ARMING THE AIRCRAFT
When arming or disarming commands are given to the flight 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 flight. 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-flight 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.
