# Procedures to fly the multicopter with NAZA equipped

Futaba 7C

Warning and disclaimer : You must carefully read the NAZA manual, our table function and these procedures at least 3 times before attempting any flight. We will not be liable for any crash, damage or loss due to the lack of user’s basic knowledge of the machine.

1) Bring everything to the flying field. 2) Turn on transmitter 3) Plug in the battery 4) Make sure everything switch is in position 1 (away from you body or down, if horizontal) 5) Calibrate the GPS compass (see NAZA manual, download from DJI website). 6) Unplug the battery 7) Bring the heli to the flying pad 8) Plug the battery again 9) Wait for the series of GREEN flashes (30secs-2 min) 10) G in position 2 (atti) or 3 (gps mode) 11) CSC to arm motors (see NAZA manual) 12) throttle up to fly 13) G in position 3 14) If red-red-red-double green: do not release stick, keep controlling the heli 15) If red-red-double green: bring the heli to the right height you want, the left stick to middle (50%). Make sure double green now become single green: good to try releasing the right stick. If no position hold: keep controlling the heli and do not release sticks ! 16) The best if only double green (no red): bring the heli to the right height, then left stick to middle to keep the height: make sure now single green. Good to release all sticks and enjoy the heli holding it position.

Check flash codes: see NAZA manual

Feel comfortable with it? Now step 17 17) try the fail-safe function: a) Make sure no red, but only green (G in posi 3). b) Make sure the field is open without objects (poles, trees...) c) Bring the heli to some spot far away and make it hold position (step 16) d) Hold F in posi 2 for at least three seconds e) Check if only blue flash (no green, no or one red). What will happen? It will shoot up to 20 meters. Then will fly home, stay hover for about 5-10 seconds, then will start descending to land. You don't need to control it, just watch. It will land. Make sure the home spot on the ground is clear.

f) F in posi 1 again AND throttle 0%. g) G back briefly to Posi 2 and back to Posi 3 to cancel fail-safe and control the heli again.

Then you can fly it again or take it home.Warning 1!: Fail-safe works ONLY when enough satellites are picked up by the GPS compass (no red flash,

or just one red flash). Do not use or rely on fail-safe when not enough GPS satellites are picked up (two reds or three reds). Must use ATTI or Manual mode when fail-safe is not working!

Warning 2! If you experience that the multicopter appears NOT to follow your command, you must switch to ATTI or Manual mode to regain total control of the copter.

Warning 3! Because of the limitation of the Futaba 7C transmitter, if signal is lost or TX is off, the only fail-safe function available is: throttle is set to 50% and the multicopter will stay hovering at the last point before signal is lost. The multicopter will stay there to wait for Signal to be established again. It will not go home or land. This is a limitation of Futaba 7C, not of NAZA. If user wants it to return home and autoland, use switch F described above, and do NOT turn off

the transmitter.
