The Habu STS is upgradable with the addition of the optional LAS module
(SPMA3180, not included) this allows the advanced SAFE features to be
combined with a Landing Assist Sensor (LAS) for smoother gentler landings.
IMPORTANT:
For best results when using LAS, land on grass surfaces or a light
colored surface, such as light colored concrete. Black surfaces or water normally
do not have enough reflection for the sensor to receive accurate readings.
Installation of the LAS Module
Rotate the aircraft to access the bottom of the fuselage.
1. Press the factory installed plug (
A
) to release it. Then removed it from the LAS
pocket. Save the plug for flights without LAS module.
2. Feed the LAS connector through the channel in the base of the LAS pocket.
3. Align the LAS module with the wires facing the back of the aircraft. Place the
LAS module into the pocket and press it to secure it into place with a click.
4. Place the aircraft on its landing gear and connect the LAS connector to
Port 7
on the flight controller. For correct polarity of the plug ensure that the orange
(not brown) signal wire (
B
) is facing towards the front of the aircraft when
plugged into the flight controller.
Landing with LAS
Reduce throttle, keep the wings level and slowly reduce the altitude of the
aircraft. When the aircraft’s landing approach reaches an altitude of approximately
1meter the LAS will level the aircraft, manage the throttle and flare the aircraft for
touchdown.
IMPORTANT:
LAS is functional for all SAFE flight modes except Experienced
mode. When the flight mode is switched to experienced mode the LAS is
deactivated and the pilot will have zero assistance on landing. A traditional
manual landing of the aircraft is necessary.
IMPORTANT:
The LAS module is not auto-land. The aircraft must be actively
guided, aligned with the landing strip for landing, and flown down to
approximately 1 meter above the runway before the sensor activates.
TIP:
If the speed of aircraft is too fast for landing or the throttle is above 20%, the
LAS is not effective.
TIP:
If the aircraft landing approach is too low and fast, LAS will not flare.
