embedded brass threaded sleeve, and the motor shaft to tighten the fixation
match, plus the aluminum paddle holder, to ensure a solid security.
Counterclockwise direction of rotation of the paddle is positive, anti-clockwise
rotation of propeller. Installation of the propeller as shown below, is positive
before and after the paddle, so is anti-paddle, can not be installed wrong.
For security, the first not to install the propeller, to be set after the completion
of the installation.
T580 uses 4 pieces 12-inch special propellers, for making sure the stable and
safty,the propeller use embeded nut and tightened with motor shaft, moreover, it
locked by blade folder.Propeller’s installation is as follows, the front and the
back are straight propellers, the left and the right are anti-propellers.

2.电池安装 Battery installation
T580 的电池采用粘带方式固定，拆装电池更方便。标准配置电池的规格为 3S 2200mAh
20C 1P 锂聚合物电池。
T580’s battery fixed by adhesive tap which is convenient for dismantle and
installation. Standard battery specifications are: 3S, 2200mAh, 20C,1P lithium
polymer battery.
3.遥控器设置 Remote control settings.
设置遥控器的飞机类型为固定翼模式，舵量 0～100％，无混控。1、2、3、4 通道的舵
量曲线全部置零，各微调全部回中。Set the transmitter on fixed wing mode, 0~100%
rudder rate, no mixing. Set zero on 1,2,3,4 channel’s rudder rate curve, and fine
turning on the middle.
打开遥控器电源，油门拉到最低位。飞行器放置在稳固的水平地面上电，无刷电机发出上
电提示音；打开机体底部的电源开关，蜂鸣器发出一声“嘀”提示音，表明飞控已开始工
作（请不要挪动飞行器，它将进入自检、初始化进程）。两秒钟后飞行器会发出一声“嘀”
提示音，表示电池满电。第三秒后响起一声“嘀”提示音，表示遥控信号正常并且油门在
最低位置。第六秒后响起“嘀--嘀--嘀”三短声提示音，表示飞行器已准备就绪。Turn on
the transmitter, pull the throttle on the lowest power. Brushless motor would
make a powered sound when you put the aircraft on flat ground and make it
power on; Turn on the power switch on the aircraft bottom, the flight control
system would start working after a beep tone(now, pelase don’t move the
aircraft, it would enter the self-checking, initialization process). The aircraft
would make a beep tone after two seconds to show the full charged battery.
You’ll hear a beep tone again on the third second, that means the normal
第18 页

T580 四旋翼飞行器
remote control signal and the throttle is on the lowest position. “Beep, beep,
beep”, three short sound would be heard after the sixth second, that means the
aircraft is ready to fly.
4.操作与动作 Operation and action
T580 设计为标准“十”字飞行模式。因为结构完全对称，没有明显的机体方向特征，
需要做出标示以代表飞行指向。黄色标示为飞行方向的“前”。T580 is designed on standard
cross letter flying mode.There needs a mark to show the direction because the
aircraft structure is completely symmetry and has no obvious direction feature.
The yellow marking stands for aircraft’s head.
为了确保安全调试，请不要多人协同操作，以免发生意外。To ensure the safety
testing, please do not over cooperation to avoid accidents.
接下来进行遥控动作检查。飞行器放在水平地面上，轻推油门启动全部马达。一手拿
起飞行器，适当推高一点油门，拉摇杆看飞行器有无相应的姿态倾斜。横滚摇杆打向左，
飞行器左边的马达减速，相应右马达为加速，姿态向左倾斜。反之亦然。前后方向用同样
手法测试。The next is to check remote control actions.Put the aircraft on the flat
ground and push throttle gently to start all motors. Hold up the aircraft by one
hand, push the throttle on a bigger power properly, pull the jointed arm to check
whether the aircraft tilt. Play the roll jointed arm on the left, left motor on
the aircraft would slow down,and right motor would speed up, and aircraft would
tilt on the left. And vice versa. The front and back direction can be tested by
the same way.
以美国手为例，以下图片表示出摇杆与飞行器的动作关联；如果动作不正确，请调整遥
控器的相应通道，或通过设置卡在飞行器上进行调整。Take American hand as example, the
followed pictures show the connection between jointed arm and aircraft; Please
adjust transmitter’s channel or adjust from aircraft’s setting if actions are
incorrect.
Push the throttle to take off
