the quadcopter. The LED on the 3-in-1 control unit l ashes red during
initialization, then l ashes blue when it is ready to bind.
5. When the blue light is l ashing, push in and hold down the left stick while powering on the trans-
mitter (you will hear a 'click' and a long tone).
6. Release the left stick. The transmitter will beep and the power LED will blink. The quadcopter is
bound when the blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit turns solid.
7. Disconnect the l ight battery and power the transmitter off.
BNF Transmitter
®
If you are using a computer transmitter, in the channel input menu, set channel 6 (Aux1) to a momentary
switch such as the bind button ( I ). Set the model type to "Acro" or "Airplane" mode. Bind the quadcopter
to your transmitter following the directions below.
General Binding Procedure (BNF ® )
1. Disconnect the l ight battery from the quadcopter.
2. Set the model type in your transmitter settings to "Acro" mode.
3. Center all trims on your transmitter.
4. Power off the transmitter and fully lower the throttle.
5. Connect the l ight battery in the quadcopter. The LED on the 3-in-1 control unit l ashes red
during initialization, then l ashes blue when it is ready to bind.
6. Put the transmitter into bind mode while powering on the transmitter.
7. Release the bind button/switch after 2–3 seconds. The quadcopter is bound when the blue LED
2.56 in (65mm)
on the 3-in-1 control unit turns solid.

8. Disconnect the l ight battery and power the transmitter off.
If you encounter problems, obey the binding instructions and refer to the troubleshooting guide for
other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support ofi ce. For a list of

Flight Mode Selection
Cycle between the l ight modes by pressing and releasing the left stick of the MLP4DSM or by pressing and
releasing the momentary switch on your computer transmitter as programmed in the binding section above.
• S tability mode (blue LED): the bank angle is limited. When the sticks are released, the quadcop-
ter will return to level l ight.
• A gility mode (red LED): the quadcopter has no bank angle limits and will not return to level i ght if
the sticks are released. Use rates and expo to tune the performance according to your l ying style.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to change l ight modes while l ying with the MLP4DSM transmitter.
Attempting to do so will cause the transmitter to register a faulty center position. Always land the
quadcopter and release the sticks before changing l ight modes.
Rate Selection – RTF
The Inductrix ® RTF quadcopter comes with the Blade
3
MLP4DSM transmitter.
• When powered on, this transmitter is automatically high rate.
• Change rates by pressing and releasing the right control stick.
• In low-rate mode, the quadcopter is limited to a lower bank
angle and will self-level when the control sticks are released.
This mode is typically preferred by pilots looking for smoother/
easier control response during i rst time use.

• In high-rate mode, the quadcopter has a higer possible bank
angle and will self-level when the control sticks are released.
Understand the Primary Flight Controls
If you are not familiar with the controls of your Inductrix quadcopter, take a few minutes to familiarize
yourself with them before attempting your i rst l ight.

Takeof
Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and
concentrate on balancing the throttle stick's position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude. In
A
some cases, you may need to make a few short "hops" to an altitude of just a few inches until you become
familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.
B
Hovering
The Inductrix quadcopter requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover. Remem-
C ber to keep these throttle adjustments as minimal as possible. Large adjustments could result in a
loss of control or a possible crash.
While attempting to establish a low-level hover, check to see if any trim adjustments are required to
help keep the quadcopter from constantly drifting in various directions. If you i nd that it constantly drifts
without any directional control input, land the model before making any adjustments to the trim settings.

• If the nose of the quadcopter rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim.

• If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim.

• If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim.
Throttle Rudder (Left/Right)
Trim Throttle (Up/Down)
Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little
drifting and directional control input. If this is your i rst multicopter or helicopter, seek the help of an
experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your i rst l ight.
With your quadcopter properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover, practice using the
rudder, elevator and aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the machine's responses to control
inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible.
Average l ight times are approximately 4 minutes.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
To prevent excessive wear to the motors, always allow the motors to cool between l ights.

Low Voltage Cutof (LVC)
® Once the battery reaches 3V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor
Dual rate selection
until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery. Land imme-
diately once the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to l y after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash
or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Repeatedly l ying the aircraft until LVC activates will damage the l ight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge.
During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
FPV Camera and Video Transmitter
NOTICE: Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV (i rst person view) equipment.
In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are responsible for operating this
product in a legal and responsible manner.
1. Power on your radio transmitter, then power on the aircraft.
2. Power on the video receiver to make sure the channel is clear.
3. Select the desired video transmitter channel by pressing the

4. Perform a range test before l ying.
If you experience static in the video feed, select a different channel.
NOTICE: The 25mW micro video transmitter range on your quadcopter is less than your l ight
control transmitter range. Ensure you have adequate video camera range for i lming.
Tip: If you are l ying with an FPV headset and are prone to motion sickness, sit in a chair. If you start to
suffer from motion sickness while l ying, lower your chin against your chest.
Fly in open areas, away from people, trees, cars, and buildings. The range of the system can be
impacted by any obstructions blocking your signal. It is normal to see break up in the video going
behind trees and other obstacles.

2. Attach the included antenna to the antenna connector located on
the top of the monitor.
CAUTION: Do not power the monitor on without the antenna
attached. Doing so will damage the video transmitter and
receiver amplii ers. Amplii er damage is not covered by warranty.
3. Attach the fpv monitor holder to the MLP4DSM
transmitter.
a. Slide the holder down over the antenna.
b. Tighten the clamp screw. Do not overtighten.
c. Open the clamp jaws and place the monitor in the
jaws. The angle of the monitor can be adjusted by
loosening the angle adjustment knob, rotating the
clamp up or down and tightening the adjustment knob.
4. Turn on the monitor and look for a clear channel. Clear channels will have a consistent static background.
Channels with interference will display horizontal static lines. Select one of the clear channels. The video
transmitter included with the Inductrix FPV quadcopter transmits only on the Fat Shark/IRC and RaceBand
bands, channels 1-8.
