EN SAFE® Plus Technology (BNF with FPV) There are three configurations for the Opterra 1.2m aircraft. A PNP option (EFL11475) requires pilots to install their selected control and FPV systems. A BNF Basic package (EFL11450) offers the proven SAFE® and AS3X® technologies and does not include any FPV equipment or GPS features. The BNF Basic with FPV package (EFL11460) includes SAFE Plus technology which adds GPS based features to airplanes for advanced drone-like capabilities.
EN Transmitter Setup (PNP) Basic Setup Information Dual Rates Ail Hi Rate 24mm Low Rate 16mm Ele 8mm 5mm Control Elevon mixing required Flight Timer Setting 6 minutes IMPORTANT: Elevon mixing is required for PNP versions of this aircraft. Both ailerons need to operate together as elevators and opposite as ailerons for correct flight controls. CAUTION: Do not attempt to fly the PNP version without a properly configured elevon mix.
EN Model Assembly Wing Installation 1. Slide the wing tube into the fuselage. 2. Slide the wings onto the wing tube. 3. Press the wing panels together onto the fuselage until the wings click into place. 4. Insert the vertical fins into the pockets on top of the fuselage until the fins click into place. The vertical fins should angle outward. 6 Opterra ® 1.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection We recommend E-flite® 2200-3200mAh 11.1V 3S- 4S 30C Li-Po batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG. 1. Lower the throttle and leave the trim in the neutral position. Power on the transmitter, then wait 5 seconds. 2.
EN Compass Calibration Procedure (BNF with FPV) Perform the compass calibration outdoors before the first flight or to correct the heading during auto landing if it varies significantly from the heading set during takeoff. 1. Remove the propeller if it is installed or activate throttle cut. 2. With the transmitter trims centered, power on the transmitter and the aircraft while holding the transmitter sticks as shown.
EN Video System (BNF with FPV) The video transmitter installed in the BNF FPV version includes an integrated On Screen Display system (OSD). The OSD takes advantage of the GPS data available on the aircraft to deliver the pilot useful information on the video display. The OSD shows the Flight Mode, Speed and altitude, GPS status, distance to home and an arrow pointing home, time aloft, and voltage.

EN Install the Propeller WARNING: Do not install the propeller until the aircraft has been completely assembled, all systems have been checked thoroughly, and you are located at a suitable flying site. 1. Install the spinner backplate, propeller, prop washer and spinner adapter. 2. Tighten the spinner adapter until the propeller is securely fastened. 3. Secure the spinner with a 3 x 20mm screw. Disassemble in reverse order.
EN Flight Preparation Preflight Checklist 1. Find a safe and open flying area 2. Charge flight battery 3. Turn on transmitter 4. Install fully charged flight battery in aircraft 5. Confirm the CG is within the recommended limits 6. Ensure the linkages move freely 7. Perform control direction test 8. Perform a range check 9. Perform the compass calibration 10. Plan flight for flying field conditions 11. Verify the video display is receiving a solid signal 12. Install the propeller 13.
EN Flying Technology Flight Modes Change between SAFE Plus flight modes by changing the flight mode switch position. Safe Mode (Position 0): • Below approx. 50 feet (15m), pitch (nose up and down) and roll (wing tips up and down) angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne. • Above approximately 50 feet (15m), pitch and roll control are increased slightly. • At any time release both sticks to activate panic recovery mode for self-leveling.
EN Virtual Fence Mode (BNF with FPV) 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. Your aircraft uses GPS to establish a home location and a virtual fence to keep the aircraft within a given distance from the home location. While flying, the aircraft will automatically turn around and fly back towards the home location if it approaches the edge of the virtual fence.
EN Power On, GPS Initialization and Establishing Home Location (BNF with FPV) 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 flight battery, following the instructions in the Install the Flight Battery section. The control surfaces will go move up and down, indicating the aircraft is searching for an RF link. 3.
EN Flight Patterns (BNF with FPV) Holding Pattern Mode Loiter and Holding Pattern Mode If at anytime the aircraft seems too far away, press and release the AutoLand button on the transmitter. The aircraft will maneuver to an altitude of approximately 120 feet (36m) and begin to fly a circular pattern over the home location. If Airfield Virtual Fence mode is active, the aircraft will fly to approximately 120 ft (36m) altitude and fly a circular pattern about 100 ft (30m) in front of the home location.
EN Landing When it is time to land the aircraft, either activate AutoLand mode or land the aircraft manually. Hold for 3 sec. to activate AutoLand mode AutoLand Mode (BNF with FPV) To activate AutoLand mode, press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button for 3 seconds. The aircraft will immediately turn to align itself for an upwind approach and maneuver to an altitude of approximately 65 ft (20m) and 295 ft (90m) downwind from the takeoff point.
EN Landing Landing Manually If it is necessary to land the aircraft manually: 1. Reduce the throttle to around 50% to slow the airspeed. 2. Fly the aircraft downwind past the end of the runway. 3. Turn the aircraft into the wind and line the aircraft up with the runway center line. 4. Decrease the throttle further and begin descending towards the runway, keeping the wings level during approach. Try to have the aircraft at 10ft altitude as it passes over the threshold of the runway. 5.
EN Service and Repairs WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment maintenance with the propeller installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property damage could result from the motor starting inadvertently. NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty. Thanks to the EPO foam material the aircraft,is made of, repairs can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA [cyanoacrylate adhesive], epoxy, etc).
EN Trouble Shooting Guide Problem Aircraft does not operate Aircraft keeps turning in one direction Aircraft does not land on heading set on initial takeoff GPS Function not operating properly Aircraft is difficult to control Possible Cause There is no link between the transmitter and receiver No GPS lock.
