Failsafe of 433 receiver 

All  accessories  should be  turned  on  and  flight  mode  should  be  turned  to  Return  Home  Mode.  Then  the 

button  of  433  receiver  should  be  long  pressed  till  the  flash  light  fast  flashes.  At  this  time,  if  the  433 

transmitter is powered off, the airplane will automatically switch to Return Home Mode.

Lost-control protection of radio 

Please refer to specific instruction of your radio. The primary requirement is that the airplane should be in 

Return Home Mode upon the radio is powered off whatever the brand is. (The values of CH5, CH6 will be 

changed by radio. Upon powering off the radio, the autopilot will automatically turn the mode to Return 

Home Mode due to the change of values of CH5 and CH6 input into the receiver.)

Test: 

1.

 

The  default  mode  should  be  Balance  Mode.  Upon  powering  off  the  radio,  the  mode  should 

automatically  turn  to  be  Return  Home  Mode  as  displayed  in  OSD.  If  this  process  cannot  done 

within  5  seconds,  it  may  be  caused  by  failure  of  lost-control  protection.  Both  radio  and 

transmitter need to be reset. 

2.

 

The  default  mode  should  be  Balance  Mode.  Upon  powering  off  the  radio,  the  mode  should 

automatically turn to be Return Home Mode as displayed in OSD. If this process cannot be done 

within 5 seconds, aforesaid step needs to be done again. 

 

 

Reminds before and after the airplane takes off

 

Before the airplane takes off 

All preparations have almost been completed, the next step is to fly the airplane in exterior place.   

Please keep in mind: 

1.

 

The airplane should fly in area where is not populated and away from buildings and airport, railways and 

sensitive regions. Those places are not recommended.   

2.

 

Please wait the airplane to search for satellites after it is powered on it. The duration will vary from place 

to place. The maximum duration will not exceed 10 minutes.   

3.

 

Please calibrate the airplane after searching satellites.
