Step 3
●
Set up a course.
Keep it simple at first. When you can fly while maintaining your altitude, set up a
course with gates or obstacles at different heights.
The goals are to fly the entire course while maintaining the altitude and increase
your speed around the course.
BLADE GUARD REPLACEMENT
1. Carefully pry off the blade using a flat
head screwdriver.
NOTE:
Do one corner
at a time so you don’t accidentally mix
up the blades.
2. Pull the blade
guard up and off
the motor housing.
Install the new
guard and replace
the rotor blade.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
Rotor blades
must
be installed as shown.
•
Carefully pry off the
blade using a fl at head
screwdriver.
•
Rotor blades are marked
with an A or B.
•
Yellow rotor blades are
front and black are rear.
•
Match the A and B
blades to this drawing
to ensure that the
replacement blades are
in the correct locations.
SENSOR CALIBRATION
It is normal for the KODO FPV to
require minor corrections while
hovering. If the quad has a strong
tendency to drift in one direction, the
sensors may need calibration.
1. Power up and link the controller
and the KODO FPV.
2. Place the quad on a level surface.
3. Hold both sticks in the lower right
corners. When the LED on the quad
starts to fl ash rapidly, release the
sticks but do not move the KODO
FPV until the LED is steady again.
MOTOR REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the rotor blade from the motor.
2. Remove the blade guard from the motor housing.
3. While holding the motor locking tab open, place the motor shaft on a solid surface
and push down on the arm to force the motor up and out of the motor housing.
4. Remove the wires from the brackets on the arms and unplug the assembly from
the control board.
5. Before installing the new motor, make sure that the wires are the same color and
are installed in the same positions in the connector.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM:
KODO will not stay level or drifts while hovering.
SOLUTION:
(1) Calibrate the sensors – see the Sensor Calibration section.
(2) Check the rotor blades and motors for damage. A common
problem is lint wrapped around the motor shaft.
PROBLEM:
Red controller LED light flashes after linking.
SOLUTION:
Replace with new AAA batteries.
PROBLEM:
The KODO FPV will not respond to the controller.
SOLUTION:
(1) Relink the controller and the KODO FPV.
(2) Make sure the flight battery is fully charged.
PROBLEM:
Unable to flip but the KODO flies.
SOLUTION:
Battery voltage is low and needs to be charged.
PROBLEM:
Will not take off.
SOLUTION:
(1) Check the rotor blades for proper installation.
(2) Battery is not fully charged.
(3) Check motors and props for damage.
PROBLEM:
Drone is shaking.
SOLUTION:
Check the canopy, chassis, motors and rotor blades for damage.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Follow these safety precautions when operating this or any model drone.
•
Adult supervision required.
•
Do not touch the spinning blades or fly over people or animals.
•
Keep your face and body as well as all spectators away from the rotors
whenever the battery is connected.
•
Stay clear of buildings, trees and power lines.
AVOID
flying in or near crowded
areas.
DO NOT
fly close to people, children or pets.
•
Maintain a safe pilot-to-drone distance while flying.
•
Your KODO drone should not be considered a toy, but rather a small, working
