Replace propeller

First remove the fan blade assembly, hold the fan blade in your hand, then use a manual screwdriver to take out the fan blade fixing screw, replace the new fan blade and lock the screw back.

Note: When replacing the new blades and reinstalling, align any groove of the upper wind blade clamp with any semicircular convex limit point of the lower wind blade clamp and install it in place obliquely. Misalignment may result in poor assembly of the fan blade assembly. If the entire downwind blade clamp is accidentally pulled out, just align the position marked “I” on the side of the fan blade clamp with the flat position of the reduction shaft during installation.

Motor replacement

• Take out the wing fixing screws, remove the wing and unplug the motor plug
• Break down the fan blade assembly obliquely in any direction
• Take out the motor assembly and replace the motor

Note: When reinstalling the fan blade assembly, align any groove of the upper wind blade clip with any semicircular convex limit point of the lower wind blade clip and install it in place obliquely. Misalignment may result in poor assembly of the fan blade assembly. If the entire downwind blade clamp is accidentally pulled out, you only need to align the position marked “I” on the side of the fan blade clamp with the flat position of the reduction shaft during installation.

Pre-flight preparation

3. Please use the original standard charger of this product for charging. The charger with unknown origin may have a burning explosion accident.

Pre-flight adjustments

1. Turn on the transmitter, put the plane flatly on a clean flat platform,connect power battery, cover battery. Before the motor is running (in this case the gyroscope is not involved in the work), need to check if the rudder is in the neutral position,and if the deflection direction is correct ,then check whether the motor is running smoothly.
2. Check if the position of aircraft gravity center is in a reasonable range: under normal circumstances, aircraft gravity center should be located in the range from 30mm from the wings.

Hand throwing takeoff right way

As shown in the figure, against the wind, at full power, at an angle of 5°, try to throw the aircraft with force.
Note: aircraft took off under 6-axis mode, on condition of throwing correctiy, the aircraft will automatically default to climb attitude. Since aircraft has function of attitude correction, at this stage as long as the plane did not head drop, it is not recommended pull the elevator rocker, otherwise the plane will fly back down.

3D / 6G mode switch

1. The default is 6G mode, which makes the flight more stable. When you are skilled in flight and want to do stunts, you can press the switch button to 3D mode (Press the button twice for 3D mode(red light flash), and once for 6G mode). (The operating system is more sensitive in 3D mode. Please switch the 3D mode when the aircraft is at high altitude to familiarize yourself with the flight and pay attention to flight safety A
2. 6G mode: more stable flight, can be summarized the mode of steady and holding when level fly, in this case, plane can only fly flat, can not roll, inverted fly, side fly, somersaults or any other stunts.
3. Special note: this flight modes can be arbitrarily switched by a switch as the following figure, if the aircraft cause emergency in 3D mode, switch to mode of 6G made the aircraft to level flight immediately to reduce the crashes possibility.

Troubleshooting guide

Special reminder

A500 ground flying skills and precautions during flight

1. Place the aircraft on a stable ground facing the wind and the remote control is on. (6-axis mode)
2. Slowly push the throttle from the minimum to the maximum. At this time, the aircraft will glide forward from slow to fast, and then adjust the lift stick according to the attitude of the aircraft. When the climb height is not enough, you can pull the lift stick down. Until aircraft leave the ground and raise the head to climb, slowly release the lift stick after the flight altitude is 10 meters.
3. After releases the joystick, the aircraft’s nose will be slightly downward for less than a second due to inertia, and the head-weight phenomenon will appear. This is caused by the aircraft’s inertia. The gyroscope will immediately start to work and immediately keep the aircraft in a stable attitude.
4. When turning left and right during the flight, if the aircraft bows slightly or the steering range is too large, you can properly pull down the lifting joystick to repair it according to the flight attitude.

A500 receiver adopts GFSK communication mode, and two receiver conversion sockets are added. 5V is suitable for FUTABA (S-BUS) and other receivers with (S-BUS) ports, 3V is suitable for DSM receivers; other remote controls can be used to control the aircraft through conversion, and other remote controls must first set the 5th channel The switch position can be set by the user according to their own flight needs, and the  switch can switch between 3D lock mode or 6G attitude mode. Be careful not to insert it in the wrong position to avoid burning the receiving board due to incorrect voltage.
