Draganflyer V Ti Familiarization

Never fly this aircraft where damage to property or injury to persons may result if loss of con-
trol occurs. Never leave the Draganflyer V Ti unattended with the battery connected to it.
Always disconnect the battery when not flying. Always turn the Draganflyer V Ti off before
turning off the transmitter. Failure to do so could cause the Draganflyer V Ti to become air-
borne and out of control resulting in injury or damage. We cannot stress this enough! Always
be sure to either enable or disable the thermal intelligence before each flight. Thermal
intelligence should only be enabled for outdoor use

Start-up Procedure (thermal intelligence disabled)

1)

Turn the black on-off switch on the circuit board to
the off position.

2)

Install the battery and connect it to the circuitboard.
We recommend placing one finger on the circuit 
board to brace it when connecting to the terminals. 
To release the battery, press the hinged connector 
to unclip from the circuit board.

3)

Make sure the throttle is at the lowest position
before turning on the transmitter. Center all of the
trim levers on the transmitter. Turn the transmitter
on and fully extent the antenna. The transmitter

must

be turned on before you turn the Draganflyer

V Ti on,

this is very important!

4)

Insure the transmitter is properly charged. If the red
LED on the transmitter flashes or is not lit the
transmitter must be recharged.

5)

Turn the switch on the Draganflyer V Ti to the ON
position.  You will note that the red LED will start
blinking.  Make sure at this stage that when you
advance the throttle stick, the red LED blinks
faster.  This verifies the functionality of the radio
link.  Return the throttle to the lowest position.

6)

For safety reasons hold the Draganflyer V Ti down
on the ground by the canopy. Hold the left control
stick full left and  down while you push the arming button. This both arms the helicop-
ter and disables the thermal intelligence. Always be prepared for  the motors to turn on!
If they come on and you cannot throttle them back, turn off the switch on the circuit
board and refer  to the Troubleshooting section.
