Operator Notice
The responsibility to operate in a safe manner, prevent injury to persons or damage to
property, and to take no unnecessary risks falls upon the owner and those whom the
owner authorizes to pilot and operate the Draganflyer X4-ES helicopter.
Furthermore the onus is upon each owner/authorizer/pilot to comply with all regulations
pertinent to the use of the Draganflyer X4-ES helicopter and associated components at
the location of operation with regards to the use of airspace as well as radio
communications.
Draganfly Innovations Inc. does not accept any responsibility for damages or financial
compensations which may arise as the result of an owner/authorizer/pilot failing to
comply with any regulations which would lead to a claim against the user.

Warning
The Draganflyer X4-ES helicopter is a precision machine that is vulnerable to misuse and
can prove to be dangerous if not properly maintained or used in an inappropriate manor.
Helicopters by their nature are not positively stable. Although the Draganflyer X4-ES can
maintain an attitude and a position relative to wind movement without constant control
input; operators should always be aware of its position and be able to take immediate
control of the helicopter to recover from an unwanted position and avoid any mishaps.
Please completely read and understand all Draganflyer X4-ES instructional information
before attempting to fly the Draganflyer X4-ES.
To provide optimum performance, a Lithium Polymer battery powers your Draganflyer
X4-ES. The same properties that make these batteries extremely powerful and
lightweight also make them dangerous if handled incorrectly. Please read and
understand all information pertaining to the battery before attempting to use or charge it.
IF MISUSED THIS AIRCRAFT IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY HARM
TO THE OPERATOR AND SPECTATORS AS WELL AS PROPERTY DAMAGE. ANY
DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCURRING DUE TO MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT IS
SOLELY THE OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY.

Special notice:
We are always shocked, and you might also find it hard to believe, that
upon getting their new helicopter system many people want to take it apart
to see how it works.
Often to their dismay, all they learn is the helicopter is as beautiful on the
inside as it is on the outside but more times than not, they mix-up the
motors or break something so our advice is please, just enjoy the
helicopter, the amazing performance, and let your imagination soar with
this incredible aerial tool.
- Understand there is no need to lubricate the motors and often people
that don’t listen to us and do it anyway, end up damaging them.
- Please also understand that each motor is coded to a specific position on
the aircraft so don’t get the wild idea to move a motor from the back up to
the front. If you are experiencing a problem with the aircraft please just call
our support line at 1-800-979-9794 or drop us an e-mail to
support@draganfly.com.
Safety Precautions
As the pilot in command you are responsible for the safety of yourself and others
whether it be in the immediate takeoff and landing area, or the general flight path area.
Please take safety very seriously.
•Always wear protective eyewear.
•Do not use batteries other than those specifically designed for the Draganflyer
X4-ES; doing so may cause erratic flight performance and void the warranty.
•Do not fly the Draganflyer X4-ES in excessive winds.
•Do not fly the aircraft system in rain.
•Do not fly near people on the ground or objects in the air.
•Do not fly near pets or other animals.
•Do not fly near high-tension lines, electrical substations, high structures or
communication facilities.
•Be careful where you place the controller and helicopter during flight
preparations, be sure the equipment will not be dropped or suffer an
accidental fall as this may cause serious damage.
•Never fly this aircraft where damage to property or injury to persons may
result if loss of control occurs.
•Never leave the Draganflyer X4-ES unattended with the battery connected.
Make it a habit to always disconnect the battery when not flying.
•When possible fly with a spotter or observer

Contents
Chapter 1: Draganflyer X4-ES Setup
This is probably the most fun chapter of all. In this chapter
you will unfold the frame, the landing gear, install the props,
better understand the LiPo battery, discuss operating the
aircraft safely, and get the helicopter ready for flight.
Chapter 2: Battery Safety and Charging
One of our more serious chapters but extremely important.
Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery technology has improved
greatly over the years; but if not cared for properly, the
batteries can be very dangerous.
Chapter 3: Ready for flight
You have the helicopter fully assembled, batteries charged
and you’re excited to get it in the air, so now what? This
chapter discusses some of the first flights and covers
several flight training exercises.
Chapter 4: Aircraft technical data
Here you’ll find all the specifications and technical data
required to answer many of the questions asked by your
agency responsible for the Air Space or the neighbor down
the street.

X4-ES Helicopter Setup
We had a great time building and flight testing your aircraft. In this section we’ll go over
the steps required to assemble the aircraft in preparation for launch. Because the aircraft
can be equipped with several different payload packages, please refer to the individual
payload manual for details about the payload set-up and how to get the most from it. To
attach the various payloads is simple ... just twist and lock using the quick release
system.
Extend helicopter booms
Start by unfolding the helicopter booms and snapping them into position. As they are
unfolded, the front booms will “pass thru” the rear clips. Continue to bring the booms
forward until firmly snapped in their front position. The rear booms will “lock” into the
rear clips and with all four booms extended the frame is ready for the next step.

towards the front.
Front booms pass through rear
clips and rear booms will lock in
place.
Snap front booms into clips
and make sure they lock
Extend Landing Gear
There are several helicopter systems on the market but we think you’ll be hard pressed
to find an aircraft where so much effort and design was involved to create a lightweight
and incredibly strong airframe. In addition to it’s strength, the airframe design allows the
aircraft to quickly fold into a small package; light weight improves overall performance
and folding, reduces transport case size making it easier to get out on scene or out
working on that next project.
To extend the landing gear, simply
pull them down and rotate forward
until you feel and hear them snap
into position. Double check and
make sure they are locked and
that’s all that’s required.
To retract the landing gear, pull
down on the leg and allow the
spring to rotate and pull the leg
back parallel to the helicopter
boom.
Fast, simple, lightweight, and very
strong.

leg and let the gear rotate
back parallel to the boom.
