3.1 Preparing the Aircraft
All aircraft arms are folded before the aircraft is packaged. Follow the steps
below to unfold the aircraft arms.
Unfold the drone before flying
- Unfold the upper arm before unfolding the lower arm
- Before powering on the aircraft, ensure that the front and rear arms are extended and the camera is placed on the horizontal ground. Ensure that there is sufficient space under the camera to prevent the camera angle from being stuck to the ground during the self-check
3.2 Three Gears Speed of the Aircraft
-
The F7GB2 has 3 speed ranges 14.76 ft/s, 29.53 ft/s, and 39.37 ft/s. The default speed is medium speed. Turn the speed wheel to the right to adjust the flight speed up to 8437ft/s. and turn the wheel to the left to slow the aircraft down to 14.76 ft/s,which provides diverse flight experience and meets various needs with speed.
A. When wind speed is high, high speed flight should be maintained to improve wind resistance effect. -
When flying with fast gear. the pilot should reserve at least 3 meters of braking distance to ensure flight safety when flying in windy conditions.
-
When using the fast gear for flight, the power of the aircraft will be greatly improved. and the operation of the remote lever on the transmitter will lead to the large flight action of the aircraft. During the actual flight, the pilot reserves enough flying space to ensure the safety of the flight
3.3 Calibration and Aircraft Status Indicator

Front Iswhiteand rear is green light| White and green lights are blinking
fast| Gyroscope/level calibration is required
Front is whiteand rear is green light| White and green lights always turn on|
GPS signal is detected and take-off conditions are met
3.4 Return to Home
The return-to-home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last
recorded home point There are 3 types of RTH: smart RTH, tow battery RTH, and
signal disconnection RTH. If you activate the RTH function under the condition
that the aircraft successfully recorded the home point and GPS signal is good,
the aircraft will automatically return to the home point and land.
**** | GPS | Description |
---|---|---|
Home Point | Using 5 bars of signal | When flying outdoors, the GPS signal icon |
is displayed with 3 bars or more for the first time, and the take-off location will record the aircraft’s current position as the home point. During the flight, if the aircraft lands at a new location, the point from which you retook off will become the latest home point, and the aircraft will return to the latest home point.
Smart RTH
When the pilot needs the aircraft to return home automatically, he can click
the smart RTH button on transmitter , or tap the return home icon on the Bwine
Drone APP to activate RTH. You can short-press , on transmitter or tap on the
Bwine Drone APP again to exit RTH during the return. Then you can control the
aircraft again.
When the aircraft executes smart RTH within a radius of 98 feet (30 meters),
and the aircraft will return from the current altitude to the take-off point.
(Pay attention to maintaining the flying height to avoid hitting people or
obstacles)
When
the aircraft returns to the home point beyond the 98 feet (30 meters) radius,
if the return altitude is not set and the aircraft is flying below 65 feet (20
meters), it will automatically fly up to the default return altitude of 65
feet (20 meters) before returning home.When the aircraft returns home 98.43 feet(30 meters)
away, if the RTH altitude is set (before flight), the aircraft will ascend to
the attitude already set before returning to the take-off point, if the
current altitude of the aircraft is lower than the RTH altitude. The aircraft
will return to the home point from the current altitude, if the current
altitude of the aircraft is higher than the RTH altitude.
The
aircraft is not equipped with obstacle avoidance function. Please judge the
flight status reasonably during the flight. Avoid obstacles in time, and set
the corresponding flight and return altitude according to the flight
environment.
Low Battery RTH
When the intelligent flight battery is too low or there is not enough power to
return home, the user should land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid
damage to the aircraft or other dangers.
In order to prevent unnecessary dangers due to insufficient battery power,
when the aircraft battery power is low, the intelligent low battery return
home function will be automatically triggered. According to the remaining
power after returning, there are 2 situations after returning:
- First-level low battery: the aircraft returns to the point 98 feet(30 meters) above the take off point and hover. After hovering, you can continue flying the aircraft at a height of 98 feet (30 meters) and within a radius of 30 98 feet(30 meters).
- Second-level low battery: the aircraft will fly directly from the current altitude to the point 98 feet(30 meters) above the home point and then descend to the ground.
- Must pay attention to the flight altitude when the battery is low. Avoid hitting obstacles due to the low flying altitude when returning home with the second-level low battery.
- The remaining power after returning is related to the return distance, wind speed, and wind direction.
- Lost Signal RTH
When the transmitter has low battery or is turned off or loses signal for 6 seconds, the aircraft will enter the auto-return mode and return to the take- off point. If the signal is recovered during the process of returning, the aircraft will stop returning and rebind with the transmitter signal, and the transmitter can control the aircraft again at this time. Automatic return-to- home process when signal is lost:
- Aircraft stores its position when taking off after the GPS signal is successfully received, and records it as the home point.
- Trigger RTH (triggered by low battery of transmitter, signal loss, etc.).
- After triggering the return-to-home function, the aircraft adjusts the nose direction and starts to return home.
- The aircraft automatically flies to the top of the home point, then starts to land, and completes the home return.
