Aircraft

F7MINI aircraft is mainly composed of a flight controller, communication system, video downlink system, propulsion system and an intelligent flight battery.

Two Gears S peed of the Aircraft

• The F7MINI has two speed ranges: 11.48 ft/s and 22.96 ft/s. The default speed is slow speed. Press the right joystick of the transmitter to switch to fast speed. Press it again to switch to slow speed, which provides diverse flight experience and meets various needs with speed.

• When wind speed is high, high speed flight should be maintained to improve wind resistance effect.
• When flying with fast gear, the pilot should reserve at least 3 meters braking distance to ensure flight safety when flying in windy conditions.
• When using the fast gear for flight, the power of the aircraft will be greatly improved, and the operation of the remote lever on the transmitter will lead to the large flight action of the aircraft. During the actual flight, the pilot reserves enough flying space to ensure the safety of the flight.

Calibration and Aircraft S tatus Indicator

• The F7MINI aircraft's status indicator is located under the rear arm of aircraft to indicate the current status of the flight control system. Please refer to the following table for the status of the flight control system represented by different blinking modes.
  

The F7MINI aircraft has an automatic return-to-home function in GPS mode, making the aircraft return to the take-off point.
The Return to Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded home point.
There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Signal Disconnection RTH. If you activate the RTH function under the condition that the aircraft successfully recorded the home point and GPS signal is good, the aircraft will automatically return to the home point and land.

	GPS	Description
Home Point	Using 5 bars of signal	When flying outdoors, the GPS signal icon is displayed with 3 bars or more for the first time, and the take-off location will record the aircraft's current position as the Home Point. During the flight, if the aircraft lands at a new location, the point from which you retook off will become the latest home point, and the aircraft will return to the latest home point.

Smart RTH

• When the pilot needs the aircraft to return home automatically, he can click the smart RTH button on transmitter or tap the return home icon on the Bwine mini APP to activate RTH. During the return home, short press the smart return button on the transmitter or click the return icon on the F7MINI interface again to exit the return home..
• In GPS mode ( stays on), long press to activate, the automatic return function. During the return process, the user can operate the aircraft to ascend, descend, forward, backward, fly to the left or right to avoid obstacles, or long press the return button or push up the throttle stick to cancel return.

• If the flight altitude is below 65ft (20m), the aircraft will automatically ascend to the default return altitude of 65 feet(20 meters) before returning home.
  
• If the flight altitude is between 65ft to 164ft (20m to 50m), the aircraft will return from the current altitude to the take-off point.( Pay attention to maintaining the flying height to avoid hitting people or obstacles.
• If the flight altitude is between 164ft (50m) to 393ft (120m),the aircraft will directly fly to the default altitude of 164ft (50m), then return to the Home Point.
  
• The drone is not equipped with an obstacle avoidance function. During the flight, please judge the flight situation reasonably, avoid obstacles in time, and set the corresponding flight and return height according to the flight environment.

• Low Battery RTH
  When the intelligent flight battery is too low or there is not enough power to return home, the user should land the aircraft as soon as possible to avoid damage to the aircraft or other dangers. In order to prevent unnecessary dangers due to insufficient battery power, when the aircraft battery power is low, the intelligent low battery return home function will be automatically triggered. According to the remaining power after returning, there are 2 situations after returning:

1. First-level low battery: the aircraft returns to the point 65 feet(20 meters) above the take off point and hover. After hovering, you can continue flying the aircraft at a height of 65 feet (20 meters)and within a radius of 65 feet(20 meters).
   
2. Second-level low battery: the aircraft will fly directly from the current altitude to the point above the Home Point and then descend to the ground.
   

• Must pay attention to the flight altitude when the battery is low. Avoid hitting obstacles due to the low flying altitude when returning home with the second-level low battery. The remaining power after returning is related to the return distance, wind speed, and wind direction.
• When the aircraft is more than 65 feet (20 meters) away from the return point, the return cannot be canceled. You can control the joysticks on the remote control to avoid obstacles.
• When the aircraft is less than 65 feet (20 meters ) away from the return point, the return can be canceled.

• Lost Signal RTH
  

When the transmitter has low battery or is turned off or loses signal for 10 seconds, the aircraft will enter the auto-return mode and return to the take-off point. If the signal is recovered during the return home process, the aircraft will stop returning and rebind with the transmitter signal, and the remote control can control the aircraft again at this time.
Automatic Return to Home process when signal is lost:

1. Aircraft stores its position when taking off after the GPS signal is successfully received, and records it as the home point.
2. Trigger RTH (triggered by low battery of transmitter, signal loss, etc.).
3. After triggering the Return-to-Home function, the aircraft adjusts the nose direction and starts to return home.
4. The aircraft automatically flies to the top of the home point, then starts to land, and completes the home return.

• When out of control, the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles.
• When the GPS signal is weak, the aircraft cannot return to home automatically.

Compass Calibration Before Flight

1. At this time, you need to follow the prompts to pick up the aircraft at a distance of 3.2ft from the ground and rotate the aircraft horizontally for 2-3 laps until the APP interface prompts to enter the vertical calibration. Please hold the aircraft flat when rotating it, otherwise it will increase the number of turns to complete this step.
   
   Horizontal Calibration
   The indicator changes from slow flashing to fast flashing
   
2. Pick up the aircraft at a distance of 3.2ft from the ground, and rotate the aircraft 2-3 laps vertically with the camera facing upwards until the prompt of vertical calibration on the APP interface disappears. After the compass calibration is completed, place the aircraft on a level ground.
   Vertical Calibration
   The indicator changes from fast flashing to steady light
   

• The aircraft must be calibrated with the compass every time it is turned on before it can take off. The aircraft light turns yellow and flashes slowly after pairing, the aircraft can be calibrated in steps ① and ②.
• When the aircraft is flying in a circle or out of control in a complex environment, the aircraft compass calibration is not standard or interfered. Please land the aircraft manually in time to manually calibrate the aircraft (refer to the first step of calibrating the compass).
• When calibrating the aircraft, please open the arm to avoid the influence of the magnetic field of the motor.
• If the user want to calibrate the compass again, press on the transmitter to enter the compass calibration process.

Gyroscope Calibration

1. Make sure the aircraft is placed on level ground.
2. Tap the icon on APP to calibrate the gyroscope or pull the left and right joysticks of the transmitter into 7 o'clock position together.
   
3. The aircraft starts to calibrate the gyroscope automatically when the rear light fl ashes fast.
4. The gyroscope calibration is completed when the light changes back to the original light state.
5. After the calibration is completed, "Fly" is displayed in the APP, and you can now prepare to take off.

• When the aircraft's flight state is tilted and unstable, please land the aircraft on a level ground for gyroscope/horizontal calibration.
• Horizontal correction cannot be performed when the fuselage is tilted more than 10 degrees.

Starting/Stopping the Motors

• Starting the Motors
  Method 1:
  Push the joysticks into 5 & 7 o'clock position to start the motor. Please release the joysticks immediately after the motor starts rotating.
