→ To start the quadcopter, turn the controller on and pull the two control sticks in
and down, as shown below. To power down, pull the two control sticks out and down
(Figures 6 and 7).

Once the quadcopter is on, you want to keep the left stick in the fully down
position (no throttle) and the right stick in its normal position (centered). Then, ease the
throttle up to about 50 percent, at which point your propellers will be spinning fast
enough to be at or near takeoff. At this point, your RealFlight experience should kick in,
so just fly around a bit and get used to dealing with the wind.
