CAUTION:
Keep aircraft away from magnetic sources such as cameras, camera mounts,
speakers ect. These may interfere with the GPS system and loss of control may result.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Install a fully charged fl ight battery, following the instructions in the
Install the Flight Battery
section. If you
have not completed the binding process, bind the aircraft and transmitter now.
3. Once the RF link has been established, the elevator will move up and down slowly, indicating the
aircraft is searching for GPS lock.
• If you wish to change the virtual fence mode, input the transmitter stick commands as described in
the
Virtual Fence Mode and GPS
section while the aircraft is searching for GPS lock. The fence can
be changed at any time before the home point is set.
• The elevator movement will speed up as satellites are located.
• The elevator will quickly move and then center to indicate GPS lock.
IMPORTANT:
The control surfaces will respond once the GPS has acquired a
lock, but the throttle is not active and will not arm until the home location is set.
4. Place the aircraft on the ground at the desired home location, and pointed into the
wind to set the landing direction. Press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button until the
elevons wag to set the home location.
• If either of the circle Virtual Fence modes are active or if virtual fence is
off, the elevons will wag and the throttle will now operate, indicating the
aircraft is ready for fl ight.
• If the Airfi eld Virtual Fence mode is active, the elevons will wag left and
right. After setting the home location you must then indicate where the fl ying
side of the airfi eld is in relation to the home location. The throttle will be
inactive until the fl ying side direction is set. Set the fl ying side direction by
moving the aileron stick either left or right in the direction of the fl ying area:
- If the fl ying side is off the right wing of the aircraft as it sits in the home
location, push the aileron stick right to the stop and release (as shown in the example below).
- If the fl ying side is off the left wing as the aircraft sits in the home location, push the aileron stick left
to the stop and release.
Once the home location and fl ying location is set, the control surfaces will wag and the motor will arm,
indicating the aircraft is ready for fl ight.
CAUTION:
If the aircraft is in Airfi eld mode, the line that defi nes the no fl y zone will be aligned with
the center line of the aircraft. Ensure the aircraft is point directly down the runway in one direction or
the other to correctly set the Airfi eld mode. If the aircraft is not aligned with the runway, the no fl y zone will not
be set in the correct location.
