1. Raamkonstruksie

1. Identify the carbon fiber rods and the 3D-printed corner connectors.
2. Assemble the square frame using the rods and connectors. Ensure a secure fit.
3. Attach the motor mounts to the corners of the frame.

2. Motor and Propeller Installation

1. Mount each brushless motor onto its designated motor mount at the corners of the frame. Secure them with the provided screws.
2. Connect the motor wires to the flight control module as indicated in the detailed manual. Pay close attention to the correct polarity and motor numbering.
3. Carefully attach the propellers to the motors. Note that propellers are typically marked for rotation direction (CW/CCW). Ensure the correct propeller is on the correct motor as per the manual to achieve stable flight.

3. Flight Control Module and Electronics Integration

1. Mount the main flight control module (PCB) securely in the center of the drone frame.
2. Connect the optical flow positioning module and video module to the flight control board.
3. Route all wires neatly and secure them to prevent interference with propellers or moving parts.
4. Install the battery holder or strap, ensuring it can securely hold the LiPo battery.

4. Afstandbeheersamestelling

1. Assemble the remote control circuit board into its casing (if provided) or attach the joysticks and buttons as shown in the manual.
2. Maak seker dat alle verbindings stewig is.

It also showcases key flight functions such as automatic takeoff, automatic landing, altitude holding, video transmission, and the brushless motor system.

Opstelling

1. Battery laai: Fully charge the LiPo battery using the provided charger before first use. Always monitor the battery during charging.
2. Aanskakel-volgorde:
   • Plaas die hommeltuig op 'n plat, gelyk oppervlak.
   • Skakel eers die afstandbeheerder aan.
   • Connect the drone's battery. The drone's indicator lights should begin to flash.
3. Saambinding: The drone and remote control should automatically pair. If not, refer to the detailed manual for specific pairing instructions. Indicator lights will typically become solid once paired.
4. Kalibrasie: Perform a gyroscope calibration before each flight, especially after a crash or if the drone drifts. This usually involves moving both joysticks to a specific corner or pressing a dedicated button on the remote. Refer to the remote control layout for details.

Bedryfsinstruksies

This drone offers a multi-functional flight experience. Proficiency requires practice. Always start flying in a safe, open area.

Image: A detailed diagram of the remote control board, illustrating the various buttons and their corresponding functions, including speed setting, headless mode, photo/video capture, LED control, power switch, 360° flip, joystick controls (Up/Down Throttle, Turn Left/Right, Move Forward/Backward, Move Left/Right), automatic takeoff/landing, emergency stop, and calibration/trim controls.

Basiese vlugkontroles

• Throttle (Left Joystick Up/Down): Controls the drone's altitude. Push up to ascend, pull down to descend.
• Yaw (Left Joystick Left/Right): Rotates the drone horizontally (left or right).
• Vorentoe/Agtertoe (Regter Joystick Op/Af): Beweeg die hommeltuig vorentoe of agtertoe.
• Links/Regs (Regter Joystick Links/Regs): Moves the drone sideways (strafe left or right).

Spesiale funksies

• Een-klik opstyg/landing: Press the designated button (refer to remote layout) for automatic takeoff or landing.
• Koplose modus: Activates headless mode, where the drone's orientation is relative to the pilot, regardless of its actual front.
• Spoedverstelling: Cycle through different speed modes (e.g., low, medium, high) using the speed button.
• 360° Roll/Flip: Execute aerial stunts by pressing the flip button and simultaneously moving the right joystick in the desired direction.
• Optiese Vloeiposisionering: The integrated optical flow module assists in maintaining stable hovering, especially indoors or at low altitudes.
• Intydse video Viewing: Connect your smartphone to the drone's Wi-Fi network and use the dedicated app (details in manual) to view live video feed and capture photos/videos.

Important: Long press "Emergency Stop" to cut off flight power. Do not attempt at high altitudes to avoid drone loss, crash, and potential personal injury & property damage.

Onderhoud

• Skroefinspeksie: Regularly check propellers for cracks, bends, or damage. Replace immediately if damaged using the spare propellers provided.
• Skoonmaak: Gently clean the drone with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
• Batterysorg: Bêre batterye op 'n koel, droë plek. Moenie batterye vir lang tye volledig gelaai of volledig ontlaai laat nie.
• Komponentkontrole: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they are secure.
