Chapter 2 Before Flight   

 

2.1 Power Supply 

Power for transmitter T8S

: Make sure the transmitter is fully charged. 

Power for F121

: The voltage of 1S LiPo battery packed with F121 by default is not fully charged so the battery 

needs to be charged with the charger CM120 before flight.   

The LiPo battery charger CM120, specially designed for 1S LiPo battery, sharing the professional development 

and high precision of CB86PLUS, ensures safer charging and battery life span. 

 

 

 

 

 

Charging current can be set as 1A or 2A by toggling the switch at the side of the charger. 

The  Red  LED  flashes  slowly  indicates  the  battery  is  under  charging.  The  Green  LED  always  on  indicates  the 

battery is fully charged. The Red and Green LED Flashing alternately indicates Fault prompt. 

CM120  applies  general  USB  connector,  both  computer  and  power  bank  for  mobile  phone  can  be  used  with 

CM120. 

Note 

Voltage output of power supply should be NO higher than 5V. 

 

2.2 Transmitter 

The  two  joysticks  of  T8S  correspond  to  the  four  basic  channels  respectively  .  The  below  example  takes 

RadioLink radio T8S Mode 2 (Throttle on the left stick) .

 

Left joystick 

Make  the F121  rise  or  descend  by  toggling  the  left  stick(THROTTLE)  vertically  upward  or  downward  and turn 

clockwise or anticlockwise by toggling the left stick(YAW) to the left or right. 

Right joystick 

Make the F121 fly forward or backward by toggling the right stick(PITCH) vertically upward or downward and to 

left or right by toggling the right stick(ROLL) to the left or right. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 If it

’s the transmitter from other brands used with RadioLink F121, make sure that the receiver should be 

SBUS signal output supported. Once the receiver is installed on the mini drone, the phase of the throttle should 

be reversed while the other three channels normal and the CH5 should be set with a 3-way switch. Servo phases 

of transmitters from other brands should be set according to the actual situation. 

 

ROLL 

Make  F121  fly 
to left/right side

 

PITCH 

Make  F121 
forward/ 
backward

 

THROTTLE 

Make 

F121 

rise/descend

 

YAW 

Make 

F121 

clockwise/anti
clockwise
