Flying Your Quadcopter
The first thing to note when flying your quadcopter is the weather. Do not attempt
to fly in rain or heavy winds. A couple of good places to fly around campus are at the
lawn to the northeast of the EE building and at frat row.
The first thing you need to do is ensure that you controller is configured properly.
To do this, enter the menu and verify the following settings:
Menu → System Settings→
● Type Select - Heli, Heli 2,
● Modevat - PPM
● Stick Setup - Mode 2, Throttle Reverse: No
When choosing the stick setup, after selecting mode 2, an option saying “THRO
REVERSE?” will appear. Press the “EXIT” button at this point to allow for normal
throttle controls (see Figures 5a - c).
