IF1200A Pilot Operating Handbook 16. Arm and Disarm
17. Takeoff and Landing
Verify each item on the Preflight Checklist (see the end of this User Manual).
Arm the aircraft by bringing the left joystick stick down and towards the right. The
motors start spinning in an idle state.
Takeoff by slowly raising the throttle (left joystick). The throttle must be raised above
the midpoint. Continue raising the throttle and the aircraft will take off.
If the aircraft begins to tip over on takeoff, immediately lower the
throttle and disarm. This can occur if a propeller is installed on the
wrong motor, or the propellers are not completely unfolded prior to
flight.
Landing in Loiter or Position Mode
Be sure the landing site is level and clear of obstructions.
● If the takeoff and landing locations are the same, the aircraft slows itself
before landing.
● If the aircraft is landing at a location where the elevation is different from
takeoff, reduce throttle on landing.
Lower the throttle completely until the aircraft has landed.
Disarm the aircraft by moving the left stick to the lower left corner.
Landing in Return to Launch Mode
The launch location is automatically set before takeoff. Select a Launch location that
is level and clear of obstructions for landing. The aircraft will autonomously return to
the takeoff location and slowly descend.
If the aircraft is not positioned exactly over the landing pad, use the joysticks to
reposition it.
Disarm the aircraft by moving the left stick to the lower left corner.
