### 5. PLACEMENT BEFORE TAKEOFF

10000 ft2 (930m2) PILOT LOCATION TAKEOFF ZONE

26 ft (8m)



## 100  ̊ WARNING:Always operate the TYPHOON in open areas (approximately 10000 square feet/930 square meters or more) that are free from people, vehicles, trees and other obstructions. Never fly near or above crowds, airports or buildings. Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind the TYPHOON. 

### 6. POWERING ON/OFF NOTE:ALWAYS turn the ST10+ on and allow it to boot up BEFORE turning the TYPHOON on (and ALWAYS turn the TYPHOON off BEFORE turning off the ST10+). Place the TYPHOON on a level and stable surface then slidethe switch to the ‘ON’ position. DO NOT TOUCH ORMOVE THE TYPHOON UNTIL THE INITIALIZATIONPROCESS IS COMPLETE. The main LED statusindicator will glow solid green (Smart Mode) or solidpurple (Angle/Pilot Mode) when initialization is complete (and the TYPHOON GPS is locked). 

### 7. STARTING/STOPPING THE MOTORS

**8. FLIGHT CONTROLS** To takeoff, slowly raise the left-hand stick to slightly above the center position. The TYPHOON will takeoff and climb slowly (or raise the stick further until it does). Allow the stick to return to the center position when the TYPHOON reaches the desired altitude.

FLYING Take your time learning how the TYPHOON responds to various control inputs while flying. In Smart Mode the TYPHOON 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 TYPHOON 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). And please see the corresponding sections of this instruction manual for more information on Smart Mode and Angle (Pilot) Mode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If at any time during flight you feel like the TYPHOON is drifting out of/beyond your control, simply release both control sticks. The TYPHOON 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 TYPHOON automatical

ly flies itself back to the home point and lands. LANDING There are two ways to land the TYPHOON: 1) Position the TYPHOON above the area where you would like to land. Slowly lower the left-hand stick to below the center position. The TYPHOON will descend slowly and land. After the TYPHOON lands, press and hold the red START/STOP button for approximately two (2) seconds to stop the motors. 2) Activate Home Mode and the TYPHOON will automati 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 after the first level low voltage battery warning, or land immediately after the second level low voltage battery warning (as indicated by the vibrations and audible alerts from the ST10+, and by the Below Motor LED Status Indicators flashing rapidly). And if at any time the Aircraft Battery Voltage shown on the screen is below 10.7V, land the TYPHOON immediately. AFTER LANDING ALWAYS turn off the TYPHOON BEFORE turning off the ST10+. Then remove the battery from the TYPHOON and allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging. Climb (Max. Altitude 400 Feet / 122 Meters)

Maintain Altitude

Descend / Land Step back approximately 26 feet (8 meters) behind the TYPHOON. Press and hold the red START/STOP button for about 3 secondsto start, and about 2 seconds to stop the motors. 

### 9. CONTROL RATE SLIDER Sets the overall climb/descend and directional control rates. Use the turtle position for the lowest control rates (best for first-time pilots and when flying between 5000 feet and 8000 feet Above Mean Sea Level). Use the rabbit position for the highest control rates (best for experienced pilots and only when flying below 5000 feet AMSL.



### 10. SELECTING A FLIGHT MODE The TYPHOON is programmed with three (3) flight modes that can be selected via the Flight Mode Selection Switch located just above the right-hand control stick.

Double tap the center of the screen to increase the size of the video viewing area. WARNING: NEVER attempt to fly the TYPHOON via First-Person View (FPV). Attempting to fly via FPV can result in a crash that will cause damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury. IMPORTANT NOTE: After flying, turn off the TYPHOON BEFORE turning off the ST10+. Then remove the battery from the TYPHOON and allow it to cool to ambient/room temperature before recharging.

PILOT LOCATION 13-26 ft (4-8m) LANDING LOCATION **FOLLOW ME** The Follow Me feature the TYPHOON to follow the pilot, adjusting its location to the location of the ST10+. The Follow Me feature is enabled when the number of connected satellites is 6 or more. When Follow Me is active the TYPHOON's Main LED Status Indicator will blink white every three seconds. If the TYPHOON’s Main LED Status Indicator remains solid green, the Follow Me feature is not enabled.

When using the FOLLOW ME feature, keep in mind that the aircraft will maintain a constant altitude and can not detect obstacles. Pilots who change their altitude by for example, moving to higher ground, during flight should be mindful of this. HOME MODE When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is in the bottom position the TYPHOON will be in Home (also known as Return to Home) Mode. In Home Mode the Follow Me feature will fly back the TYPHOON in a straight line in the direction of

1) When the flight mode switch is in the top position the TYPHOON will be in Smart Mode. 2) When the flight mode switch is in the middle position the TYPHOON will be in Angle (also known as Pilot) Mode. 3) When the flight mode switch is in the lowest position the TYPHOON will be in Home Mode. 

### 11. FLIGHT MODES Additional Smart Mode Features: ***SMART CIRCLE** In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the TYPHOON from coming within approximately 26 feet (8 meters) of you (as long as you position yourself at least 26 feet/8 meters behind the TYPHOON. **GEO-FENCE** The geo-fence is a virtual ‘barrier’ that will keep the TYPHOON from traveling farther than 300 feet (91 meters). And although this limit can be adjusted using the USB interface/programmer and software we strongly recommend using the default limit at all times. WARNING:Smart Mode only works when the TYPHOON has a suitable GPS signal/lock. If you take off in Smart Mode and the TYPHOON 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 TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or even ‘fly away’. IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and ‘fly aways’ are NOT covered under warranty. IMPORTANT NOTE: When the ST10+ Personal Ground Station is connected to less then 6 satellites, the ‘FOLLOW ME’ feature will be disabled. ANGLE (PILOT) MODE When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the middle position the TYPHOON will be in Angle (also known as Pilot) Mode. Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred by experienced RC/drone pilots because the TYPHOON will move in the direction the control stick is pushed relative to the front/nose of the aircraft. So if you push the right-hand stick to the left the TYPHOON will bank toward the left side and move to the left. This means if the front/nose of the TYPHOON is pointing away from you it will move to the pilots’ current location, 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 TYPHOON themselves. It can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation during flight; simply activate Home Mode until the TYPHOON automatically moves toward the home position, and once you’ve confirmed orientation switch back to Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if the TYPHOON ever loses the link with the ST10+ it will automatically enter Home Mode. When Home Mode is activated the TYPHOON will respond as follows: A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the TYPHOON will maintain the current altitude, fly back to the home point, then descend vertically until it lands.

This side up TYPHOON in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible, Smart Mode is typically the best mode for first-time pilots to fly in and also features ‘Follow Me’. In Smart Mode the TYPHOON 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. So if you push the stick to the left the TYPHOON will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointing and even if it’s spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode. the left, but if the front/nose is pointing at you the TYPHOON will move to the right.
