4.3 Elios control
4.3.1 Arm
Spinning propellers can cause serious injuries. DO NOT have any body
part inside the cage whilst arming the robot.
In case of doubt, go back to the Safety section and be sure you are
following the checklists.
When the battery is connected, Elios is on. To make the propellers spin, it is required to arm the aircraft.
Unlike regular drones, Elios’ inner part is not initially in an upright position. As its inner part is decoupled
from its cage the latter is in random orientation. Hence, Elios has to first perform an upright maneuver. By
spinning on itself, Elios may shuffle around. Please hold Elios by its cage while Arming it.
To arm Elios, hold its cage and perform the following arming sequence:
1. Place the left stick on the bottom right
2. Keeping the left stick down, slide it to the bottom left.
3. Slide back the left stick to the bottom right
Figure 4.5: Arming sequence
Once armed, Elios is performing a maneuver to go to its upright position. If after 5 seconds, Elios is not in a
stable upright position, disarm Elios and contact Flyability.
