1. Safety Notes

Do fly only in safe areas and always away from other people! Do not operate RC aircraft within the 

vicinity of homes or crowds of people. RC machine are prone to accidents, failures, and crashes 

due to a variety of reasons including pilot error, radio interference, and lack of maintenance. Pilot 

are responsible for their actions and damage or injury occuring during the operation of RC aircraft 

machine. It is recomended that pilots complete a UAS flight-training course of 100 hours before 

flying the K130.

When flying the aicraft, the fast rotating props of K130 may cause serious injuries with any 

accident occurred. Therefore please keep in mind that safety at first during the flight.

The K130 Multi-Rotor is not a toy. The safety instructions are intended not only for the 

protection of the aircraft, but also to protect your own safety or others. Improper operation 

can cause serious injury and property damage. We do not guarantee error-free behavior of 

the electronics or software. Despite careful preparation and review, we do not assume any 

warranty or liability (direct or indirect) for the accuracy of the software, hardware or 

information. Use the electronics at your own risk (this also applies to associated computer 

programs). Furthermore, we assume no liability for consequential damage to property or 

persons caused by the application. It is your responsibility to perform a full system test. In 

case of improper use, a K130 Multi-Rotor can be dangerous. Do not fly over people! You 

need an appropriate insurance before the first flight, as required by law in many countries!

General

The K130 Multi-Rotor is not a toy and not suitable for children under 18 years.

If you don't have sufficient knowledge about the control of a model aircraft, please contact 

someone with experience.

An appropriate (model aircraft) liability insurance is required. In general, model aircraft are 

not covered by a standard liability insurance.

Refer to the Wiki and forum about the features and operation of all Multi-Rotor.

During the flight

Do not take risks! Your own safety and that of your environment depend on the good behavior 

of the pilot. Always maintain a safe distance from people, animals and objects. Improper 

operation can cause serious injury and property damage! Never fly towards viewers and 

avoid flying over spectators.

Keep in mind that viewers could get close to the K130 Multi-Rotor, without being aware of 

potential dangers.

Always turn off the K130 Multi-Rotor first and disconnect the flight battery before turning off 

the transmitter.

Only fly in sight. In the case of manual control, you must be able to see the position and 

attitude.
19 / 20

Never rely 100% on functions such as GPS, compass, or altitude control. You must always 

be able to take manual control of the K130 Multi-Rotor.

Reduce the gas or switch off the motors in case of a crash or failure.

Do not fly in blocked air space, such as in the vicinity of airports, etc.

Pay attention to under-voltage warning -flying on an empty battery can cause damage to the 

Lipos and crash.

If a defect or malfunction has occurred, it must be corrected before the next start.

When using GPS, take note that the position of the K130 Multi-Rotor can change suddenly 

some meters.

After the flight

Disconnect the battery and check all over for damage. Make sure that there is no damage to 

the propellers.

See the Handling and safety precautions of Lipos.

After a crash the sensors and electronics might be damaged. Before the next start everything 

must be checked.

Checklist (pre-flight check)

Weather conditions suitable (Beginners are advised to fly in conditions less than 15kts).

Frame and all screws are tight.

Propeller not damaged and tightly fixed.

Battery fully charged and securely mounted.

Transmitter battery charged and the antennas are free.

Channel of the transmitter is not busy. If 35/40/70MHz or other MHz-RC-controls are in 

operation simultaneously, the used channels must be checked with the other pilots (not 

necessary for 2.4 GHz systems).

Check RC(TX/RX) operation range (on the ground!) from time to time (and before 1st flight).

Ensure there is nothing in the danger zone of the propeller.

Ensure enough space for launch and flight.

Ensure the GPS module (if any) has GPS fix. If CH or PH is active it will beep every second. 

Check that when you switch to GPS mode, there will be an audible beep.

For manual start ensure GPS and altitude controls are turned off.

Ensure sensors are calibrated and that the right setting is loaded.

Ensure the trim of the remote control is in neutral position.
