Page 5: Brief Introduction
This means that the T380S is NOT for beginners. The T380S offers highly efficient flight by using 8 inch, slow turning propellers on brushless motors. The T380S is also very stable. The stability is achieved by using a high performance MEMS sensor for 6DOF stabilization resulting in low drift and ... -

Page 11: Propeller Mounting
T380S Quad-copter Assembled Aircraft ‐ Bottom view B. Only the propellers & landing gear will need to be installed upon delivery. Attach the landing gear (12) to the bottom of the bottom cover (7) using four M3 bolts. Tighten the bolts snugly to ensure proper attachment. Do NOT over tighten the bolts as this may result in breakage of the plastic. C. The battery attaches to the aircraft’s underside (between the landing gear). D. To hold the battery in place, install the Velcro included on the cross beam of the landing gear. 2. Propeller mounting A. There are four 8 inch high efficiency slow fly propellers (2) included. B. Install propellers (2) on motor shaft directly (3), and screw down propeller ... -

T380S Quad-copter Flying for the First Time 1. WARNING: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOUR FIRST TEST FLIGHT. 1) Default factory setting for the T380 “X Mode” configuration. 2) Two of the Motor Arms are colored YELLOW as a marker to indicate the front side of the aircraft (see Page 11 for diagram). 3) To ensure your safety and proper operation of the aircraft, the following flight tests must be done carefully & in small controlling increments. 2. Control direction To check your RC Transmitter settings, carefully test as instructed below. If the movement is incorrect, reverse the channel accordingly. Safety note: this can be successfully done without the propellers installed.

Page 17: Lift Off And Hover
T380S Quad-copter Rudder left / 5 right (direction of rotation) 1. It is easier to check correct rotation if the aircraft is allowed to lift off slightly (do not hold the aircraft in your hand if you do this!). 2. If you move the rudder stick to the left, the aircraft should rotate to the left, and vice versa. 3. Lift off and hover A. After you have tested and confirm all 4 channels of your RC transmitter are set up correctly, it’s time for your first flight!! B. As stated above, ALWAYS place the aircraft on the flat ground, turn on the transmitter first and then plug in the battery to go through the initialization process. Do not move any control sticks or the aircraft during this process. C. Gently move your throttle to start all motors. Push the throttle stick higher until the aircraft begins to lift off and fly. 第 16 页... -

T380S Quad-copter D. If the aircraft looks stable, allow it to hover & maintain altitude before gently bringing the throttle stick down for a soft landing. E. Continue to test hover the aircraft, flying low and slow until you get used to its characteristics before going into higher altitude and forward flight. 4. Built in safety features A. Loss of RC signal 1. In case of RC signal is not detected, the aircraft will automatically enter the security protection mode (SPM). 2. In SPM, the aircraft will emit a long “b‐e‐e‐e‐e‐p” tone intermittently. 3. The aircraft will not fly until a RC signal is received by the controller. B. Start‐up throttle protection 1. During power up, if your radio throttle stick is not in the lowest position (zero throttle), the SPM will be activated. 2. In this state, the aircraft will not respond to any command until the ... - Page 19 T380S Quad-copter c. If this warning is ignored, the aircraft will slowly power down and self‐land.
