Installing Battery

Setting Up the Landing Gear

Using a 2-position RC transmitter switch, landing gear retraction can be carried out remotely.

Setting up the transmitter

Select a 2-position switch (default setting is OK) as the control input for the landing gear. Ensure the

corresponding receiver port is connected to the “IN” port on control board. For the A2 flight control

system, connect the ight controller’s F1 port to “IN” port on control board.

Upper: Toggle the switch to this position to raise the landing gear.

Lower: Toggle the switch to this position to lower the landing gear.

If the transmitter switch has a FailSafe function, set the FailSafe value to the [Lower] position. This

ensures that the landing gear will lower automatically when the receiver enters FailSafe mode.

To avoid accidental switch triggering, slide levers or other controls can be used for landing gear

control.

Usage procedures

1. Ensure transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged.

2. Toggle the switch to the [Lower] position, and then turn on the transmitter.

3. Ensure the “R”, “L” and “IN” connections are correct.

4. Ensure the landing gear is in the [Lower] position, then power on the system. If a solid green LED on the

landing gear control board lights up, everything is normal. If it ashes green slowly, re-calibrate the system

according to instructions in “Recalibrating Servo Travel”.

5. Toggle the switch to the [Upper] position ONLY AFTER takeoff.

6. Toggle the switch to the [Lower] position for landing.

Setting Up the Landing Gear

Spreading Wings S1000+User Manual

Servo power will shut off 3 seconds after the landing gear has reached its target position.

When powering on the system, if the transmitter switch is in the [Upper] position, the LED will ash

red quickly as a warning. Toggle the switch to the [Lower] position to continue.

If there is an abnormal signal or no signal input into the “IN” port, the LED will slowly ash red.

Check receiver and connections for problems.

If servo power consumption is too high, the LED will light up red. If this lasts more than 4 seconds,

the landing gear will lower and the LED will ash green slowly. Re-calibration is needed before

ying.

A2 ight control system users can use the A2 Assistant to set intelligent gear on the “Advanced”

page. Refer to the “A2 user manual” for details.
