Balance the UAV.
1. Remove the Hood
2. Place the Battery on the top of the frame.
3. Lift the vehicle as shown in the picture.
4. If the UAV tilt to the front or back move the battery and/or the payload in order
to balance.
3. Prepare Remote Controller
Once the Remote control is active the connection will
automatically start. Check the connection is stablish and
before fly place the antennas correctly.
4. Before Flying
Compass Calibration
* Calibration has to be perform any time the aircraft requires it. In addition it should be
done every time the start point varies more than 100km.

RTK
In case the RTK version of the UAV is provided, place
it near the ground station, 2 or 3 meters above
ground to get a clear signal. It has to be also enabled
in the GCS.
Check Flight Environment
* Check no fly zones here: https://map2fly.flynex.de/. For more information refer to the
user manual.
Visual Inspection of the Vehicle
Before flying perform a visual inspection of the vehicle looking for obstruction at the rotos
or any screw or cable loose.
Before every flight
check if it is allow
to fly at the
specific location
Avoid flying under
snow, rain, fog,
over people,
streets and
industrial facilities
