MikroKopter ARF OktoXL, Instruction Manual

Page: 35 / 59

Functions / Flight modes
The ARF-MikroKopter has 5 individual settings. All 5 parameters are already set at the factory and need not
be changed.
Which channel / switch is provided for the activation of the individual functions please get out of the chapter Channel
assignment .
With the used GPS-System on the ARF-MikroKopter many additional features are possible. These
features make flying the Kopter much easier.
But for safety reason and in case of a technical disturbance of the GPS system, the pilot must
always be able to fly the ARF-MikroKopter without these additional features.
The GPS-Functions PositionHold, ComingHome, Teachable CareFree, FailSafe are only usable if a Sat-fix
is available and the compass as well as the GPS- receiving signal are working properly.
Solar storms, shading from buildings / mountains, strong magnetic fields or other influences can
disturb these functions. Please be aware!
To start and to land the ARF-MikroKopter the additional functions should be OFF.
The functions
The following functions can be activated during flight:
Free flight
This mode should be used for starting and landing. Because the ARF-MikroKopter stabilizes itself by its sensors
flying with no additional functions is quite easy.
For free flights without any additional functions the model pilot must handle in any situation the model aircraft safely in
the air.
Altitude control
The Altitude control can be activated / deactivated via the transmitter.
With the activated height regulator and Throttle-Stick in middle position
on the transmitter the ARF-MikroKopter will automatically hold the actual
altitude.
If you move the Throttle-Stick (slowly) upwards the Kopter begins
continuously to climb.
If you move the Throttle-Stick (slowly) downwards the Kopter begins
continuously to fall.
(assigned to a 2-way switch on the transmitter)
Both will be accompanied via the buzzer by a „tone interval“. If the Throttle-Stick will be moved back into the middle
position the Kopter will hold the actual altitude.
A switched ON altitude control can support the free flight. If GPS functions are used the altitude control should also be
activated.
Flying in windy conditions or with a very large payload may result in an oscillation of altitude, even if altitude
control is being used.
