Page 9: Removing The Aircraft Battery
Remove the battery by squeezing the battery mechanical latches and pulling the battery out of the aircraft. Flight control of the Evolve is accomplished by manipulating the control sticks on the ground controller. Proper orientation must always be considered when flying 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. -
