Taking Your First Flight
Always use a Drone Landing Pad or Mat – the bigger the better like the OANNES 130cm Landing Pad or
OANNES 1.8m X 1.8M Beach Landing Mat.
Powerup Procedure
Always turn the remote controller on first and then the craft.
Connect APP
Keep the craft totally still on power up –
(THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)
Connect App and push the Orange button on the App to Sync the drone to the App – ‘Check Successful’ will
display on the screen and the camera view should also be displayed.
Calibrate the Drone
When calibrating, make sure you have no keys, phones, metals in pockets and ensure you are away from cars
and buildings. Calibrate the Poseidon Pro as per the manual instructions and Watch the Calibration Video.
Arming the Motors
Before arming the motors ensure you have 3D GPS confirmation at the top of the APP and at least 10 satellites
are displayed. Check the battery life display on the Remote Controller LCD screen for remote battery life and the
APP Display for the drone’s battery life.
Arm the motors by holding down both joysticks down and inwards or down and outwards as per the instruction
manual diagrams.
Always check and double check that the GPS lid arrow is facing forward of the drone – failure to do so will result
in a catastrophic accident.
When you first launch the drone make sure to hover the drone at 10 metres to make sure it is behaving correctly –
if not, land the drone and re-do the compass calibration.
Never launch the drone if the drone battery life displays at 25% or the remote Controller battery is below half.
Always take off vertically to 10 metres and hover to test the drone is behaving correctly – if not, carefully land
the drone and re calibrate the compass -If the drone is behaving correctly - take it to a height of 20 – 25metres.
Flight Training Exercises
Whilst in a hover at 20-25 metres learn how the sticks on the remote controller are moved and position the
drone – use very gentle fluid motions – over time your stick control will improve.
1.
Point the craft in the desired direction by using the rudder (Left stick)
2.
Achieve forward flight by pushing the right stick lightly forward and slow the craft down by gently releasing
the right stick slowly and avoid making the craft stop suddenly by sudden incorrect stick releasing.
3. Fly the craft sideways using the right stick left and right and use the same fluid stick control.
The craft will hover in one place when all control sticks are in the middle position. If it hovers in a circle or
surges up and down - Re-do compass calibration immediately – If you cannot calibrate the drone abort and relocate
to a different area. Download the APP UAV Forecast – This useful App will display the best days to fly and GPS signal
strength on that day.
