SECURITY DISCLAIMER
Security of information for aircraft products has become a major concern for UAS operators that do not wish for their ight
information and collected imagery to be accessed by outside entities or governments. Most leading aircraft manufacturers
do not have the ability to secure this type of information. A typical consumer aircraft sends all the metadata information,
such as aircraft position history and copies of all video and photography les, to unsecured cloud accounts. Some
aircraft manufacturers require the operator/owner of the aircraft to create an online cloud account before the aircraft
can be activated. This cloud account downloads all the information and history from the aircraft every time the system
is connected to the internet or when a rmware update is performed regardless of whether the operator/owner gives
consent. This raises serious security concerns for UAS operators that y their aircrafts near secure and sensitive locations,
such as military installations and airports.

AIRCRAFT
INSERTING THE AIRCRAFT BATTERY
Be sure that the aircraft battery is fully charged ( Refer to Charging the aircraft Battery Section )
The aircraft battery contains a contact lubricant suitable for electronic connectors.The grease is white in
appearance and can be seen on the aircraft power connector and aircraft battery. The lubricant is designed
to last for full lifetime of the aircraft and improve electrical performance. The white appearance is normal.
The user MUST not attempt to replace the grease with any other products. No attempts should be made to
remove the lubricant.
See diagram for battery installation intructions
Steps for aircraft battery installation:
1. First ensure the battery is turned OFF .
2. Then ensure the orientation of the battery is correct, the OLED display should be pointing upwards.
3. Insert by pushing the battery gently into the aircraft until the two latches of the battery engage into the aircraft.

REMOVING THE AIRCRAFT BATTERY
AIRCRAFT FLIGHT CONTROL
Remove the battery by squeezing the battery mechanical latches and pulling the battery out of the aircraft.
Ensure the aircraft battery is turned OFF before inserting or removing it from the aircraft or battery charger.
When removing the battery from the aircraft allow the battery to cool to room temperature before charging
the battery with the supplied charger.
See diagram for removing the aircraft battery below
Flight control of the Evolve is accomplished by manipulating the control sticks on the ground controller. Proper orientation
must always be considered when ying the aircraft. A basic rule of thumb when remote piloting a aircraft is to realize
that when the aircraft’s nose, or front end, is facing the pilot the control inputs for roll and yaw are backwards. This
disorientation is the leading cause of all aircraft accidents that are due to pilot error. Therefore, it is very important to
practice piloting in the proper orientation. This includes
• Positioning the aircraft’s nose, or front end, away from the pilot.
• Be sure to stand at least 6ft directly behind the aircraft and keep the nose pointed away from you.
• Fly in an open area free of obstacles such as trees, power lines, and buildings.
• Make sure you are ying in GPS mode. (The aircraft will automatically hold position when the control sticks
are released )
• Ensure that all spectators are standing behind you.
Steps for removing the aircraft battery:
1. First ensure the battery is turned OFF.
2. Squeeze the top and bottom latches to disengage the lock.
3. Remove by rmly gripping and pulling the battery from the aircraft.
(MODE 2)
AIRCRAFT AND PILOT ORIENTATION
Ensure that thr operator and aircraft are both facing the same direction prior to launch.
14 15Evolve User Manual V1.0 by XDynamics Limited
Page 10
BEGINNER MODE
User may enable Beginner Mode at the Settings Page. After enabling the Beginner Mode, the aircraft can only be own
within a spherical radius of 30m from the take-off point.
FLIGHT MODES
The Evolve aircraft has 3 ight modes that the operator can choose from. The modes are selected by a 3-position switch
located on the top left of the remote controller. Below is a description of each:
1. Attitude Mode
(Left position on the 3-position Switch)
In this mode the aircraft will hold in level attitude orientation when
the control sticks are released, but it will not hold position. This
results in the aircraft drifting in the direction the wind is blowing
and the operator must control position at all times. This mode is
only recommended for experienced operators and it is meant for
smoother breaking reactions and camera panning.
Position 1 – Attitude Mode
2. GPS Mode
(Centre position on 3-position Switch)
In this mode, with a strong GPS signal, the aircraft will hold position
when the control sticks are released. This mode is suggested for
beginner operators.
3. Smart Mode
(Right position on 3-position Switch)
In this mode, with a strong GPS signal, the aircraft can perform the
Smart Pilot functions such as Waypoint Operation, Point of interest,
Easy Course and other modes. When the aircraft is not performing a
smart function it will y in GPS Mode.
Position 2 – GPS Mode
Position 3 – Smart Mode

PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
The checklist below is recommended before every aircraft ight. Aircraft operators are encouraged to add more items that
might be required for particular operations.
1. Weather Limitations
Although the Evolve is a high performance aircraft, weather can be a crucial factor to ight performance and safe
operations. Caution must be observed when it comes to weather planning. Effective weather planning breaks down to
these criteria:
• Weather information gathering – This can be achieved by watching your local news weather station and by
using the web and APP tools like The Weather Channel and NOAA.
• Knowledge of weather patterns in your operational area – Search for local weather patterns with similar APP
tools for forecasting weather.
• Executing ight plan and go or no go situations based on the weather information – Be sure to make
informed decisions based on accurate weather information and remember no ight is too important to
ignore hazards created by inclement weather.
If these criteria are met, the chances of a crash or close calls are substantially reduced.
Below is the weather limitation of the Evolve:
FLIGHT
• Wind speed - 25mph for maximum safe operations.
• Outside temperature - 0°C ( coldest recommended temperature ) - 40°C ( hottest recommended

AIRCRAFT CALIBRATION
Compass Calibration Procedures:
The electronic compass on the Evolve aircraft is used to determine the direction which aircraft is pointing to in reference
to true north. The compass is a sensitive sensor that is affected by electromagnetic interference from sources such as radio
towers and high voltage power lines. The compass can give false readings if the aircraft is placed over a surface composed
of metal or if there is metal under the surface, such as rebar under concrete. If a compass error occurs simply relocate the
aircraft in a different location until the metal interference is gone. If relocating the aircraft does not clear the compass error
or if the smart pilot APP requires a compass calibration follow the steps below.
To calibrate the compass follow these steps:
1. For safety reasons, please remove the propellers from the aircraft.
2. Make sure the GS and aircraft are powered on and connected.
3. Navigate to the compass calibration page on the smart pilot APP.
4. Press “OK ” on the compass calibration page. (Settings > General > Sensor > Compass)
5. Follow the on screen instructions to rotate the aircraft on the proper plane.
6. Only upon starting and ending will there be an audio prompt. Once success, aircraft will restart.

AIRCRAFT CALIBRATION
Please ensure that all rmware is up to date and follow on screen instructions if there is any variance from the instructions
outlined below.
ARMING THE AIRCRAFT
When arming or disarming commands are given to the ight controller, the aircraft’s state may change suddenly
requiring the operator to react immediately in order to maintain full control of the aircraft.
ARMING PRE-CHECK
The Evolve makes several internal calibrations and adjustments before each ight. If for any reason, any of the vital sensors
or internal equipment has a safety issue, the aircraft will not ARM upon the ARM command given by the operator’s stick
and the LEDs under each motor will turn RED. Please refer to the Smart Pilot screen to check for the diagnoses in order to
correct the problem.
The most common reason for not arming is the calibration of compass on a different or magnetically noisy
environment. Please refer to Compass calibration and try again.
There is a 5 second delay on the arming and disarming of the stick commands to avoid accidental spinning of the
motors or disarming the aircraft in mid-air causing the aircraft to crash.
ARMING
Before arming the aircraft make sure pre-ight check lists are complete and the aircraft is in an area clear of obstacles
and loose debris as loose debris can damage the propellers and possibly cause loose debris to act as projectiles doing
damage to surrounding property and personnel.
Push the left throttle stick down and to the right and wait
for the LED’s light change. During arming, the LEDs color
will fast blink different colors followed by a long beep,
the motors will then engage and the propellers will start
spinning. Move the throttle stick to the middle position and
the aircraft is ready to take off manually.

DISARMING THE AIRCRAFT
AUTO TAKE OFF
After a landing the aircraft, hold the throttle stick down and to the left to disarm the motors. The LED indicators will
change color followed by a long beep and propellers will stop spinning. Make sure all the LED indicators are solidly lit by
the same color (either Green or Blue) with no blinking before moving the sticks back to central position. If the LEDs are
blinking the aircraft is still in arming mode, keep the sticks in the same position until all the LEDs are solid (either Green or
Blue).
OR
For ease of operation and to assist beginner operators, the evolve aircraft can take off and land automatically.
Follow the steps below:
1. Short Press and Long Press the Auto Take Off button for 3 seconds.
2. The aircraft will arm itself and take off.
3. The aircraft will rise to 4 to 5 feet. ( If the aircraft is in GPS mode it will hold position until the operator takes over, but
if it is in manual mode the operators needs to correct the altitude to prevent drifting.)
Follow the previous pre-ight check, as stated in arming the aircraft above.
Push the left throttle stick down and to the left and wait for
the LED’s light change. During disarming the LEDs color
will fast blink rapidly with different colors followed by a
long beep, the motors will then engage and the propellers
will start spinning. Move the throttle stick to the middle
position and the aircraft is ready to take off manually.
(Left) (Right)
Ensure the aircraft is fully disarmed (either solid Green or Blue LED) before returning the left thumb stick to the
middle position.

AUTO LANDING
RETURN TO HOME
For ease of operation and to assist beginner operators, the evolve aircraft can take off and land automatically.
Follow the steps below:
1. Short Press and Long Press the Auto Take Off button for 3 seconds.
2. The Ground Station will voice over to indicate the aircraft ready to descent. ( during the descent the operator can
reposition the aircraft to clear obstacles or land in preferred spot )
3. When landed, the aircraft will disarm automatically.
After conrming the land operation, the Ground Station will update the status to indicate that the aircraft is landing.
This feature brings the aircraft back to the location it rst acquired a home lock position utilizing the GPS signal. Ensure
GPS signal is xed before takeoff (when all 4 LED lights located under the motors are solid green a GPS home lock is
achieved) to bring it back to your home point position, when it reaches the home position the aircraft will hover for 5
seconds then land automatically. During the landing descent the operator can move the aircraft’s position to clear away
from obstacles on the ground or land in a preferred spot. At any point during the RTH mode, it can be modied by
pressing the RTH button again and conrming the RTH cancel. The aircraft will then switch back into the mode which the 3
position switch mode is selected.
The number of GPS satellites acquired and the health of the GPS signal can also be checked on the top screen of the
remote controller. 6 is the minimum number of satellites needed. The signal health will be conrmed by a (Excellent /
Good / Fair / Poor) message on the APP.

DETERMINING THE RETURN TO HOME ALTITUDE
Depending on the ight conditions and obstacles in the return to home ight path, the operator can choose a safe return
altitude for the Return to Home function. This altitude should be set up before ight under the APP conguration tab.
A low altitude setting is not recommended for obstacle clearance (such as trees or buildings). Also notice the maximum
legal ight altitude for each ight. This conguration allows the aircraft to reach a programed altitude before starting to
ying back to the home position. If the aircraft is below the programed altitude it will ascend to the programmed altitude
then proceed to the home position. If the aircraft is above the programed altitude it will remain at that altitude and then
proceed to the home position.
Note: This altitude setting is also used for Return to Home function in case the failsafe is triggered due to loss of
signal or power loss of controller.
To congure the Return to Home Altitude, user may enter the Settings Page. At the aircraft section, there is the RTH
Altitude, tap and change the value.
