ASSEMBLY

Installing the Motor Arms Fold the mot or arms upwards and secure them using the straight knurled nut cover located on the motor arms. NOTE: Do n’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 ba ttery 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: AL WAYS 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 c limb/des cend 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 TheST2 4 is equ ipped 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 th e mode s witch ‘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)

**I NSTALLING THE GB603 GIMBAL AND**  **CAMERA** Step 1)In stall the Fastening Block to the camera's flash mount. 

### BINDING The TOR NADO H92 0 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 G B 6 03 gimbal i s to be attached to the aircraft, both the GB603 and TORNADO H920 need to be bound. 

### FLIGHT CONTROLS To takeoff , slowlyraise 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 d o n ot 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 pro pellers 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 po wer source : the A10 Dual Balance Charger c om eswi th 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 INCand 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/pur

chased (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 ca n charge th e 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 th e 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. Connecting the Battery

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 M ode 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 automati

cally 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 flyinghigher 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. IMPO RTANT 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.

Step 5) Lean the H92 0 in the forward direction twice (45°), until the Main LED indicator blinks yellow.

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). 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 yo u w ould 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 Hom e Modeand the TORNADO H920 TS01

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/gim

bal 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. C Camera/Gimbal Yaw Control
