Method 2: Pull both the left and the right joysticks
downwards and outwards. This method can be used as
an emergency stop.
⚠️
Stopping the motors in flight may cause the drone
to crash and should only be carried out in an
emergency when stopping the motors will minimize
potential damage. (For example, there is a risk that the
drone may hit people or crowds)
Water Takeoff and Landing
1.
When taking off from choppy water, ascend quickly from the surface to prevent the
drone from being affected by a passing wave.
2.
When landing on water, descend vertically to the surface. If the drone lands with
horizontal speed, it may flip and be inverted. The flight controller will shut down the
motors if the drone becomes inverted on the water.
⚠️
Do not leave the drone floating inverted for more than a few minutes. Flip the
drone using the Power-Flip command or recover the drone as soon as possible to
avoid water saturating the waterproof barometric membrane.
Boat Takeoff and Landing
When takeoff or landing from the boat/kayak,
PAY EXTRA ATTENTION
to the operation,
as it can be very difficult and dangerous to operate the aircraft.
•
There should be enough space for the drone to take off or land on the boat.
•
If there is not enough space on the boat, take off and land on the water can
otherwise be a safer, alternative option, as there is sufficient space for the drone to
operate.
•
When the boat is rocking, the drone may not arm its motors in GPS mode. In this
case, carefully take-off in ATTI mode and then switch to GPS mode if the satellite
signal is back to.
•
Always be aware of the direction of the wind relative to the boat for take-off and
landing. Stand in the upwind position relative to the aircraft to prevent the aircraft
from drifting toward you when take-off or landing in windy conditions.
•
The controls are useful to finely control and balance the drone position
during this operation.
•
For your safety, it is not recommended to launch or land the SplashDrone 4 from
your hands.
