Gannet Pro - Take Off and Flight; Flight Operations and Safety

Take o and ight
• Always stand well clear of the drone, carbon bre propellers can be very dangerous and must be avoided,
never try to stop spinning propellers by hand!
• Arm the drone by pushing inwards and down with both controller sticks,
• When safe, give gradual power by increasing the throttle/elevation/Le control stick gradually, DO NOT
give rapid full throttle, the drone will take o dangerously fast,
• If the drone starts to move in slow circular movements it can indicate that the compass calibration is not
optimal for this position, you can land and recalibrate it a short distance away to reduce possible
interference. Also note that Smartphones and smart watches can cause interference and should be kept
away from the drone during calibration,
• If the circular movement is minor, momentarily switch the drone to Atti and back to GPS, this cancels
the “hunting” of the GPS and steadies the drone, Home point remains in the original position,
• Avoid sudden rapid or full control stick movements, gentle controlled movements will result in a more
enjoyable ight experience,
• First low battery warning is given at 15,2V pay close attention to this. If unloaded the drone can still y
for several minutes but best be on your way back to land.
• Never attempt to y just one more bait on a low battery
• At 14,2V the drone will not have any more power to y and will land/descend where it is.
• NEVER overload the drone, higher loads drain the battery faster, too high loads can also damage the
battery
• When loaded keep the ight time as short as possible, y at a steady speed and do not waist time
hovering in place unnecessarily as it will drain the battery rapidly.
• Do not y in strong gusting winds unless you are an experienced pilot and even then take care and
y with caution
• RTH (return to home) should only be used when absolutely necessary, it is safer to y the drone back
yourself, if it is hard to judge the orientation, switch to home lock in which event pulling back on the
right-hand control will bring the drone closer to you regardless of the drones orientation. When you do
use RTH keep an eye on the drone to ensure that the drone is performing the command and should it
deviate, return to GPS mode so that the drone can be own back manually.
