Takeoff and Landing

Video 1: First Flight with the IF1200A walk-through

Takeoff

STEPACTION

1

Verify each item on the Preflight Checklist.

2

Arm the aircraft by bringing the left joystick stick down and towards the right. The motors start spinning in an idle state.

3

Takeoff by slowly raising the throttle (left joystick). The throttle must be raised above the midpoint. Continue raising the throttle and the aircraft will take off.

CAUTION! If Aircraft Begins Tipping Over

Immediately lower the throttle and disarm. This can occur if a propeller is installed on the wrong motor, or the propellers are not completely unfolded prior to flight.

Landing

Landing in Loiter or Position Mode

STEPACTION

1

Be sure the landing site is level and clear of obstructions

  • If the takeoff and landing locations are the same, the aircraft slows itself before landing.

  • If the aircraft is landing at a location where the elevation is different from takeoff, reduce throttle on landing.

2

Lower the throttle completely until the aircraft has landed.

3

Disarm the aircraft by moving the left joystick straight down & hold.

Landing in Return to Launch (RTL) Mode

STEPACTION

1

Select a Launch location that is level and clear of obstructions for landing.

  • The launch location is automatically set before takeoff.

  • The aircraft will autonomously return to the takeoff location and slowly descend.

2

If the aircraft is not positioned exactly over the landing pad, use the joysticks to reposition it.

3

Disarm the aircraft by moving the left joystick straight down & hold.
