NOTICE: Lower the landing gear at least 12′ above the landing area.

Step 2) Slowly lower the left-hand stick below the center position, TYPHOON H PLUS will descend slowly and land. After TYPHOON H PLUS lands, the motors will stop after 2 seconds without any operation.

Flight Control

Never attempt to operate the TYPHOON H PLUS near tall buildings /obstructions that do not over a clear view of the sky (a minimum clearance of 100°).

ANGLE MODE

When in Angle Mode and GPS is available, the TYPHOON H PLUS will respond according to the ST16S remote controller.

Tips: Fly low and slow initially. Slow(Lo Speed) position is ideal for precision flight. High-speed (Hi Speed) position is used when transiting broad areas.

SPORT MODE

The TYPHOON H PLUS has high reaction sensitivity in Sport Mode. The maximum flight speed of the aircraft is increased to 45mph (20m/s).

RTL MODE

When in RTL Mode, TYPHOON H PLUS will return to the home point and automatically lower the retractable gear to land.

TASK MODE

Follow Me
The Follow Me function allows the TYPHOON H PLUS to follow the pilot, adjusting its location to the location of the ST16S Ground Station.

CCC (Curve Cable Cam)
Curve Cable Cam allows you to create an invisible route for TYPHOON H PLUS to fly along. Once the pilot sets the points, the TYPHOON H PLUS will fly the set coordinates while remembering the heading.

POI (Point of Interest)
Point of Interest allows the pilot to select a subject they would like to orbit and have TYPHOON H PLUS orbit that subject autonomously

JOUR
Journey function enables TYPHOON H PLUS to capture the perfect aerial selfie easier and faster. Depending on the pilot’s desired setting, TYPHOON H PLUS will go up, out and return.
