Seahorse REVO4 and Matrix KontikiDrone
Thanks for purchasing your Seahorse REVO4 or Matrix KontikiDrone. 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
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 REVO4 is a very powerful fishing drone and can lift large baits or payloads. The REVO4 will
happily pull 15 hooks out to 750 metres or carry a large single bait up to 4kg’s over a shorter
distance.
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.
INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS
This manual will step you through the operation of the Seahorse
REVO4 Kontiki, but it is very difficult to describe all the steps and
procedures to fly a drone. In addition to the manual, there will
be instructional videos available online. These will be on our
website as well as on our YouTube channel.
It is recommended you watch the videos.
The Cuta-copter videos are also available to watch.
