7. STARTING/STOPPING THE MOTORS
8. FLIGHT CONTROLS
FLYING
Take your me learning how TYPHOON responds to
various control inputs while flying. In Smart Mode
TYPHOON will always move in the direcon the
right-hand control sck is pushed relave to the pilot
and no maer which way the front/nose is pointed.
In Angle (Pilot) Mode TYPHOON will move in the
direcon the control sck is pushed relave to the
front/nose of the aircra (and the ‘angle’ of
movement is determined by how far you push the
sck away from the center posion). And please see
the corresponding secons of this instrucon
manual for more informaon on Smart Mode and
Angle (Pilot) Mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If at any me during flight you
feel like TYPHOON is driing out of/beyond your
control, simply release both control scks.
TYPHOON will automacally self-level and will even
hold its posion (with a suitable GPS signal/lock)
when both control scks are centered. You can also
acvate Home Mode so TYPHOON automacally
flies itself back to the home point and lands.
Climb (Max. Altude
400 Feet / 122 Meters)
Maximum Climb Rate:
2m/s (6.6f/s)
Maintain Altude
Descend / Land
Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind
TYPHOON. Press and hold the red START/STOP
buon for about 3 seconds to start, and about 2
seconds to stop the motors.
To takeoff, slowly raise the le-hand sck to slightly
above the center posion. TYPHOON will takeoff
and climb slowly (or raise the sck further unl it
does). Allow the sck to return to the center posion
when TYPHOON reaches the desired altude.
9. CONTROL RATE SLIDER
Set the overall climb/descend and direconal control
rates. Use the turtle posion for the lowest control
rates (best for first-me pilots and when flying
between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean Sea
Level). Use the rabbit posion for the highest control
rates (best for experienced pilots and only when
flying below 5000 feet AMSL.
10. SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE
TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight
modes that can be selected via the Flight Mode
Selecon Switch located just above the right-hand
control sck.
SMART MODE
When the Flight Mode Selecon Switch is the top
posion TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode. Although
we recommend learning to fly TYPHOON in Angle
(Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is
typically the best mode for first-me pilots to fly in
and also features ‘Follow Me’.
In Smart Mode TYPHOON will always move in the
direcon the right-hand control sck is pushed
relave to the pilot and no maer which way the
front/nose is pointed. So if you push the sck to the
le TYPHOON will always move to the le,
regardless of the direcon the nose is poinng and
even if it’s spinning. This mode can also be helpful for
pilots that lose orientaon while flying in Angle
(Pilot) Mode.

The Follow Me funcon allows the TYPHOON to
follow the pilot, adjusng its locaon to the locaon
of the ST10+. This funcon is enabled when ST10+
GPS posioning completes, and the TYPHOON is
using shared GPS signal with the ST10+. At this me,
you will see orange , and green follow in .
When in Follow Me funcon, the TYPHOON will
WATCH ME FUNCTION
Watch Me funcon enables the camera to keep
tracking the remote controller no maer where and
how it moves as the camera can automacally lt its
angle according to the controller.
Usually, the default funcon under Smart Mode is
Follow Me. Watch Me funcon can be switched to
by following steps:
In Watch Me funcon, the pilot will always be kept in the
frame wherever he moves.
HOME MODE
When the Flight Mode Selecon Switch is in the
boom posion TYPHOON will be in Home (also
known as Return to Home) Mode.
1) When the flight mode switch is in the top posion
TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode.
2) When the flight mode switch is in the middle
posion TYPHOON will be in Angle (also known as
Pilot) Mode.
3) When the flight mode switch is in the lowest
posion TYPHOON will be in Home Mode.
11. FLIGHT MODES
*SMART CIRCLE
In most cases the Smart Circle will keep TYPHOON
from coming within approximately 26 feet (8 meters)
of you (as long as you posion yourself at least 26
feet/8 meters behind TYPHOON.
GEO-FENCE
The geo-fence is a virtual ‘barrier’ that will keep
TYPHOON from traveling further than 300 feet (91
meters). Although this limit can be adjusted using the
USB interface/programmer and sowar we strongly
In Home Mode the GPS connecvity will fly back
TYPHOON in a straight line in the direcon of the
pilots’ current locaon, and automacally land
within 13-26 (4-8m) of the pilot. This can be very
helpful for first-me pilots who aren’t quite ready to
land TYPHOON themselves. It can also be helpful
for pilots that lose orientaon during flight; simply
acvate Home Mode unl TYPHOON automacally
moves toward the home posion, and once you’ve
confirmed orientaon switch back to Angle (Pilot)
Mode. And if TYPHOON ever loses the link with the
ST10+ it will automacally enter Home Mode.
When Home Mode is acvated TYPHOON will
respond as follows:
1. CHARGING THE BATTERIES

control. To help avoid obstacles we strongly
recommend to switch to Smart or Angle Mode (then
you can switch back to Home Mode).
WARNING: Home Mode only works when
TYPHOON has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If
TYPHOON loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to
Angle (Pilot) Mode automacally. This is why we
strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot)
Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose
GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly control
TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircra may
crash or even ‘fly away’.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’
