Deactivating GPS in the Air
If for any reason you wish to deactivate the GPS system while the aircraft
is airborne, such as if the GPS system is not calibrated correctly or is not
responding as expected, follow the directions below:
1. Press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button and cycle the ight mode
switch fully 3 times. The rudder will wag, indicating the GPS system is
deactivated.
2. Maintain control of the aircraft and return to the runway to land manually.
To reactivate the GPS system, power cycle the aircraft.
IMPORTANT: When the GPS system is deactivated, the aircraft’s Holding
Pattern, AutoLand and Virtual Fence modes will not function.
Deactivating GPS on the Ground
WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment test with
the propeller installed on the aircraft. Serious injury or property
damage could result from the motor starting inadvertently.
The GPS system is activated when the aircraft is powered ON. If for any
reason you wish to deactivate the GPS system, such as to perform a control
direction test indoors or to simply enjoy the aircraft without GPS features,
follow the directions below:
1. Ensure that your transmitter is bound to the aircraft. If necessary, refer to
the Transmitter and Receiver Binding section.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Power on the aircraft. After the aircraft nds the RF signal, the elevator
will start to move up and down slowly, indicating the GPS system is
searching for satellites.
4. Press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button and cycle the ight mode switch
fully 3 times. The elevator will stop moving and the rudder will wag,
indicating the GPS system is deactivated.
To reactivate the GPS system, power cycle the aircraft.
IMPORTANT: When the GPS system is deactivated, the aircraft’s Holding
Pattern, AutoLand and Virtual Fence modes will not function.
IMPORTANT: When GPS is deactived from transmitter, LED will ash red
slowly. No other LED indicators will function.
To have LED indicators, unplug GPS from ight controller.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Aircraft will not respond to throttle but
responds to other controls
AutoLand was not deactivated after landing
Deactivate AutoLand by pressing the AL/HP button or
changing ight modes and lower throttle
Home location has not been set Set the home location
Direction of Aireld fence has not been set Use aileron command to set the fence location
Ailerons go up aircraft will not bind to
transmitter (during binding)
Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process
Power off transmitter, move transmitter a larger distance from
aircraft, disconnect and reconnect ight battery to aircraft and
follow binding instructions
Bind switch or button not held long enough during bind process Power off transmitter and repeat bind process
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object, wireless
source or another transmitter
Move aircraft and transmitter to another location and
attempt binding again
Aircraft was not placed upright Place aircraft upright after powering up
Ailerons go up and aircraft will not
respond to transmitter (after binding)
Less than a 90-second wait between rst powering on transmitter
and connecting ight battery to aircraft
Leaving transmitter on, disconnect and reconnect ight

Aircraft was not upright, level or motionless
Leaving transmitter on, disconnect and reconnect ight
battery to aircraft assuring that the aircraft is upright, level
and motionless
