Takeoff and Landing

PreviousPreflight ChecklistNextMission Planning

Last updated 2 years ago

Takeoff

1

Verify each item on the Preflight Checklist (see the end of this User Manual).

2

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.

If the aircraft begins to tip over on takeoff, immediately lower the throttle and disarm. This usually occurs due to a propeller being installed on the wrong motor.

Landing in Position Mode

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.

Landing in Return to Launch (RTL) Mode

1

The ‘Launch’ location is automatically set before takeoff, therefore select a Launch location that is level and clear of obstructions for landing. The aircraft will autonomously return to the takeoff location and slowly descend.

2

If it becomes dangerous to land in the Launch position, move the joy sticks at any time to regain control of the aircraft. You can also switch the hand controller back to ‘Position’ mode. The aircraft will hover in place until the pilot lands the aircraft as described in the previous paragraph.
