d) Basic Information Relevant to the Control of Quadrocopters
Before you let your model lift off for the rst time, you should rst familiarise yourself with the control possibilities open
to you and thereby be able to y safely.
The quadrocopter is controlled via the two control sticks at the remote control transmitter. Ex works, the control func-
tions of the two sticks are programmed to „mode 2“.
If you want different control stick assignments, you can adjust them at any time. For further information on the control
stick assignment, see the chapter „Programming the Remote Control Transmitter“.
Control stick assignment „Mode 2“ offers the following functions:
Pitch Function
With the pitch function you can control the ight altitude of the quadrocopter (see gure 18). The left control stick (also
see gure 7, item 16) is used for control. In contrast to other remote control systems, where the control stick for the
pitch function can be moved forward and back without springing back to the middle position, the pitch control stick has
a middle position in the quadrocopter „Shadow“ in which it is held by spring force.
If the control stick for the pitch function is moved from the middle position upwards, the quadrocopter will climb. If it s
deected from the middle position downwards, the quadrocopter will sink.
Every time the control stick is returned to the middle position, the remote control will emit a signal sound.
Once the control stick is in the middle position, the propeller speeds should be high enough for the quadrocopter to
hover.
