Start FPV Flight

Start by powering on your Radio and Goggles. NOVICE-II comes already bound to your radio and on the right video channel matched with your goggles. Power on NOVICE-II by sliding the battery into the battery tray and plugging it in. Once the battery is plugged in, set NOVICE-II on a stable surface so it can calibrate. Calibration takes a few seconds then NOVICE-II is ready to fly.

1. Install 4x AA 1.5v battery to the radio and push the power switch to turn on the radio. If the throttle stick was not at the bottom position the radioter will alarm.
   

2. Connect the battery for the NOVICE-II
   

3. Turn on the Vr009 goggles and check the Video

4. Toggle SWA(AUX1) switch to arm the NOVICE-II , you will find “ARMED” notice in the screen of the Goggles. Recommend Toggle SWC(AUX2) to choose Stable mode for the beginner. Happy flight and keep it safe.
   

5. Toggle SWC(AUX2) switch to select flight mode (Default is Acro mode)
   

Charger the Lipo Battery

⚠ Ports are numbered 1-6. Do not put more than one battery on a single port. For example: do not insert one battery on the Picoblade 1.25 plug and another on the same port with the PH 2.0 plug.

Flight and Radio Stick Controls

Always use caution when flying and operate in an open and controllable area. Please learn the flight controls first before powering on the aircraft to fly. The left stick controls throttle and yaw direction of NOVICE-II. The right stick controls pitch and roll of the aircraft.

Binding procedure

1. Plug the usb and go to the CLI command tab in the betaflight configurator, then type “bind_rx_spi”,the receiver will getting into bind mode , and then make your Flysky radio to bind mode.
   

2. Please Ensure the RX setup of your transmitter is in AFHDS 2A Mode. Then get your transmitter into binding mode Turn on the transmitter while holding the bind button. The White and red LED on the flight controller should blinking fast first and then blinking slowly, this indicates binding successfully. Now you need to exit binding mode of the transmitter and re-connect the Novice-II to the computer, then the Red and white LED should be getting to be solid , this indicates the connection was established between the NOVICE-II and your transmitter.
   
   

Receiver configuration

Please set Receiver mode to be SPI RX Support from the Configuration tab of the Betaflight Configurator, then select A7105_Flysky_2A Provider for AFHDS-2A Protocol Radio transmitter or Select A7105_Flysky Provider for AFHDS Protocol Radio transmitter, don’t enable Serial RX since the Flight controller is integrated SPI BUS Receiver

VTX Bands and Channels setup

Notes:
Default vtx setting is 200mw but the VTX power LED indicate will always show 25mw when the quad was disarmed, because we have “set vtx_low_power_disarm=on”

There are 3 ways to switch the vtx channels:

1. Short press to choose the VTX channel, press and holding the button to Choose the VTX Band (Can’t save , it will lost the channel while power off)

2. Go to Betaflight CLI ,type the command:
   Set vtx_band=3 Set vtx_channel=1 Set vtx_freq=5705 save Notes: The vtx_freq should match the vtx_band and vtx_channle as the VTX Channel list shows. For example, if you set vtx_freq=5732, you should set vtx_band=5 and VTX_channel=3

3. Enable Smartaudio for UART2, then move the stick of the transmitter (THR MID+ YAW LEFT+ PITCH UP) to enter OSD Menu, Enter to Features, then enter to VTX SA to set VTX Band and channel
