1.3 Prepare F450
F450 ARF set is packed by aluminium case with all accessories installed, including parameters of
transmitter and fight controller are done setting. When receive the set, all pilots need is to plug fully-charged
lithium batteries in the transmitter and the aircraft and then it is ready to fly.
If the aircraft is left unused for a long time, it is strongly advisable to uninstall the propellers with the
professional tool packed in the set and to (dis)charge the batteries to best storage status, that is, 3.8V per cell
to avoid unexpected damage and to extend the product life span.
1.4 Prepare Transmitter
F450 has two versions, including stand-alone version and ARF version.
①
pilots who purchase the stand-alone version, please follow the appropriate transmitter manual to install
the receiver and bind the aircraft with the transmitter after receiving F450.
②
ARF version includes the standard version with 8CH transmitter T8FB and the advanced version with
10/12CH transmitter AT9S.
Always ensure all batteries have been properly charged prior to using the transmitter. T8FB works with
Lithium 2S-4S battery or 4 pieces AA battery while AT9S/AT10II works with Lithium 2S-4S battery or 8 pieces
AA battery. To avoid batteries over discharged, alarm of low voltage can be set after connecting plug batteries
in transmitter.
T8FB is developed as self-adapted alarm by default and it will automatically give an alarm when the
voltage becomes low depending on either 2S or 3S battery pilots use. As to AT9S/AT10II, please press
“MODE”to enter the BASIC MENU => Select “PARAMETER”and enter=> Set “TX-ALARM” according to the
actual battery used. For example, if batteries used in pilots transmitter is 2S, then it’s 4.2V*2S=8.4V when fully
charged. As the voltage of a single cell is 3.7V, we usually set the low voltage alarm as 3.7V*2S=7.4V.
Chapter 2 Aircraft Setup
F450 consists of flight controller system, remote controller system, GPS system, power system, image
transmission system. This chapter is about the aircraft’s components and the feature of each function.
2.1 ARF Version Setup
RadioLink F450 has two versions, including stand-alone version and ARF version.
ARF version means Almost Ready to Fly. Pilots only need to power on the transmitter and the aircraft and
unlock the both prior to flight.
2.1.1 Basic Operation of the Transmitter
As the aircraft is controlled to realize all movements by operating the remote controller, it’s important to
know its basic operation.
Remote controller is also called transmitter and should work with a receiver. Transmitter in a pilot’s hand
and receiver in an aircraft to work as the flight controller system. Currently transmitters on the market are
2.4GHz
(
2400MHz~2483.5MHz
)
.
The 4 basic channels of all transmitters are always the same: CH1- Aileron/Roll; CH2- Elevator/Pitching;
CH3-Throttle; CH4-Rudder.
