Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Graupner mz-10c Multirotor Radio. The mz-10c has been specially designed to make all of your copter flying easy and fun. Setting up a new copter should not take more than 15 minutes before you can fly.
The mz-10C will only work with Graupner Multirotor Flight Controllers such as the GR-18C or the GR-10C.
Each multirotor function such as Attitude/Rate mode, Flip mode and Throttle hold have been pre-set on the radio. There is no need to program anything to benefit from the functions of your flight controller.
Depending on your configuration you may need to bind the radio to the flight controller.
The mz-10C is compatible with all of Graupner Alpha multirotor products like the Alpha 250, Hornet 250, Alpha 110 and many others and will require a simple bind to fly any of these models.
One radio can fly all of these copters and you can expand your copter fleet by simply installing your own the GR-18C flight controller on any copter such as the Versacopter and go fly!
No programming no fuss no hassle It’s that easy!

Multirotor Installation
Verify that all propellers are removed from your multirotor. Graupner is not responsible or liable for any injuries sustained during the installation and setup of the mz-10C and GR-18C due to improper use or inattention to safety procedures.
Find a proper location to mount the GR-18C receiver/controller, for example, towards the front of the multirotor right behind the FPV camera if you have one. Make sure that the ESCs and motors are properly connected and that the four ESC wires are routed safely to a single spot where the GR-18C location is going to be. Point the GR-18C antennas towards the front of the multirotor and the connector ports towards the back towards the ESC wires.
Wipe the surface of the multirotor with alcohol to assure proper adherence before attaching the GR-18C. This step is critical to ensure that little to no vibration will affect the flight performance of the GR-18C receiver. Secure the GR-18C with the supplied 3M VHB double sided tape.
Number the ESC connections to assist with later setup. Check the motor for markings that indicate clockwise (CW) or counter clockwise (CCW) rotation. Number the ESCs with the back of the multirotor facing the user (front points forward) as follows:
1. Front Left Motor (CW) ch1 = Ch1
2. Front Right Motor (CCW) ch2 = Ch2
3. Back Right Motor (CW) ch3 = Ch3
4. Back Left Motor (CCW) ch4 = Ch4
Plug in the ESCs in order as determined in the previous step. For example, Motor 1 goes to Ch1, etc.
S1001.G1 and S1001.G1.77-USA-V1.0 17 / 33
Before Flight Safety Checklist Choose a wide open space such as a soccer or baseball field. Don’t
fly in the vicinity of people, houses, your backyard or obstacles such as trees and electrical poles.
Before attaching the battery, always make sure that the motor ON/OFF switch is on the OFF position and that your throttle stick is always at the bottom of the throw (towards user).
Always conduct a radio range test (refer to the Performing a Range Test section).
Makes sure the flight mode switch is in attitude mode, which is the recommended beginner’s flight mode.
Your First Flight Flying with the GR-18C controller is very easy but be aware that the multirotor can accelerate very quickly; be ready to provide the proper stick inputs to level it and slow it down. Users with little or no flying experience should consider having an experienced RC pilot assist during initial flights.
Move the throttle hold switch to the ARM position (forward) and advance the throttle slightly. The propellers will start spinning.
Take note of the copter behavior! If it starts rotating while close to the ground in an unanticipated manner, check to see if the propellers are attached correctly.
After the multirotor has lifted from the ground, bring it to a hover at or below eye level and verify it is hovering straight and level with minimal inputs. If the multirotor is not hovering at a level flight attitude, check the neutral position of the trims or perform a new level calibration (this is explained in the GR-18 user manual).
Build up some experience flying the multirotor before switching from Attitude mode to Rate mode. In Rate mode the multirotor becomes very responsive, allowing users to perform aerobatic maneuverers such as rolls and loupes.

Binding Binding the Transmitter
When binding, position the transmitter and receiver 3 feet (1 meter) apart.
Binding step by step:
1. Switch on the transmitter
2. Switch on the receiver
3. Put the receiver in bind mode by pressing the small SET button for about 3 seconds on the flight controller
4. Press the MODE button on the radio. When the bind process is successful, the bind LED turns to yellow indicating a successful bind. The receiver LED will change from red to green.
5. After binding transmitter and receiver perform a range test.
Performing a Range Test The range test is activated by simultaneously pressing the MODE and ENTER keys. This reduces the transmitter power. The range test is active for only 90 seconds. After 90 seconds, the transmitter switches back to full power.
Range test step by step:
1. Place the model in a safe location. For copters, make sure that the model is secured to a surface to avoid accidental takeoff.
2. Turn on the transmitter
3. Check control response.
4. Press the MODE and ENTER keys simultaneously. The transmitter will start beeping.
5. Move away from the model while activating the sticks. An assistant may be useful to help watch over the model.
6. If an interruption in the model function is detected within 160 feet (50 meters), correct the problem. For example, re-position the antenna on your model.
7. Make it a habit to do a range test before each flight
Terminate the range test function by pressing the MODE and ENTER keys simultaneously for 2 seconds
Range Warning Note
If a range test cannot be successfully performed, contact your nearest Graupner service center for additional support.

S1001.G1 and S1001.G1.77-USA-V1.0 27 / 33
Switch Functions Motor ON/OFF Function
The motor stop function is active completely independently from the position of this switch, until after switching on the transmitter the throttle/pitch stick has not been brought at least once in the motor-OFF position.
ATTENTION
To prevent accidental motor starts and risk of accident, make it a habit to move the MOTOR OFF switch forward only during takeoff. Move the switch backward as soon as the model has landed.
Note
When the motor stop function is on, the CUT-OFF LED blinks red.
Attitude/Rate Mode Switching ♦ Attitude Mode (Beginner Mode)
The stick movement determinates the Copter reaction on Roll and Nick, allowing a maximal angle of about 50° at 100% of stick movement. The stick movement acts directly proportionally to Roll and Nick.
After releasing the sticks, the copter automatically moves back to the centering position.
♦ Rate Mode (Advanced Mode)
The stick movement determinates the rate without limiting angle movement and without automatically returning to the centering position.
This is an aerobatic mode that allows rolls and flips not suitable for beginners.
Switch for Additional Functions ♦ LED
To turn on copter lighting, push the switch backwards.
♦ OFF (middle position)
Place the switch in the middle position to deactivate the LED and FLIP functions.
♦ FLIP (Attitude Mode only)
Pull the switch forward to activate the Auto-flip function in Attitude Mode. The transmitter will emit a 5 second continuous beep. During the beep, move the roll or nick stick more than 50% of its travel. The copter will autonomously make a loop in the selected direction.
After the flip it is possible to have small position movements (<10°).
