with the correct polarity. After
wire installation has been
made please make sure to check in CleanFlight Software
that your "Channel Map" is consistent with your brand of
Transmitter. DO NOT ARM Vengeance with propellers on
for the 󺻠rst time without checking!

8.SetUp CleanFlight.
By default select UART1 for standard
PWM input Receivers.
When using Spektrum or other PPM
input receivers you must select
UART2 Serial RX and turn ON
DO NOTE! You must "Save and
Reboot" to save changes onto your
󺻡ight controller.
After properly connecting the
Vengeance via the Micro USB plug
to CleanFlight Software the program
should resemble your quadcopters
position.
Here is the Main Menu options
page. You may Calibrate and
update your flight parameters and
other settings. You can also update
and backup your flight controller
settings.
Download Google Chrome Browser,
go to Chrome Application Webstore
and download "CleanFlight" and
install it.
If it is your first-time installation of
Cleanflight you must click "Here"
to download and install "CP210X
Drivers"
10

By default the Vengeance comes
loaded with all preset options. The
Default parameters are to be used
with standard PWM input receivers.
If you would like to use a PWM
or S.BUS style receiver you must
con󺻠gure these settings yourself.
Receiver Mode: If you are using a
Satellite Receiver or PPM input you
may select the type of Receiver
here. For example: Spektrum PPM or
Futaba S.BUS.
By default the Vengeance is setup
to use standard PWM signal. The
user must use a 6Ch Transmitter to
utilize the Vengeances standard
functions ( 5Ch. Flight Mode
Selection, 6Ch. Gimbal Control)
"Serial Receiver Provider" option
allows you to select the type of PPM
(single-line) input Receiver you are
using.
If you edit the Receiver Input type
please make sure DO NOT ARM
motors until you have verified that
your "Channel MAP" corresponds to
your Transmitter. Failure to do so can
lead to possible bodily damage.
DO NOTE! You must "Save and
Reboot" to save changes onto your
󺻡ight controller.
11

The colored indication bars
in CleanFlight represent
your real time channel PWM
signal. Make sure to turn
your Transmitter ON so you
may check your trim and to
make sure your channels moves in the correct direction.
It is important to note that when you move your Transmitter sticks that your Transmitters Travel Adjustment (ATV)
must move to less than 1100 and more than 1900. If your Transmitters Travel Adjustment is not properly setup
than your Vengeance will not ARM. To ARM your Vengeance move your YAW/RUDDER stick to the Bottom and
RIGHT position for 1-2 seconds. DO NOT ARM Vengeance with propellers on for the 󺻠rst time!
The "Receiver" directory of
CleanFlight helps to show you your
Channel Map and the position
of your Transmitters controls with
respect to the Flight Controller.
Under the "Channel Map"
option please choose if you
are using Futaba / Hitec or JR /
Spektrum / Graupner.
DO NOTE! You must "Save and
Reboot" to save changes onto your
󺻡ight controller.

RACE MODE (Default): While in Race Mode the camera will
dampen any oscillations during flight while viewing in the
Vengeances general preset camera view angle. Oscillations
under 0.4seconds will be dampended out. Race Mode is
designed to dampen rapid changes in pitch thus stabilizing
your view.
PPM Receiver and Gimbal Note: While using RACE MODE adjusting the camera angle via PPM is not supported. SELF-LEVEL MODE is not
supported via PPM wire. If you wish to have full-access to your camera gimbal you must use a standard PWM receiver.

beginners or people wanting a more stabilized view.
SELF-LEVEL Mode (Preset)
How To Change Gimbal Stabilization Modes:
There are two types of gimbal stabilization modes. First mode (by default) is
"Race Mode". The second mode is "Self-Level Mode". To change between
modes quickly press the "Mode Change Button" twice with a small tool.
DO NOTE: Mode switching cannot be remembered by the gimbal
after unplugging the battery. When you unplug the battery from the
Vengeance the gimbal will reset to "Race Mode" by default.

The Vengeance utilizes a
brushless gimbal for pitch
dampening and view
adjustment.
1.When turning ON the
Vengeance please keep the
Vengeance level and do not
move for about 5 seconds. The
gimbal sensors must detect the
horizontal position.
2.Make sure that the Gimbal's
wires are not tangled and are
able to move freely. Failure
to free the Gimbal head from
obstructions may lead to the
Gimbal motor to fail.
3.W h e n p o w e r i s

Vengeance if the g

power and power again.
4.After the gimbal is set and
detects horizontal positioning
after 5 seconds you may
rotate the gimbal with your hand to 󺻠nd your
desired camera view angle.
5.Ch.6 on your PWM Receiver can be used to
control the Gimbal rotation UP or DOWN.

PID Tuning Configuration. PID
Tuning is used to adjust the flight
characteristics. Default PID settings
for the Vengeance is set for
beginners and intermediate pilots.
If you wish to fly faster you may
reduce the ROLL and PITCH PID
settings both by -0.2 for reduced
sensitivity.
If you wish to increase the sensitivity
of the Vengeance's ROLL / PITCH/
YAW you may increase the PID
settings to no more than 0.8,
otherwise it will be dif󺻠cult to control.
DO NOTE! You must "Save and Reboot" to
save changes onto your 󺻡ight controller.
The Vengeance includes three
preset 󺻡ight modes. The 󺻠ght mode
switch is used on Ch.5 of your
transmitter, a three-position toggle
switch is recommended.
0: ANGLE: For beginners
use. Features automatic level
stabilization. *Due to the eight
degree forward motor-tilt the
Vengeance will naturally try to fly
slightly forward while hovering.
1: ANGLE + BARO: For beginners
use. Features automatic level
stabilization. Integrated BMP sensor
will automatically will try to hold the
󺻡ight altitude.
2: Manual: For advance
use. Disables automatic level
stabilization. Used for rolls and 󺻡ips.
DO NOTE! You must "Save and
Reboot" to save changes onto your
󺻡ight controller.

The Vengeance uses four different motors and ESC's. Sometime there might be a inconsistent distrubtion of
power among your Vengeance which could lead to poor 󺻡ight performanc and handling. To reset your ESC
and tune them properly please follow the below steps:
1. Remove ALL propellers before con󺻠guration! Failure to
do so may lead to bodily harm.
2. Connect the Flight Controller to CleanFlight without the
main 󺻡ight battery connected.
3. Turn the motor "Test Switch On"
4. Move the "Master" switch to the maximum level
5. Connect the main flight battery to the Vengeance.
Wait 󺻠ve seconds after the ESC makes a gradual rise in
noise
6. Move the "Master" switch to the minium level, you will
hear a gradual decline in ESC sound.
7. Turn OFF the Master Switch and unplug the 󺻡ight battery.
"Adjustments" Configuration
Page: Here is where you can
set advanced features on the
Vengeance via AUX channels on
your Transmitter.
It is important to understand all the
functions that you enable. Check
your AUX channel's by looking at
the "Channel Map" configuration
page.
Motor Configuration Page: This
page is used to adjust your motor
settings if you wish to do so, though
the Vengeance becomes already
pre-configured. Before testing this
feature make sure to remove ALL
propellers before trying. Failure to
do so may result in bodily harm.

"Enter"
X Value = Receiver mode
3 = DSM2 1024bit / 22ms
5 = DSM2 2048bit / 11ms
7 = DSMX 1024bit / 22ms
9 = DSMX 2048bit / 11ms
5. Insert "Save" and press Enter. A
Message pop-up will appear
"Save & Rebooting."
6. Unplug the USB, then immediately
reconnect USB.
7. The satellite receiver LED will start
to 󺻡ash.
8. Hold the “Bind”switch on your
transmitter and turn ON.
9. The Satellite receiver LED will dim
and then reappear. You are now
