6.2.2 Remote Control Calibration Compare with the amount of rudder travel of the remote control channels on the APP and confirm whether the amount of rudder travel of the remote control channels need to be reversed. If the definition of pros and cons of the channel is not in accordance with what the APP displays, then the amount of rudder travel need to be reversed in the debug software of the remote control.
Page 17
When the calibration is completed, you can check whether the setting and calibration is correct according to the description on the APP. Figure 7 Channel Check of the Remote Control...
6.2.3 Motor Check ESC Calibration 1) Remove the blades, push the aileron and accelerator of the remote control to the maximum at the same time, and then power on the flight control and the ESC concurrently, the flight control will enter the ESC calibration mode, purple light flashes 4 times.
6.2.5 Firmware Check Check the firmware version. Make sure the firmware is the latest version. Figure 10 Firmware Version Check 6.2.6 Water Pump/Flowmeter Test In order to achieve precise spray, the flowmeter and water pump should be calibrated before use. Before calibrating the water pump / flowmeter, check the spray system first.
Page 21
Flowmeter Calibration 1) Fill the chemical tank with water. For example, if the chemical tank is 10L, fill the tank accurately to 10L. Enter the "Pump" page, fill in 10 for the tank capacity and 0 for the coefficient, and then tap "Calibrate Flowmeter", the water pump will spray water automatically, wait for the water pump to stop automatically after all the water in the tank is sprayed, and then tap the "Settings"...
6.2.7 Flight Calibration Voltage Calibration 1) The main battery voltage detected by the flight control system may deviate from the actual battery voltage. At this time, you need to calibrate the voltage. Fill in the real battery voltage on the "Real Voltage" of "Flight Calibration" page, and then tap "Calibrate"...

The calibrating method is as follows: Toggle the Channel 5 of the remote control for 8 times consecutively or enter the "Flight Calibration"...
Rotate the UAV with the head points up. If the indicator light (blue) flashes, it means calibration succeeded; if the indicator light turns red, it means calibration failed, and the UAV needs to be calibrated again. 6.3.2 Debug of Sensitivity For the first flight, please confirm whether the angle of the UAV is correct.
Page 26
Description: ① R / P Gain: adjust the gain in the attitude mode first. The default value of 120 can be adopted (please set this parameter to 100 for the UAV whose blades are more than 30 inches). In the attitude mode, Don't move the bar, observe the self-stability ability of the UAV.
Page 27
vibration of the UAV to a certain extent. If the gain in the basic parameters can't restrain the shake of the UAV, try to set this parameter to 0. Generally, 3 or 4 can meet the flight requirements. This value can be increased steadily only after slight shaking occurs in the middle position when turning the angle back in the attitude mode.
6.4 Task-setting Figure 16 Display of Flight Information The current status of UAV is displayed in the front of the operation interface. The button functions are: battery power, flight altitude, flight speed, distance from HOME point, GPS signal, flight time, flow rate, area that has been sprayed, dosage that has been used, and remote control signal strength.

the fight.When the Channel 6 switch is turned from point A to point B in GPS hovering mode, record the coordinates of point B. After the point B is recorded successfully, the LED will flash twice with purple light. When the recording is completed, toggle Channel 5 switch to AB mode, and then the roll channel gives a left / right full stroke action.
Page 31
The operation is as follows: Extension of AB Point: when the UAV flies to the edge, move the pitch rocker (push or pull, push at the far end, pull at the near end), and the UAV will fly forward slowly at the speed of 2m / s. When it reaches the extended position, return the pitch rocker to zero, the UAV will stop, and then start to copy the corresponding route.
Page 32
Adjust the Height 2) During the flight, if the UAV is in the middle position of the throttle, it will fly at a fixed height (with radar, it will follow the terrain to fly over the ground at a fixed height), the height will rise when the throttle is pushed up, and the height will fall when the throttle is pulled down.
Page 33
