2.0 Remote Control

The included SwagDrone Remote Controller can be used to switch modes so that the drone

is easier to operate according to the user. Select the flight mode that corresponds to your

skill level.

For your first flight, start with the first mode listed below.

+Primary Flight: The flight control system uses automatic stabilization to achieve stability

without rolling over. This mode is suitable for beginners.

+Mid-level Flight: The flight control system uses a partial stabilization to achieve a relatively

flexible operation and allows rollover. This mode is for advanced users.

+High-Level Flight: The flight control system uses flexible stabilization for advanced operation

and rollover. This mode is for advanced users.

The images and examples below show MODE 2 (Left-hand throttle). The controller is

set to MODE 2 by default.

4.0 Pre-Flight Check

1. The SwagDrone 150-UP is recommended for pilots 14 and up who have piloted drones

before.

2. Only fly the SwagDrone 150-UP in dry weather with low wind conditions. Please do not

fly in rain, snow, or heavy fog.

3. Always choose large open fields for flying. Check local laws and ordinances for legal

flying areas.

4. To avoid injury from high-speed propellers, always keep a distance of 15 feet from the

drone when the motor is unlocked. Always lock the motor before handling the drone.

5. Do not fly close to high-voltage power lines, cell, or radio towers as these may disrupt

your control signal.

6. Always check local laws before flying. Never fly over crowds, near animals or children,

or within sports stadiums.

5.0 Battery Charging

STEP1. Insert the power adapter (100~240V 50/60Hz),

connect the output end to the GA005 balance

charger, the balance charger will show a solid red

LED light.

STEP2. Insert the balanced LiPO battery pin into GA005.

STEP3. During charging, Red LED will continually flash.

Once the battery has been fully charged, the Red

LED light will flash solid green.

• Refer to Section 11 for details for the GA005

Balance Charger.

6.0 Preparing the SwagDrone 150-UP

5.8G Antenna Installation

Install the 5.8 G antenna onto the transmitter and tighten with the

included wrench.

Propeller Installation

Fix the CW Propellers onto the clockwise motor according to

the direction of blue arrow, and fix the CCW Propellers onto the

counterclockwise motor according to the direction of orange arrow.

Tighten the propellers manually and make sure that all propellers have been properly

fastened.

• Install the propellers by hand and

tighten the motor with the

included wrench.

• You can also use the wrench to

help remove broken props in the

event of a crash.

7.0 Pre-Flight Setup

• Place the aircraft in a wide open

space with the rear facing you.

This position is known as "Tail In".

• Put the function switches to the 0 position and place the trims and dials to the middle

position. Move the throttle to the lowest position.

• Video receiving equipment is needed to display image and OSD information.

• The SwagDrone 150-UP uses a low voltage alarm beeper. The OSD provides a visual

reference for the remaining battery power.

• When the voltage reaches below 14 volts, the right LED will flash quickly and the beeper

alarm will sound. Land the drone as soon as possible if the alarm is heard or the OSD is

showing 14 volts.

• The 150-UP is designed for FPV racing, as there is no automatic landing mode.

7.1 Binding Your SwagDrone

• PROCEED WITH CAUTION. The drone will immediately receive power to all parts including

the propellers once the battery is connected. Do not allow loose clothing, hair, fingers or

any other part of your body to come in contact with or near the propellers during battery

installation.

STEP1. Turn the drone over. Pull the button down to unlock the cover and slide it open.

Check to make sure the 5.8G Transmitter Antenna is securely attached before

connecting the battery.

STEP2. Connect the battery to the drone using the

matching connectors. The drone will make

noise and the propellers may move slightly as

it receives power. Make sure the connectors

are fully joined.

For your safety, it is recommended to extend

both the Receiver Antennas before the next

step.

STEP3. Tuck the cords inside the compartment, fully

seat the battery inside the drone, and slide

the cover closed making sure it’s locked in

place. Turn the drone over, place it on a level

surface, and move at least 15 feet away for

safe clearance.

• When turning the drone over, make sure not to touch the metal parts of the 5.8G

Transmitter Antenna as these may be hot.

STEP4. Put the function switches to the 0 position

and place the trims and dials to the middle

positions. Doing this puts everything in

neutral. Use the image below to check that

everything is in the correct position. With

everything in the correct positions (neutral),

turn on the remote. The controller will

automatically start to bind to the drone

once it is on.

• Do not move the SwagDrone 150-UP during binding.

If the error reading THST K or any other combination appears on the remote’s

screen, at least one of the trims, dials, or sticks is not in the correct position. Turn

the controller off, check the above image, make any needed adjustments, and turn it

on again.

STEP5. Once the drone successfully binds to the

controller, the red LED will blink slowly and

the drone should stop making noise.

In the event that everything has been done

correctly but the drone keeps making noise,

please try binding it again. For any further

troubleshooting, contact customer service.

7.2 Locking & Unlocking the Motor

The motors are locked by default after successful binding.

Motor Unlock

Check that everything is in neutral (see Section 7.1, STEP 4),

then turn the remote on. Gently push the left stick down-left

and hold it in this position for at least 2 seconds. When the

motor unlocks, the red LED light will turn on, and the drone

will beep. Be very careful at this point, as pusing the throttle

will start the motors.

You can test this by pushing the left stick up a little; the motors should start.

Motor Lock

Check that everything is in neutral (see Section 7.1, STEP 4),

then gently push the left stick down-right and hold it in this

position for at least 2 seconds.

When the motor locks, the red LED light will turn off and the

drone will beep.

You can test this by pushing the left stick up a little; the motors should not start.

8.0 Flight Control

• Unlock the motor before take off, then manually take

off by slowly pushing the left stick upward.

• Tricks such as flips and rolls etc. should not be

attempted unless you are able to pilot the drone in mid or

high-level flight mode.

Ensure that the MIX switch is in position 1 or 2 for

Mid-level or High-level Flight modes. Postilion 0

is for Primary level or beginner flight mode. Tricks
