Страница: 31 / 172

Throttle:

Ensure that the left stick is down, into the zero throttle position.

Mode S witch:

Ensure that the mode switch is down, into the manual position.

On/Off:

Turn the

controller on after both throttle and the mode switch are in the correct positions.

The position of the other

switches is inconsequential.

When powered-on, the

controller’s screen will display the Lynx

VTOL

tail number, controller’s battery, and stopwatch. Ensure the

tail number displayed matches your aircraft, and that the controller is charged.

The standard Lynx

VTOL

controller frequency uses 2.4GHz.

Battery - Connect

Place the fuselage on flat ground. Insert fully-charged batteries into the battery bay and press downward. The battery is fully seated

when you cannot press it down any further. The order in which the batteries are installed does not matter. The aircraft will energize after

the second main battery is installed. Once all three batteries are connected, close the hatch.
