Keyboard and Joystick Hatch
When you give the wing-nut connector a 1/2 turn it will release the joystick into the joystick bay. This needs to
happen for the case to be able to close.
The Keyboard hatch allows you to access:
•
Battery Packs and Parallel Anderson Plugs
•
Fuse Blocks. There are two 10A fuses and one 15A fuse.
•
Auxiliary Bay # 2 (Default Cables) - 12V Power / 2 SMA Antenna / LAN Cable
Note: The system was designed to be able to “Hot Swap” battery packs while in use. This allows you to
continue on long-endurance flights and missions. This is when you take one of the two packs out and replace it
with a fresh pack. You will see the battery meter automatically increase.
While it is possible to “Hot Swap” we highly advise alternative solutions such as plugging the power supply in
from a AC Main wall outlet/generator. Or turning o

the 12PCX when swapping out batteries.
