Page 6: Safety And Failsafes
RADIO FAILSAFE Always use the controller as a primary or backup control system when flying. Ensure that the controller is turned on any time Erle-Copter is powered. If this failsafe is enabled it will get triggered under the following circumstances:... - Page 7 (standard - altitude hold mode). Always be prepared to regain manual control of Erle-Copter at any time while flying and choose an unobstructed flying area to im- prove GPS signal strength. When flying a mission, we recommended changing the GPS failsafe behavior to land.
- Page 8 LOW BATTERY When the battery reaches a low state (voltage under certain value), Erle-Copter will land with a quick repeating tone. If Erle-Copter reaches the low battery limit during a mission, it will re- turn to the launch point before landing.

- Page 11 Erle-Copter moves according to its orientation. The yellow arms face forward, and the black arms face backward. Before using the right stick, use yaw to keep Erle-Copter fac- ing in outward orientation so that the black arms face towards you and the yellow arms face away from you.

Page 12: Flying Modes
Good GPS position, low magnetic interference on the compass and low vibrations are all important in achieving good loiter performance. RTL stands for ”Return to Launch” and when activated, Erle-Copter navigates from its current position to hover above the home position. The home positioned is set as the point where the copter was armed. - Page 13 . Follow Me mode uses dynamic waypoint feature. AUTO In Auto mode Erle-Copter will follow a pre-programmed mission script stored in the brain which is made up of navigation commands (i.e. waypoints) and “do” commands (i.e. commands that do not affect the location of the copter including triggering a camera shutter).

5 FIRST FLIGHT 5.1 ATTACHING PROPELLERS Erle-Copter uses four propellers. Propellers generally come in pairs and there are classified by the color of each central nut. One should turn in clockwise direction and the other in the oppo- site. Clockwise propellers are also known as ”pusher kind” propellers and are marked with an ”R”... - Page 15 fly. • Release the right stick to level. • Lower the left stick below center to descend.
