Quick start Guide

3. How to Fly
1. Controls
2. Modes
① Fly – Normal switch position for flight.
② Home – Return to Home. Craft will return to original take off location.
③ Hover – Hover in place. Craft will hold position and can be controlled with hover controls. Craft uses GPS to auto-
stabilize itself. Ensure GPS has clear signal, free of buildings and trees etc.
④ Smart – Same as Hover except, craft will react to direction inputs regardless of orientation. i.e. even if the craft is turned
sideways, pulling back on the right stick will bring the craft back.
⑤ Acro – Use for forward flight. Craft is stabilized but does not use GPS to hold a hover position. In forward flight, craft will
pitch forward up to 75°
Auto (set via Mission Planner (Windows) or QGroundControl (Windows/Mac) - Autonomous mission. X PlusOne will fly the
flight plan saved to the autopilot.
Guided (set via Mission Planner/QGroundControl) - Ground station controlled flight. X PlusOne will fly to waypoints sent
from the ground station in real time.
Follow Me (Ground stations with GPS required) - Follows ground station. X PlusOne will follow the ground station as you
move. Install “3DR Services” and “Tower” apps on smartphone to connect with craft.
3. Take-off
a) Set the throttle all the way down and all mode switches up
b) (Ai Only) Press and hold the safety switch next to the battery compartment until it turns solid red.
c) (Ai Only) Ensure that the craft has a GPS signal by checking for a blue light inside the compass unit.
d) Arm the motors by holding the throttle down and right.
