### Proposed Commercial Uses Petitioner proposes to use the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL small UAS aircraft for multiple commercial applications, including safety inspections and aerial surveying of the following remote or difficult-to-access facilities:

• Rural farms with low population density; • Silos/stacks; • Grain elevators; • Pipelines; • Power lines and cell towers; • Bridges; • Wind turbines. Petitioner also may use UAS operations in support of emergency response activities on behalf of The Department of Agriculture, The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, and any other federal or state government agency which may require its services and personnel. All of Petitioner's proposed UAS operations are intended to facilitate safety inspections and aerial surveying in areas where the performance of those functions using current methods involves considerable expense and/or a substantial risk of injury. Many. ofthese functions must be performed in hazardous environments by human interaction. Others may be performed much more efficiently with an unmanned aircraft with the ability to hover and capture images at close range. The commercial UAS applications that Petitioner proposes will therefore result in a significant enhancement of safety, by reducing the risks associated with current inspection methods and enhancing current inspection techniques. Proposed UAS Aircraft Petitioner plans to tondJcfc<:>rrul1er¢ial UA9 operation.s with tl}e Tur;bo Ace Cinewing 6 

### HL aircraft. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 

## HL is a small lJAS··with a maximum takeoff weight of 20.6 lbs. At all times, while conducting commercial operations, Petitioner will operate the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 

### HL under line-of-sight conditions with a hands-on control and in response to commands from a Petitioner employee with specialized flight training. Aircraft will perform commercial operations autonomously or in accordance with a pre-programmedflight plan. If the motors on the aircraft experience a power loss within 20% of empty, the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 

### HL has an audible and tactile alarm and failsafe home return system. In the event that the signal between the control system and the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 

### HL is lost or disrupted, the aircraft is designed to hover for approximately 5 seconds attempting to regain the data link. If the UAS, which is equipped with a GPS communication system, is unable to re-establish contact with the control station, it will rely on an auto-pilotfeature that returns the UAS to the home point via the original flight path from the launch point. This will eliminate "fly-away" incidents and otherflight deviations that are known to occur with other types of UAS aircraft. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 

### HL using a NAZA M V2 control has been used for commercial cinematography and survey work due to both platforms being stable and simple to operate. The NAZA M control system has substantial commercial operating duty cycles inside the U.S. and is known for being rugged with a history of reliability in flight. Page 2 of 10 Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC

### Operating Conditions Petitioner will conduct commercial operations with the Turbo Ace Cinewing 

### 6 HL only in accordance with a highly-detailed set of safeguards governing all phases of flight operations. Petitioner employees responsible for UAS operations will always place a priority upon minimizing risk to personnel, equipment, assets and the environment. To ensure the highest level of safety, UAS flight operations will only be conducted after an extensive safety briefing (including Petitioner and customer personnel) and a risk analysis has been conducted. A majority of Petitioner's operations will be in sparsely populated rural agricultural areas that pose no risk of injuries to humans. All UAS flights operated by Petitioner will be conducted by a minimum of two operational personnel, including a system supervisor. No flights may be initiated unless a preflight checklist has been completed and signed by all those Petitioner employees performing the checks. The checklist procedure includes a detailed inspection of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 

### 6 HL prior to the initiation of any operations. Attached as Exhibit A to this exemption petition, is a copy of Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC's pre-flight and post-flight checklist. Any UAS operations to be conducted at an altitude of more than ten feet require the prior approval of Petitioner supervisory personnel. Most importantly, from a safety perspective, operations directly overhead Petitioner and customer personnel are not permitted as the UAS aircraft must be operated at all times at no more than a 30 degree obliqueto any personnel. There are several additional mandates that Petitioner employees will observe in connection with all commercial operations with the Turbo Ace Cinewing 

### 6 HL, including the following:
• No flights thr.()!-lgtl an established Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ); • UAS flights sf'lan,:n6t,.]exceed' LJ:OO

### f~et C!bove. ground or above the sea level per FAAAdvisory Circular 9'1'-57;' ', • All flights will be conducted in Class G airspace; • All flights will be conducted within line-of-sightof UAS operator; • All flights will be conducted in accordance with Class G airspace visibility requirements; • Wind speed shall not exceed 25 knots; • UAS operations will be conducted during daylight hours; • A Notice to Airmen {NOT AM) will be filed with the FAA prior to each UAS operation; At no point in time will Aerial Intelligence, HD's UAS aircraft be allowed to share airspace with commercial aircraft. Prior to conducting operations within three miles from any airport runway, Petitioner will notify the airport operator or the airport tower, as the case may be, in compliance with FAA Advisory Circular 91-57. Petitioner employees will terminate any UAS operations when an approaching commercial aircraft is within five nautical miles.

Page 3 oflO Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC

### Operator Requirements Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC's commercial UAS operations will build on its years of experience as a Licensed, Professional Mechanical Engineer. Only Petitioner employees who have undergone and successfully completed 

### a rigorous competency assessment evaluation will be selected to operate the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL. Operators must demonstrate not only a superior knowledge of the technical issues associated with UAS systems, including the full range of the capabilities and limitations of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL aircraft, but also must show sound piloting techniques and the ability to navigate around structures. Petitioner employees conducting UAS commercial operations will enforce compliance more stringently than written and not accept that "compliance means safe". The Petitioner operators of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL have previous significant experience as the operators ofthe equipment. Any operator ofthe Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL will undergo a program of simulator training as well as hands- on flight training in a simulated inspection environment. Simulator training will allow these employees to gain experience with the specific flight characteristics of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL priorto any actual commercial operations. The following requirementswill apply to any .commercial UAS operations conducted by Petitioner:
• A pilot-in-command (PIC) will be designated at all times for each flight; • The PIC will be directly responsible for, and have final authority over the

operation ofthe UAS; • The PIC will not perform concurrent duties as the visual observer; • The PIC will be qualified on the Turbo Ace Cint;lwing 6 HL; • The PIC will exerci:Se'.gpnJroi1

### Given technical education, trainingandpersonaland

## prbfe~sibnal safety record, the amount of required training, and the operational procedures applicable to Petitioner operating the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL for commercial purposes, Petitioner PIC's should not be required to hold an FAA pilot certificate. The commercial UAS operations by Petitioner will resemble the circumstances under which the FAA will issue a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization to UAS operators without requiring pilot certification. All operations will be in Class G airspace, conducted during daylight hours under visual line-of-sight flight procedures no more than one-half nautical mile laterally from the Petitioner PIC. The manager for Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC's commercial UAS operations is Thomas Hotard, P.E. Mr. Hotard is a degreed Mechanical Engineer (BSME) has over thirty years of experience designing, testing, and operating microprocessor-controlled industrial equipment and components.

### Exemption Request Summary Petitioner is requesting an exemption from FAA regulations in order to conduct commercial UAS operations with a Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL. Attached below is a list of each FAA regulation from which the Petitioner is requesting an exemption and the justification for each such exemption. In accordance with FAA 

### requirements, in the case of each requested exemption, Petitioner is suggesting alternate methods of compliance that will provide a level of safety equivalent to that provided by the regulation from which an exemption is sought. Petitioner's request is consistent with the FAA's policies for the granting of exemptions. It also is in accordance with the direction provided by Congress in Section 

### 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 

### 2012 ("FAA Modernization Act"), instructing the Secretary of Transportation to determine which UAS aircraft operatingwithin visual line of sight may be integrated into the National Airspace System 

### NAS before the development of regulations governing the commercial use of other types of UAS aircraft. Because of the relatively small size, light weight, speed and operational capabilities of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 

### 6 HL, as well as the strict visual line of sight protocols under which these UAS will be operated by Petitioner, the Turbo Ace Cinewing 

### 6 HL aircraft may be safely operatedwithout**c~eating** 

## a hazard to other users of the NAS or a threat to national security. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 

### 6 HL, operated as proposed herein, is therefore the type of UAS that ought to be the subject of operational approval by the Department of Transportation prior to the issuance of regulations governing the operation of small, unmanned aircraftsystems generally. The UAS operations to be conducted by Petitioner pursuant to the requested exemption offer significant safety .enhancements over current methods of providing the same commercial serviCE;lS. ;**~u,rbo**

In evaluating Petitioner's request for an exemption, the FAA should consider not just the ability of Petitioner to achieve a level of safety equivalent to that afforded by the regulations from which an exemption is sought, but also the safety benefits to be derived from using UAS aircraft for services now performed by other means at substantially greater risk to human life. As demonstrated below, the FAA can allow these benefits to be realized without compromising its obligation to promote the highest level of aviation safety. Respectfully submitted,

### of10 Aerial Intelligence HD, LLCAERIAL INTELLIGENCE HD, LLC-ITEMIZED EXEMPTION REQUESTS



### Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC requests an exemption from the following regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration: 14 C.F.R. § 45.23(b)- Display of marks: general 

### This regulation requires the display of an "N" registration mark on any U.S.-registered aircraft. Additional markings are required for limited or restricted category aircraft, experimental aircraft or provisionally-certificated aircraft on the entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station. Referencing Exemption 11109 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0507, In the matter of the petition of CLAYCO, INC.

Regarding the petitioner's requested relieffrom 14 CFR45.23(b) Display of marks, the petitioner requests this reliefunderthe assumption thatmarking with the word "experimental" will berequired as a condition ofa grant ofexemption. However, this marking is reserved for aircraft that are issued experimental certificates under 14 CFR 21.191. The petitioner's UAS will not be certificated under § 21.191, and therefore the "experimental" marking is notrequired. Since the petitioner'sUAS will notbe certificatedunder§ 21.191, a grant ofexemption for §45.23(b) is notnecessary. 

### Equivalent level of safety analysis: The sUrface area of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL is not large enough to contain any of the markings required by the FAA for limited or restricted category aircraft, experimental aircraft or provisionally-certificated aircraft. One of the purposes served by these markings is to caution passengers onboard such an aircraft (including any pilot) that it does not meet all of the FAA's requirements for a standard category certificate of airworthiness. As the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL will not carry any passengers, and otherwise will operate in accordance with strictly-controlled flight parameters, the

### :<:m~rall **saf~tY** ofJne:o,per:atiqn. · Petitioner is willing to include any markings that may be required by the FAA in connection with its commercial UAS operations,with the understanding that the surface area of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL will not permit lettering that is larger than one inch in height. In addition, if requested by the FAA, Petitioner can place markings on each of the control stations used to operate Petitioner's UAS aircraft. 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. § 91.203: Civil Aircraft: Certifications Required 

### Under 14 C.F.R. 

### § 91.203, all U.S.-registered aircraft are required to have a certificate of airworthiness issued by the FAA. Part 21, Subpart H of the FAA's regulations establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates by the FAA. Referencing Exemption 11109 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0507, In the matter ofthe petition of CLAYCO, INC.

The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts. In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 ofP.L. 112-95 in reference to 49 USC § 44704, and in consideration ofthe size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary ofTransportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions ofSection 333. Page 6 of 10 Aerial Intelligence HD, LLCTherefore, the FAA fmds that the requested relieffrom 14 CFR part 21, and any associated noise certification andtestingrequirements ofpart 36, is not necessary. 

### Equivalent level of safety analysis: The strict operational limitations under which Petitioner will conduct flights for commercial UAS applications (e.g., daylight operations, use of Class G airspace, all flights within line- of-sight of the operator) are at least as restrictive as the limitations that apply to the operation of limited or restricted category, experimental or provisionally-certificated aircraft. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL does not carry a pilot or any other passengers and their small size and electric motor reduce the danger that any collisions with the ground or structures will involve anything more than the loss ofthe sUAS. 14 C.F.R. § 

### 61.133(a): Commercial Pilot Privilegesand limitations FAA regulations generally require that an aircraft may engage in operations for compensation or hire only if it is flown by a person holding a commercial pilot certificate. 14 C.F.R. 

### § 61.133(a). Petitioner submits that hands-on experience with the flight characteristics of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL and UAS aircraft generally are a far more effective guarantee of flight safety than a pilot certificate would be in connection with Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC's proposed commercial UAS services. Equivalent level of safety analysis. A UAS, such as the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL has flight characteristics substantially different from manned aircraft. The propulsion system and control surfaces on the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL respond to inputs·that are transmitted remotely from the joy stick located on the control station. A pilot license of any kind would not be useful in the actual operation ofthe

**~UAS.** 

### An operatorwho had done all his training on the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL, with no previous flight experience with manned aircraft, would have no preconceived notions or training to ignore and would be intimately familiarwith maneuveringthe Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL. Aerial Intelligence HD,

By requiring extensive flight experience with the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL prior to conducting commercial operations, Petitioner will have a better grasp of the handling of that aircraft and the available options in the event of an emergency than they would by holding a commercial pilot certificate for an entirely different type of airborne system. 14 C.F.R. § 

### 91.7(a): CivilAircraft Airworthiness. This regulation prohibits the operation of an aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL 6 HL will not be the subject of an airworthiness certification process prior to their use by 01 for commercial UAS services. Referencing Exemption 11109 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0507, In the matter ofthe petition of CLAYCO, INC. Regarding the petitioner's requested relieffrom 14 CFR 91.7(a) Civil aircraft airworthiness, Clayco's request is based on its belief that "no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness," of the Page 7 oflO Aerial Intelligence HD, LLCSkycatch UAS. It claims an equivalent level ofsafety will be provided, "given the size ofthe aircraft and the requirements contained in the Manual for maintenance and use ofsafety checklists prior to each flight, as set forth in the Section B and Section G." While the UAS will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 CFR part 21, Subpart H, the FAA considers the petitioner's compliance with its Flight Manual (hereinafter referred to as the operator's manual) to be sufficient means for determining an airworthy condition in accordance with § 91.7(a). Therefore, relief from § 91.7(a) is granted. The petitioner is still required to ensure that its aircraft is in an airworthy condition

- based on compliance with manuals and checklists identified above- priorto every flight. 

### Equivalent level of safety analysis. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. Given the size ofthe aircraft and the requirements contained in the Operator's Manual for maintenance and use of safety check lists prior to each flight, an equivalent level of safety will be provided during operation ofthe sUAS 14 C.F

### .R. § 

### 91.9{b}(2): CivilAircraft FlightManual, Marking and Placard Requirements. This regulation requires that an approved flight manual, manual material, markings, placards or some combination thereof be placed onboard the aircraft. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL has a configuration suitable for compliance with this requirement. Referencing Exemption 11109 Regulatory Docket No. FAA'"'-2014-:-0507, In the matterofthe petition of CLAYCO, INC. The petitionerrequested relieffrom 14 CFR 91.9(b)(2) Civil aircraft flight manual, markingand placard requirements and 14 CFR 91.203(a) and (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required. Based onthe FAA Memorandum "Interpretationregardingwhether certainrequired documents may b<; kept at an UA's control station," dated August 8, 2014, the requested relieffrom§§ 91.9(b)(2) and 91.203(a) and (b) is notnecessary.

FAA regulations also require that whenever training is provided in a simulator, the simulator must have a second control seat occupied by a safety pilot who possesses at least a private pilot certificate with category and class ratings appropriateto the aircraft being flown. Equivalent level of safety analysis. Petitioner has flight instruction training program for its employees who will conduct commercial UAS operations. Pilots will be required to perform frequent training flights and refresher flights in a sterile environment with suitable objects for pilots to navigate to and around in a simulated commercial environment. The requirement for dual flight controls on an aircraft used for training purposes is mitigated by the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL's limited operational range, small dimensions and the use of lightweight construction materials, all of which reduce the risk of damage to surrounding structures in the event of an operator error that results in the loss ofthe aircraft.

### Aerial Intelligence 

### HD, LLC

### 14 C.F

### .R. 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes: General This regulation specifies the minimum altitude in various flight environments below which aircraft are not allowed to operate. Petitioner will conduct the commercial services it proposes to operate below the FAA-specified minimum of 400 feet AGL and closer to vessels and structures than the minimum separation of 400 feet mandated by the FAA. Equivalent level of safety analysis. The operation of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL aircraft exclusively in Class G airspace (i.e., below 400 feet) is intended as a safety measure to provide a level of separation between Aerial Intelligence HD's commercial UAS operations and the operation of manned aircraft at altitudes above 400 feet. Limiting the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL to flights below the 400-foot AGL will enhance safety rather than compromise it. The risk of damage to any nearby structures or facilities is reduced by Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL's limited operational range, small dimensions and the use of lightweight materials in their construction. Petitioner requests narrowing separation from fixed structures to 100 feet in order to properly inspect said structure. 14 C.F.R.§ 91.121: Altimeter Settings Pursuant to this regulation, an aircraft that is operating below 18,000 feet above Mean Sea Level must contain an altimeter that is set to one of several designated altimeter settings prior to departure. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL for use in the Petitioner's operation includes provisions for an altimeter. This telemetry will be provided if deemed necessary. Equivalent level of safety analysis: The operation of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL sUAS exclusively in

## UAS aircraft above Mean Sea Level and its GPS coordinates will be displayed on the screen ofthe remote control station used by the operator to perform any commercial services. The operator will have continuous situational awareness of the UAS altitude and position as flight operations will be conducted under line- of-sight flight procedures. 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions. FAA regulations require that a rotorcraft operating under 

### VFR conditions have sufficientfuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly for at least an additional 30 minutes. Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL has a maximum operating time of 30 minutes. Equivalent level of safety analysis. The FAA's regulations require sufficient reserves of additional fuel to enable a rotorcraft to find the nearest suitable landing zone if the intended landing facility is not available. The additional time that a multirotor is required to be able to operate is less than the time required to allow fixed-wing aircraft to find a suitable landing field (30 minutes during the day). Petitioner will perform commercial operations autonomously or in accordance with a pre-programmed flight plan. If the motors on the aircraft experience a power loss within 20% of empty, the Page 9 of 10 Aerial Intelligence HD, LLC

### Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL has an audible and tactile alarm and failsafe home return system to ensure that the sUAS will have ample power and time required for a safe landing from the original open take-off area. 14 C.F.R. § 91.203(a} & (b): Civil Aircraft: Certifications Required. 

### The FAA requires that all civil aircraft have an appropriate and current airworthiness certificate and that the airworthiness certificate or special flight authorization for an aircraft be displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it 

### is visible to passengers or crew. The Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL does not have a current airworthiness certificate nor do they have a surface area large enough to display a certificate of airworthiness or special flight authorization. Equivalent level of safety analysis. The strict operational limitations under which Petitioner will conduct flights for commercial UAS applications (e.g., daylight operations, use of Class G airspace, all flights within line- of-sight of the operator) are at least as restrictive as the limitations that apply to the operation of aircraft that have been issued limited or restricted category, experimental or provisional certificates of airworthiness. 14 C.F.R. § 91.405(a}; 407(a}(1}; 409(a)(2);417(a}: Aircraft Maintenance and Inspections: Maintenance Records. 

### FAA regulations impose various requirements regarding the maintenance of civil aircraft, including periodic inspections, approval for return to service by a qualified mechanic following maintenance or repair, an ainl)lorthiness inspection and certain rules concerning maintenance recordkeeping. Petitioner's maintenance of its Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL will not satisfy these requirements. Equivalent level of safety analysis':'.Petitic;m,er I,Nill maintainthe Turbo Ace Cinewing 6

Because of the Turbo Ace Cinewing 6 HL's small size and lightweight construction, Petitioner will be able to subject it to top-to-bottom examination after every flight. All pre- or post-flight maintenance, equipment failures, charge cycle logs, fault/repair logs, inspections and general maintenance records will be kept on file for a minimum of three years. Petitioner has developed a lengthy pre/post-flight checklist; any sUAS which is unable to meet all the requirements for safe operation will be removed from service immediately and will not return to service until any defects have been remedied If any parts have been updated by the manufacturer, Petitioner agrees to immediately place them on the sUAS if its purpose is to ensure its UAS has the most recent equipment and software to provide for public safety. The number of hours that a sUAS has been in operation is logged by Petitioner to ensure proper life of components as well as the flight packs that provide power.

# INTRODUCTION
1.1WelcometotheWorld ofHexacopters

A NEWERAIN SUPER SIZED HEXACOPTERS With twice the payload ofa standard sized octocopter, the CINEWING 6 Hexacopter is designed to effortlessly carry large DSLR cameras such as the Canon 5D Mark iii orthe Nikon D800. While most foldable systems cause structural problems or require disassembly or hardware removal, the fully assembled CINEWING 6 can easily fold into a portable footprint or lock into position for flight. There is even an industrial grade travel-friendly aluminum case designed to transport and safeguard your investment. Hexacopters are loosely classified into several categories

- from toys for amusement to complex units for professional video, science & research. Now, a new class of Hexacopteris emergingfor commercial applications. The Turbo Ace CINEWING 6 is the clear leader in this group with a list of outstanding features: an advanced PC interface (so you can update or customize the flight controller), cutting edge auto-stabilizing mode for videographers, anti-vibration mounts, dynamicallybalanced motors for high definition video production, and a host ofother upgrades to improve reliability. Unlike most Hexacopters, CINEWING 6 is fully assembled and tested in the USA and it is ready to produce high quality video right out of the box. CINEWING 6 parts, upgrades and accessories are fully supported online and locally in the USA. Ifyou are starting from scratch, the CINEWING 6 RTF package even includes a paired transmitter that is fully programmed and calibrated. For additional flight training, you can choose from our optional Phoenix flight simulator, an easy-to-flyhelicopter, and/or aminiWalkera QRX350 quad. 

### 1.2ImportantInstructions

• Followthe instruction manual for a tied down flight test on a bench. This is the safest way to make sure the CINEWING 6 Hexacopter has not been damaged during shipping.

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6

• Foldable CINEWING 6 aluminum arms operate on guiding carbontracks with keyed circular locks on each end. To release the arm from the folded or operating ends ofthe track, please unscrew the arm bolt counter-clockwise to a height of 1/8" before the lock will release. Ifthe bolt is not unscrewed to a sufficientheight, you may risk scratching the carbon track. Make sure the red arrow with a circle ontop ofthe GPS antenna is pointing to the front ofthe CINEWING 6. Ifthe CINEWING 6 flies in a toilet bowl pattern, the arrow direction can be adjusted slightly to compensate by turning it within a 10 degrees radius from the forward direction. Any over-adjustment ofthis arrow pointerwill cause the Hexacopterto lose control. • Priorto each takeoff, make sure the GPS antenna/compass is erected from the folded position and screweddown. • When mounting a propeller, use loctite and make sure the propeller clamp sits flat against the top of the propeller. Even new propellers may need to be balanced ifvibration shows on video. Use a blade balancer with heavy gauge tape adhered to the underside ofthe blade for balance. In bright sunlight, the GoPro 3 may showrolling shutterjello. Use an ND8 filter ifnecessary to slow down its shutter speed. • Battery must be positioned bymoving it backward and forward until the front and back weights are balanced from the center point of the Naza flight controller. You can lift the CINEWING 6 up with a finger on each side to checkthe balance (see manual for details). The battery canbeplaced either on top orbottomofthe CINEWING 6. • Camera must be balanced like a seesaw on a brushless gimbal, otherwise the gimbal motors willbe stressed andvibrate. 

### Maintaining the CINEWING 6's LiPo Batteries • CINEWING 6 batteries are made up of 6 cells, and each cell must be maintained between 3.7V to 4.2V. The total voltage for CINEWING 6 batteries should be maintained between 22.2V (3.7Vx6) and 25.2V (4.2Vx6) without load.



### • VERY IMPORTANT: Keep each cell above 3.7V. A cell is atrisk ofbeing damaged orlife shortened at 3.67Vpercell without load. Each CINEWING 6battery includes a yellow charging/discharging plug and a white balancing plug. Both plugs must be plugged in to charge the battery. The yellow plug with thicker gauge wires enables a faster charge rate, while the white plug with 1 small red wire and 6 small black wires enables the 5

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6 charger to balance charge 6 individual cells. When all 6 cells reach approximately 4.2V each for a total of25.2V, the charger will automatically stop. • A 

### battery meter is one of the best tools for monitoring voltage for any LiPo battery. There are seven pins on the battery meter. One ofthe pins is marked with a "-" symbol, which should line up with the black wire ofthe battery's white balancing plug. The first number displayed is the total voltage ofthebattery, followedbythe voltage ofeach individual cell. 

### Before & 

### After Each Flight • Attitude mode is the mostreliable wayto fly for experiencedpilots, as itis not susceptible to GPS interference. GPS mode is commonly used by beginners, but once more experience is acquired, attitude mode is highly recommended (you can still use GPS mode as a backup). When orientation is lost, do not panic. Just flip to GPS mode and let go ofthe cyclic stick, and the GPS will take over. Do not attempt to recover the craft with the cyclic stick. There is a certain time of the year in which solar flare may interfere with GPS. To recover the craft in such a case, switch to manual (not attitude) mode. Please be aware that ifthe CINEWING 6 has passed through airport X-ray screening, near a magnet or has been relocated more than 30 miles from where it was originally calibrated, the GPS may need to be recalibrated depending on the geographic latitude atwhichyouare located (see manual). • Before each flight, always tum on the transmitter first, then plug in the CINEWING 6 battery. Then, you need to allow enough time for the flight controller and GPS to warm up and initialize. The Naza Lite takes approximately 2 minutes to warmup. The yellowLED light will tum offwhen theNazaLite is readyforuse. 

### • IMPORTANT: After each flight, always unplug the CINEWING 6 batteryfirst, then tumoffthe transmitter. Ifyouforget, the Hexacopter and/or transmitterwill continue to drainpowerand thebatterywillbe damaged. 

### Dos • Do initializethe CINEWING 6 & takeofffrom a large, leveled surface. • Do implement apre-flight checklist &use it consistentlybeforetakeoff. • Do unplug the CINEWING 6 battery when maintaining or upgrading the Hexacopter. • Do dismount propellers if battery is plugged in while updating the flight controller. 6

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6

Don'ts • Don't operate near people or pets & do not allow people to approach an operatingHexacopter. • Don't use magnetized screwdrivers & tools in close proximity to the GPS antenna. 

### • Don'tattempt to catch a Hexacopter
.


### PRE-FLIGHT CHECKLIST & IMPORTANT SAFETY OPERATION



### •

• Checkfor any loose screws andpowerwires onthe CINEWING 6 and camera gimbal. Check for cracked or loose blades. Make sure that loctite is applied to all propellerlockingnuts. • For quality video, camera gimbal must be firmly secured by screws. Shake it



### •

•

•

• gentlyto checkthat all screws and slidingbearings are tightly secured. Ensure that the model on your transmittermatches with the CINEWING 6you are flying. Make sure the battery is 24.6V or higher before plugging it into the CINEWING6. Make sure all switches on top of the transmitter panel are flipped forward (away from you). Top-side switches (i.e. flight mode switch) shouldbe flipped down. (Optional for Dual Operator Setup only) Bind the camera gimbal receiver to the camera transmitter first. Ensure that the camera is on record mode and the transmitter and receivers are both turned on. Test video reception by waving yourhandin front ofthe camera. • Remember to set the focus on the camera. Most wide-angle lenses should be setto close to infinity. • Bind the CINEWING 6 to the pilot transmitter. Set the transmitter menu so that the voltage of the copter is shown on the LCD (only available when telemetry option is installed). Wait for the CINEWING 6's yellow flashing LED lightto change color. This usually takes about 2 minutes. Next, wait for the continuous flashing green/purple light, which indicates the copter is locked into more than 6 satellites (you are still able to fly ifyou are locked into less than 6 satellites). 7

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6

• IMPORTANT: The flashing RED light is the low voltage warning, so land the CINEWING 6 within one minute. When the CINEWING 6 is in the second stage ofpower protection, it will land itselfand attempt to auto-level while doing so. 

### In the Case ofanEmergency
LOSS OF ORIENTATION: Do not panic- ifthe CINEWING 6 has already attained the minimum 30 ft range from home position, it has already established its orientation. Do not attempt to recover the craft with the cyclic stick. Flip the GPS mode switch on the top left side ofthe transmitter all the way forward to GPS mode. Simply let go of the cyclic stick on your transmitter, and GPS will take over and automatically level the craft. • After landing, unplug the CINEWING 6 battery and gimbal battery, and power off all devices such as the pilot transmitter, camera transmitter, video transmitter, andvideo receiver. 

### 1.3 QuickStart
The CINEWING 6 has a convenient foldable arm design. When you first remove it from thebox, please make sure that the GPS antennais erected andproperlytightened by turning the top locking cylinder in 'a clock-wise direction. Next, loosen the arm screws located on top ofthe folding track. These screws are keyed so they must be loosened andraised by about 118 ofan inch in order for the arms to fold. Unfold the arms and tighten them backin a clock-wise manner. Make sure the roundkey located onthebottom ofthe screw is securely locked into the circularkey onthe track. When it is properly locked in, it will prevent the arms from accidentally folding during flight. Refer to section 5 TESTING & OPERATIONS (Please DO NOT install the propellers during the testingprocedure). Attach the battery to either the top orbottom ofthe CINEWING 6. Lift the CINEWING 6 up with one finger oneach side from the center offlight controller. Move the battery until the CINEWING 6 is leveled like a seesaw withequal weight on both sides. Itis importantto note that the CINEWING 6 will not fly properly and may lose control and crash ifthe center of gravity is not balanced at the middle ofthe flight controller. Turn on the transmitter, and within 2 seconds, plug in the CINEWING 6 battery to bind. If your unit comes with DJI NAZA, please observe the blinking yellow LED light locatedbehind the quad, which indicates the controller is in warmup stage. Wait for about 2 minutes until the yellow
8

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6 light stops flashing. Please check the LED light description at section 5.3. GPS remains to be the easiest and the safest way to fly for beginners. However, Attitude mode is the most reliable way to fly for intermediate to advanced level pilots, as all GPS setups are susceptible to interference and sun spots activities. Ifyou are a trained pilot and use the GPS mode as a backup, select the attitude mode from your transmitter. Move both sticks ofthe transmitter together, in one action, down to the lowerright or left cornerto start the motors. Release right stick and immediately give the left stick about 10% throttle so the motors will not cease. Itwill not lift offuntil the throttle stick passes 50%. Have an experienced pilot test fly it on a bench while tied down. No defective claim is allowed if the unit is crashed, so please be very careful.

•

•

• As the operator ofthe CINEWING 6, it's your responsibility to follow all proper procedures, protocols and precautions to ensure the safe operation of the CINEWING 6. The operator mustwear safety glasses and all bystanders must be protected in a safe area. Do not operate the CINEWING 6 in the proximity of children, pets, cars and other vulnerable property. The owner and the operator of the CINEWING 6 assumes all liability for any damages caused inthe operation ofthe CINEWING 6, including butnot limitedto personal injury, equipment andproperty damage. We have programmed model#l titles as CINEWING 6*** to fly your hexacopter and model#2 as Simulator***, for training with the optional simulator which you may have purchased. Please select the correct model in the transmitter menu before operating any device. Also, please do not make any changes to the program, as failure may occur ifyou are unfamiliar with the settings. We have created a backup model#8 for your CINEWING 6 in case the program is accidentally altered. Never select "DELETE" in the transmitter menu as it will delete all the programs. Reprogramming the transmitter is a very time consuming task. Wow Hobbies charges a standard rate of$120/hourfor multi rotor servicing, so pleasebevery careful. The proper way to carry and transport the CINEWING 6 is to hold onto one, or preferably two of its extension arms near the center hub so that you don't risk bendingthe arms. Do not carrythe CINEWING 6upside downbyits skidbecause the skid could come loose and the rest ofthe CINEWING 6 may end up on the floor. Since the CINEWING 6 propellers are dismounted for shipping purposes, you must first follow the setup instructions in this usermanual to mountthe propellers. Any attempt to skip procedures will endin abadcrash. Do not be tempted to fly a large new aircraft such as the CINEWING 6 out-of-the-box, especially after shipping. Prior to its maiden flight, please tie the CINEWING 6 down to a stationary workbench for 3 battery test flights. Any crashed aircraft is not eligible for Dead-on-Arrival or any other defective equipment claims. If you are new to RC equipment, please seek the help of experiencedRC equipment operators to prevent damage and injury. Ifyou choose to use your own radio instead of the one supplied, you must first calibrate your transmitter to the CINEWING 6. If you are using a transmitter other than a Walkera or a Futaba transmitter (e.g. Spektrum
13

• and JR) yon must also reprogram each ESC independently. Note that due to the large number ofavailable transmitters on the market, we will not be able to support all of them, so we strongly suggest that you use the radio we have supplied. Any attempt to fly without proper transmitter calibration and ESC programming will result in a crash and it will invalidate any DOA (Dead-on-Arrival) claim. If you have purchased an RTF Ready-to-Fly unit (in otherwords, including the transmitter), please skip these steps. Additional Velcro shouldbe added onboth the battery strap and the flight battery to preventthebatteryfrom sliding during flight. 

### • Operator must tie down CINEWING 6 and dismount all propellers when it is



### • hooked up to a computer. Any incorrect settings or values may trigger an accidental motor startup. When you need to re-program the CINEWING 6 controller and/or receiver, the power is supplied via your flight battery for any setting or receiver adjustments, including transmitter calibration. Turbo Ace, its distributors, and dealers are not responsible for any service or support once the program has been altered and will not be liable for any damages caused by the mishandling ofthe CINEWING 6 andits associated equipment. 

### Operator shall use Loctite to secure all necessary screws on the CINEWING 6, including but not limited to skid landing mounts and propeller locking screws. The use of blue Loctite prevents screws and propeller crown caps from coming loose. Blue Loctite shouldnot come in contact with anyplastic. DO NOT use red Loctite, as it can only be removed with the application ofhigher temperatures.

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6

A crucial step in preparing to mount your propellers (props) is to determine which props are clockwise (CW) and which are counter-clockwise (CCW). The first step is to make sure that you are looking at the top ofthe prop. Make sure that the side with thebearing is facing the ground (Bottom side). Next, lookatthepartoftheblade right nextto the center oftheprop. Theblade willhave one edge higherthan the other. The higher edge is considered the leading edge ofthe blade. Looking to the blade on the right side, ifthe leading edge is towards you (assuming that the prop is horizontally oriented), then the prop will rotate clockwise. Ifthe leading edge is facing away from you, then the prop will rotate counter-clockwise. There are a total of 8 propellers in yourpackage. 3 ofthe propellers are counter-clock-wise (CCW) type propellers. The other 3 propellers are marked as clock-wise (CW) type propellers. Each type of propellermustbe mounted on a specifiedmotor onthe CINEWING 6- please refer to the diagramin Section2.1 Top View ofthe CINEWING 6. (1) Unscrewthe screws andremovethepropellercover. (2) Due to the precision needed to reduce vibration, the propellers are designed to fit tightly on the motors. Insert each type of propeller to each specified motor location. Motors 1 & 3 & 5 use counter-clock-wisepropellers andmotors 2 & 4 & 6 use clock-wise propellers. Please make sure that they match exactly (see top view figure on Diagram and Parts section). Failure to mount the correct propeller(s) willresult in a crash. The propellers that come withthe CINEWING 6 are custom enforced for stability and are stiffer and stronger than stockpropellers available inthe market. Usingalternativepropellers maycausevideo vibration. (3) It is very important to put some Loctite on the inside of each screw before securing it to the propeller. Over tightening the screws may damage the motor aluminumthreads. Repeatthis for all 6 propellers. IMPORTANT: Every time youremove the propellers, you needto reapply some Loctite and letitdry. 

### 3.4BatteryRequirements &

Ifyou have purchased an RTF package (CINEWING 6 with transmitter), please skip Sections 4.1 through 4.5, because all settings have been completed and your CINEWING 6 and transmitter have been calibrated, paired, and test-flown as a set. Unless you are familiar with the settings, any changes might override the factory's settings and disable the aircraft, affecting its performance and flight reliability.
Ifyou havepurchasedanARFpackage (CINEWING 6without transmitter) and you have a Walkera or Walkera Devention transmitter, you can skip Section 4.1 and go directly to Section 4.2 for the Transmitter Calibration. In order for a flight controllerto workproperly, your specific transmitterhas to be calibrated to workwith each new CINEWING 6. Crashes will be imminent if you skip this one time procedureto match a CINEWING 6 with a transmitter.
Ifyou havepurchased anARF package (CINEWING6 withouttransmitter) and you are not using a Walkera orFutabatransmitter,youmust complete Section4.1 ESC Programming and Section 4.2 Transmitter Calibration. CINEWING 6 ESCs were originally programmed to work with Walkera and Futaba transmitters. To use the same ESCs on Spektrum, JR or othertransmitters, the enduserneeds to reprogram each ESC independently. Also, in order for a flight controller to work properly, your specific transmitter has to be calibrated to work with each new CINEWING 6.

(1) IMPORTANT: Remove all6propellers from the motors for safety. (2) Double check to make sure all ESC connectors are marked/labeled (#1 through #6, matching the connectors on the flight controller #1 through #6) so that you will be able to keep track ofthe corresponding connectors when youneedto putthembacklater. (3) Disconnect all 6ESC connectors from the WooKong/NAZA flight controller so they will not interfere with each other'sprogramming. (4) Movethe throttle stick all the way down. Nowturn on the transmitter. (5) Disconnect X3 on the NAZA flight controller andplug it into AUX 1 on the recetver. (6) Insertthe #1 labeledESC connectors into the receiver's throttle channel port while watching for the correct polarity. Black/darkbrown wires are usually onthe edge ofthe receiver. Please verify polarity inyour receiver manual if you are not using the stock receiver. (Make sure the Receiver and Transmitterradio are bound) (7) Move the throttle stickallthe wayup. (8) Within 3 seconds, connectthe batteryto the CINEWING 6batteryplug (The CINEWING 6batteryplug is still connectedto all 6 ESCs but only one ESC shouldbe connectedto the receiver at a time.) (9) When the ESC makes 1beeping sound, immediately move the throttle stick all the way down. The ESC will then make 2 beeping sounds (Ifyou did not hear the 1beeping sound when entering programming mode or you did not hear 2 beeping sounds after the ESC completed its programming, then you need to move throttle all the way down and disconnect the battery from the CINEWING 6 battery plug and repeat Steps (6) to (9) for the ESC. Ifyou did not experience anyproblems, then youhave completedprogramming for this ESC, which now retains the high and low endpoint data in its memory. Disconnect the battery from the CINEWING 6's battery connector, then disconnecttheESC connectorfrom the receiver. (10) Repeat Steps (6) to (9) for each ESC. Please make sure you have programmed all 4 ESCs by starting with the #1 labeled ESC and finishing with#6 labeled ESC.

Please double check all settings, tie the CINEWING 6 downto a bench, and test fly it to check the settings. Some transmitters use random bind, which means you have to plug in the battery to the CINEWING 6 within 2-3 seconds after the radio is turned on. Please observe the LED light located at the back of the CINEWING 6 GPS Module (Please refer to 5.3 LED light description). Fixed ID Bind is the TURBO ACE default binding setting for the CINEWING 6 RTF unit (Please refer to the FIXED ID BIND section). Most receivers flash before binding and remain solid after binding, so please make sure your receiver has properly been bound to your transmitter. Do not launch the CINEWING 6 on its maiden flight until all operations are confirmed as normal, especially after shipping. Tie it down to a bench for a preflight check. Failure to do so may cause serious damage to the CINEWING 6 and/orpeople aroundit. Factories and dealers will notbe liable for any damages from the operationofthis aircraft. 

### 4.6 Transmitter Flight Control & 

### Gain Adjustments (For ARF Only)

We do not recommend that any inexperienced users adjust the flight control or Gain values using the DJI NAZA Assistant software. It is a steep learning curve for these adjustments, which we have already fme-tuned and completed for you. Improper settings may cause the CINEWING 6 to lose control and may result in serious damage. Ifthe original factory settings are altered in any way, with the exception of transmitter calibration adjustments for ARF packages, it will automatically void the 24-hour "No Dead onArrival" guarantee. Dead on arrival returns are strictly checked for setting changes and tampering. Although knowledge can be acquired over time, the CINEWING 6 flight controller adjustments are sophisticated and complicated. Do 42

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6

not attempt to change these settings until you are familiar with the setup. Please go to online forums to learn about the flight control settings, as we do not provide any technical supportfor these settings. When you have purchased the Ready-to-Fly unit, there are 3 control modes that we have setup on your flight controller and transmitter: GPS and ATTITUDE and MANUAL. GPS Mode has the best auto stabilization and ability to perform GPS Lock, making the aircraft very easy to fly. This mode is appropriate for videographic and photographic applications. Attitude Mode has some auto stabilization and ability to perform attitude hold and makes the aircraft easier to fly, which is also suitable for videographic and photographic applications. Manual Mode is suited for experienced pilots, as it allows more manual control in adverse. Do not switch to the MANUAL mode ifyou are abeginner.
CINEWING 6 with GPS: The three modes can be switched during flight bytoggling the Flap switch ontop ofyourradio. Forthe Ready-to-Fly CINEWING 6, we have set this switch on your radio to GPS MODE when toggled forward, ATTITUDE MODE when toggled to the middle, and MANUAL MODE when toggled backward. Before takeoff, please make sure all front panel switches on your transmitter are flipped forward and all switches such as the flight mode/hold switches on the side panel are pusheddown.
The basic gain and attitude gain values ofthe CINEWING 6 can be adjusted in the AUTOPILOT section when you run the DJI NAZA ASSISTANT SOFTWARE. The default settings are BASIC GAIN Pitch set to 130%, Roll set to 120%, Yaw set to 90% and Vertical set to 120% and ATTITUDE GAIN Pitch set to 100% and Roll set to 100% (Warning: BASIC GAIN should never be set lower than 90%). Again, it is very important to remember to tie down the aircraft and remove all the propellers when you are programming the fight controller with the supplied Programming USB-MicroUSB cable. Failure to do so may cause accidental motor start up with incorrect values entered and may result in serious injury. Always remember to tie downthe CINEWING 6to abench for test flights afteryouhave changed any settings (Ifthe motor does not spin while performing the CSC, please re-calibrate/perform the Command Sticks Calibration).

GPS Calibrationprocedure: (1) (TURBO ACE default settings assign the control mode switch to mix switch on Devo 1 0). Flip the control mode switch back and forth from "Manualmode" to "GPS mode" 10 times, and the LED indicator (locatedbehind the GPS) will turn a constant blue- this indicates that you have entered calibration mode. Before continuing, make sure the switch's starting position is in Manual Mode, and the ending position is in GPS mode [***Manual mode is when the switch is flipped backward (toward pilot), andGPS mode is whenthe switch is flipped forward (awayfrom pilot)]. (2) Calibration in horizontal: Rotate the copter with the horizontal surface until the LED turns a constant green, indicating completion ofhorizontal calibration. (3) Calibration in vertical: while the LED is a constant green, hold your copter vertically with the nose pointing down to the ground and rotate it along with the vertical axis, until the green LED turns off, which indicates completion of vertical calibration. (4) After completion of the horizontal and vertical calibration, the LED will show whetherthe calibrationhas been successful ornot. • IfLED turns white for 3 seconds, calibrationwas successful, anditwill exit calibrationmode automatically. • If LED blinks red, the calibration failed. Please start the GPS calibration again, startingfrom Step (1).

# TESTING & 

# OPERATIONS
5.1 Tie-DownFlightTest
(1) Tie down all six arms (notthe skids) ofthe CINEWING 6 to a heavyfixture such as a table ora workbench. Make sure there is plenty ofspace aroundthe aircraft. Ifyouhave a randombinding transmitter such as the Devention 10, please make sure there are no other similarradios nearby duringthe process ofbinding. (2) Prior to initiating your CINEWING 6, make sure it is on a water level surface and do not move the CINEWING 6 before takeoffor during the binding process. Failure to do so will result in miscalculations ofthe 3-Axis gyro compensation, andthe CINEWING 6 will notbe able to operateproperly.

46

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6 (3) Make sure yourbattery is fully chargedusing a battery meter (shouldread about 4.1V to 4.2V per cell on all 6 cells). Plug in the battery connector to the power input connector from the chassis. Do notrun any LiPo batteries below 3.67Vper cell without load, otherwise the batterywill be permanently damaged. (4) After 2 seconds ofinitialization, the CINEWING 6 will issue 5 consecutivebeep tones. (5) Place your transmitter flat on a table in front ofyou with thejoystick facing up. Make sure all switches above the two control sticks onthe transmitter are pushed forward and away from you and the two switches at the very top of the transmitter side panel are pushed down towards the table. Move the throttle stick (left stick) to the lowest position towards you. At this time, you do not need to move the directional stick (right stick), which is spring loaded and will always return to the middle position when released). Now you can tumyour transmitter "ON." (6) Wait another six seconds for 5 consecutive beep tones from the CINEWING 6, which indicate thatbinding between the receiver and the transmitteris complete. Before moving any controls on the transmitter, it's always good practice to look for the solidredLED light onthe receiver to confirmthatbinding is complete. (7) Stay at a safe distance and execute the combination stick command (CSC) to start the motor.

(8) Make sure that the propellers of Motors #1, #3, #5 are rotating in a CCW (counter clockwise) direction and the propellers ofMotors #2, #4, #6 are rotating in a CW (clockwise) direction. As you increase throttle, the propellers should speedup andvice versa. (9) Moving the rudder stick (which also controls the throttle) to the right should decelerate CCWpropellers (Motors #1, #3, #5), thereby decreasing CCW torque so the aircraft turns CW. Moving the rudder to the left should decelerate CW propellers (Motors #2, #4, #6), thereby decreasing CW torque so the aircraft turns CCW. (10) Moving the directional stick to the top should decelerate the three front propellers (Motors #1, #2, #6) and moving the directional stick to the bottom should decelerate the backpropellers (Motors #3, #4, #5). Movingthe directional stick to the left should decelerate the left propellers (Motors #2, #3) and moving

47

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6
the directional stick to the right should decelerate the rightpropellers (Motors #5, #6). (11) Move the throttle stick to the lowest position and the propeller should come to a stop. Unplug the batteryplugbeforeturning the transmitter off. (12) Repeat above Steps (2) to (11) twice more so that you complete 3 rounds of8 to 10 minute tie-down flights. 

### 5.2Actual FlightTest&

### Training
(1) Pick a calm day or find a large empty indoor space. Keep all people and pets away from the flight test area andplacethe CINEWING 6 on a level surface. (2) Repeat Steps (2) through (11) under Section 5.1 (3) Ifyou fly the CINEWING 6 too close to the ground, the wash (deflected air) comingbackup from the ground may cause significant flight instability. As with all propeller driven systems, you should tryto keep larger aircraft at least 3 to 4 feet from the ground and avoid flying in a smallroom, which deflects air current. Before takeoff, youmay also notice some vibration ofthe aircraft causedby auto stabilization from the deflected air. Once the aircraft lifts away from the ground, itwill stabilize. (4) Ifyou are a beginner pilot, we highly recommend that you purchase a simulator trainingpackage ora training quad such as the WalkeraLadybird orWalkera QR X350. Even though the CINEWING 6 is equipped with easy-to-fly auto stabilization, it is unsafe to operate the aircraft without any flight experience. Always try to maintain the tail-in position (tail towards you) because that is the easiestorientationto keep your aircraft in control. (5) As your skills improve, additional training includes flying in circles, figure "8"s, backwards, sideways and other exercises to improve coordination.

### 5.5 BatteryTips
(1) Set alarm on your transmitter radio to a safe range. Trying to extend the flight time when the battery is low will only put your aircraft at risk. Always check yourbatteries before each flight. (2) Unlike other rechargeable batteries, LiPo batteries can be easily damaged ifyou drain them below 3.67V per cell without load or a total of 22V for a 6-cell
50

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6 battery. Do not force your CINEWING 6 to run continuously when it's low. Doing so will only permanently damage your battery and/or drastically reduce the flight time. (3) Disconnect the battery plug from the CINEWING 6 when you are done flying. Do not leave yourbattery plugged into the CINEWING 6 after a flight, or it will surelybe damaged. (4) An inexpensive battery meter with an alarm would be a smart tool to have. Always check each battery's charge before each flight. A fully charged battery shouldbe around4.1V to 4.2Vpercell. 

### (5) For your transmitter, a transmitter battery is a lot more reliable and convenient than 8 "AA'' batteries. With a larger capacity, a longer lifespan, and the desired voltage, the transmitter battery is also rechargeable (uses the same battery charger as thehelicopterbattery).

# CAMERA MOUNT SETUP
6.1 CINEWING 6 CAMERA MOUNT SERVO CONTROL SETUP
IMPORTANT: Only digital servos are compatible with the WooKong/Naza flight controller. Using an analog servo will cause malfunctioning, produce loud buzzing noises and burn up the servo. A light buzzing sound from a digital servo is, however, normal. The CINEWING 6 features built-in gyros for camera mount auto compensation so there is no needto purchase separate gyros for yourcameramount.
6.2.1 How to set your camera TILT (PITCH) auto compensation control for the CINEWING 6 flight controller, receiver and transmitter
Connectflight controllerF2 to tilt (pitch) servo. Connect receiver's (For Walkera Devo 10 is Aux 4, For Spektrum DX8 is Aux 3, or Futaba 14SG is channel 7) Channel (assuming the AUX4 channel has not been alreadyused for flight mode control or other functions) to flight controller's X1 using a 3 wire cable with the black ground wire closest to the edge ofthe flight controller (some receivers' polarityfor ground maybe different, so see yourreceivermanual for more details). Go to the AUTOPILOT tab in DJI NAZA Assistant Software to set all remote adjustments to INH, and go to the GIMBAL tab and click ON to enable the gimbal manual control. Additionally, when you tilt the CINEWING 6 forwards or backwards, the CINEWING 6 gyro will sense the tilt so the camera mount servo will also automatically compensate for that by pitching the camera in the opposite direction to compensate. Go to the GIMBAL tab in DJI NAZA Assistant Software, and go to the 3. With Automatic Control Gain, you can increase the gain to make camera mount auto compensation movement faster or decrease the gain to make auto compensation movement slower. Moreover, if the camera mount is moving in the wrong direction, you can click the button under DIRECTION, to change between "NORM" and "REV." For Walkera Devention 10, the AUX 4 knob can be turned to adjust the camera mount'stilt action.
6.2.2 How to setyourcamera auto compensationROLL control for the CINEWING 6 flight controller, receiver andtransmitter
52

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6

Connect flight controller Fl to roll servo. Now the servo will automatically compensate when the CINEWING 6 rolls. First, tie down your CINEWING 6 before you turn on your transmitter radio, then connect the battery to the CINEWING 6. Connect the provided Programming USB cable from your PC computer's USB port (XP or WIN7) to Micro USB port on the CINEWING 6 communication port (on the LED side panel ofthe CINEWING 6). Please connect this cable after the transmitter has been bound to the receiver. Go to the GIMBAL tab to click ON to enable the gimbal manual control. Additionally, when you roll the CINEWING 6 left or right, the CINEWING 6 gyro will sense the roll so the camera mount servo will also automatically compensate for that by rolling the camera mount in the opposite direction to compensate. Go to the GIMBAL tab in DJI NAZA Assistant Software, and go to the 3. With Automatic Control Gain, you can increase the gain to make camera mount auto compensation movement faster or decrease the gain to make auto compensation movement slower. Moreover, if the camera mount is moving in the wrong direction, you can click the button under DIRECTION, to change between "NORM"and "REV."
6.2.3 How to adjust the compensation gain and servo direction reversal in the DJI NAZAAssistant Software
Remove all 6propellers for safety- please DO NOT skip this or serious accidents may occur. Tumonyourradio and connect the battery (plugging inthe mainbattery to the CINEWING 6 is required to provide power to the gimbal servos) to the CINEWING 6. Make sure your transmitter throttle stick is all the way down before binding. For safety, please be very cautious to avoid moving the throttle stick ofyour transmitter during the entireprocess. Connectthe USB cable fromyourPC to the micro USB port ofthe CINEWING 6 communication port (on the LED side panel ofthe CINEWING 6). Double click on the application DJI NAZA Assistant Software. At first launch of the application, the language may appearin Chinese- clickonthis Chinesetab anyway and change the language to English by clicking on the tab on the top ofthe screen. Sometimes when you launch an application and you don't see anything, it may be because the screen is hidden behind the previous application such as Windows Explorer, whichyou may have launched previously. Click onthe "Gimbal" tab on the left panel ofthe screen. Now test the gimbal on the CINEWING 6 by tilting it firmly on your hands. When the CINEWING 6 tilts upwards, the gimbal should travel and compensate in the opposite direction by tilting down. The camera should continue to lock on the subjectyou are shooting. If, however, the gimbal compensates in the same 

### 53

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6
direction, go to 3. Automatic Control Gainunder direction and clickthebox "NORM" or "REV" on the screen to reverse the servo travel. Test the gimbal compensation for roll action, and ifcompensation is in the same direction, simply click the box below direction for roll "NORM" or "REV." Now test the gimbal for the amount of compensation. NOTE: The factory default compensation for tilt is set at 0.00. Each gimbal servo travels differently, so adjustments may be required. Ifthe gimbal compensation is too much or too little, you may adjust both the gimbal tilt and gimbal roll value by entering the number on the gain. When you have completed the settings, click on "Write" at the top of the program. You must click on "Write," otherwise the data might notbeloaded onto the CINEWING 6 controller. 

### 6.2 FlightControlAdjustmentforAuto-Stabilization
Over attitude gain control may affect the vibration on the CINEWING 6. This type of vibration is particularly noticeable during climb out when there is a violent shake during acceleration. Also, any drastic weight change, such as loading on a DSLR camera, may require the attitude control gain adjustment. To access the adjustment, open the DJI NAZA Assistant Software, which is contained in the included flash drive. Connectthe CINEWING 6 to a Windows-based PC withWindows 8, Windows 7 or XP (For Windows to run this application, a current DirectX driver may be required). Upon initial application launch, you may see umeadable Chinese language. Just click on the top tab, and change language to English. Select the "AUTOPILOT" tab onthe left column ofthe screen. Adjust the Basic Gain and Attitude Control Gain for Pitch, Roll, Yaw and Vertical by increments of 10. It is important that you click the "WRITE" tab, otherwise the new settings will notbe storedinthe flight controller. 

### 6.3 BasicGain andAttitude Gain Adjustmentfor Stabilization

For BASIC GAIN, recommended settings are Pitch set to 130%, Roll set to 120%, Yaw set to 90% and Vertical set to 120%. ForATTITUDE GAIN, Pitch set to 100% and Roll set to 100%. Warning: BASIC GAIN needs to be set at a minimum of90%. If your CINEWING 6 is not as stable after a heavy camera or camera mount is installed, you should increase the BASIC GAIN and ATTITUDE GAIN by 15%-25% each time and re-test the performance ofyour CINEWING 6. Please refer to 4.6.3 to adjustyour BASIC GAIN andATTITUDE GAIN.

54

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6 Assumptions on DTI NAZAFC design: Assume aircraft flies stable as a general rule, which means FC outputs control signal to motor when it finds frame tilts for a stabilization recovery. We consider this non-RC tilt as an error. According to the previous flight states, on the condition that vibration occurs during tilt, this can still beregarded as the stable state. When the aircraft tilts to a certain direction, it will engender a tendency, which could bereinforced. Notice: Assumption 2 is not contradictoryto Assumption 3. We haven'tbuilt CINEWING 6 mathematical modeling, which needs adjustments in Gain Tuning through personal sense. Itis suggestedthat users grab the aircraft on the ground when tuning, which takes patience and skill. You will only get a comparatively ideal value after hours of tuning. 

### When setting Basic Gain and Attitude Gain Parameters, please exercise caution and always have the CINEWING 6 tied down to a bench.

# MAINTENAINCE & 

# REPAIR
7.1 ReplacingMotors (For Repairs Only)

To simplify motor replacement, the CINEWING 6 motors canbe disconnected at the end ofthe arms. Replacing a motor shouldbe relatively easy in comparison to other hexacopters.
IMPORTANT: Rememberto reapplyLoctitewhenputtingbolts and screwsback. (1) Make sure all propellers are removedwhile repairing oradjusting settings for the CINEWING6. (2) Make sureyourbatteryis disconnected from the CINEWING 6. (3) Identify the motor that needs to be replaced and put a marking sticker on the corresponding extension arm so you can identify which motor you are working on. (4) Remove the 4 bolts that secure the motormount. (5) Loosen the centerbolts between the motor mount and extension arm so the wire canmovefreely andeasily. (6) Verify the following: For CCW Motor#l & Motor#3 & Motor#S. For CW Motor#2 & Motor#4 & Motor#6. Then, disconnect the three wire connectors for the oldmotorandremovethe oldmotor. Allbrushless motorwires have 3 wires. (7) Reconnect the new motor's three motor wires with the three ESC wires coming out ofthe extension arms. (8) Remountthe newmotoronthe end ofthe extension armusingthe four bolts with Loctite. (9) Please verify that the three motor wires are**ins~alled** in the right positions by performing a tie-down flight test (refer to Section 5.1) and paying special attention to the motor that was replaced (look for the marking sticker on the extension aluminum arm). Ifyou can'ttell which direction the motor is spinning, you might want to use a piece of paper to touch the motor to determine the spinning direction ofthe motor. (10) If the motor direction is correct, go to the next step. If the motor direction is incorrect, you can change any two wires' connection to reverse the direction of

56

## TurboAce CINEWING 6
the motor. Checkyour connections andmake necessary corrections. Nowtidy up the wires bypushingthembackinto the extension arm. (11) Tighten the center bolt between the motor mount and extension arm. Sometimes the wires inside may get in the way, so please make sure the bolts don't damage the wire insulation. Pulling the 2 wires to the left and 1 wire to the right usually does the trick. Ifnot, you can tug or wiggle the wires to free the wires from the bolts. Ifyou force the bolts into the wires you may short out the ESC or Flight Controller. (12) Ifyou make any changes, always repeat the tie-down flight tests in Section 5.1 until you are satisfiedthat everythingis operatingproperly.


### 7.2 ReplacingESC (ForRepairs Only)
When replacing the CINEWING 6 ESCs, you must follow a specific procedure, otherwise you may risk damage to the ESC wires, whichmay in turn short circuit the ESC andFlightController. Please remember to reapplyLoctite when putting bolts and screws back. (1) Make sure yourbatteryis disconnected from the CINEWING 6. (2) Verify the following: For CCW Motor#1 & Motor#3 & Motor#5. For CW Motor#2 & Motor#4 & Motor#6. Then, disconnect the 3 connectors between the motorwires andESC wires. (3) Release the motormount from the end ofthe extension armbyremoving4 bolts. (4) Remove all thebolts from the extension arm. (5) Identifythe ESC thatyou are replacing andtrace the ESC's input data wires back to the Flight Controller's output port. Disconnect the ESC's black header connector from the Flight Controller. Then, trace the ESC's power supply wires backto the battery connector and disconnect the ESC'sbullet connector from the 1-to-6 Power Adapter. Carefully remove the ESC and its associated wires from the extension arm. Markthe oldESC for future reference. (6) Use thenewESC to replace theposition ofthe oldESC. (7) Threadthe remaining ESC wires through the chassis. When connectingthe black header plug on the Flight Controller's output port, make sure the brown ESC wire is closest to the edge of the Flight Controller unit. You may damage the Flight Controller and the ESC ifthe connector is plugged in wrong. Reconnect thebullet connectorto the 1-to-6power adapter.

57

# Turbo Ace CINEWING 6
(8) Reconnect the motor's three motor wires with the three ESC wires coming out of the extension arms. (9) Please verifY that the three motor wires are installed in the right positions by doing a tie-down flight test (referto Section 5.1) and pay special attention to the motor that was replaced (look for the marking sticker on the extension arm). If you can't tell which direction the motor is spinning, you might want to use a piece of paper to touch the motor to determine the spinning direction of the motor. (10) If the motor direction is correct, go to the next step. If the motor direction is incorrect, you can change any two black wires' connection to reverse the direction ofthe motor. Check your connections and make necessary corrections. Two wires connected incorrectly will cause the motor to spin in the wrong direction. Nowtidyup the wiresbypushingthembackinto the extension arm. (11) Ifyou make any changes, always repeat the tie-down flight test (refer to Section 5.1), until you are satisfiedthateverything is operatingproperly.



### 7.3 ReplacingExtensionArms (For Repairs Only)

When replacing the CINEWING 6 extension arm, you must follow a specific procedure, otherwiseyoumayriskdamage to the motorwires whichmay inturn short circuitthe entire flight controller andthe ESC assembly.
IMPORTANT: Rememberto reapply Loctite whenputting bolts and screwsback. (1) Make sure yourbatteryis disconnectedfrom the CINEWING 6. (2) Putmarkers onthe motorwires (1, 2 & 3) andthe corresponding ESC wires (1, 2 & 3) thatneedto be replaced. (3) Disconnectthe 3 connectors betweenthe motor andESC wires. ( 4) Release the motor from the motormountbyremoving the 4 bolts underneath the motor. (5) Release the motor mount from the end of the extension arm by removing the bolts. (6) Remountthe motoronthe motormountusingthe four bolts with Loctite. (7) Rememberto use Loctite for all bolts. Followthese precautions and complete the next 2 steps.

## TurboAce CINEWING 6 (8) Verify that the three motor wires are installed in the right positions by doing a tie-down flight test listed in Section 5.1 and pay special attention to the motor that was replaced (look for the marking sticker on the extension arm). If you can'ttell which direction the motor is spinning you might want to use a piece of paperto touch the motorto determine the spinning direction ofthe motor. (9) If the motor direction is correct, go to the next step. If the motor direction is incorrect, you can change any two wires' connection to reverse the direction of the motor. Check your connections and make necessary corrections. Two wires connected incorrectly will cause the motor to spin in the wrong direction. Now tidyup the wires bypushingthem backinto the extension arm. (10) Ifyou make any changes, always repeat the tie-down flight test (refer to Section 5.1), until you are satisfiedthat everything is operatingproperly.

# FIXED ID BIND
Setting up a Fixed ID bind between your CINEWING 6 & 

### Devention Transmitter (Please skip this section if you have a Spektrum or Futaba radio)
IMPORTANT: When adjusting the settings ofthe CINEWING 6 (while it is turned on), make sure that the propellers are removed and that the unit is securely tied down beforeproceeding. These safetyprecautions will avoid any accidental motor startup. Clearingyour receiver's memory Startbyplugging in the Walkera bind plug (comes with receiver, ifpurchased) to the "Batt"port onthe receiver, followed byplugging inthe battery for the CINEWING 6. The red light on the receiver should blink rapidly. Wait for the CINEWING 6's connection tune to finish playing, then proceed byunplugging the bind plug (the red light shouldnowblink at a slowerpace), andunplugging thebattery. NOTE: The transmitter does notneedto be on for this step. Settingup the Fixed ID on your transmitter First, go through the steps to bindthe CINEWING 6to yourtransmitter. 1. Turn on the transmitter. 2. Plugthe battery into the CINEWING 6. 3. The CINEWING 6is boundwhen the red light onthereceiverturns solid. From the home screen ofthe transmitter, go into the Main Menu screen and select: Model Menu -7 Fixed ID -7 tum Status to "On"-7 set the ID code to your desired value and hit enter. You will see a little menu saying "ID Match
..." After the menu has disappeared, unplug the CINEWING 6battery, unplug the transmitter, and you're done!
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS tum off the transmitter AFTER unplugging the CINEWING 6. Now your CINEWING 6 will only bind with the transmitter that you have setup the fixed ID bind with. NOTE: If telemetry module is included in the package, make sure to connect the telemetry while you set up the FIXED ID, so the telemetry module will connect to that transmitter.
