Technology

Revolutionary SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology uses an innovative combination of multi-axis sensors and software that allows model aircraft to know its position relative to the horizon. This spatial awareness is utilized to create a controlled ﬂ ight envelope the aircraft uses to maintain a safe region of bank and pitch angles so you can ﬂ y more safely. Far beyond stability, this level of protection offers multiple modes so the pilot can choose to develop his or her skills with a greater degree of security and ﬂ ight control that always feels crisp and responsive.

SAFE technology delivers:

• Flight envelope protection you can enable at the ﬂ ip of a switch.

• Multiple modes to let you adapt SAFE technology to your skill level instantly. Best of all, sophisticated SAFE technology doesn’t require any work to enjoy. Every aircraft with SAFE technology is ready to

use and optimized to offer the best possible ﬂ ight experience.

Flight Mode Selection

Refer to the Transmitter Setup section for transmitter switch selection and speciﬁ c setup information.

• Stability mode (quadcopter LED blue): the bank angle is limited. When the sticks are released, the quadcopter will return to level ﬂ ight.

• Agility mode (quadcopter LED red): the quadcopter has no bank angle limits and will not return to level ﬁ ght if the sticks are released. Use rates and expo to tune the performance according to your ﬂ ying style.

Flying the Quadcopter

Consult your local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft. We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in calm winds (less than 5 mph) or inside a large gymnasium. Always avoid

ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds.

Page 13

Takeo

Increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and concentrate on balancing the throttle stick’s position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude. In some cases, you may need to make a few short “hops” to an altitude of just a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude.

Hovering

The Nano QX2 FPV quadcopter requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover. Remember to keep these throttle adjustments as minimal as possible. Large adjustments could result in a loss of control and/or a possible crash.

While attempting to establish a low-level hover, check to see if any trim adjustments are required to help keep the quadcopter from constantly drifting in various directions. If you ﬁ nd that it constantly drifts without any directional control input, land the model before making any adjustments to the trim settings.

• If the nose of the quadcopter rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim.

• If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim.

• If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim.

Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little drifting and directional control input. If this is your ﬁ rst multicopter or helicopter, seek the help of an experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your ﬁ rst ﬂ ight.

With your quadcopter properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover, practice using the rudder, elevator and aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the machine’s responses to control inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

Once the battery reaches 3V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery. Land immediately once the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to ﬂ y after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash, or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Flight time with a fully charged battery is approximately 3-5 minutes, depending on how aggressively the quadcopter is ﬂ own.

LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.

Landing

To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover. After landing, lower the throttle completely to stop the motors. Disconnect and remove the battery from the quadcopter to prevent over discharge. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Using the Micro FPV Camera

Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment. In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner.

1. Power on your radio transmitter, then power on the aircraft.

2. Power on the video receiver to make sure the channel is clear.

3. Select the desired video transmitter channel by press- ing the button on the quadcopter to scroll through the available channels, 1-7, as shown.

4. Adjust the vertical camera angle by rotating the camera up or down prior to ﬂ ight.

5. Perform a range test before ﬂ ying.

If you experience static in the video feed, select a different channel.

NOTICE: The 25mW micro video camera range on your quadcopter is less than your ﬂ ight control transmitter range. Ensure you have adequate video camera range for ﬁ lming.

Tip: If you are ﬂ ying with an FPV headset and are prone to motion sickness, sit in a chair. If you start to suffer from motion sickness while ﬂ ying, lower your chin against your chest.

Fly in open areas, away from people, trees, cars, and buildings. The range of the system can be impacted by any obstructions blocking your signal. It is normal to see break up in the video going behind trees and other obstacles.

Avoid ﬂ ying in the same general area as 5.8 GHz WiFi sources as this may seriously degrade the range of the FPV system.

Fasteners

Propellers

Make sure the battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry, lint-free cloth.

Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over-tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screws so the parts are mated together, then turn screw only 1/8th of a turn more.

Make sure there is no damage to the propellers or other parts that move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches. Replace damaged parts before ﬂ ying.

Replacing the Propellers

Use the directions below to replace any propeller that becomes damaged:

1. Check tip angle of the propeller blades as shown.

2. Refer to the propeller rotation diagram to determine which propeller should be used.

3. Pull the damaged propeller off the motor shaft.

4. Slide the appropriate new propeller onto the motor shaft.

If the quadcopter crashes immediately upon increasing the throttle, conﬁ rm the propellers are located correctly.
