Turbo Ace X830-S 3.3 Mounting Propellers There are a total of 4 propellers in your package, all of which are marked with the Xaircraft logo. 2 of the propellers are marked as 1238 counter-clock-wise (CCW) type propellers. The other 2 propellers are marked as 1238R clock-wise (CW) type propellers. Each type of propeller must be mounted on a specified motor on the X830-S. -
Page 15: Installing Heading Arch Rod & Guide Balls
Turbo Ace X830-S 3.4 Installing Heading Arch Rod & Guide Balls Since the X830-S is relatively symetrical it’s often difficult if not impossible for the pilot to see the heading (orientation) of this aircraft from a distance. By installing the heading arch and guide ball, the pilot will be able to differentiate the front of the aircraft from the rest of the aircraft during flight. -
Page 16: Esc Programming And Transmitter Calibration (For Arf)
If this is the first time you are using your existing transmitter with your new Turbo Ace X830-S, it’s important to program all four ESC in the X830-S as well as calibrating your transmitter to the flight controller. - Page 17 Turbo Ace X830-S Transmitter Calibration (2) Now you are ready to calibrate your transmitter to the flight controller. If you have a Futaba or Walkera transmitter you should have skipped the ESC programming steps above because we have already completed that for you. However every transmitter radio needs to be calibrated unless you have purchased a transmitter with your X830-S which we have already done the calibration for you.

Page 27: Battery Tips
Turbo Ace X830-S avoid flying in a small room which deflects air current. Before take off, you may also notice some vibration on the aircraft caused by auto stablization from the deflected air. Once the aircraft lifts away from the ground, it will stablize. - Page 28 Turbo Ace X830-S gyros for camera mount auto compensation so there is no need to purchase separate gyros for your camera mount.

- Page 31 Turbo Ace X830-S • When aircraft tilts to a certain direction, it will engender a tendency which could be probably reinforced. Notice: Assumption2 is not contradictory to Assumption3. We haven’t built X830-S mathematical modeling, which needs to do the PID Tuning through personal sense.
- Page 32 Turbo Ace X830-S To simplify motor replacement, the X830-S motors can be disconnected at the end of the arms. So Replacing a motor should be relatively easy compaired to other quadcopters. Please remember to reapply Locktite when putting bolts and screws back.
- Page 33 Turbo Ace X830-S (9) If you make any changes always repeat the tie-down flight test in Section 5.1 until you are satisfied that everything is operating properly. 7.2 Replacing ESC (For Repairs Only) When replacing the X830-S ESC, you must follow a specific procedure, otherwise you may risk damage to the ESC wires which may in turn short circuit the ESC and Flight Controller.
- Page 34 Turbo Ace X830-S 9. Thread the remaining ESC wires through the center hole at the center of the chassis bottom. When connecting the black header plug on the Flight Controller’s output port, make sure the brown ESC wire is closest to he edge of the Flight Controller unit. You may damage the Flight Controller and the ESC if the connector is plugged in wrong.
