Auto Flight Mode, Waypoints Mode and RTL, perfectly works with RadioLink GPS with centimeter position
accuracy.The Kalman Filter Algorithm applied in Mini Pix ensures the stability and makes F450 suitable even
for beginners to practice from Stabilize to AltHold then to PosHold Mode.
The frame is capable of installing multiple devices such as camera, PTZ, thrower, ultrasonic sensor,
optical flow module and so on.
The powerful system is assembled with the renowned components in drone industry including GEMFAN
propellers, FLYCOLOR ESC,SZ-SPEED motor,FULLYMAX battery, RadioLink transmitter to maxmize the
efficiency and offer the best athletic experience with best power.
1.2 About F450
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.RadioLink.com

1.3 Prepare F450
F450 ARF set is packed by aluminium case with all accessories installed, including parameters of
transmitter and fight controller are done setting. When receive the set, all pilots need is to plug fully-charged
lithium batteries in the transmitter and the aircraft and then it is ready to fly.
If the aircraft is left unused for a long time, it is strongly advisable to uninstall the propellers with the
professional tool packed in the set and to (dis)charge the batteries to best storage status, that is, 3.8V per cell
to avoid unexpected damage and to extend the product life span.
1.4 Prepare Transmitter
F450 has two versions, including stand-alone version and ARF version.
①pilots who purchase the stand-alone version, please follow the appropriate transmitter manual to install
the receiver and bind the aircraft with the transmitter after receiving F450.
②ARF version includes the standard version with 8CH transmitter T8FB and the advanced version with
10/12CH transmitter AT9S.
Always ensure all batteries have been properly charged prior to using the transmitter. T8FB works with
Lithium 2S-4S battery or 4 pieces AA battery while AT9S/AT10II works with Lithium 2S-4S battery or 8 pieces
AA battery. To avoid batteries over discharged, alarm of low voltage can be set after connecting plug batteries
in transmitter.
T8FB is developed as self-adapted alarm by default and it will automatically give an alarm when the
voltage becomes low depending on either 2S or 3S battery pilots use. As to AT9S/AT10II, please press
“MODE”to enter the BASIC MENU => Select “PARAMETER”and enter=> Set “TX-ALARM” according to the
actual battery used. For example, if batteries used in pilots transmitter is 2S, then it’s 4.2V*2S=8.4V when fully
charged. As the voltage of a single cell is 3.7V, we usually set the low voltage alarm as 3.7V*2S=7.4V.
Chapter 2 Aircraft Setup
F450 consists of flight controller system, remote controller system, GPS system, power system, image
transmission system. This chapter is about the aircraft’s components and the feature of each function.
2.1 ARF Version Setup
RadioLink F450 has two versions, including stand-alone version and ARF version.
ARF version means Almost Ready to Fly. Pilots only need to power on the transmitter and the aircraft and
unlock the both prior to flight.
2.1.1 Basic Operation of the Transmitter
As the aircraft is controlled to realize all movements by operating the remote controller, it’s important to
know its basic operation.
Remote controller is also called transmitter and should work with a receiver. Transmitter in a pilot’s hand
and receiver in an aircraft to work as the flight controller system. Currently transmitters on the market are
2.4GHz （2400MHz~2483.5MHz）.
The 4 basic channels of all transmitters are always the same: CH1- Aileron/Roll; CH2- Elevator/Pitching;
CH3-Throttle; CH4-Rudder.
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.RadioLink.com
3
These four basic channels are operated by the two sticks on the transmitter. Most transmitters have not
only these 4 channels but also other auxiliary channels such as switches for changing fight modes, controlling
PTZ and camera. These commands will be passed to the receiver on aircraft via wireless signal by the
emission system of transmitter. So we usually name the channels besides 4 basic ones auxiliary channels.
The left stick controls the throttle by toggling up and down to make aircraft lift and descend vertically and
the rudder by toggling left and right to make aircraft turn clockwise and anticlockwise.
The right stick controls the elevator/pitching by toggling up and down to make aircraft forward and
backward and the aileron/roll by toggling left and right to make aircraft move left and right horizontally.
Here is a picture showing T8FB as an example while AT9S/AT10II is operated as the same way:

2.1.2 Arm
2.1.2.1 Arm F450
Power on the transmitter and aircraft, make sure the throttle stick is at the lowest position and press the safety
button (Red) till the indicate LED is always on instead of flashing.
2.1.2.2 Arm Transmitter
When the safety button on F450 is always on, pilots have better keep distant from the aircraft to ensure the
safety and check the current flight mode. The transmitter can only be armed under the Stabilize Mode and
Alt-hold Mode.
Arm and Disarm (Shown with RadioLink T8FB as below. AT9S/AT10II can be (dis)armed as the
same way):
Arm with Left Throttle: Toggle the left stick(Throttle) to the right bottom for 2s and a beep sound can be
heard from the aircraft. The indicate color on flight controller will be flashing blue. Slightly push the throttle at
the Stabilize Mode (If at Alt-hold Mode, the throttle better to be pushed over the central point), the motors and
propellers start moving means the aircraft is successfully unlocked.
Disarm with Left Throttle: Throttle to the left bottom for 2s, the motors stop moving.
Note If arming with success at the Alt-Hold Mode, the aircraft will take off only after the throttle gimbal stick
is toggle above the central point. When the aircraft reaches a certain height, toggle the throttle stick back to
center and it will remain at this height.

Arm with Right Throttle: Toggle the left stick to the right bottom while the throttle/right stick to vertical
lowest bottom for 2s and a beep sound can be heard from the aircraft. The indicate color on flight controller will
be flashing blue. Slightly push the throttle at the Stabilize Mode (If at Alt-hold Mode, the throttle better to be
pushed over the central point), the motors and propellers start moving means the aircraft is successfully
unlocked.
Disarm with Right Throttle: Toggle the rudder/left stick to the left bottom while the throttle/right stick to
vertical lowest bottom for 2s, the motors stop moving.
Note: When the aircraft is to land, it is advised to change the flight Mode to STABILIZE MODE
because it will be easier to disarm. Toggle the throttle to the vertical bottom for about 5s till the
propellers stop moving then disarm the transmitter as the above steps. Otherwise the aircraft may be
repeatedly up and down or rolled over as the result of trying to disarm in a rush.
When the transmitter is successfully disarmed, please make sure to long press the safety button of
the aircraft till the RED indicate LED flashes.

At the Alt-hold Mode, the aircraft cannot take off until the throttle is moved over the central point. When the
aircraft rises to a certain height, it will remain at this altitude if the throttle is back to the central point.
2.1.3 Flight Modes Introduction
F450 has four flight modes by default: Stabilize Mode, Alt-Hold Mode, Pos-Hold Mode and RTL Mode.
In Chapter 2.1.1 Basic Operation of the Transmitter, the functions of auxiliary channels were mentioned.
One of those is to switch the flight mode.
For T8FB,the 3-way switch (SWB on the right) by default, UP is Stabilize Mode, MID is Alt-Hold Mode,
DWN is Pos-Hold Mode while CH2 (SWA on the left) DWN is RTL Mode.
For AT9S, the 3-way switch (SWC on the right) by default, UP is Stabilize Mode, MID is Alt-Hold Mode,
DWN is Pos-Hold Mode while CH2 (SWD on the left) DWN is RTL Mode.
2.1.3.1 Stabilize Mode
1Pilots use rolling and pitching to control the inclination angle of the aircraft. When the roll/pitch stick is
loose, the aircraft will be automatically back to horizontal status. With the windy weather, pilots need to
continuously correct the rolling and pitching angle to keep the aircraft at the same position.
2Pilots use the rudder stick to control the turning velocity. When the rudder stick is loose, the aircraft
will keep the direction.
3Pilots use throttle to control the average rotation rate of the motors and need to continuously toggle
the throttle to remain the aircraft at the certain height. The throttle input will automatically change according to
the aircraft inclination to cohere with height change brought by the aircraft inclination, eg. If the inclination angle
is too big, it will automatically increase.
2.1.3.2 Alt-Hold Mode
At Alt-Hold Mode, flight controller will automatically control the throttle to remain the height. The operations
of rolling, pitching and rudder are to directly control the turning angle and direction of the aircraft, same as
Stabilize Mode.

Comparing with Stabilize Mode, the Alt-Hold Mode is easier to control because the aircraft will remain at a
certain height if the throttle stick is at the central point after pilots toggle it over to lift. And they only need to
toggle the rolling/pitching stick to make the aircraft move (forward/backward/left/right), which is easier for
beginners to practice.
WARNING! Flight controller takes the test result made by barometric altimeter as the height base. If the
pressure changes, the height could possibly be incorrect, which is not the actual height. Unless the ultrasonic
module is installed to detect the distance and the flight height is less than 20 feet. Ultrasonic sensor can detect
flight height more accurately if less than 26 feet.
Stick Operation at Alt-Hold Mode
Throttle stick is to control the rising and descending velocity of the aircraft.
Aircraft remains the height when the throttle is held at middle point (between 40%-60%)
If the throttle is toggled out of this range, the aircraft will be up or down to varying degrees. The max
distance of rising or descending is 2.5m/s.
Take-off at Alt-Hold Mode
At Alt-Hold Mode, only the throttle stick is pushed over the central point can the aircraft be lifted. When the
aircraft reaches certain height, toggle the throttle stick back at the middle, it will remain at the same altitude.
Landing at Alt-Hold Mode
At Alt-Hold Mode, toggle the throttle slowly to the bottom to land the aircraft. Once landed, the motors
won’t stop immediately. If pilots disarm the aircraft immediately by pulling the throttle stick to the bottom outside
corner, the aircraft will possibly roll over. It’s better to wait for 10 more seconds till the aircraft detects landing
and the motors stop completely to lock.
2.1.3.3 Pos-Hold Mode
At Pos-Hold Mode, the aircraft will automatically keep current position, direction and altitude. That is, the
aircraft will remain the same position if pilots don’t toggle sticks. But they can still take rolling and pitching stick
to make the aircraft move forward/backward/left/right, as the other flight modes.
To realize the good performance of Pos-Hold mode, the GPS, satellite searching, low disturbance
of electromagnetism and low vibration are all very important factors.
When using the Pos-Hold Mode or RTL Mode, pilots have better to wait for 1 minute until the satellite
searching of GPS reaches 14 stars or above after powering on the aircraft and the modes will work better. The
satellite searching depends on the actual weather and landform.
Note When at Pos-Hold Mode, the aircraft can’t be armed if the satellites are less than 9 stars or the
accuracy is more than 1.2 meters.
2.1.3.4 RTL Mode
When change to RTL mode, the aircraft will return to the place where it initially took off. By default, aircraft
will firstly fly up to the height of at least 15m before returning. Or, if the aircraft is higher than 15m when RTL
Mode is on, it will decrease to the height of 15m then return. If pilots enjoy the flight around the obstacles that
higher than 15m, make sure to set up the RTL height in Mission Planner. The detailed setup steps please refer
to instruction manual of RadioLink Mini Pix downloaded via :
http://RadioLink.com.cn/doce/UploadFile/ProductFile/MiniPixManual.pdf
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.RadioLink.com

RTL Mode works with GPS, which is indispensable to locate before changing to this Mode. The Mode
commands the aircraft to return “HOME”where it takes off. Therefore, “HOME”should always be the place that
the GPS locates where the aircraft actually takes off, without obstacles and far away from crowds.
2.1.4 RTL Mode Enabled
Besides manually enabled by pilots (Switch on SWA of T8FB or SWD of AT9S), RTL Mode of F450 can be
automatically activated under the below two situations:
a. Signals lost. WOLF QAV 210 will activate the RTL Mode by itself.
b. Low voltage. When the voltage is lower than 10.6V (with 3S lithium battery) after a period of flight, WOLF
QAV 210 will activate the RTL Mode by itself. It will automatically rise up to a certain height (15m by
default) and then land on the point that it takes off. By the moment, F450 won’t move even if pilots toggle
the transmitter sticks. Please lock the aircraft once landed and disconnect the battery and get it charged.
2.2 Stand-alone Version Setup
As all parameters of transmitter and aircraft have been set, the ARF version is ready to flight once purchased.
But as the stand-alone version doesn’t go with a transmitter, parameters of the transmitter need to be set
though that of ARF version has been done.
Pilots who purchase stand-alone version of F450 need to: install Mission Planner to work with the flight
controller, bind the transmitter and receiver and get the parameters set, calibrate the ESC and install the props.
Note: F450 Stand-alone version is also compatible with the transmitter and receiver of the other brand.
But please make sure that the receiver is SBUS/PPM supported.
2.2.1 Binding Transmitter to F450
Every transmitter owns a unique ID code. Before using, binding transmitter to receiver on aircraft is a must.
When done binding, ID code will be stored in the receiver, no need to rebind.
If pilots’ transmitter has done binding with receiver, only need to connect the receiver to the Mini Pix flight
controller after receiving the stand-alone version of F450.
RadioLink Electronic Ltd
www.RadioLink.com
9
Binding the transmitter to the receiver is essential. Otherwise, the aircraft cannot take off.
RadioLink receivers R12DSM/R6DSM are compatible with transmitters AT9/AT9S/AT10/AT10II while
R8FM is compatible with transmitter T8FB.
Binding steps of all RadioLink transmitters and receivers are the same as follow:
（1）Put the transmitter and the receiver together within 1 meter.
（2）Power on the transmitter and the receiver. The receiver will bind to the closest transmitter.
（3）Press the ID SET on the side of the receiver for more than 1s, the flashing LED means binding starts.
（4）When LED stops flashing, binding is complete.
When binding is done, please check if the receiver change to SBUS/PPM output . Generally we use
SBUS signal. LED on all receivers from RadioLink is blue/purple means SBUS signal while red means PWM
signal. Pilots can short press the binding code twice within 1s to switch the signals output of the receiver.
2.2.2 Installation of Mission Planner
To run the Mission Planner installation, NET. Framework from Microsoft is needed. Link is as below

Mini Pix has various flight modes for option. But F450 is with four flight modes as factory setting by default
including Stabilize Mode, Alt-Hold Mode, Pos-Hold Mode and RTL Mode. Therefore, if no other flight modes
needed, pilots just set the flight modes in transmitter corresponding to those in flight controller.

The default parameters of T8FB is set as that of Mini Pix. If it is the transmitter model of T8FB purchased
with F450, then this part can be skipped as the flight modes are already set identical. Pilots only need to
calibrate joysticks and ESC.
Note: The following steps take AT9S as example, AT10II/AT10/AT9 can be set as the same way
1. When binding completed between transmitter and aircraft/receiver, click INITIAL SETUP

Default channel is CH5 while setting the 3-way switch as SWC and the 2-way switch as SWA or SWD,
pilots can personalize the setting basing on own flight habits
Note The PWM value ( RATE on the second column as below shown) can be modified with corresponding
POSI (eg. UP-UP) while SWT is (ON). Toggle positions of SWC and SWA/SWD to select different POSI.
2. When flight mode 1 in MP is Stabilize, the first ATTITUE on transmitter should be set as
Stabilize and the corresponding parameters setup in MP should be set as below:
1Check the first attitude, if POSI is (UP-UP) . If not, please toggle the switch to the right position
with - swt- is on
2Turn the dial to the percentage rate on the transmitter LCD screen and PUSH to select and turn
the dial to modify
3Check the PWM value of the corresponding flight mode on MP
When setting the PWM value on transmitter, the corresponding PWM value on MP will change accordingly.
Each flight mode has the PWM range and when the value is within, it means the current mode is set.
