(1) Home lock flying requires that 6 or more GPS satellites are found and the aircraft is further than
10m away from the home point.
(2) If the IOC flying requirement is not satisfied, the autopilot system will quit IOC control mode.
Please be aware of the LED indicator, to know the current control mode of the autopilot system.
(1) Blinking indications of IOC are:
a) Before motors start: blink, all sticks (except throttle stick) return to center;
blink, stick(s) (except throttle stick) not at center.
b) After motors start and throttle stick is over 10% in 3 seconds: blink, all sticks
return to center; blink, stick(s) not at center.
(2) Before you do the home lock flight, you have to fly the aircraft out of the 10m range
around home point, and then flip the IOC switch to Home Lock position to fly in home
lock when all the requirements are met. If you have already toggled the IOC switch to
Home Lock position when the aircraft is still in 10m range around home point, and this is
the first time you are going to fly in home lock during the current flight, then if all the
requirements are met, the main controller will change into home lock automatically when
Multi-rotor flies out the 10m range around home point.
(3) When flying in Home Lock mode, if any of the following situations happen, then the
system will quit Home Lock flying and automatically enter Course Lock flying. The aircraft
will fly in Course Lock using the earlier forward direction.
a) The aircraft fly’s within 10m range of the home point.
b) You toggle the control mode switch to the ATTI. Mode.
c) The GPS signal becomes bad (The GPS signal LED is blinking Red twice or three
times).
(4) We suggest that you should know clearly which flight lock method you are going to fly,
and you know the locked forward direction or home point, before you switch on IOC
mode during the flight.
