About Aircraft

Flight Modes
P5G 2.7K / 4K adopts a new generation of flight control, which supports the following two flight modes.

GPS mode
GPS module can realize precise hovering, pointing flight and other intelligent flight modes. In the GPS mode, when the GPS signal is strong, GPS can be used for precise positioning; when the GPS signal is poor, the aircraft can not accurately locate, only provide attitude stabilization, and do not support intelligent flight function.

Attitude mode
Under this mode, the drone only provide attitude stabilization, which will produce drift in the horizontal direction. At this time, the operator needs to manually control the flight of the aircraft. This mode should be used with caution by novices. Please do not fly the aircraft too far (over the max flight range), so as to avoid the risk of losing aircraft and damage.

Circle Flight
Click the icon to enter circle flight mode.
Under normal flight conditions (flight altitude is greater than 5m), the drone will take the current position as the circling center by default, with a radius of 10m and a speed of 3m/s, and circle clockwise.

Follow Me Mode
Click icon to activate follow me mode.
When normal flight altitude is above 5m, and GPS signal is no less than 6, the drone will follow move position of mobile phone. In follow me mode, the drone can fly beyond the maximum distance limit of the fence.

Waypoint Flight Mode
Click the icon to start the waypoint flight mode.
Set multiple position points on the map, and the drone will fly in the order of set points (15 point at most). The map will identify the serial number of each point. The normal flight altitude is more than 5m, and the GPS signal is no less than 6. The drone flies to designated points on the map in the sequence of the number of points in the shortest path, and hovers at the last designated point.

Return to Home (RTH)
The aircraft has the function of automatic return. The takeoff point is the home point of the aircraft. The intelligent return function enables the aircraft to return to the home point. When the flight altitude is less than 20 meters, the aircraft rises to 20 meters before returning. When the flight altitude is more than 20 meters, and the aircraft will return with current altitude.
Note: The drone does not have automatic obstacle avoidance function. If the drone crashes into buildings or other obstacles on the way back, it will fall and break.

Malfunction Sloving Guideline

the drone
The remote controller’s battery is low and the power indicator will flash.| Change the remote controller’s battery
The frequencies of remote controller and the drone are not matched| Re-match the frequencies of the remote controller and the drone.
Response of control is not sensitive during flight| The remote controller’s battery is low or poor battery quality| Replace the battery with better quality
There are remote controllers with the same frequency is transmitting interference.| Change to a place that does not have devices with the same frequency to transmit interference.
Deflecting while hovering| No horizontal calibration| Do horizontal calibration again

Precautions

1. When the power supply (drone or transmitter) is insufficient, the remote-control distance will be shortened.
2. When the power of the drone is damaged, it will be not easy to take off or fly.
3. When the drone is damaged, please repair and stop using it in time, otherwise it may cause personal injury.
4. If you are not using the transmitter frequently, please remove the battery to avoid battery leakage.
5. Do not drop the transmitter from high or get it severely damaged, otherwise it will shorten the service lift of the transmitter.
