16.8  If compass calibration fails

 

D

Compass calibration should be done at open outdoor area. The calibration process 

may fail due to magnetic interference from surrounding environment.

Failing of compass calibration is indicated by 3 prominent beep sounds (3 beeps). In case 

of failure:

1. 

Move away from magnetic interferences.

2. 

Disconnect the flight battery and re-connect it.

3.  Restart the procedure.

 

Successfully completed calibration procedures can be skipped.

17. Flying the Navigator 250

 

Before you install the battery, turn on the transmitter. An unbound aircraft is considered 

uncontrolled.

17.1  Visual inspection

 

Inspect  the  Navigator  250  for  damage  before  every  flight.  Replace  damaged 

components before flying again. Only use original spare parts.

 

Ensure the motor arms are fully unfolded in flying position and the locking screw/nuts 

are completely tightened. 

 

Ensure the propellers can freely rotate without hitting any parts of the Navigator 250 body.

 

Observe the condition of each motor:

 

Motor shaft

 

Motors can freely rotate

 

Propeller position and condition

 

Always replace defective parts immediately. 

 

If you are unsure about your product’s condition consult an experienced RC pilot or 

contact our customer support. Do not attempt any further flight until the Navigator 250 

is fit for flight.

17.2  Placement at start position

Place the Navigator 250 on a level surface (e.g. stone floor). Take note of chapter 

‘13. 

Protect your model’ on page 

14

.

17.3  Stick controls

Refer to chapter 

‘26. Terms’ on page 34

 and also study 

‘14.9 Controls’ on page 

21

17.4  Flying

 

D

Start with simple flight manoeuvers and gradually proceed to more challenging ones.

1. 

Place the Navigator 250 on even ground, wait and observe the GPS signal reception level. 

When taking off without GPS signal, the Navigator 250 

will land at the location where R.T.H. is triggered.

2.  Turn on the motors.

3. 

Check proper functioning of 

aileron

elevator

throttle

 and 

rudder

.

4. 

Increase throttle until the Navigator 250 is at least 50 cm above the ground.

 

At this height, you have passed the so-called ground effect and the Navigator 250 

is more stable in its flight position, thus can be controlled more easily.

 

Be careful when applying 

rudder

, which will rotate the Navigator 250 around 

its vertical centre axis, causing you to become disoriented. Study carefully how 

aileron

 and 

elevator

 behave after applying rudder.

5. 

You  have  now  managed  the  critical  part  and  can  familiarize  yourself  with  the 

Navigator 250 by gentle throttle motions.

6. 

To land, decrease the throttle slightly until it gravitates to the ground.

 

A somewhat solid touchdown is no problem and should not be corrected with 

jerky throttle movements.

 

Attempt to touch down vertically (“helicopter landing”). Avoid landing with high 

horizontal speeds (“airplane landing”) to prevent the legs from getting entangled, 

resulting in the Navigator 250 tumbling.

7. 

After landing, turn off the motors.

8. 

Disconnect the battery.
