INTRODUCTION Typhoon H is an advanced aerial photography and videography platform, perfect for skilled pilots and photographers alike. It offers up to 25 minutes of flight time while filming with the CGO3+ 4K-resolution camera. Settings can be freely and remotely adjusted through the ST16 Personal Ground Station, an easy and intuitive remote controller which features a 7-inch Android touchscreen that displays live footage of your flight.
SPECIFICTATIONS TYPHOON H SPECIFICATIONS Flight Time Up to 25 min Maximum Rotation Rate 85°/s Takeoff Weight 68.8oz (1950g ) Maximum Climbing Speed 5m/s Size Battery Battery Capacity/Voltage Charger Transmitter Maximum Flying Height 20.5x18x12.2 in (520x457x310mm) Maximum Roll Angle 4S 14.8V LiPo Battery (POWER 4) Maximum Speed In Follow Me Mode 5400mAh 4S/14.8V（79.
PLACEMENT BEFORE TAKEOFF CHARGING WARNING: Always operate Typhoon H in open areas (approximately 10000 square feet/930 square meters or more) that are free from people, vehicles, trees and other obstructions. Never fly near or above crowds, airports or buildings. Power the SC4000-4 charger from a 100-240V AC outlet using the AC adapter/power supply, or from a 12V-16.8V DC accessory socket/cigarette lighter receptacle in a vehicle using the included adapter.
POWERING ON / OFF STEP 2: INSTALLING THE PROPELLERS IMPORTANT NOTE: Always ensure propellers are installed properly. The motors are extremely powerful, meaning that if the device is misused there is a risk of material damage, serious injury and even fatal injury. Mount the propellers on the motors and note the 'A' and 'B' given on the motor arms. This distinction between 'A' and 'B' refers to propeller 'A' and 'B'.

2) Activate Home Mode and Typhoon H will automatically fly itself back to the home point and land. NOTICE: After the copter takes off, the pilot can retract the landing gear by switching up the Landing Gear Switch on the top right side of the ST16 Ground Station. Make sure to flip the switch to the downward position when landing. NOTICE: During the landing phase of the RTH you can fine tune the landing location.
FLIGHT MODES The ST16 Ground Station is equipped with 3 different flight modes which can be selected by using the mode switch in the top right corner above the right joystick. TS01 GPS VOL 9 FSK 12.
ANGLE MODE HOME MODE When the Flight Mode selection switch is the middle position, Typhoon H will be in Angle Mode, also known as in Pilot Mode. Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots because Typhoon H will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft. So if you push the right-hand stick to the left Typhoon H will bank toward the left side and move to the left.
WARNING: Home Mode only works when Typhoon H has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If Typhoon loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.
JOUR: Journey function enables Typhoon H to capture the perfect aerial selfie much easier. Depending on the pilot's desired setting, Typhoon H will go up, out and return. Tap JOUR to enter the journey function. START: Press START, and slide the icon. Typhoon H will fly up and out and then take a selfie. BACK: Tap BACK to return to the previous interface. 2 ORBIT ME: When Orbit Me is enabled, Typhoon H flies a circular path around the pilot. Press ORBIT to enter the ORBIT ME function.

TEAM MODE (Wizard™&ST16) TEAM MODE ( TWO ST16 Ground Stations ) STEP 1) Switch on the original and the new ST16 Ground Stations first, and then power on Typhoon H. Do not touch it until the initialization completes. Wait a few seconds for the camera to align and all system (RC and video link) connected. STEP 2) Tap the 'Model' icon on the new ST16 Ground Station, select TYPHOON H, and if required press 'OK' to accept any pop up warnings/alerts. ] on the new ST16 Ground Station.
WIZARD BUTTON COMBINATION FUNCTIONS RETRACTING THE LANDING GEAR *All vibrate once when any of the combination function is activated（rthe Wizard will vibrate twice when turning on the altitude follow function）. *For the last four functions, press the orange marked button first, and then the green one. Release both buttons at the same time after the function is activated.
‘POINT TO FLY’ FUNCTION Press and hold the Magic Button on the Typhoon Wizard™, and the aircraft will fly in the direction the Typhoon Wizard™ is pointed to in the sky. To Enter ‘Point To Fly’ Function When the aircraft is flying, point the Typhoon Wizard™ to a direction, press and hold the Magic Button. Release the Magic Button when Aircraft Mode LED glows solid blue and Typhoon Wizard™ vibrates once. Then the aircraft will fly to the direction the Typhoon Wizard™ points.
CAMERA CONTROLS GIMBAL CAMERA PAN CONTROL There is a gimbal pan mode switch on ST16---S2. When the switch position is up, the gimbal camera is in Follow Mode. The pan control of the gimbal camera is now disabled. The gimbal camera will adjust its pan direction according to the aircraft ’s movements. When the switch is in the middle position, the gimbal camera is in Follow Pan Controllable Mode, the gimbal camera will adjust its pan direction according to the aircraft ’s movements.
pan direction according to the aircraft ’s movements. When the switch is in the middle position, the gimbal camera is in Follow Pan Controllable Mode, the gimbal camera will adjust its pan direction according to the aircraft ’s movements. Meanwhile, the pan control is activated, use the aileron joystick to set the pan position of the gimbal camera. When the switch position is down, the gimbal camera is in Global Mode.
We do not typically recommend disabling GPS for any reason, especially if you’re a first-time or low-time pilot. However, if you’re an experienced pilot that ’s able to properly control Typhoon H in Angle (Pilot) Mode, and you do not exceed any altitude/distance limits or fly in any ‘no fly zones’ in your area, you can disable/turn off GPS. Do NOT disable/turn off GPS unless you accept ALL responsibility and liability for crashes or ‘fly aways’.
GUI INSTRUCTION FUNCTION 2: Settings The Geo-fence and Height limit can be redefined by adjusting the data in the 'New Value' column, then you can write the new data in the flight control by clicking the 'Update' button. NOTICE: Although the data can be changed by the pilot, we recommend to keep the default settings. CAUTION: Remove all the propellers before using the GUI. STEP 1) Download the TYPHOON H GUI setup on our official website: www.yuneec.com STEP 2) Unpack and install the file.
COMPASS CALIBRATION CALIBRATION CAUTION: Do not calibrate the compass in parking garages, close to buildings or near roads with a metal core. For optimum performance, only calibrate Typhoon H in open spaces, far away from power lines and other metal structures or concrete buildings. NOTICE: Be sure to perform the compass calibration procedure at least 11 feet away from the nearest cell phone or other electronic devices to ensure proper calibration.
UPDATE GIMBAL CAMERA CALIBRATION STEP 1) Place the TYPHOON H on a level and stable surface. Switch on the ST16 Ground Station and the aircraft and wait till the RC and WiFi connected. STEP 2) Make sure the tilt mode and pan mode all switched upwards, then tap the 'GPS Calibration' button and choose the 'GIMBAL CALIBRATION'. STEP 3) The Gimbal camera will calibrate itself automatically. Wait the gimbal camera align in 3 axis and stay still, which means the gimbal calibration completes.
