Drone:
Installing the Propellors,
always ensure that the correct propellors is installed on the correct motors, they are
match marked with either no markings as for Front Right and Back Left or with circles
as for the Front Left and Back Right motors
make sure the propellors are slightly nipped tight so that they can not unscrew
themselves.
Installing the Battery install,
Slide it in with the terminal downwards and securely plug in the connector, it can only
go in one way with the black negative wire to the left.
close the battery door and loosely tighten the retaining screws to ensure a good seal,
do not over tighten them,
from time to time add a little lubrication to the screw threads to prevent corrosion
damage on the threads.
Setting up the release,
the release must be set to let go approximately 400-500g higher than the load that will
be flown. Over tightening it can result in a failed release
Do not fully tighten it up as that will lock the load in so that it can not release.
On startup
ALWAYS switch on the remote first, failure to do so can result in a fly away, on power
up of the drone a rapidly flashing orange indicator light on the drone will indicate that
the remote is not on. In this instance power the drone off, power the remote on and
after waiting at least 3 seconds power the drone on again,
Always ensure the two right hand toggle switches are flipped to the top for GPS and
Normal flight modes,
NEVER move the drone during initial warmup, if you did pleased power down for at
least 3 seconds and restart, the second time round it will already be warm and will boot
up much faster,
NEVER power down and restart in rapid succession as the drone takes a few seconds
to power down fully,
On initial power up the indicator LED will flash orange at a rate of about one flash per
second, this indicates warming up,
After warmup, the indicator LED may flash orange and red in succession this means
the drone requires a compass calibration, follow the calibration steps,
If no calibration is needed the LED will change to flash either Red Red Green or Red
Red Orange. This indicates what flight mode you are in whilst the drone is looking for
satellites Green = GPS and Orange = Atti,
If the n LED changes to rapid orange flashes it is in RTH mode,
Once good GPS lock is obtained in GPS mode the flashes will change to a steady
Green flash, as soon as the home point is saved 5 rapid Green flashes will indicate this
and it is safe to fly.
Take off and flight
Always stand well clear of the drone, carbon fibre propellors can be very dangerous
and must be avoided, never try to stop spinning propellors by hand,
Arm the drone by pushing inwards and down with both controller sticks,
When safe, give gradual power by increasing the throttle/elevation/Left control stick
gradually, DO NOT give rapid full throttle, the drone will take off dangerously fast,
