To stop the propellers from rotating after they have
been armed, or at any time after landing if the
propellers fail to automatically stop, you can disarm
them by moving both transmitter sticks to the bottom
outside corners and hold until the propellers stop.
Emergency Stop
-
The emergency stop
function can be used
any time during flight
to stop the motors
from rotating. We
recommend that the
emergency stop function only be used when
necessary to preserve the safety of surrounding things and people or to prevent
the imminent loss of your Archon due to pilot error or malfunction.
To activate the Emergency Stop, press and hold the
PICTURE
and
VIDEO
buttons
simultaneously for at least 2 seconds.
NOTE:
The Archon motors will stop spinning when the emergency stop is activated.
This will cause the Archon to fall freely to the ground. Care should be taken to
ensure that causing the Archon to fall to the ground uncontrolled, likely damaging
both it (the Archon) and possibly what it lands on, is preferable to a controlled
descent and landing. Use the emergency stop only when necessary. The transmitter
LEDs will indicate that the emergency stop was activated by flashing repeatedly
in a consecutive order. This indication can be cancelled by arming the motors
again or cycling the power of the transmitter.
FLYING THE ARCHON
Flight Modes
The Archon can be flown with or without GPS assist.
The altitude hold function is always operational
regardless if GPS is assisting your flight.
Altitude Hold
- Moving the flight mode switch to ALTITUDE HOLD disables GPS
assist. In this mode the Archon can be flown anywhere even if there is no GPS
signal present. The barometric sensor will still provide information to the Archon
about its altitude which will
allow it to automatically maintain
the current altitude when the
throttle stick (left stick) is released.
Because GPS is not assisting with
the flight, the Archon is free to
