The GR-18 can log important flight data to any HoTT radio equipped 
with an SD memory card. Setting one is the default for telemetry log 
settings.  

Selectable Values: 

0 = No logging 
1 = Roll and Nick logging 

CALIBR. POSITION

 

To assure a stable and level flight in attitude mode the sensors need 
to be calibrated. To calibrate the sensors place your multicopter on a 
level surface and set the value to Yes. After a moment, it jumps back 
to  No  and  calibration  is  completed.  Do  not  forget  to  store  this  new 
setting which is done by unselecting the field! 

Axis assignment 

SETUP

  

Depending  on  the  way  you  installed  your  GR-18  it  must  now  learn 
proper  flight  orientation  in  order  to  respond  properly  to  the  radio 
steering commands. 

ment

set it to YES . Now assign the axes as follow: 

On the transmitter, briefly move the roll (aileron) stick briefly fully to the 
right and verify that the ROLL axis is highlighted. Roll the Multicopter 
more than 45 degrees to the right until the ROLL axis field is no longer 
highlighted which indicates the identification of this axis is complete. 

Now do the same for pitch (NICK) on the transmitter by pushing your 
pitch stick (elevator) briefly fully forward and verify that the NICK axis 
is highlighted. Tilt the Multicopter more than 45 degrees forward until 
the field is no  longer highlighted  which indicates the  identification  of 
this axis is complete. 

Finally complete the procedure for the rudder (YAW) on the transmitter 
by moving the rudder stick briefly and fully to the right and verify that 
the YAW axis is highlighted. Rotate the Multicopter so that the nose 
rotates more than 45 degrees to the right until the field is no longer 
highlighted which indicates the identification of this axis is complete. 

The gyros and flight orientations have now been assigned.  

To verify proper operation of your Multicopter you can test it as follows; 

Make sure that all propellers are removed from your Multicopter!   

 

Throttle up approximately 30% of power and verify that all motors 
run at the same speed.  

STEP THREE:

 Teach your multicopter 

proper flight orientation
