Setting Up the Landing Gear

Using a 2-position RC transmitter switch, landing gear retraction can be carried out remotely.

Setting up thetransmitter

Select a 2-position switch (default setting is OK) as the control input for the landing gear. Ensure the 

corresponding receiver port is connected to the “IN” port on control board. For the A2 flight control

system, connect the flight controller’s F1 port to “IN” port on control board.

Upper: Toggle the switch to this position to raise the landing gear.

Lower: Toggle the switch to this position to lower the landing gear.

If the transmitter switch has a FailSafe function, set the FailSafe value to the [Lower] position. This

ensures that the landing gear will lower automatically when the receiver enters FailSafe mode.

To avoid accidental switch triggering, slide levers or other controls can be used for landing gear

control.

Usage procedures

1. Ensure transmitter and receiver batteries are fullycharged.

2. Toggle the switch to the [Lower] position, and then turn on the transmitter.

3. Ensure the “R”, “L” and “IN” connections are correct.

4. Ensure the landing gear is in the [Lower] position, then power on the system. If a solid green LED on the 

landing gear control board lights up, everything is normal. If it flashes green slowly, re-calibrate the system

according to instructions in “Recalibrating ServoTravel”.

5. Toggle the switch to the [Upper] position ONLY AFTER takeoff.

6. Toggle the switch to the [Lower] position for landing.

Setting Up the Landing Gear
