1.0 DRONE OVERVIEW

• This racing drone’s frame has been manufactured using CFP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) to increase durability and the survivability of the drone in the event of a crash.

• Modular industrial design improves the drones performance as well as allowing for easy maintenance and upgrades.

• Advanced 5.8GHz live video feed and OSD (On Screen Display) system enables the FPV experience with the use of goggles or a remote display (sold separately).

• The Rapid Racing Drone utilizes a modern flight control system with 3 different flight modes allowing beginners to learn how to fly while advanced users and professionals are given full control for rolls, flips, and race course maneuvers.

2.0 TRANSMITTER OVERVIEW

The Rapid Racing Drone features 3 different flight modes that are easily changed via the transmitter. There is a mode suitable for all levels of piloting skill.

• Select the appropriate mode according to your flight skills.

• For your first test flight always start with Beginner Mode until you are comfortable with the flight controls and are ready for more control.

Beginner Mode - The flight control system utilizes auto stabilization to allow the pilot the ability to try the different movements of the drone in a stable environment, you can not perform any rolls in this mode.

Advanced Mode - The flight control system utilizes partial auto stabilization to allow the pilot more flexibility in flight but still providing some assistance with flight stability. You can roll in this mode when strafing, be careful.

Professional Mode - The flight control system allows for full flight control for the pilot that has mastered drone flight. No stabilization is active in this mode, full 3D movement with rolls, flips and tight turns are at your fingertips.

4.0 ATTENTION BEFORE FLIGHT

5.0 CHARGING THE BATTERY

6.0 PREPARING THE DRONE

6.1 ANTENNA INSTALLATION

• The Rapid Racing Drone is recommended for pilots 14 years and older, that have some RC hobby experience.

• Only fly this drone in dry weather with low wind, do not fly in rain or foggy conditions.

• Always fly in a wide open space. Check local laws and ordinances for legal flying areas.

• Keep a distance of at least 10 feet from the drone when armed. Always disarm before handling to avoid injury from the high speed rotor blades.

• Do not fly close to overhead power lines, cellphone towers, or radio tower, as these may interfere with your transmitter and its ability to control the drone.

• Avoid structures, buildings and areas filled with people, World Tech Toys will not take any responsibilities of damage, injury or financial loss by user operation.

1. Connect the power cable to a wall outlet then connect to the charger. The included charger accepts voltage from 100V to 240V.

2. Insert the LiPo battery charging cable into the charger.

3. While charging, the LED lights will stay solid red. When charging is complete, the LED lights will turn solid green.

Charge Time = 50 - 70min.

Attention:When the red LED lights are flashing, there may be something wrong with the charger or battery, stop charging immediately.

Install the drones antenna by screwing into the port between the rear LED tail lights. Secure the antenna by pushing it into the antenna clip at the top of the rear of the drone.

6.2 ROTOR INSTALLATION

Install the clockwise moving rotor blades (5045R) on the clockwise motors at the front left and rear right motors shown with the blue arrows and black rotor nut. Install the counter clockwise moving rotor blades (5045) on the counter clockwise motors at the front right and rear left motors shown with the red arrows and silver rotor nut.

Secure the rotor blades with a rotor nut on each motor mount tightening them in the opposite direction that the blade moves on each motor.

Attention:Install the rotors by hand and tighten to each motor mount with the included wrench. You can also use the wrench to help remove broken rotors in the event of a crash.

6.3 BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. First place the drone on a flat stable surface.

2. Remove the Battery Cover Shell and put the battery pack into the battery compartment.

3. Firmly secure the battery with the Velcro strap and replace the Battery Cover Shell. Do not connect the battery until you are ready for take off.

Attention:Always remove the Battery Cover Shell from the rear pegs first then slide off towards the back.

6.4 ADJUSTING CAMERA ANGLE

1. Loosen the screws on both sides of the camera housing using a screwdriver.

2. Adjust the cameras angle then tighten screws to secure camera position.

7.0 READYING FOR FLIGHT

1. Place the drone on a flat stable surface in a wide open space, the drone’s rear should be facing you.

2. Put the Flight Mode Switch to the “1” position and move the throttle stick to its lowest position. Turn on the transmitter.

3. To display the live feed and OSD information from the drone you will need a video receiving device such as FPV goggles set up.

4. Rapid Racing Drone has a low voltage alarm function and the OSD gives you a visual reference for the remaining battery power. When the voltage reaches 10.5V, the LED lights will flash quickly and the alarm will sound.

WARNING: When the drone's alarm sounds or the voltage reaches 10.5V you need to land, bring your drone closer and come in for landing. The drone is designed to be used as an FPV racing drone, it does not have any auto landing functions. Once the alarm sounds the drone will no longer be able to fully throttle and will begin its descent. Use the controls to navigate the drone to a safe landing area.

7.1 SYNCING THE DRONE TO TRANSMITTER

1. Turn on the transmitter ensuring that the throttle stick is at its lowest position.

2. Place the drone on a flat level surface and connect the battery cable to turn on the drone.

3. The rear left LED light will turn on to indicate the drone is powered on. When the right LED light flashes slowly and turns off, the drone has successfully synced to the transmitter.

(The low voltage alarm only emits from the drone, not the transmitter.)

9.0 CALIBRATING THE DRONE

10.0 POST FLIGHT

If the drone drifts while hovering or is not stable in Beginner Mode you need to recalibrate.

1. Put the drone on a flat level surface and power on.

2. Turn on the transmitter, push and hold the left stick to the top right corner and the right stick to the top left corner at the same time. Keep the drone disarmed.

3. The drone will beep, then beep three more times. When the beeps stop, the drone has been calibrated successfully.

Attention:Make sure the drone is on a flat level surface and that the motors are disarmed during the calibration process.

1. Land the drone and disarm the motors.

2. Power off the drone by unplugging the battery, then turn off the transmitter.

3. Remove the battery pack from the drone. Store drone and battery separately in a cool dry place. Store away from kids and away from high temperatures.

Attention:Always perform the post flight procedure above when you are done flying the drone. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or product damage.

Hardware changes should only be done by someone with previous drone experience as full disassembly is required to access all motor and ESC connections. The drone’s motors must be soldered to the ESC for each arm, connections for the clockwise motors should be flipped over when connected to the motor so the motors spin in the proper directions. If the CW motors spin in the same direction as the CCW motors you need to re-solder the top and bottom contacts in reverse to change the motors direction, leave the center connection.

The receiver is setup and ready to be used with the provided transmitter, no changes are necessary. Experienced users may reference the overviews below when connecting new

hardware. Spare S-BUS and PWM connectors are supplied for transmitters that require it and do not use the already connected PPM connection. Hardware changes should only be done by someone with previous drone experience as full disassembly is required to access all receiver connections.
