After storing the battery wire, the battery compartment cover can fit with the body.
! Make sure the power battery is fully charged before flying.

! Before take-off, please check whether the battery compartment is fully fitted with the body to avoid falling off during high-speed flight.

1. Calibrate Magnetic Compass: open app to enter sensor interface, click magnetic compass and calibrate step by step; first place the aircraft according to the figure, and then rotate the aircraft anticlockwise. 2. Calibrate the airspeed meter: cover the air inlet of the airspeed meter first, and then gently blow the air into the airspeed meter after the prompt “please blow gently aim at the air inlet of the airspeed meter”.

In order to give customers the ultimate experience of fixed wing aerial photography, a 68mm × 50mm mobile camera installation slot is reserved in the head, which can be expanded to obtain better flight video. If you do not install a action camera, please tie the weight lead to get a more stable FPV flight experience. 1. Place the camera in the slot reserved for the camera. 2. Tie the Velcro strap to the action camera. 3. Press the video key before flying.

binding action Camera

In order to ensure that the aircraft can quickly get GPS and then into 3D lock state, it is recommended that you install the camera when the aircraft can be switched to position mode.
It can support GoPro 5, 6, 7, 8; DJI action.
! The head part needs lead counterweight (the maximum load weight is about 120g).

*Action camera is not included in the factory standard. If necessary, please purchase it separately.

1. The propeller rotates clockwise / anticlockwise. Pay attention to the blade identification during installation: the black nut is clockwise, and the white nut is counterclockwise.

2. The propeller with clockwise rotation is fixed by anticlockwise rotation; the propeller with counter clockwise rotation is fixed by clockwise. Make sure the blades are tightened before takeoff.
