Once the surface controls have been checked, the H520 is ready for flight. Position the gear switch on the
top right of the ST16S to UP and the gear will retract, moving the gear switch to the DOWN position will
lower/extend the landing gear.
ANGLE, MANUAL AND HOME FLIGHT MODES
A NGLE F LIGHT M ODE
When the Flight Mode Selector (Switch 4 on the right side of the controller) is in the middle position the
H520 is in Angle Flight Mode. In Angle (Pilot) Mode, the H520 will move in the direction the control stick
is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft (and the ‘angle’ of movement is determined by how far
the stick is pushed away from the center position). In Angle Flight mode, the rear LED lights will be Purple.
M ANUAL F LIGHT M ODE
When the Flight Mode Selector (Switch 4 on the right side of the controller) is in the full forward position,
the H520 is in Manual Flight Mode. In Manual Mode, the H520 is not connect to the GPS system, the H520
will maintain altitude. Manual Mode is recommended for high Electro-Magnet interference (EMI) areas. In
Manual flight modes, use caution as the aircraft will drift without GPS positioning. It is recommended to fly
in slow/turtle modes when in Manual flight modes. In Manual Flight mode, the rear LED lights will be Blue.
R ETURN TO H OME M ODE
When the Flight Mode Selector (Switch 4 on the right side of the controller) is in the full down position the
H520 is in Return to Home Mode. Activate Return to Home Mode and the H520 will automatically
fly/return to the home point and land. In Return to Home mode, the rear LED lights will be Yellow.
CAUTION! The aircraft will drift without GPS positioning in Manual Flight Mode
Important Note: When the H520 is not nose away from the Pilot/ST16S (in
Angle Flight Mode), the control inputs will be in opposition to
forward flight. It is imperative to know which way the
H520 is facing before making any control inputs. New
pilots should learn to control the aircraft as it faces them.
