After you have tested and confirm all 4 channels in your RC radio are set up correctly, it’s time for your first flight. 2. As before, place the ARF on the flat ground, turn on the power and go through the initialization process. Do not move any control sticks or the aircraft during this process. 3. Gently move your throttle to start all motors. Push the throttle stick higher until the aircraft begins to lift off and fly. 4. If the ARF looks stable, allow it to hover, maintain altitude before gently bringing the throttle stick down for a soft landing. 5. 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. 6. Built in safety features 1) Loss of RC signal a. In case of RC signal is not detected during flight, the aircraft will automatically enter the security protection mode(SPM). b. In SPM, the aircraft will emit a long “b‐e‐e‐e‐e‐p” tone intermittently. c. The aircraft will not fly until a RC signal is received by the controller. 2) Start‐up throttle protection a. During power up, if your radio throttle stick is not in the lowest position (zero throttle), the SPM will be activated. b. In this state, the aircraft will not respond to any command until the throttle stick is placed in the lowest position. ...
