Troubleshooting - REVELL Control NANOQUAD Handbuch

english
1 START pREpARATION
The thrust controller (the left controller on the remote control) must point down before being
switched on (1A). Then set the ON/OFF switch of the remote control to the „ON" position; the
Power LED will flash red (1B). The LEDs begin to blink when the Quadrocopter is switched on.
Place the helicopter on the ground so that the tail points towards the pilot (1C). The Quadrocopter
needs a few seconds to initialise the gyro and to establish the connection to the remote control.
As soon as the LEDs on the Quadrocopter light up red permanently, the connection to the remote
control has been established.
Attention! Always place the Quadrocopter on an even horizontal surface – the control electronics
aligns its neutral position to the subsurface!
2 FlIGHT CONTROl
note: Only minimal corrections of the controls are necessary for a smooth flying behaviour of
the Quadrocopter! The direction information applies if the Quadrocopter is viewed from behind. If
the Quadrocopter is flying towards the pilot, it must be moved in the opposite direction.
2A
In order to start or gain altitude, carefully move the left hand joystick forward.
Move the left hand joystick back for landing or to fly lower.
2B
To fly forward, carefully move the right hand joystick control forward.
To fly backward, pull the right joystick back carefully.
2C
Curve left by carefully moving the right hand joystick control to the left.
Curve right by carefully moving the right hand joystick control to the right.
2D
Turn the Quadrocopter around to the left by moving the left joystick to the left.
Turn the Quadrocopter around to the right by moving the left joystick to the right.
BAttery level:
• If the LED „eyes" blink, the battery is depleted. Commence with landing immediately in order
to avoid crashing!
3 TRIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONTROl
The correct trim is a basic requirement for fault-free flying behaviour of the Quadrocopter. Its
adjustment is simple, but it requires some patience and a feel for it. Please observe the following
instructions precisely: Carefully move the thrust control up and raise the Quadrocopter approxi-
mately 0.5 to 1 metre in altitude.
3A If the Quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly to the left or right ...
Press the roll trim incrementally in the opposite direction.
3B If the Quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly forwards or backwards ...
Press the nick trim down incrementally. If the helicopter moves backwards, press the nick trim up
incrementally.
If the Quadrocopter moves by itself slowly or quickly around its own axis ...
land and leave the left hand joystick in the null position for 3 sec. - the trim adjustment takes
place automatically.
4 CAlIBRATION
If the Quadrocopter drifts or can only be trimmed with difficulty while flying (yawing), try to
calibrate the Quadrocopter. Switch on the remote control and Quadrocopter for this purpose
(see instructions) and place the model on a level surface.
The slider (the left-hand stick on the remote control) must point downwards. Now move the slider
down as far as it will go and towards the right-hand corner and hold it there. Now quickly move
the control for pitching and rolling (the right-hand stick on the remote control) five to six times to
the left and right. The LEDs on the Quadrocopter will briefly flash. Then the calibration is finished.
5 CHANGING THE pROpEllERS
If the Quadrocopter's rotor blades are damaged and must be replaced, proceed as follows:
• Before fitting the propellers, make sure they are not mixed up. The Quadrocopter has
4 different propellers, which differ in colour and markings on the bottom:
• Front right: White, marking A
• Front left: White, marking B
• Carefully pull the defective propeller off the shaft.
• Carefully fit the new propeller onto the shaft again.

TROUBlESHOOTING

Problem: the propellers do not move.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The battery is too weak or depleted.
remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Charge the battery.
Problem: the Quadrocopter stops and descends during flight for no apparent reason.
Cause: • The battery is too weak.
remedy: • Charge the battery.
Problem: It isn't possible to control the Quadrocopter using the remote control.
Cause: • The ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position.
• The batteries were not inserted correctly.
• The batteries do not have enough power.
remedy: • Set the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
• Check whether the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Insert new batteries.
Problem: the Quadrocopter only turns on its vertical axis or rolls over when started
or does not lift off.
Cause: • Incorrect arrangement of propellers.
remedy: • Install the propellers as outlined in the manual.
