Slow Pirouettes
By moving the left stick (left or right), you can rotate the quadcopter around
360°, which is called a pirouette.
Forward Flight
Now it’s time to work into basic forward flight. Just take the basic hovering
maneuvers listed above and slowly fly out farther and faster and always
bring the Quadcopter back after one pass. Practice controlled slow flight in
close as well. The more time you spend practicing here, the easier things
will be later on.

POST-FLIGHT PROCEDURES POST-FLIGHT PROCEDURES
Before turning off the transmitter, make sure that all the trim indicators
on the transmitter are centered. If you fi nd that the model is consistently
drifting in one direction, the sensors on the 230Si may need to be re-
calibrated (see Troubleshooting).
Remove the battery from the quadcopter. Allow it to cool to room temperature
and recharge it. Do not leave the battery connected to the 230Si after the
fl ight is completed.
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.

The transmitter and 230Si must be on and linked before any of these
options can be selected.
Dual Rate
The transmitter has a dual rate function.
This feature toggles between a low
rate setting that reduces the model’s
range of motion to make the 230Si
easier to fl y and a high rate setting
that allows the full range of motion so
the 230Si can fl y in a more aggressive
manner. To toggle between these two
