Powering ON, GPS Initialization and Establishing
Home Location
CAUTION: Keep aircraft away from magnetic sources such as
cameras, camera mounts, speakers etc. These may interfere with
the GPS system and loss of control may result.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Install a fully charged ight battery, following the instructions in the
Install the Flight Battery section.
3. Plug the battery into the aircraft. The elevator will move up and down
slowly, indicating the the GPS is searching for satellites. When GPS is
aquired, the elevator will move quickly and then center.
• If you want to change the virtual fence mode, input the transmitter stick
commands as described in the Virtual Fence Mode and GPS section of
the manual. The fence can be changed at any time before the home
point is set.
IMPORTANT: The throttle is active but only slowly pulses the motor, allowing
you to taxi the aircraft. Either taxi to or place the aircraft in the desired home
location, pointing the nose of the aircraft into the wind and the desired
takeoff direction.
4. Once the aircraft is on the ground at the desired home location, and pointed
into the wind, press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button.
• If either of the circle Virtual Fence modes are active or if virtual fence
is off, all control surfaces will wag and the throttle will now operate,
indicating the aircraft is ready for ight.
• If the Aireld Virtual Fence mode is active, only the ailerons will wag
left and right. Release the HP/AL (bind) button. After setting the home
location you must then indicate where the ying side of the aireld is in
relation to the home location. The throttle will be inactive until the ying
side direction is set. Set the ying side direction by moving the aileron
stick either left or right in the direction of the ying area:
-If the 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). The right aileron will move up and down
indicating right direction has been set.
-If the 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. The left
aileron will move up and down indicating left direction has been set.
Once the home location and ying location is set, all surfaces will wag,
indicating the aircraft is ready for ight.
CAUTION: If the aircraft is in Aireld mode, the line that denes the
no y zone will be aligned with the center line of the aircraft, and
approximately 10 meters behind you to ensure the fence does not interfere
with take-offs or landings. Make sure the aircraft is point directly down the
runway in one direction or the other to correctly set the Aireld mode. If the
aircraft is not aligned with the runway, the no y zone will not be set in the
correct location.
