If the model is to be stored for a long time period, please remove the batteries
from the transmitter to avoid damage to the contacts. If storing the model for
several weeks, the batteries for the quadcopter should be charged to 50%
of a full charge and checked after 3 to 4 months.

FLIGHT MODE OPTIONS FLIGHT MODE OPTIONS
Dual Rate
The TX465 transmitter has a dual rate
function. This feature toggles between
a fl ight mode that reduces the model’s
range of motion to make the 1Si easer
to fl y and one that allows the full range
of motion so the 1Si can fl y in a more
aggressive manner. To toggle between
these two fl ight modes, press down
on the right control stick and release
it. When the transmitter is in low rates, the ellipse in the lower center of the
LCD screen will show a half ellipse and emit a single low pitch single beep.
For high rates, the ellipse will be complete and the transmitter will emit a
single high pitch beep.
Flight Control Sensitivity
You can also make the transmitter for the 1Si more or less sensitive by
changing the control setting. To do this, press and hold the right stick down.
When the transmitter starts to beep continuously, move the throttle up or
down to adjust the sensitivity percentage which will be indicated on the LCD
screen. A higher value will make the controls more sensitive. When you have
the desired setting, release the right stick and return the throttle to 0%. We
have found that 30% is good all-around setting. Warning: If this value gets
bumped to 0 your quadcopter will respond very slowly to any right stick input.
Beginner/Expert Mode
When the 1si is turned on it will be in Beginner Mode. In this mode, the
control board will apply “Braking” to slow the 1Si and bring the model to a
hover when the right sticks are released. The quad will be very smooth and
stable in this mode.
Press the “F Mode” button on the upper right corner of the transmitter to
enter the Expert Mode. The LED on the back of the 1Si will fl ash twice, stay
off for a second, fl ash twice again, and then remain on. When the quadcopter
is in this mode, the accelerometers are disabled and the 1Si will not slow
down when the right stick is centered. This mode also will allow the 1Si to
fl y more aggressively.
