 INSTALLING THE BLADE GUARDS, LANDING GEAR,
REMOTE BATTERY INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT BLADES

Install the included blade guards to every corner and tighten the screws.
Make sure the blade guards are secure and snug. (Fig. 1)

NOTE: Loose blade guards may interfere with propeller movement and
cause a crash. If the drone crashes, double check to make sure the blade
guard is not loose. If it is, re-tighten before flying.

Install the included landing gear and tighten the screws. (Fig. 2)

Unscrew and remove battery cover from controller. Insert 6 x ‘AA’ batteries If you need to replace a blade, follow the below steps:
according to indicated polarities. Replace and screw back in battery cover.
1. Unscrew and pull the domed blade cap to remove.
2. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the small screw from the lockstitch
(white piece). Do not lose the screw.
3. Lift up the lockstitch and then remove the blade from the axis.
4. Place the included washer into the new blade (see pic).
5. Place the new blade with washer onto the axis.
6. Slide the lockstitch onto the axis and screw back in making sure the hole
in the lockstitch aligns with the hole in the axis.
7. Screw and push the domed blade cap back onto the axis.

1. Install batteries carefully.

2. Do not mix old and new batteries.
3. Do not mix different types of batteries.

5. If the battery was removed, plug the battery back into the drone and close
the battery cover. 3. Next, you must calibrate the Altitude Sensor. Press the calibration button
down once. Lights will flash quickly and then slowly when finished. Your
drone is now synchronized, calibrated, and in stand-by mode awaiting

beeping once you have executed the flip. We recommend removing the
camera to protect it before performing stunt maneuvers. Galileo Stealth is
a large drone, so leave a lot of space for the drone to flip and recover.

TIPS ON 360° FLIPS SPEED MODES

The Galileo Stealth features multiple speed modes. Choose the speed based
on flight experience and level of comfort. At higher speeds, the drone will
pitch more than at lower speeds. Galileo Stealth is quite fast at its highest
speed and requires more piloting skills to fly competently. For safety, take time
to develop advanced skills by practicing at lower speeds first.
Press the Speed +/- button to change the speed mode. The remote control
indicator will beep once at slowest speed mode and multiple times as speed
mode is increased.*

Push the direction stick forward and the drone will perform a 360° flip in
that direction.

in that direction. Press again to cycle back to slow speed (1 beep).

* IMPORTANT:
Make sure you have mastered drone flight before executing flips. Make
sure you have plenty of upper and lower clearance and that no people,
animals, or objects are in the way.

TRIM ADJUSTMENT TROUBLESHOOTING

*Allow 15 minutes to pass between flights as this will give the motors a
chance to cool down. Failure to do so could wear out and shorten the life
of the motors.

letting the drone fly too far away. 3. Plug both cords on the camera into the drone.

Each drone is designed to land if the radio signal is lost. (But, this should
not be considered a landing procedure or normal flight practice.) It is
important to know and test the range of your drone before flying. We
recommend turning on and syncing the drone and walking away while
testing the engines. Keep walking and testing until it is obvious when
you reach the point where the signal is not controlling the drone. This will CONTROLLING THE GIMBAL:
