6.2 Pre-flight testing of the remote control
If you plan to use the remote control during a flight we recommend that you first
test it on the ground. Ensure that the eBee is set to Full Manual mode⁴⁶ and follow
these steps:
1. Check that the left stick on the remote control is in the low position to pre-
vent the propeller from spinning.
2. Turn on the remote control.
3. Turn on the eBee by connecting the battery. Once the drone detects the
signal from the remote control it will change to one of the manual modes.
Caution: The motor of the eBee is now controlled by the remote con-
trol and will begin spinning if the left stick is pushed up. Always keep
the area around the propeller clear of obstacles and body parts to
prevent injury.
4. Move the right stick on the remote control to verify proper reception by the
drone and correct servo direction.
5. Turn off the remote control for take-off.
Note: If the remote control is switched on while it is performing pre-
flight checks the ailerons will not move when the checks are com-
pleted and the GPS signals are acquired.
For more information on using the remote control, refer to the original user man-
ual available in the downloads section of the senseFly Ltd website⁴⁷.
