7. STARTING/STOPPING THE MOTORS
8. FLIGHT CONTROLS
FLYING
Take your time learning how TYPHOON responds to
various control inputs while flying. In Smart Mode
TYPHOON will always move in the direction the
right-hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot
and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed.
In Angle (Pilot) Mode TYPHOON will move in the
direction the control stick is pushed relative to the
front/nose of the aircraft (and the ‘angle’ of
movement is determined by how far you push the
stick away from the center position). And please see
the corresponding sections of this instruction
manual for more information on Smart Mode and
Angle (Pilot) Mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If at any time during flight you
feel like TYPHOON is drifting out of/beyond your
control, simply release both control sticks.
TYPHOON will automatically self-level and will even
hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock)
when both control sticks are centered. You can also
activate Home Mode so TYPHOON automatically
flies itself back to the home point and lands.
Climb (Max. Altitude
400 Feet / 122 Meters)
Maximum Climb Rate:
2m/s (6.6f/s)
Maintain Altitude
Descend / Land
Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind
TYPHOON. Press and hold the red START/STOP
button for about 3 seconds to start, and about 2
seconds to stop the motors.
To takeoff, slowly raise the left-hand stick to slightly
above the center position. TYPHOON will takeoff
and climb slowly (or raise the stick further until it
does). Allow the stick to return to the center position
when TYPHOON reaches the desired altitude.
9. CONTROL RATE SLIDER
Set the overall climb/descend and directional control
rates. Use the turtle position for the lowest control
rates (best for first-time pilots and when flying
between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean Sea
Level). Use the rabbit position for the highest control
rates (best for experienced pilots and only when
flying below 5000 feet AMSL.
10. SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE
TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight
modes that can be selected via the Flight Mode
Selection Switch located just above the right-hand
control stick.
SMART MODE
When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the top
position TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode. Although
we recommend learning to fly TYPHOON in Angle
(Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is
typically the best mode for first-time pilots to fly in
and also features ‘Follow Me’.
In Smart Mode TYPHOON will always move in the
direction the right-hand control stick is pushed
relative to the pilot and no matter which way the
front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the
left TYPHOON will always move to the left,
regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and
even if it’s spinning. This mode can also be helpful for
pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle
(Pilot) Mode.
1) When the flight mode switch is in the top position
TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode.
2) When the flight mode switch is in the middle
position TYPHOON will be in Angle (also known as
Pilot) Mode.
3) When the flight mode switch is in the lowest
position TYPHOON will be in Home Mode.

Mode 2 shown
If calibration is needed before flight, Please press
calibration button enables the user to enter
Compass calibration or Accelerometer calibration.
The detailed calibration operation can be referred
to the User Manual on www.yuneec.com.
If indoor flight is needed, please turn off the GPS first.
Press setting button on ST10+ interface and
switch off the GPS,
When the CGO3 and ST10+, the multi-copter and
ST10+ are bound, press , optional choices of video
settings and Audio Switch will be shown above.
LANDING
There are two ways to land TYPHOON:
1) Position TYPHOON above the area where you
would like to land. Slowly lower the left-hand stick to
below the center position. TYPHOON will descend
slowly and land. After TYPHOON lands, press and
hold the red START/STOP button until the motor
stop.
2) Activate Home Mode and TYPHOON will
automatically fly itself back to the home point and
will land within a 10 foot (3 meter) diameter circle
around it.
WARNING:
Always land as soon as possible after the
first level low voltage battery warning, or land
immediately after the second level low voltage
battery warning (as indicated by the vibrations and
audible alerts from the ST10+, and by the Below
Motor LED Status Indicators flashing rapidly). And if
at any time the Aircraft Battery Voltage shown on
the screen is below 10.7V, land TYPHOON
immediately.
AFTER LANDING
ALWAYS turn off TYPHOON BEFORE turning off
the ST10+. Then remove the battery from
TYPHOON and allow it to cool to ambient/room
temperature before recharging.
