TESTING & OPERATIONS
5.1 Tie-Down Flight Test
(1)
Tie down all four arms (not the skids) of the MATRIX to a heavy fixture such
as a table or a work bench. Make sure there is plenty of space around the
aircraft. If you have the random binding transmitter such as the Devention 10,
please make sure there are no other similar radios in the vicinity during the
binding process.
(2)
Prior to initiating your MATRIX, make sure it is on a water level surface and
do not move the MATRIX before takeoff or during the binding process.
Failure to do so will result in miscalculating of the 3-Axis gyro compensation
and the MATRIX will not be able to operate properly.
(3)
Make sure your battery is fully charged using a battery meter (about 4.1V to
4.2V per cell on all 6 cells) Plug in the battery connector to the power input
connector from the chassis. Do not run any LiPo battery to below 3.5V per cell
or a total of 21.0V for the MATRIX 6 cells battery, otherwise the battery will
be permanently damaged.
(4)
After 2 seconds of initialization, the MATRIX will issue 5 consecutive “beep”
tones.
(5)
Place your transmitter flat on a table in front of you with the joystick facing
up. Make sure all switches above the two control sticks on the transmitter are
pushed forward and away from you and the two switches at the very top of the
transmitter side panel is pushed down towards the table. Move the throttle
stick (left stick) to the lowest position towards you. At this time, you do not
need to move the directional stick (right stick), which is spring loaded and will
always return to the middle position when released). Now you can turn your
transmitter “ON”.
(6)
Wait another six seconds for 5 consecutive “beep” tones from the MATRIX,
which indicate that binding between the receiver and the transmitter is
complete. Before moving any controls on the transmitter, it’s always good
practice to find the solid LED light on the receiver & telemetry module to
confirm that binding has been completed.
