# Motor start - first flight

Turn the handheld transmitter ON by pressing and holding center button. To start motors, simultaneously take both switches down and to the center.

Note: If the throttle is not moved above idle the motors will shut off after 3 seconds. Simply restart the motors by moving both sticks down into the center again.
