Test Flight
Before the first flight, it’s suggest to check if every component is well connected, Servos working properly,
motors spinning to the correct direction and all control surfaces are moving to the desired directions.
It’s suggested to use 3 modes, Cruise, Qhover and Qloiter as the labled modes on a three position switch.
It’s suggested to do the first flight in a very open area with no buildings or big trees around, and a flat taking
off area is necessary.
Use the Qhover(or Qloiter) mode, start the motors by pushing the rudder all to the right with the throttle at
the lowest position, the motors should start to spin, gradually increase the throttle until the plane is ready
to lift from the ground, move aileron, elevator and rudder stick gently to check if the plane is moving as
desired.
Continue to push the throttle until the plane is lifted from ground, it may swing a bit since there should be big
airflow hitting the wing, lift the plane to around 3 meters and try to fly it as a multicopter, it should not be a
problem for anyone who can play a multicopter.
When you are familiar with all controls, lift the plane to at least 50m from the ground and make sure there is
not obstacle in front of the plane.
Switch it to Cruise mode, the Baby Shark VTOL rear motor should work, once the speed is reaching at least
16m/s, the multicopter motors will stop spinning, then the Baby Shark is now transferred to fixed wing.
It’s also suggested to active the short and long failsafe, the default action is respectively CIRCLE and RTH.
So in case the plane lose RC control, it will go back all by itself.
You can fly a while and see if the plane could go straight, if you find the plane is tilting left for example, don’t
try to trim the aileron with your radio, the trim to aileron(SERVO1) must be done in parameter setting. (If
the elevator trim is necessary, please trim the SERVO2 and SERVO4 at the same time with the same trim
amount.)
GCS FAILSAFE disabled as default setting for DA16(S) radio or the control range will be greatly
affected.
