Recharging the flight battery
Disconnect the connector from the model to the battery. Plug the charger (A)
into an AC outlet and the 12 V output from the converter into the charger box
(B). Both of the red (power) and green (charger) indicators will illuminate
indicating that the charger is ready. The Power Indicator indicates that the
power supply is connected and the Charger Indicator shows the output voltage
Connect the LiPo battery (C) to the balancer socket (3 pole) of the charger.
The charging indicator will change the color to show it is charging. Once the
charging indicator changin the color again, charge has been completed. In case
the charging indi-cator on the charger does not change the color once you have
connected the battery pack, then the battery pack is already fully charged.
The charging process should take approx. 180 min. and should give you approx.
7 – 10 min. flying time.
Important!
Let the model cool off sufficiently after each use before putting it back into
operation. When using an additional batte-ries let it cool off for minimum 8
minutes until the model is operated again. Overheating can damage the
electronics or may result in fire.
Note :
If the battery heats up during charging, disconnect it. Failure to do so may
destroy the battery. After flying the battery will be hot, allow it to cool
for app. 30 minutes before charging. Never allow batteries to come into
contact with open fire as this may cause the batteries to explode.
Attention
The model allows a very high payload. Various devices such as support devices,
carriage supports etc can be assembled. The max. additional load are up to 350
grams. The load should be fastened to the underside of the model, and must be
well balanced. Note that the max. battery life will be reduced significantly
Binding the Model with the Transmitter
-
Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Connect the battery with the model and close the battery compartment. Switch on the model and places the model on level surface. It should start blinking to show it is in binding mode.
-
Leave both control sticks in neutral position and switch on the Transmitter. The Transmitter will blink and is then in calibrating mode for the left control stick. Push the left control stick forward, then right back and let it go back into
neutral position. The Transmitter should stop blinking, the model is bound and the left control stick is calibrated. Before each start should an auto- calibration function (see page 5). -
To unlock the model press both control sticks 45 degree down and outwards or down and inside (see pic 3). The rotor blades will start turning in idle and ready to lift off.
-
The model now reacts tot he control input of the transmitter (check flight exercise page 6/7).
-
To land the model pull the left control stick down. Once landed and the left control stick is still pressed downwards and the modell ist full landing, the rotors will stop turning and the model is secured.
-
The model can also be secured instantly if required e.g. in an emergency situation. Press the emergency stop button about 3 sekonds (see pic. 6). In case the model is still in the air while performing this input it will crash to the floor.
-
To completely switch off the model, always switch off the model first and remove the battery. Hold down the On/ Off switch on the transmitter to switch the transmitter off.
Automatic calibration
In case the model is not trimable or reacts uncontrollable perform the auto- calibration. It is advisable to perform this operation before every start.
- Make sure that all trim controls are in neutral (page 5), the neutral position is signalled by a longer beep.
- Place the model on level surface and bring both control sticks 45° to the bottom left for approx. 6 seconds until the LEDs on the model blinking.
- Bring both control sticks 45° to the bottom right for approx. 6 seconds until the LEDs on the model blinking. Let go the control sticks back to neutral and the lights on the model stop blinking and keep shining – this indicates that the automatic calibration was successful. By this calibration the compass direction automatically gets set in the direction in which the model shows during the calibration process.
Trimming the model
Let the model hover in one spot and watch the changes by pressing the
respective trim controls.
Depending on the condition of the battery you need to get the model regularly
trimmed to get a stable flight.
Trimming the model
Practice simulation flight
The motor revolution is not controlled via the throttle stick (left control
stick), it is controlled via a barometer controlled automatic height control.
This means you only decide if the model should lift or lower. Once you bring
the left control stick back into neutral the model will hold the height.
Please be aware that the height control is controlled via a Barometer. This
means any changes (to air pressure or temperature) will influence the
predetermined height. The barometer might require a few seconds to the rotor
speed to adapt as move into a descent. It is important that you start with a
delay not command again but the throttle so long in the desired position to
hold the barometer which adjusts rotor speed. Before flying with the model
check first about its control functions and perform some exercises. Place the
model with the back facing to you on a flat surface. Practice only to hover.
Then, you try to change the position of the model using the right stick
(forward, backward, side-ways) and possibly correct the flight. At last, you
should practice turning the model around its own axis with the left stick. If
you have mastered the basic functions of the model you can perform your first
controlled flight.
-
Combination of gas, rudder, roll and pitch
After you are into the different control methods of the model now you can try to combine the various controls. -
Change of flight perspective
After you master the flying of the model of the view from the rear of the model it is time to practice the flight from the side of the model and from facing towards to the model. Remember, you need to invert the controls (vice versa).
Aerial Flip Tips
During flight, press the right button once and you will hear a signal sound.
Swing the model in the air in the direction you would like to perform the
flip. As soon as the model is tilted the flip is performed. You should only
perform this maneuver with the model having enough height as the model will
loose a certain amount of altitude and needs to have a certain height to
stabilise.
Mode 4
If you hold the top left button a few seconds, you can switch between Mode 2
and Mode 4. Rudder and left/right roll will get swapped. To switch back to
Mode 2, repeat the procedure.
Beginners/advanced/expert mode
By pressing the speed control stick on the transmitter you will be able to
choose from 3 flight modes.
-
Beginner mode (1 x beep)
The model has small deflexions, controls are performed smoothly. -
Advanced mode (2 x beep)
The deflexions are higher, controls are performed directly. -
Expert mode (3 x beep)
Full deflexion on model, controls are performed aggressively.
Compass & Flyback function
Your model has a Compass & Flyback function. This means it is able to keep the desired flyback direction even if it turns in another direction during flight (the front does not face the flight direction anymore) and flies back to you semi-automatic.
First steps:
First of all you should choose the direction that you want to save in the
compass of the model. This direction is used by the compass as the main flight
direction. For example, you fly along a straight street and would like to use
the compass mode; you have to choose the direction of the street as the main
flight direction. Now if you are using the compass mode to follow a moving
object you do not have to waste a thought on the flying direction of the
model. If you push the steering stick to the front the model will fly away
from you. If you pull the steering stick to the back the model will fly back
to you following the direction of the street (Compass function).
Setting up the Compass & Flyback mode:
The direction in which the model is facing at the first start is saved as
Compass direction. The Compass & Flyback function can only be activated while
the model is in the air and by pressing the Compass (A)/Flyback (B) button on
your remote control. Indicated by the LEDs and sound from the remote control
the model is entering Compass & Flyback mode. The model now automatically
follows the programmed compass direction in Flyback mode regardless in which
direction it is facing until you move the right control stick. After moving
the right control stick the model is automatically in Compass Mode for you to
control it on the compass direction. During use of the Compass & Flyback
function you need to control the altitude with the throttle stick.
