3. Preparing Before Flight
3.1 Charge
First, please keep your battery is 4.2V to ensure your F110 with enough power to fly, you can charge your battery by CM120 if not fully charged.
Professional Designed LiPo Battery Charger CM120 Energy Supply Station
Brand new designed LiPo battery charger CM120, designed for 1S LiPo battery. Inherit the high precision of CB86PLUS, make the charging more safe, battery which
Radiolink Electronic Limited

charged by CM120 is more powerful can flight about five to eight minutes. Charging current can setup 1A or 2A by toggle the switch as you need.
Red LED indicate charging mode and green LED indicate the battery is fully charged. CM120 use universal USB connector, so you can use computer or power bank for mobile phone as the power supply for CM120. Pay attention: ensure the voltage output of power supply is not higher than 5V.
3.2 Remote Controller Setup Setup If Controlled by AT9S/AT9/AT10/AT10II
(1) Please turn on AT9S/AT9(DC 7.4~18V) or AT10/AT10II(DC 7.4~15V) first.
(2) Make sure the model type of AT9S/AT9/AT10/AT10II is multirotor model,
and the CH3(throttle) is reverse.
Setup in BASIC MENU--MODEL TYPE--MULTIROTOR
Back to BASIC MENU---REVERSE--setup 3: THRO REV

Setup in ADVANCE MENU--ATTITUDE--CH:CH5, SW3:SwC
Setup both up and center position of SwC STABL. Model and down position AUTO model or other mode.
AT9S/AT9/AT10/AT10II: SwC at the up or center position shows that F110 will flight
in Stabilize Mode while SwC at the bottom position shows that F110 flight in Low Speed Mode.
Setup If Controlled by T8FB
(1) Please turn on T8FB(DC 4.8~18V) first. (2) Make sure the model type of T8FB is multirotor model, and the CH3(throttle) is reverse.
Radiolink Electronic Limited
www.radiolink.com
If you need change parameters, please connect T8FB and computer via a universal android USB cable, setup details please read the T8FB user manual(you can download from our website www.radiolink.com).
T8FB: SwB at the up or center position shows that F110 will flight in Stabilize Mode while SwB at the bottom position shows that F110 flight in Low Speed Mode.
3.3 Power On and Bind
3.3.1 Power On
(1) Orange propellers default indicate the head direction, if you change the propellers, you can make sure the head direction by check the flight controller CS360(like the picture), make sure before power F110 on.
Radiolink Electronic Limited
www.radiolink.com
(2) Please put the F110 on a level surface, the green LED will blinking after power on about 2 seconds, do not move F110 when green LED blinking.
(3) F110 finished the calibration after green LED off.
Attention: Head direction have been determinate, if you put not same as the
direction that when you calibrate, it will back to the same direction automatically
when F110 start to fly, that we called Head Front Forward Point Without Compass.
3.3.2 Bind
F110 sells with receiver R6DSM or R8FM .
(1) Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within 1 meters.
(2) Turn on the transmitter, then power on the R6DSM or R8FM.
(3) Connect R6DSM or R8FM to flight controller CS360(it default connect).
(4) There is a black button on the R6DSM and R8FM, press the binding button twice
in two seconds and release, receiver light start blinking, after about 8 times blinking, match code success when receiver signal LED always on!
Attention: If your transmitter is AT10II, it will default that the channel is setup 12CH, you have to setup channel from 12CH to 10CH in SYSTEM menu because R6DSM is a 10 channels receiver.(AT9, AT9S and AT10 are the same) F110 now just support S-BUS signal, both R6DSM and R8FM support S-BUS and PPM signal, please make sure that the LED of R6DSM/R8FM is blue which shows R6DSM/R8FM output S-BUS signals.
Both R6DSM and R8FM can recognize signal by check the bind LED. Blue/purple LED
indicates S-BUS signal and red LED indicates PPM signal.
If you need change signal from PPM to S-BUS, please short press the ID SET switch
two times within 1 second, the signal is changed from SBUS to PPM. The red LED
indicates the PPM and blue/purple indicates S-BUS.

3.4 How to Disarm (Use T8FB as an example)
Throttle on left stick: move the left stick to the lower right corner, keep about 2
seconds till green LED on.
Throttle on right stick: move the left stick to the lower right corner and the
right(throttle) stick to the lower position, keep about 2 seconds till green LED on.
Disarm Gesture

3.5 How to Arm:
Move the throttle stick to the lower position and rudder stick, keep about 2 seconds
till green LED off.
Arm Gesture
4. Low Voltage Alarm
The green LED of flight controller CS360 is blinking all the time indicate that the voltage of F110 is lower than 3.8V(we default F110 is ready to alarm if the battery lower than 3.8V), please prepare for charge your battery.
5. Flight Controller CS360 Introduction
Brand new self-developed flight controller system CS360, breaking the defects of Euler angles singular value, using rotation vector algorithms ensure the F110 can fly in angle mode even under high-speed.
CS360 support both coreless and brushless motor, compatible all kinds of quadcopters.
There’s six output port, including a battery voltage testing port and a buzzer connect port to indicate disarm or low voltage.
The power supply of CS360 support 1S(4.2V) or 2S(8.4V) or BEC(+5V). Power supply with a 2S battery will make the F110 more powerful, but you have to change the motors that support 2S battery.
When use 1S battery: the camera will powered by the 1S battery directly.
When use 2S battery: the current of camera is 0.5A, the voltage is 5V, camera you bought from Radiolink, come with F110 is not support 2S battery.
BL(bonding pad): short circuit the bonding pad indicates the CS360 is brush mode while without short circuit indicates brushless mode(use brushless BEC). CS360

support almost all kinds of coreless motors including 1020.
Size of PCBA: 21*32* 1.2mm.
Attention: Please make sure the voltage of battery before power on your F110, choose BL 1S or BL 2S if you want to DIY, do not short circuit the three BL at the same time.
6. Read Before Use F110
6.1 Read Before Start to Flight
(1) Since F100 have not Altitude Hold so far, keep the throttle stick smoothly to avoid
F110 suddenly drastically up and down.
(2) Put the throttle stick to the lower position immediately to let motor stop work when F110 knock something. (3) Let the motor be perpendicular to F110 plate.

6.2 Read Before try the Throw and Fly Mode
(1) Make sure you can control F110 skillful and at a pretty wide open space to try the
Throw and Fly Mode.
(2) Make sure the head direction and then throw and fly the F110.
(3) Push the throttle stick as soon as throw your F110 and try your best throw it
upward.
(4) F110 can correct attitude and direction automatically. If you throw F110 too hard,
it may fly to a direction all the time because of the inertia, you can correct the
direction by move sticks.
7. Flight Mode
RadioLink racing drone F110 have Stabilize Mode and Low Speed Mode so far.
7.1 Stabilize Mode
AT9S/AT9/AT10/AT10II: Move SwC to the up or center position that keep F110 work
in Stabilize Mode.
T8FB: Move SwB to the up or center position that keep F110 work in Stabilize Mode.
7.2 Low Speed Mode
AT9S/AT9/AT10/AT10II: Move SwC to the bottom position that keep F110 work in
Low Speed Mode. T8FB: Move SwB to the bottom position that keep F110 work in Low Speed Mode.
Low Speed Mode will slower than Stabilize Mode and with and less angular variation when flight, suggest that RC beginners control with Stabilize Mode.
8. Calibration
Level calibration have finished when you received the F110, you can re-calibrate if you need. Level Calibration: Please put the F110 on a level surface, the left stick to the lower left position and the right stick to the lower right position, keep about 3 seconds, the green LED will blinking once, power on again, then calibrate success.
