TYPHOON Q500 - Flying the Q500 Drone; Takeoff, Flight Controls, and Landing

Step 5) Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind the Q500.
FLYING
TAKEOFF
To takeoff, slowly raise the le-hand sck to slightly above the center
posion. The Q500 will takeoff and climb slowly (or raise the sck further
unl it does). Allow the sck to return to the center posion when the
Q500 reaches the desired altude.
FLYING
Take your me learning how the Q500 responds to various control inputs
while flying. In Smart Mode the Q500 will always move in the direcon the
right-hand control sck is pushed relave to the pilot and no maer which
way the front/nose is pointed. In Angle (Pilot) Mode the Q500 will move in
the direcon the control sck is pushed relave to the front/nose of the
aircra (and the ‘angle’ of movement is determined by how far you push the
sck away from the center posion). And please see the corresponding
secons of this instrucon manual for more informaon on Smart Mode
and Angle (Pilot) Mode.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If at any me during flight you feel like the Q500 is
driing out of/beyond your control, simply release both control scks. The
Q500 will automacally self-level and will even hold its posion (with a
suitable GPS signal/lock) when both control scks are centered. You can
also acvate Home Mode so the Q500 automacally flies itself back to the
home point and lands.
LANDING
There are two ways to land the Q500:
1) Posion the Q500 above the area where you would like to land. Slowly
lower the le-hand sck to below the center posion. The Q500 will
descend slowly and land. Aer the Q500 lands, press and hold the red
START/STOP buon for approximately two (2) seconds to stop the motors.
2) Acvate Home Mode and the Q500 will automacally fly itself back to the
home point and will land within a 10 foot (3 meter) diameter circle around it.
WARNING: Always land as soon as possible aer the first level low voltage
baery warning, or land immediately aer the second level low voltage
baery warning (as indicated by the vibraons and audible alerts from the
ST10, and by the Below Motor LED Status Indicators flashing rapidly). And
if at any me the Aircra Baery Voltage shown on the screen is below
10.7V, land the Q500 immediately.
AFTER LANDING
ALWAYS turn off the Q500 BEFORE turning off the ST10. Then remove
the baery from the Q500 and allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature
before recharging.
WARNING: Do not aempt to operate the Q500 in winds
that exceed 8–12 miles per hour (13–19 kilometers per
hour).
Step 6) Press and hold the red
START/STOP buon for approxi-
mately three (3) seconds to start the
motors. Or you can lower the
le-hand sck all the way, move it all
the way to the le, then all the way to
the right and back to the middle to
start the motors.
