1.6 Compass Calibration Requirements
Compass has to be calibrated before using the first time. If else, it cannot work and will
affect flying safety. Calibration tips:
Please do not calibrate it in the place close to the high-magnetic field or big metal
materials, such as high-voltage, magnet, parking lot, concrete iron building, etc.
When calibrating, please do not bring the magnetic materials, such keys and
cellphone.
If it is calibrated indoor, please do not re-calibrate it outdoor. It prevents that the two
magnet differences cause the potential flying data errors.
Magnetic field location is different, please make sure re-calibrate when it changes to
the place far away from the previous one.

Attention:
1) The difference between CCW arm and CW arm is different rotation direction of the
propellers which produce lift force. There is a mark arrow on every motor holder to
help differentiate. CCW arrow means CCW arm, you need to install the CCW
propeller,otherwise it will be CW arm which you need to install the CW propeller.
2) When installing, the direction perpendicular to the flight control mounting plate is the
direction of the head.
3) According to the Figure 7, install CCW arm on M1 and M5, install CW arms on M2
and M4, install CCW Arm with LED on M3, install CW Arm with LED on M6.
4) During the installation of the arm, the arm cannot be folded when the stuff screw hole
is adjusted. The maximum angle is only horizontal with the ESC assembly, and the
arm can only be folded down.
2.3.3 Spraying Tube Installation
1) First, insert the Φ8 spraying tube into the three-way connector as Figure 14-1.
Second, through the spraying tube from the tube holder as Figure 14-2. And then
inset the other side of the spraying tube into the one-way connector at the nozzle
place as Figure 14-4. Install the other spraying tube the same way.
