250 FPV QUAD RACER USER'S GUIDE

Find It! Locator Port

 - This Port is used to plug the optional Hobby People Find It! Locator. Featuring lights and sound, 

the Find It! Locator is used to help you find your Quad Racer should it be lost during flight.

Flexi Port

 - The Flexi Port is configurable and provides either I2C connectivity or a second serial Port. 

FPV Camera

 - The Batfly 250 FPV Quad Racer features a 1000TVL color HD camera connected to the FPV system, 

providing you a high-quality First Person View during flight.

FPV OSD Adjust Button

 - Press to adjust the FPV Receiver Monitor’s OSD (On-Screen Display). Press and HOLD 

to switch 5.8GHz FPV frequencies.

LED Headlight

 - This front-mounted LED headlight is extremely bright, resulting in awesome visibility during flight.

LED ON/OFF Switch

 - Used to turn the LED headlight and tail light ON and OFF and change the colors of the tail light.

LED Tail Light

 - The LED tail light features six extremely bright LEDs that provide amazing visibility during flight. One 

of seven different colors can be selected remotely during flight or manually using the LED ON/OFF Switch.

Main Port

 - The Main Port is configurable and can support serial telemetry (default), GPS, S.Bus and Spektrum/JR 

satellites.

Mini USB Port

 - Used to connect the Flight Controller to your PC or laptop to change programming or update firmware. 

Power Connector

 - Used to plug in the LiPo flight battery. This is an XT60 style connector, which features gold-plated 

connectors for minimal current loss.

Receiver

 - Receives and processes the signals from the transmitter to control the Batfly 250 FPV Quad Racer. The 

Ready-to-Fly version includes a lightweight 6-channel micro receiver.

Receiver Antenna

 - Receives the RF signal from the transmitter. The receiver antenna should be left extended as 

straight as possible. Don’t repeatedly bend or kink the antenna, or you could damage it.

Receiver Input Port

Racer’s various functions.

This section details the final assembly of your Batfly 250 FPV Quad Racer. Because not all sections are pertinent to 

all versions, follow the sections that pertain to your version as described in the section header - either All Versions, Kit 

Version, Receiver-Ready Version or Ready-to-Fly Version. Sections that don't pertain to your version can be skipped.

InSTALLInG ThE FPV CAmERA AnD VIDEo TRAnSmITTER (kIT VERSIon)

This section describes installing the FPV camera and 5.8GHz video transmitter. To ensure compatibility, we recommend 

using the Hobby People 1000TVL Color HD FPV Camera (P/N 116259) and the Hobby People 5.8GHz FPV Video 

Transmitter (P/N 116258). These parts are designed for plug-and-play installation without need for modification.

If you’re using different FPV equipment, the details in this section may differ and/or you may need to modify the 

Quad Racer’s frame to accommodate your equipment.

1) Carefully remove the external camera mount and the four vibration isolators 

from the top plate.

2) Using a 2.0mm hex wrench, unscrew the ten M2.5 x 5mm socket-cap screws 

that hold the top plate in place, then remove the top plate.

3) Plug one end of the power cable (red/black) into the FPV Video Transmitter, 

then mount the FPV Video Transmitter to the underside of the top plate.
