CAUTION: Keep the aircraft away from
magnetic sources such as cameras,
camera mounts, speakers etc. These may interfere
with the GPS system and loss of control may result.
Position the model to take off into the wind. Slowly
increase the throttle. Small rudder inputs may be
required for heading correction. When properly
trimmed, the aircraft will climb at full throttle without
the use of the elevator.

Circle Virtual Fence, Small (Default):

Holding Pattern (HP) Mode
If at anytime the aircraft seems too far away, press and release
the HP/AL (bind) button on the transmitter.
The aircraft will maneuver to an altitude of approximately
120 feet (36m) and begin to fly a circular pattern over the
home location.
The aircraft flies fully autonomously when HP mode is active.
The transmitter sticks have no control.
NOTICE: As a safety precaution, Holding Pattern mode will not function when your
aircraft is below an altitude of approximately 20 ft (6m).
To deactivate HP mode and regain control, press and release the HP/AL button again or
change flight modes.
IMPORTANT:When the HP feature is activated, the aircraft should immediately respond to the command. If the aircraft does not
respond immediately, GPS signal may have been lost. In this case, the aircraft will have to be flown back to the home location manually.
Landing With AutoLand
To land, hold the HP/AL button for 3 seconds and let go
of the control sticks. The aircraft will immediately turn to align
itself for an upwind approach and maneuver to an altitude of
approximately 65 ft (20m) and 295 ft (90m) downwind from
the takeoff point. The aircraft will then turn into the wind and
begin the final approach.The control sticks are still functional
and can be used to avoid obstacles.
As the aircraft passes over the runway threshold, pull the throttle stick fully back and use up
elevator to flare the aircraft to a soft touch down on the runway. This is the best practice for
landings and will help prevent accidental propeller strikes.
The aircraft will land into the wind near your takeoff point and come to a complete stop.
NOTICE: As a safety precaution, AutoLand mode will not initiate when the aircraft is
below an altitude of approximately 20ft(6m).
Press and release the HP/AL (bind) button or change flight modes at anytime to abort the AutoLand approach.
CAUTION: Never attempt to catch a flying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause severe personal injury and
damage to the aircraft.
