Using the Video Transmitter

Preparing the Scimitar 215 Quadcopter for Flight

1. Before each ﬂ ight, ALWAYS power on the transmitter before connecting the ﬂ ight battery to the quadcopter. After each

ﬂ ight, disconnect the ﬂ ight battery from the quadcopter before powering off the transmitter.

NOTICE: Connecting the ﬂ ight battery before powering on the transmitter can start the binding process. Please see the

Transmitter and Receiver Binding section of this manual for more information.

2. When the ESC beeps, the ﬂ ight controller is initialized and ready for ﬂ ight.

The ﬂ ight controller will not arm the motors until the throttle stick is in the lowest possible position.

• In angle mode (switch position 0 ), the quadcopter will self-level and has a bank angle limit of approximately 60 degrees.

• In air mode (switch position 1), the quadcopter will not self-level and does not have a bank angle limit. At low throttle, the

ﬂ ight controller will continue to stabilize the quadcopter to hold whatever attitude was last commanded. This mode is use-

ful for ﬂ ying smooth aerobatic maneuvers at both high and low throttle settings.

• In acro mode (switch position 2 ), the quadcopter will not self-level and does not have a bank angle limit. At low throttle, the

ﬂ ight controller will not stabilize the quadcopter. The pilot must actively control the quadcopter to maintain a desired at-

titude. This mode is most preferred when immediate changes in altitude are desired, such as in racing. Use rates and expo

to tune the performance according to your ﬂ ying style.

Refer to the Transmitter Setup for transmitter switch selection and speciﬁ c setup information.

Flight Mode and Rate Selection

Available Frequencies, North America (mHz)

Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment.

In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are

responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner.

See the Available Frequency table to ﬁ nd the desired video channel and

band. The video transmitter channel and band are changed using the buttons

on the top of the quadcopter, as shown. There are two rows of LEDs visible

through the LED window. The row of red LEDs indicates the channel selected

(1-8). The row of blue LEDs indicates the selected band (A, B, E, F, R). The

green LEDs indicate the video transmitter output power level selected.

Only change the video channel and band when the video

transmitter is not transmitting a signal or is in Pit Mode.

If any of the green LEDs are glowing solid, see the

directions below to stop transmitting a video signal prior

to changing the channel or band.

Channel and Band Selection:

1. A short press of button B will change channels.

Quickly press and release the button once for each

channel until the desired channel is reached.

2. A long press of button B will change the band. Press

and hold button B for several seconds and release for

each band change.

Power Level Selection

†

1. Press and hold button A to change the power output. All

green LEDs off means RF is off, one ﬂ ashing green LED is

Pit Mode, one solid green LED is 25mW, two solid green

LEDs is 200mW, three solid green LEDs is 600mW.
