Usage Features:
The Hula aircraft offers two main operation modes: direct connection mode and networking mode.
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button on the back of the aircraft for 2 seconds.
- Direct Connection Mode:
- When powered on, the lamp cover flashes with purple light, indicating direct connection mode.
- Connect your PC/mobile device to the aircraft's WiFi (initial password: 12345678).
- Run the Hula APP; a solid green aircraft status indicator and APP confirmation signify a successful connection.
- By default, the aircraft is in direct connection mode. If switched, press the power button three times to return to this mode.
- In this mode, the PC/mobile device directly controls the aircraft via its WiFi.
- Networking Mode:
- While the aircraft is powered on, press the power button three times quickly to switch between direct connection and networking modes.
- When in networking mode, the lamp cover flashes with white light.
- In this mode, both the PC/mobile device and the aircraft connect to your own router's WiFi, allowing multiple aircraft to network together for competitive play.
- Flight Control (via Hula APP in "Single driver" mode):
- Supports American hand mode and Japanese hand mode.
- Takeoff/Landing: Press and hold the takeoff button for 1.5 seconds to take off. A separate button is available for one-button landing.
- Virtual Joysticks:
- Left Joystick: Controls rise (up), fall (down), turn left, and turn right.
- Right Joystick: Controls forward, backward, left shift, and right shift.
- Photo-taking/Video-recording: A dedicated button allows switching between photo-taking and video-recording modes, and another button initiates photo-taking or video-recording.
- Propeller Installation:
- Ensure the gap between the propeller cap and motor is sufficient for the removal tool.
- Propeller blades marked "75 mmR" must be installed on the top left and bottom right sides of the aircraft nose.
- Propeller blades marked "75 mm" must be installed on the top right and bottom left sides of the aircraft nose. Incorrect installation may prevent proper takeoff.
- Propeller Detachment: Use the propeller removal tool by inserting it between the propeller cap and motor, then pressing down on the other end to remove the blade. Do not remove by hand to avoid injury or motor damage.
- Obstacle Avoidance Adjustment:
- The aircraft features four-way obstacle avoidance (left, rear, front side, right).
- Use a special screwdriver to insert into the adjustment screw hole and turn the knob clockwise/counterclockwise to adjust the obstacle avoidance distance for each direction.
- Turning clockwise reduces the distance; turning counterclockwise increases it.
- The effective distance is pre-adjusted to 30-50cm. If further adjustment is needed, use a whiteboard under ordinary lighting conditions.
- Do not twist the knob violently to avoid damaging internal components.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Charging:
- Method 1 (USB direct charger): Connect a standard Micro USB cable to the battery's Micro USB port and a USB 5V charger. Takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes.
