AscTec Hummingbird with AutoPilot User’s Manual
2 Things to do before the first flight
The AscTec Hummingbird w/ AutoPilot comes com-
pletely assembled and tested. You only have to do the
following steps to make it work in combination with
your equipment.
2.1 Mounting the propellers
The propellers can be slid over the axles and be faste-
ned using a plastic nut. Do not fasten the nut too tight,
as this would bend the propellers.
Please note that there are two types of propellers: One
pair of propellers is spinning clockwise, the other pair
is spinning counterclockwise. The propellers spin-
ning clockwise must be mounted to the front and
the rear motor, whereas the counterclockwise rotating
propellers must be mounted to the left and to the right
motor.
To improve the durability of the propellers during a
crash you can optionally add a cable tie (e.g. 2.5 x
100 mm) as seen in the following picture.
2.2 Preparing your own
battery
You need a 3s (three cells, 11.1V) Lithium Polymer
(LiPo) Battery to operate the AscTec Hummingbird.
We recommend capacities between 1500 and 2100
