⑪ Trim 1

⑫ Trim 3

⑬ Trim 2

⑭ Trim 4

⑮ Mixing Control Switch

⑯ Direction Reverse

⑰ Aileron Reverse

⑱ Throttle Reverse

⑲ Elevator Reverse

Remote Controller Usage Notes:

Antenna: For optimal signal quality and strength, always deploy the antenna at an upward angle before use. Avoid gripping the antenna during operation.

Mixing Control: Three position settings - Upper position: Delta wing mixing mode; Middle position: No mixing mode; Lower position: Fixed-wing mixing mode

Trim ①: Throttle trim for left-hand throttle configuration/Elevator trim for right-hand throttle configuration

Trim ②: Rudder trim

Trim ③: Elevator trim for left-hand throttle configuration/Throttle trim for right-hand throttle configuration

Trim ④: Aileron trim

Important Note

Single press of trim button adjusts 1 microsecond, long press adjusts 4 microseconds.

When the transmitter emits continuous beeping sounds with indicator flashing, it indicates low battery level.

Remote Controller Calibration Procedure

1. Connect UAV to laptop via USB cable
2. Open QGroundControl station and navigate to Remote Calibration page
3. Select appropriate stick mode configuration
4. Initiate calibration process and follow on-screen instructions to move control sticks

Critical Reminder

Stick mode selection must match actual controller configuration!

Flight Modes and Switch Configuration

Pre-configured flight modes and switch settings are implemented before shipment.

Default Channel Assignments:

• Channel 5: Arm/Disarm switch
• Channel 6: Emergency Stop mode
• Channel 7: Return-to-Home mode
• Channel 8: Three-position switch (Position Hold, Landing, Mission modes)

Channel 8 Configuration:

• Upper position: Flight Mode 1 (Position Hold)
• Middle position: Flight Mode 4 (Landing)
• Lower position: Flight Mode 6 (Mission)

Flight Mode Descriptions

1. Position Hold Mode An intuitive RC mode where:

• Roll/Pitch sticks control lateral movement
• Throttle controls ascent/descent rate
• Centered sticks maintain stable hover

2. Altitude Hold Mode Semi-automatic mode featuring:

• Roll/Pitch control lateral movement
• Yaw controls rotation rate
• Throttle controls vertical speed
• Automatic altitude maintenance when sticks centered

3. Stabilize Mode Advanced manual control mode:

• Roll/Pitch sticks control tilt angle
• Yaw controls rotation rate
• Throttle directly controls altitude
• Requires active wind compensation

4. Takeoff Mode Autonomous vertical takeoff to preset altitude

5. Landing Mode Autonomous descent and motor disengagement

6. Mission Mode Autonomous execution of pre-loaded flight plans

7. Return-to-Home (RTH) Automatic return to launch point with hover/land option

Switch Configuration Details

Channel 5: Arm/Disarm Switch
Channel 6: Emergency Stop Switch

Arming Mechanism:

• Position Hold mode: One-touch arming/disarming
• Stabilize mode: Requires throttle at minimum position

Emergency Stop:

• Emergency motor cutoff (Use with caution)
• Recommended only for low-altitude emergencies or post-crash scenarios
• Immediately stops all motor rotation for safety
