AFTER LANDING
ALWAYS turn off Typhoon H BEFORE turning off the ST12 Ground Station. Then
remove the battery from Typhoon H and allow it to cool to ambient/room tempera-
ture before recharging.
NOTICE: If the signal of the remote control is lost, Typhoon H will automatically
return to the home point and hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) over
the home position (except for low battery).
LANDING
There are two ways to land Typhoon H:
1) Position Typhoon H above the area where you would like to land. Slowly lower
the left-hand stick to below the center position. Typhoon H will descend slowly and
land. After Typhoon H lands, press and hold the START/STOP button until the
motor stops.
2) Activate Home Mode and Typhoon H will automati-
cally fly itself back to the home point and land.
NOTICE: After the copter takes off, the pilot can retract
the landing gear by switching up the Landing Gear
Switch on the top left side of the ST12 Ground Station.
Make sure to flip the switch to the downward position
when landing.
WARNING: Always land as soon as possible after the
first low level voltage battery warning, or land immedi-
ately after the second level low voltage battery
warning (as indicated by the vibrations and audible
alerts from the ST12 Ground Station, and by the Motor
LED Status Indicators flashing rapidly). If at any time
the Aircraft Battery Voltage shown on the screen is
below 14.1V, land Typhoon H immediately.
PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SLIDER
The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST12 Ground
Station allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates.
Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best for first-time pilots and
required when flying between 5000 feet and
8000 feet Above Mean Sea Level), and use the
rabbit position for the highest control rates
(best for experienced pilots and can only be
used when flying below 5000 feet MSL). Or
use a position in between if you prefer.
SMART MODE
When the Flight Mode selection switch is in the top position Typhoon H will be
in Smart Mode. Although we recommend learning to fly Typhoon H in Angle
(Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for
beginning pilots to fly in and also features 'Follow Me'.
In Smart Mode Typhoon H will always move in the direction the right-hand
control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the
front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left Typhoon H will always
move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it’s
spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while
flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.
*ADDITIONAL SMART MODE FEATURES
FOLLOW ME FUNCTION
The Follow Me function allows Typhoon H to follow the pilot, adjusting its
location to the location of the ST12 Ground Station. This function is enabled
when ST12 GPS positioning completes, and Typhoon H is using shared GPS
signal with the ST12 Ground Station. At this time, you will see [ ] in orange, and
[ ] in green color.
When in Follow Me, Typhoon H will follow the movement of ST12 Ground Station
if there is no extra operation on the ST12 Ground Station. The flight status is also
controllable when you operate ST12 Ground Station and CGO3+ gimbal
camera.
