fl ight modes, press down on the right control stick and release it. When the
transmitter is changed to low rates, the ellipse in the lower center of the LCD
screen will show a half ellipse and emit a single low pitch single beep. When
changed to high rates, the ellipse will be complete and the transmitter will
emit a single high pitch beep.
Flight Control Sensitivity
You can change the overall sensitivity of the TX465 transmitter. To do this, press
and hold the right stick down. When the transmitter starts to beep continuously,
move the throttle up or down to adjust the sensitivity percentage which will
be indicated on the LCD screen. A higher value will make the controls more
sensitive. When you have the desired setting, release the right stick and
return the throttle to 0%. We have found that 30% is good all-around setting.
Warning: If this value gets bumped to 0 your quadcopter will respond very
slowly to any right stick input.
Beginner (Normal) & Expert Flight Modes
When the 230Si is in the Beginner (stability) fl ight mode, the control board will
apply “Braking” to level the quadcopter and return it to a hover whenever the
right control stick is centered. The Expert mode disables the accelerometers
to make the quadcopter more agile.
To toggle between these two modes, move the throttle to the 0% position
and hold the right stick to the left and down as far as possible for 5 seconds.
The Status LED will turn off and come back after two seconds to indicate that
the quadcopter is in the Beginner fl ight mode. When the Status LED stays
off until the right stick is released, the quadcopter is in the Expert mode.
Altitude Control Management
The 230Si has three different throttle settings which are controlled by the F
Mode button. The Status LED will fl ash rapidly three times, turn off for a
second, and then fl ash to indicate which mode has been selected. Changing
the Altitude Control mode should only be done when the quadcopter is on
the ground with the throttle at 0%.
Limited Altitude
Mode
is selected when the Status
LED fl ashes rapidly three times, is off for a second,
and then remains steady. In this mode, the maximum
height that the 230Si can climb to is around 10 feet. This mode is good for
indoor use where the ceiling is usually less than 10 feet. This mode offers
limited throttle control that will make the quadcopter easier for beginning
pilots to fl y.
