Place yourself directly behind your quadrocopter. As long as the two red LEDs on the rear of the quadrocopter are
facing you and you are therefore seeing your model from behind, from your perspective the quadrocopter will react
to the control commands "right, left, forward and backward" exactly as you command it on the transmitter. However,
if the white LED on your model is facing you, from your perspective it will react exactly the opposite way from your
steering commands at the transmitter.

Important!
Should the propellers run into objects and become blocked, immediately push the pitch joystick to the low-
est setting so that the affected drive motors are no longer supplied with power.
