Seahorse EX-2 Cuta-Copter Kontiki Drone
Thanks for purchasing your Seahorse EX-2
CutaCopter Kontiki Drone. These fishing
drones are the culmination of many years of
development to ensure your drone fishing
experience is both safe, enjoyable and
successful.
Fishing Drones combine the technology of
avionics, electronics and robotics to create a flying machine. We add complexity by pulling a line
from the beach over water. When flying a drone, you are a pilot with all the responsibilities that go
with that. This includes ensuring everything is in good working order and operating and responding
correctly before flying. If you have any concerns or worries while flying, release the load and return
the KontikiDrone to the beach to land.
Remember - Always perform the pre-flight checklist.
Seahorse recommends you follow the training guide in this manual and only proceed to the next
stage after you have mastered the current stage. You need to be comfortable flying so you can
correctly respond to the actions of the KontikiDrone.
Seahorse offers one-on-one learn-to-fly lessons to teach the basics of drone flying. Details are on
our website –
Read and understand the manual before attempting to fly. This manual contains several warnings.
This is based on what we have learnt the hard (and expensive) way. There is little room for error
with flying and if you are not careful you could crash and maybe lose your KontikiDrone.
Your new Seahorse KontikiDrone has passed it’s Quality Assurance checks and have completed
several test flights before being released for sale.
PAYLOAD
The EX-2 is a very powerful fishing drone and can lift large baits or payloads. The EX-2 will happily
pull 25 hooks out to 1000 metres or carry a large single bait up to 2.5kg’s over a shorter distance.
Most people are finding 13 hooks (one side of the traceboard is a good working number and this
allows a larger weight to be used.
As the load increases, the flight characteristics of the drone will change including makes it slower
to respond to control inputs. Larger payloads will result in higher wear and tear on the battery,
frame and motors. Flight time is also reduced and your stress levels will be higher. It is best to
develop your skills so you are experienced and comfortable before attempting large payloads.
