First Flight Preparation • Remove and inspect contents • Begin charging the flight battery • Assemble the aircraft • Program your computer transmitter • Install the flight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged) • Bind your transmitter • Familiarize yourself with the controls • Find a suitable area for flying Flying Checklist ❏❏Always turn the transmitter on first ❏❏Plug the flight battery into the lead from the ESC ❏❏Allow the ESC to initialize and arm properly ❏❏Fly the model ❏❏Land the
Charging Warnings WARNING: Failure to comply with the following warnings could result in product malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat, FIRE, and ultimately injury and property damage. • NEVER LEAVE CHARGING BATTERIES UNATTENDED. • NEVER CHARGE BATTERIES OVERNIGHT. • Never charge damaged batteries. If the battery begins to swell during charging or use, discontinue immediately. • Always use the included battery and charger. Disconnect the battery after charging.
Installing the Propellers 1. Refer to the illustration for the proper motor rotation and propeller location. CounterClockwise Clockwise 2. The propellers are press fit onto the motor shafts. Remove the propellers by pulling the center hub straight up away from the motor. 3. Install the propellers by pressing the center hub over the motor shaft, being careful not to press it too far down on the shaft. The propeller and motor should spin freely when installed correctly.
Install the Flight Battery 1 Throttle down 2 Power ON 3 4 CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when the batteries are charged.
BNF Transmitter Setup If you are using a computer transmitter, set the model type to “Acro” or “Airplane” mode. In the channel input menu, set channel 6 (Aux1) to a momentary switch such as the bind button ( I ) and channel 5 (Gear) to a 3-position switch (switch B). In the Servo Setup menu, reverse channel 6 (Aux1). Bind the quadcopter to your transmitter following the Transmitter and Receiver Binding directions below. Transmitter and Receiver Binding General Binding Procedure (BNF®) 1.
Understanding the Primary Flight Controls If you are not familiar with the controls of your quadcopter, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with them before attempting your first flight.
Elevator Left Side View Elevator up/down Pitches Forward Pitches Backward Aileron Rear View Aileron left/right Rolls Left 13 Rolls Right EN
Flight Mode Selection Cycle between the flight modes by changing the position of the flight mode switch as programmed in the binding section above. The active flight mode is indicated by the LED taillight on the quadcopter*. • Safe mode (blue LED, switch position 0): The bank angle is limited. When the sticks are released, the quadcopter will return to level flight.
Fly the Quadcopter The LEDs indicate the front and back of the quadcopter. The white LEDs indicate the front. The red LEDs and tail light indicate the back. Takeoff Arm the motors by pressing the arming switch. Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a lowlevel hover and concentrate on balancing the throttle stick’s position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude.
• If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim in the opposite direction. • If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim in the opposite direction. Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little drifting and directional control input. If this is your first multicopter or helicopter, seek the help of an experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your first flight.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Once the battery reaches 3V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately once the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty. Repeatedly flying the aircraft until LVC activates will damage the flight battery.
Changing the Center LED Taillight Color To change the color of the center LED taillight: 1. Power on the transmitter. 2. Power on the quadcopter. DO NOT arm the motors. 3. Push both transmitter sticks fully forward and hold for 3 seconds. The taillight on the quadcopter will flash continuously. 4. Push the aileron stick right or left to choose the desired taillight color. 5. Pull both transmitter sticks fully back and hold for 1 second to save the desired color.
On Screen Display Flight Mode Pilot Name Band Battery Voltage Flight Time Channel Flight Controller Status When powering up the aircraft to fly, the OSD will display the flight status in the upper left corner. When the aircraft has a solid connection to the RC controller, the OSD will display DISARMED Once the aircraft is armed, the OSD will be display the Flight Mode in the upper left corner.
The video transmitter installed in the BNF FPV version includes an integrated On Screen Display system (OSD). The OSD delivers the pilot useful information on the video display. The OSD shows the Flight Mode, time aloft, and voltage. A call sign is also available on the OSD to display your HAM call sign to satisfy amateur radio rules. The video transmitter frequency and power output can be set directly from compatible Spektrum transmitters or set in the OSD menu.
