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.

FLIGHT MODES

The ST12 Ground Station is equipped with 3 

different flight modes which can be selected
