# Setting Up the Landing Gear Using a 2-position RC transmitter switch, landing gear retracti on can be carried out remotely.

Setting up the transmitter 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 fight 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 fully charged. 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 fashes green slowly, re-calibrate the system according to instructions in “Recalibrating Servo Travel”. 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 GearSpreading Wings S900 User Manual

### 19 Servo power will shut off 3 seconds after the landing gear has reached its target position. When powering on the system, if the transmitter switch is in the [Upper] position, the LED will fash red quickly as a warning. Toggle the switch to the [Lower] position to continue. If there is an abnormal signal or no signal input into the “IN” port, the LED will slowly fash red. Check receiver and connections for problems. If servo power consumption is too high, the LED will light up red. If this lasts more than 4 seconds, the landing gear will lower and the LED will fash green slowly. Re-calibration is needed before fying. A2 fight control system users can use the A2 Assistant to set intelligent gear on the “Advanced” page. Refer to the “A2 user manual” for details.

# Mounting the Gimbal Before assembling the gimbal, install the GCU as shown below. B e sure to install on the side as shown below. A DJI Z15-GH4 (HD) gimbal has been used as an example in the fo llowing diagrams.

The connectors on gimbal should be removed for better performance, then the gimbal can be mounted to the lower connection points. Users of DJI Z15-5N / 7N gimbal, refer to the DJI Z15-5N / 7N Gimbal Mounting Notes (Page 21) for details.Mounting the GimbalSpreading Wings S900 User Manual

### DJI Z15-5N / 7N Gimbal Mounting Notes
Due to the size restriction of the Z15-5N / 7N gimbal, users sh ould purchase extended landing gear legs (used with Z15-5N / 7N gimbal) to avoid damage and/or failure during the self-test. Refer to the Part List Packag e No.3 4 (Page 31) for details. Follow the Mounting the Landing Gear (Page 6) instructions to mount extended landing gear legs. Then the gimbal can be mounted as shown below. Package No.34 is for users whose landing gear legs are 300mm. Users whose landing gear legs are 350mm have no need to purchase this part.

## Remounting the Propellers Instructions 1. Use two M3×12.3 screws and four washers to remount propellers. 2. Apply thread locker to the thread of the propellers mount frst. 3. Affx screws with 4Kg ∙ cm (0.4N ∙ m) torque. Refer to original screw tensions if you are unfamiliar with torque measurements. Applying thread locker to the propeller mount frst avoids getting thread locker into the holes of the plastic propeller. Loose screws cannot be securely locked with thread locker.GVGPGVGP Red Black Blue Thick wire Solder pad Blue Black Red Fine wire Fine wire Thick wire

CCW arms CW arms



## Propeller Precautions Torque markers on the screws and propeller covers will give you a visual cue to check whether the propellers are loose. Check the torque markers before every fight. 

# FAQ Soldering the ESC Be sure to solder the thick wires and fne wires correctly when soldering an ESC to the frame arm. Clockwise (CW) and counter clockwise (CCW) motors have a different arrangement of the colored wires.FAQSpreading Wings S900 User Manual

## Using the Propeller Holder Instructions 1. Insert the propeller blades into the propeller holder. 2. Attach the propeller holder to the frame arm.



## Assembling Motor Vibration Absorbers A soft damper is part of the vibration absorber. Assemble soft dampers as shown below. Assembly is the same for CCW and CW propellers.

Ensure all soft dampers and vibration absorbers are in good condition before every fight. If not, replace immediately. Otherwise, the fight performance of your a ircraft will be adversely affected. Before installing the soft dampers, put the copper gaskets onto the four mounting holes on the carbon plate. Then put the soft dampers into the mounting holes. After tightening the screws, the vibration absorbers may be twisted. If this is the case, hold the motor with your thumbs under the base plate and fngers on the top carbon plate, and squeeze the plates together to make the vibration absorbers fat and paralle l with the plates.FAQSpreading Wings S900 User Manual

## Remounting the Landing Gear Servo Remounting servos is not recommended as they are pre-installed. 

### Instructions 1. Connect the left servo cable to the “L” port of the landing gear control board. 2. Connect the right servo cable to the “R” port of the landing gear control board. 3. Press and hold the SET button using a pin then power on. You will see a yellow LED beside the SET button

fashing quickly. Wait as servos complete position initializatio n. 4. Make sure the arm connecting to the servo is parallel to the link as shown in the following diagram. 5. Assemble the left and right servos to the left (between M3, M4) and the right (between M5, M6) parts of the landing gear. Power off.



## Recalibrating Servo Travel Instructions 1. Keep your hands away from all moving parts. 2. Ensure the “R”, “L” and “IN” connections are correct. 3. Keep the whole aircraft off of the ground during calibration, as landing gear will move. 4. Press and hold the SET button using a pin while powering on, then release. An LED will flash yellow

quickly. Press the SET button again. Auto calibration will begin and the LED will fash yellow slowly. DO NOT obstruct any moving parts during auto calibration. 5. During calibration, the left landing gear will raise and lower, followed by the right landing gear. 6. After calibration, both the left and right landing gears will be lowered and the LED will display a solid green

light. This indicates that the landing gear is working properly. If the LED is solid yellow after calibration, a problem has occurred. Carry out the instructions in “Remounting the Landing Gear Servo” then try again. Avoid obstructions during calibration. If the landing gear was obstructed, recalibration will be required, per the above steps. If the “R” and “L” servo cables are reversed, travel will not be measured correctly. Fix the connections and recalibrate the landing gear using the above steps. Landing gear travel has been pre-calibrated. Mechanical adjustment of the gear travel is not recommended.
