Use Notes
Use credible brand lithium-Ion polymer (Li-Po) 4 cell 14.4v (4S) 4000mAh+ (with XT60 connector).
Charge with credible brand charger. Battery must be secured tightly in the cavity with velcro straps. If
battery shifts, control may be lost.
Test UAV balance at frame side center points with battery inserted. Adjust forward or backward for
best balance. Out of balance airframes add pressure to autopilots unnecessarily using battery
capacity to compensate.
GPS array mast may be stiff. Grip mast at center to raise 90°. Tightening clamp may take several
spins to fully secure.
Attach Yuneec Typhoon H 230mm props noting A and B types:
●A-types attach to motors with black caps by gripping motor and pressing down on the prop and twisting
counter-clockwise (per the arrows on the prop).
●B-types attach to motors with white caps by gripping motor and pressing down on the prop and twisting
clockwise (per the arrows on the prop).
