ITEMS REQUIRED

These warnings and safety notes are important and must be followed closely. Please

abide by this information and follow the instructions in this Quick-Start Guide closely for

maximum safety.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES

• Just because the Butterfly is powered by electric motors doesn’t mean that you

shouldn’t exercise caution when flying and operating it. The Butterfly can be

dangerous if you do not fly it in a safe manner or do not pay close attention while

flying it. You alone are responsible for its actions during flight.

• We strongly suggest that when you first begin flying the Butterfly that you perform

only basic maneuvers, such as hovering, until you are more familiar with its flight

characteristics.

• The Butterfly features an adjustable gain dial that can increase its control sensitivity.

Turning the gain setting too high can cause the Butterfly to become extremely difficult

to control. We don’t suggest making adjustments to this setting.

• Always unplug the Li-Po battery from the Butterfly after use.

• Do not use any solvents to clean the Butterfly. Solvents may damage the plastic and

composite parts. Rubbing alcohol is safe to remove stubborn stains.

WARNINGS AND SAFETY NOTES

GENERAL WARNINGS, CONTINUED....

RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM WARNINGS

• The radio system operates on the 2.4GHz frequency band. The 2.4GHz connection

is determined by the transmitter and receiver pair. Unlike ordinary crystal-based

systems, the Butterfly can be flown without frequency control.

• Always turn the transmitter ON before turning the Butterfly ON and always turn the

Butterfly OFF before turning the transmitter OFF.

• The operational range of the Butterfly is beyond sight, so be careful when flying the

Butterfly to keep it within sight at all times or your Butterfly could fly away.

• Because the Butterfly is operated by radio control, it’s important to make sure you are

always using fresh transmitter batteries. Never allow the transmitter batteries to run

low or you might experience loss of control.

• Never touch the transmitter antenna during use. Doing so may cause loss of control

of the Butterfly.

• Do not expose the transmitter or the Butterfly to moisture or excessive heat, or electrical

damage may occur.

• Never attempt to disassemble or modify any of the radio control system components.

• If the transmitter becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with a soft dry cloth. If the outer

case becomes soiled, it can be cleaned with a damp cloth and liquid detergent. Do

not use any solvents to clean the outer case. Solvents will damage the finish.

• Never attempt to charge the Li-Po battery with a charger that isn’t designed to balance

charge Li-Po batteries. We recommend using only the charger included with your

Butterfly. It is designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery included with your Butterfly.

• Do not charge or use the Li-Po battery if it is hot to the touch.

• Do not leave the Li-Po battery in direct sunlight or in a hot car or storage area, or allow

Li-Po battery to be exposed to moisture.

• Always unplug the Li-Po battery from the Butterfly when not in use. The Li-Po battery

should be stored in a fire-proof container.

• Inspect the Li-Po battery before each use for swelling or other malformation. If

damaged, it should not be used.

• Do not poke, bend or otherwise damage the Li-Po battery. Do not short-circuit.

• Do not allow the Li-Po battery to ever exceed 160ºF (71ºC) for any reason.

LI-PO BATTERY WARNINGS

TRANSMITTER AND BUTTERFLY OVERVIEW

BUTTERFLY OVERVIEW, CONTINUED....

BUTTERFLY ULTRA-QUAD MODEL ‘S’

When you arm the Butterfly, the motors will spin up at low speed to stabilize the

Butterfly in preparation for flight. This is normal. Be very careful to keep your hands

and fingers away from the propellers during this process.

If the transmitter makes a continuous beeping sound when you turn it ON in the

next step, make sure the Gear switch is in the DOWN position and the Flight Mode

switch is in the ‘N’ position.

3) Turn the transmitter ON, then set the Butterfly on a flat, level surface and turn it ON.

The Blue Status LED will illuminate solid and an audible jingle will sound, indicating

the gyro system is initializing. Initialization will take about 15 seconds. Do not move the

Butterfly during this time. After the audible jingle sounds, you will hear short audible

tones at equal intervals. This is normal and indicates the Butterfly is ready to be armed.

As long as the Gear switch is in the UP position, the motors will be armed, even

though they’re not running. The Gear switch must be moved to the DOWN position

to disarm the motors. When the Gear switch is in the UP position, the motors can spin

up and shut down by moving the throttle control stick to the right and left as described

in steps 4 and 6, respectively.

4) With the throttle control stick pulled all the way back, push the throttle control stick all

the way to the right (A). Hold it in this position until the motors spin up at low speed

and the Blue Status LED flashes. Release the throttle control stick, making sure it’s still

pulled all the way back.

5) Move the Gear switch to the UP position (B). The Butterfly is now armed and ready to fly.

Even with motors spinning at low speed, you will not be able to control the throttle

when the Gear switch is in the DOWN position. The Gear switch must be in the

UP position to control the throttle.

COMPASS FUNCTION

The Butterfly Ultra-Quad Model ‘S’ features a Compass function, that when turned ON, will

reorientate the Butterfly in the direction it was pointing in when it was armed. This helps

you regain control orientation should you lose it during flight.

USING THE COMPASS FUNCTION

1) Set the Butterfly on the ground with the front of it pointing in the direction you want

the Butterfly to reorientate itself to.

2) Place the Auxiliary Lever in the UP position (Compass ON), then arm the Butterfly as

described in the Arming the Butterfly section. Do not move the Auxiliary Lever into the

DOWN Position as described in step 1 of that section.

3) As long as the Compass function is ON, when you’re flying the Butterfly and you center

the Yaw control stick, the Butterfly will automatically slowly spin back and the front will

point the same direction it was in when you turned the Butterfly ON.

The Compass function can be turned OFF and ON during flight by moving the

Auxiliary Lever DOWN (Compass OFF) and UP (Compass ON).

The Auxiliary Lever must be in the UP position (Compass ON) prior to turning

on the transmitter and arming the Butterfly for the Compass function to work. If

you turn the transmitter ON and arm the Butterfly with the Auxiliary Lever in the DOWN

position (Compass OFF), the Compass function will not work, even if you move the

Auxiliary Lever to the Compass ON position during flight.

Compass function precision is plus or minus 5º to 10º. If the deviation is larger

than 10º, the Compass function should be calibrated as described in the

Calibrating the Compass Function section on pages 12 and 13.

MAINTENANCE

This section describes some of the more common things you might need to do to keep

your Butterfly Ultra-Quad Model ‘S’ in great flying condition.

BUTTERFLY ULTRA-QUAD MODEL ‘S’

3) Remove the canopy from the Butterfly by carefully pulling it off the four mounting posts.

If the transmitter makes a continuous beeping sound when you turn it ON in

the next step, make sure the Gear switch is in the DOWN position and the Flight

Mode switch is in the ‘N’ position.

4) Turn the transmitter ON, then turn the Butterfly ON. The Red Bind LED on the receiver

will flash slowly.

5) Press and HOLD the Bind Button on the receiver for 4 to 6 seconds until the Red Bind

LED begins to flash rapidly. Release the Bind Button. The Red Bind LED will continue

to flash rapidly (up to 15 to 30 seconds) and then turn solid Red, indicating the

transmitter and receiver are paired and ready for use.

MAINTENANCE

BINDING THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER

The transmitter and receiver are paired at the factory and are ready for flight, but if you

purchase a new transmitter or a new receiver, they must be paired. Follow the steps in

this section to bind the transmitter and receiver.

If you’ve purchased a new transmitter, make sure the transmitter programming

matches the default programming described in the Resetting Transmitter Programming

section on page 12.

1) Place the Gear switch in the DOWN position and the Flight Mode switch in the ‘N’

position.

2) Pull the throttle control stick all the way back to its lowest position.

REPLACING PROPELLERS

A propeller should be replaced if any of the three blades becomes nicked, broken or

appears to have any other type of damage. Follow the steps in this section to replace

the propellers.

1) Insert a thin hex wrench (or similar) into the hole in the prop nut to unscrew the prop

nut and remove it. The front right and back left prop nuts have standard threads (turn

counter-clockwise to loosen) and the front left and back left prop nuts have reverse

threads (turn clockwise to loosen).

2) Remove the propeller and replace it with a new one, then reinstall and tighten the

prop nut gently. Do not overtighten it.

Please pay careful attention to which propeller mounts on each motor and its

orientation. See the Butterfly Overview section on pages 6 and 7.
