Practice with the Drone
The EX-2 is a large drone and you need a large area to comfortably fly it. Seahorse recommends
performing your practice flights in a park or other open area (school sports field). Drones are
affected by the wind, so it is better to practice on a calm day that is not too windy.
Always turn the Transmitter on before plugging a battery into the Drone.
Practice 1
Practice ARM and DISARMING the motors to see how the motors react to the commands.
You can do this with either no props or with props on the motors.
This can be done with the Transmitter and the App.
Practice 2
Practice take off, hover and landing.
•
It is easiest to stand 5 to 10 metres behind the drone.
•
Control the joysticks with a loose pinch grip, pushing the joysticks in the direction needed.
Do not use with your thumbs pressing on top of the joysticks as this is unstable and causes
erratic flight.
•
Arm the motors.
•
Once the motors start, slowly apply throttle until it is just above halfway (say 60%) the
Drone should slowly lift off.
•
Apply some more throttle and the drone will increase the rate of climb. In Loiter mode,
there will be a slight delay in responding to the throttle.
•
Take off to five to ten metres and ease the throttle back to the centre and hover.
•
When ready – reduce the throttle slowly to just below halfway (say 40%) and the drone will
start to lose altitude – remember there is a slight delay to responding to the throttle
•
Once the drone has landed pull the throttle down to zero and the motors should turn off
automatically.
•
DISARM if required.
WARNING
* If the drone will not hover in one place it is likely the compass calibration process will need to be
redone. See instruction later in the manual.
* DO NOT pull the throttle all the way down when flying. This will make the motors idle and the
drone will fall out the sky.
* If the drone suddenly starts flying erratically in GPS mode, it is recommended to switch to ALT
mode (E switch to the middle position) to take full manual control over the flight of the drone.
Practice 3
Same as Practice 2, but once you are hovering try flying forward, backwards and side to side. You
can also yaw left and right.
