IMPORTANT NOTE

This Quick Start Guide is NOT intended to replace 

the content included in the instruction manual. You 

should read through the instruction manual 

completely before proceeding.

ASSEMBLY 

Installing the Motor Arms 

Fold the motor arms upwards 

and secure them using the 

straight knurled nut cover 

located on the motor arms.

NOTE: Don’t over tighten 

the straight knurled nuts, It 

may cause deformation of 

the arms.

Installing the Landing Gear

Insert the landing gear tube 

into the base which has 

already been connected to 

the H920. Secure the screws on both sides of base. 

NOTE: Don’t over tighten the screw, it may cause 

deformation of the landing gear.

INSTALLING THE FLIGHT BATTERIES

After the flight battery has been fully charged, it’s 

ready to be installed in the TORNADO H920:

STEP 1) Open the battery compartment flap with 

the status LED mounted on it by carefully pulling 

the top edge of the flap.

STEP 2) Slide the batteries into the compartment 

with the EC3 blue, polarity-protected connector 

leads / wires downward.

WARNING: The aircraft can take-off with 2 or 3 

batteries. If utilizing 2 flight batteries, make sure the 

2 batteries are placed evenly within the two sides to 

balance the aircraft.

POWERING ON/OFF 

NOTE: ALWAYS turn on the ST24 and allow it to 

boot up BEFORE turning on the TORNADO H920 

(and ALWAYS turn off the TORNADO H920 

BEFORE turning off the ST24 ). 

Retracting and Lowering the Retractable Landing 

Gear

The TORNADO H920’s landing gear is to keep it out 

of frame when a camera is attached. You can retract 

it by switching up the Landing Gear Switch on the 

top right side of the ST24. Make sure to flip the 

switch to the downward position when landing.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always put down the landing 

gear before landing when the flight height is no less 

than 3m (10 feet) by switching down the Landing 

Gear Switch.

STARTING/STOPPING THE MOTORS

Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind 

the TORNADO H920. Press and hold the 

START/STOP button for about 3 seconds to start, 

and about 2 seconds to stop the motors.

CONTROL RATE SLIDER 

Set the overall climb/descend and directional 

control rates. Use the turtle position for the lowest 

control rates (best for cinematic video 

performance). Use the rabbit position for the 

highest control rates (best for capturing video of 

fast moving objects).

FLIGHT MODES

The ST24 is equipped with 3 different flight modes 

which can be selected using the mode switch in the 

top right corner above the right joystick.

SMART MODE

If the mode switch ‘10’ (S4) is fully up, then the 

H920 is in Smart Mode.

Although we recommend learning how to fly as fast 

as possible in Angle Mode, Smart Mode is the best 

choice for inexperienced pilots when test flying.

In Smart Mode, the H920 always flies in the 

direction in which the right joystick is moved by the 

pilot, regardless of the direction in which the nose is 

pointing. So if you move the stick to the right, the 

H920 will also move to the right regardless of the 

ANGLE MODE

If the Mode switch ‘10’ (S4) is in the centre position, 

then the H920 is in Angle Mode. Angle Mode is 

designed for pilots with a little experience (those 

who have already mastered Smart Mode), because 

in this mode the H920 moves in line with the 

joystick, in the direction in which the nose is 

pointed. So, if you move the right stick to the left, 

the H920 will tilt to the left and thus move to the 

left. That is assuming that the nose is pointing away 

from you. If the nose is pointing towards you, the 

H920 will move to the right from your point of view.

CAMERA CONTROLS (SINGLE MODE)

INSTALLING THE GB603 GIMBAL AND 

CAMERA

Step 1) Install the Fastening Block to the camera's 

flash mount.

BINDING 

The TORNADO H920 and ST24 have already been 

bound before leaving production, so there is no 

need to bind the aircraft to the ST24 if no gimbal is used.

If the GB603 gimbal is to be attached to the aircraft, 

both the GB603 and TORNADO H920 need to be 

bound.

FLIGHT CONTROLS

To takeoff, slowly raise the left-hand stick to 

slightly above the center position. the TORNADO 

H920 will takeoff and climb slowly (or raise the stick 

further until it does). Allow the stick to return to the 

center position when the TORNADO H920 reaches 

the desired altitude.

PLACEMENT BEFORE TAKEOFF 

STEP 3) Connect the flight battery to the relevant 

socket above the respective battery on the H920 

using the EC3 blue, polarity-protected connector.

NOTE: The white socket is for battery charging, do not 

connect it to any port when installing the batteries. If you 

do not install the battery in the correct orientation it 

will not be possible to make a positive connection.

STEP 4) Close the battery door by pushing the area 

at the top to engage the latch/lock.

Installing the Propellers

Always ensure propellers are installed properly and 

with thread locker on the fasteners. The rotors of 

the YUNEEC TORNADO H920 are made of 

high-strength carbon fiber, the motors are 

extremely powerful, meaning that if the device is 

misused there is a risk of material damage, serious 

injury and even fatal injury. 

Mount the propellers on the motors and note the 

pointers ‘A’ and ‘B’ given on the motor arms. This 

distinction between ‘A’ and ‘B’ refers to the rotation 

direction of the motors. The rotation direction of 

the motors must match the rotation direction of the 

propellers. Mount propeller ‘A’ on motor ‘A’ and 

propeller ‘B’ on motor ‘B’ and use the screws and 

screwdriver enclosed to carefully screw in the 

propellers. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the propellers are installed 

in the wrong places, it may cause crash.

CHARGING THE LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY

Connecting to the power source : the A10 Dual 

Balance Charger comes with built in switching 

power supply. You can connect the AC power cord 

directly to the main AC socket (100 - 240V AC).

NOTE: While the A10 is connected to a suitable 

100-240V AC power source, the combined power 

output for Channel A and Channel B is 200W, 

capable of charging two 6-Cell (6S), 4,000mAh LiPo 

battery packs at 4.3A.

Charging

BATT/PROGRAM Select: Press INC and DEC to go 

through all the programs and press START/ENTER 

to enter LiPo BATT Program.

Mode Select: Press INC and DEC to go through all 

CAUTION: Do not calibrate the compass in parking 

garages, close to buildings or near roads with a 

metal core. For optimum performance, only 

calibrate the H920 in open spaces, far away from 

electrical lines and other metal structures or 

concrete buildings.

Step 1: Place the H920 on the flat and level surface 

and point it with its nose towards the north

Step 1: Lift the H920 airframe straight & level, then 

point the nose towards the north and hold it in this 

position for 4 seconds. The LED status indicators 

will automatically start to flash red/green/blue 

quickly. Slowly turn the H920 forward and around 

360 degrees (pitch axis) until it is flat again.

Step 2: Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn 

it forward 360° again until it is lying flat in your 

hands again.

Step 3: Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn 

it forward 360° again until it is lying flat.

Caution: Steps 1 to 5 should be completed within a 

time span of 30 seconds in order to achieve 

successful calibration.

Step 6: Place the H920 on the ground and wait a 

few seconds.

If the calibration has been successful, the LED 

status indicator lights up green continuously and 

the flight controller restarts, you will recognise this 

when you hear the acknowledgement tone, the 

same one you hear when you switch the system on.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If calibration has failed, the 

LED status indicator lights up red continuously and 

you must be repeat the calibration process. If the 

calibration should continue to fail, either the site of 

calibration is unsuitable or the compass is defective. 

Refer to your Yuneec service center.

Step 4: Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn 

it forward 360° again until it is lying flat.

Step 5: Turn the H920 45° to the left and then turn 

it forward 360° again until it is lying flat.

Hold rudder stick left while at the same time 

toggling the mode switch more than 4 times. If 

successful, ST24 will indicate compass calibration 

has started.

NOTE: The AC plug type will vary depending on the 

region in which the product was imported/purchased (AU = Australian; EU = European; UK =

United Kingdom; US = United States).

NOTE: To check the charge status of the ST24, 

simply tap the screen 2 times.

CHARGING THE ST24’S LI-ION BATTERY

You can charge the Li-ion battery installed in the 

ST24 with the A10 Dual Balance Charger. While the 

ST24 is powered off connect the cable to the USB 

adapter/charger, then plug it into the 5V/2.1A USB 

connector/charging port. The charging icon on the 

monitor of the ST24 shows the current charging 

progress of the transmitter battery and indicates 

that the battery is charging. It will take approximately 

3 to 4 hours to charge a fully discharged (not 

over-discharged) battery.

NOTICE: In order to calibrate the compass in the YUNEEC TORNADO H920, we strongly recommend 

a team of 2 people to give the dimensions of the 

H920.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Calibration is not required. it is 

not needed unless they see flashing status LED.

and stable surface before powering ON the 

Tornado H920 Aircraft and the ST24 Ground 

Station.

Step back approximately 26 ft (8 m) behind the TORNADO H920

Never attempt to operate TORNADO H920 nearby 

tall buildings/obstructions that do not offer a clear 

view of the sky (a minimum clearance of 100°).

If the main LED status indicator flashes yellow, you 

will need to follow the compass calibration 

procedure. If the main LED status indicator is 

flashing blue, double check that the ST24 is 

powered on and set to the correct model memory. 

If the main LED status indicator is still flashing blue, 

please bind the aircraft to the ST24.

WARNING: Smart Mode only works if the H920 

has an adequate GPS signal. If you lift off in Smart 

Mode and the H920 loses its GPS signal, then it will 

switch automatically to Angle Mode. That is why 

we explicitly recommend familiarising yourself with 

flying in Angle Mode as soon as possible. 

Otherwise, when the GPS signal is lost and you are 

unable to fly in Angle Mode, then there is a 

possibility that you may crash or that the H920 will 

fly away uncontrolled.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Accidental damage and “fly 

aways” are not covered by the guarantee.

HOME MODE

In Home Mode the GPS system allows the Tornado 

H920 to automatically fly back in a straight line 

toward the direction of the last take-off position, 

and automatically land within 13-26 ft (4-8m) of the 

pilot. This can be very helpful for first-time pilots 

who aren’t quite ready to land the TORNADO 

H920 themselves. It can also be helpful for pilots 

that lose orientation during flight; simply activate 

Home Mode until the TORNADO H920 automatically moves toward the home position, and once 

you’ve confirmed orientation switch back to Angle 

(Pilot) Mode. And if the TORNADO H920 ever loses 

the link with the ST24 it will automatically enter 

Home Mode. 

When Home Mode is activated the TORNADO 

H920 will respond as follows:

A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the 

TORNADO H920 will maintain the current 

altitude, fly back to the home point, or active home 

point if the ST24 has enough satellites for Follow 

Me, then descend vertically until it lands.

Extra Angle Mode features:

POSITION FREELY AND RETAIN ALTITUDE

The H920 will hold its position automatically

 (if there is sufficient GPS signal) and it will retain the 

altitude level if the left stick is in the middle position.

WARNING: If you have not mastered the H920 in 

Angle Mode, accidents or “fly aways” may result.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Accidental damage and “fly 

aways” are not covered by the warranty.

Step 1) Power on ST24, press to go to the main 

interface. Choose FPV, and enter Model Select.

Step 2) The default Model type is Multi-copter, and 

choose the right configuration you are using H920 

and GB603 or H920 and V18. Press OK when a 

pop-up window comes out.

Step 6) Press Refresh, and the code of the H920 

and LK58 will be shown on screen. Choose the 

right codes and press Bind.

Step 7) If it is the first time to bind your LK58 to the 

ST24, you need to insert the LK58 password: 

87654321. Press OK on the pop-up window to 

continue.

Step 8) Press Camera Select and choose Panasonic 

GH4. Press Select, then press OK.

Step 3) Press System Settings

Step 4) Switch on the TORNADO H920. Wait until 

the Main LED indicator blinks blue, that means the 

self-inspection of the H920 and GB603 is complete.

There is a gimbal yaw mode switch on ST24---S2. 

When the switch position is up and middle, the 

gimbal/gimbal camera is in Follow Mode. The yaw 

control of the gimbal/camera is now disabled. The 

gimbal/camera will adjust its yaw direction 

according to the aircraft’s movements. 

When the switch position is down, the gimbal/gim- bal camera is in Global Mode. The Gimbal Yaw 

control knob (K1) is now activated. When the user 

rotates the knob in the right direction, the 

gimbal/gimbal camera will rotate to the right side, 

And vice versa. 

Step 2) Place the Camera Mount with lens frame 

downward, and fit the GH4 camera with its lens 

downward.

Connect the GB603 gimbal to the gimbal-/camera 

mount on the H920 by turning the 4 flat knurled 

quick disconnect nuts in a clockwise direction, 

tighten them until they feel secure.

NOTICE: Make sure the Camera Battery is fully 

charged and the SD card is free of space.

Step 3) Secure the screw on the top and at the 

bottom of the frame to fix the camera on the 

Camera Mount.

Step 4) Insert the HDMI cable in the corresponding 

port on the camera (the right side of GH4) after 

connecting the Shutter cable in the port at the top 

left side of the camera through the frame.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure the white plug 

connected to the port of LK58, and the black one is 

connected to the camera.

B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the 

TORNADO H920 will climb to 33 feet (10 meters) 

while flying back to the home point, or active home 

position, then will descend vertically until it lands.

CAUTION: You must be certain there are no 

obstacles in the ‘Return to Home’ flight path 

otherwise the TORNADO H920 may come into 

contact with them and crash. 

CAUTION:While the TORNADO H920 is in Home 

Mode you will have a limited amount of directional 

control. To help avoid obstacles we strongly 

recommend to switch to Smart or Angle Mode 

(then you can switch back to Home Mode).

WARNING: Home Mode only works when the 

TORNADO H920 has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If 

the TORNADO H920 loses GPS signal/lock it will 

switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is 

why we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle 

(Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you 

lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to properly 

control the TORNADO H920 in Angle (Pilot) Mode 

the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ 

are NOT covered under warranty.

Take your time learning how the TORNADO H920 

responds to various control inputs while flying. In 

Smart Mode the TORNADO H920 will always 

move in the direction the right-hand control stick is 

pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which 

way the front/nose is pointed. In Angle (Pilot) Mode 

the TORNADO H920 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 you push the stick away 

from the center position). Check the corresponding 

sections of this instruction manual for more 

information on Smart Mode and Angle (Pilot) Mode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The joystick with the two 

control sticks respond proportionately, that means 

that the further you move the control stick from the 

centred resting point in the middle in one direction, 

the stronger the response and the faster the change 

in course.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum height is 

restricted to 122m above the ground in Smart 

Mode and 122m (400 ft.) in Angle Mode. If at any 

time during flight you feel like the TORNADO 

H920 is drifting out of/beyond your control, simply 

release both control sticks. the TORNADO H920 

will automatically self-level and will even hold its 

position (with a suitable GPS signal /lock) when 

both control sticks are centered. You can also 

activate Home Mode so the TORNADO H920 

automatically flies itself back to the home point and 

lands.

Landing

Position the TORNADO H920 above the area 

where you would like to land. Slowly lower the 

left-hand stick to below the center position. the 

TORNADO H920 will descend slowly and land. 

After the TORNADO H920 lands, press and hold 

the START/STOP button for approximately two (2) 

seconds to stop the motors.

Activate Home Mode and the TORNADO H920

Gimbal Pitch Control (GB603 ONLY)

There is a gimbal pitch mode switch on ST24---S1. 

When the switch is in up/middle position, the 

gimbal/gimbal camera is in Angle Mode. Use the 

slider (C) on the left side of the ST24 to set the 

pitch/tilt position of the gimbal/gimbal camera.

When the S1 is in bottom position, the gimbal/gimbal camera is in Velocity Mode. When the slider (C)

is in the middle position, it means the velocity rate 

is 0 for the GB603, and it will stop pitching 

up/down. When the slider (C) is above the middle 

position, the GB603 will start pitching up. When 

the slider (C) is below the middle position, the 

GB603 will start pitching down. The distance 

between the slider(C) and the middle position 

decides the velocity rate, the further distance, the 

higer velocity it would be.

personal property or cause serious injury. A remote-control multi-rotor copter is not a toy! Improper use can lead to serious injury and 

material damage.

Warning: As the user of this product, you alone are wholly responsible for proper product use which does not put you yourself or others 

at risk and which does not damage the property of others.

Always keep your hands, face and other body parts at a safe distance from the rotating propellers or other moving parts. Keep objects 

away which could collide with the propellers or which could get caught in them, e.g. debris, individual parts, tools or loose clothing, etc.

Always operate your aircraft in open spaces which are clear of people, vehicles or other obstacles. Never fly over large groups of people, 

close to airports or buildings.

In order to ensure proper operation and safe flying performance, never fly your aircraft near to buildings or other obstacles which 

prevent a clear view of the sky, thus compromising the GPS reception.

Do not attempt to operate the aircraft in areas where magnetic interference fields and / or wireless interference could occur, e.g. in 

areas near radio towers, power transmission stations, high-voltage lines, etc.

Always maintain the safety clearance in all directions from the aircraft in order to avoid collisions and/or injuries. This aircraft is 

controlled by a wireless signal which may be compromised by many potential sources which are outside of your control. Impairments 

can lead to a temporary loss of control.

In order to guarantee proper and safe use of the automatic landing function in ‘Home’ Mode, only switch your aircraft to Home Mode 

when it is in a position surrounded by at least 3 metres (approx. 10 ft.) of free and open space and note the need for sufficient GPS reception.

Do not attempt to start the aircraft if any components are damaged or worn. (includes, inter alia: damaged propellers/rotor blades, old batteries etc.)

Never operate your aircraft in poor or extreme weather conditions, this includes strong winds, rainfall, thunderstorms etc.

Always start operating your aircraft with a fully charged battery. Always land as soon as possible following the initial battery level 

warning or land immediately after the second battery level warning (indicated by vibration and audible warning tones of the transmitter 

or the Personal Ground Station as the case may be).

Only operate your aircraft if the voltage of the battery in the transmitter or the Personal Ground Station is within the safe range 

(indicated by the battery charge level symbol on the screen of the transmitter of the Personal Ground Station as the case may be).

Always keep the aircraft in view and under control. Leave the transmitter or the Personal Ground Station on as long as the aircraft is switched on.

Always pull the throttle stick right down and switch off the motors if the propellers/rotor blades come into contact with any objects.

Always leave all the components to cool down before touching them or flying again.

Please always remove the batteries after use and transport these separately and in line with the applicable guidelines.

Avoid water coming into contact with any electronic components, these parts are not suitable for use in contact with water. Moisture 

can damage the electronics.
