8.SetUp CleanFlight.

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"

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.

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.

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.

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!

9. Gimbal Mode and Settings

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.

uncontrollable then reset the

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.

Gimbal Down Gimbal UP

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.

RACE Mode

SELF-LEVEL Mode

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.

(Preset)

SELF-LEVEL MODE (Secondary): While in Self-Level Mode the gimbal will fully stabilize the camera angle parralel to the ground. This mode is recommended for beginners or people wanting a more stabilized view.

(Preset)

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 1 2

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.

"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.

How to congure your ESC adjustments:

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.

10.How to bind Spektrum satellite r eceiver?

1. Go to the "Ports" page. Under the

UART2 page area activate the

"Serial RX" tab. (Press Save and

Reboot)

2. Go to the "Configuration"

page. Select the “RX_Serial”

option and whether you are

using Spektrum 1024 or 2048

compatible receivers. (Press Save

and Reboot)

3. Go to the "Receiver" page.

Select the Channel Map for JR/

Spektrum/Graupner radios. (Press

Save and Reboot)

4. Enter into the command line the

following code:

"Set spektrum_sat_ = X"

"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

binded.

11. Conguring your VTX.

The Vengeance utilizes a 5.8GHz Selectable

25mW / 250mW Video Transmitter with 40Ch's

with Raceband.

Changing Channels and Bands:

Push button for more than 2 Seconds: Change Band. Push button for less than 1 Second: Change Frequency Channel.

The Vengeance's VTX utilizes a 25mW and

250mW selectable VTX. In most European and

Western Countries 25mW is the maximum Rf

output for 5.8Ghz. Please check with your law

and regulations to make sure that you con󺻠rm

with the law.

Adjusting the Rf power output for increased

range. You may cut the "RF limit wire" so that

you may transmit at 200mW power. If you wish

to later transmit at 25mW you may solder the

"RF limit wire" again.
