Preparing the 350 QX2 AP For Flight
CAUTION:
When the home location is set (
step 6
), the 350 QX2 AP must be approximately 16 feet (5 meters) from where the pilot will stand during fl ight,
pointing away from the pilot. If the aircraft is pointed in any other direction, the
SAFE Circle
feature will not function as expected and may result in personal
injury or damage to property. Once the aircraft’s motors are started, do not change your position.
1. Power on the transmitter with the fl ight mode set to
Smart Mode
and the throttle stick down.
2. Install a charged battery, plug it in and close the hatch.
3. With the quad on a level surface, turn on the power
switch and allow the 350 QX2 AP to initialize.
If the GPS is enabled, wait for the GPS signal to be
acquired, which is indicated by a solid green LED. It
may take from 30–90 seconds to acquire a GPS signal.
IMPORTANT:
While in
Smart Mode
the motors will not
start if a GPS signal has not been acquired.
4. Move the aircraft to the desired home location and
orient the aircraft pointed away from the pilot.
5. Step back approximately 16 feet (5 meters) from the
home location.
6. When you are prepared to fl y, you have two options to
start the motors:
• Move the rudder stick full left, then full right, then
back to center.
• Move both sticks into the bottom inside corners,
then back to center.
7. The props will begin to spin. The home position for GPS
functions is set and your aircraft is ready to fl y.
Lower the throttle stick and hold the bind button for
1 second to power off the props after fl ight.

Flying the 350 QX2 AP
Takeoff
Increase the throttle slightly above low stick (10–15%).
The 350 QX2 AP altitude in
Smart Mode
corresponds
to the throttle position. Low throttle is on the ground,
slightly raising the throttle will produce a low hover, and
the higher the throttle position, the higher the 350 QX2
AP will ascend until it reaches its maximum altitude
(approximately 45 meters).
Explore the fl ight envelope of the 350 QX2 AP in
Smart Mode
without fear of losing orientation. See
the diagrams in the
Flight Modes Explained
section for
more details on the aircraft’s function in
Smart Mode.
In
Smart Mode,
the direction the aircraft is pointing
does not affect the control, and the aircraft’s response
relative to you (
the pilot location
) does not change with
orientation.
AP Mode
and
Stability Mode
operate more
like a conventional RC helicopter or multicopter.
