Getting Started - XciteRC Runner 250 Bedienungsanleitung

Getting started

rectly, then move the throttle lever to center position. The model remains in its position and automatically
performs correcting maneuvers. Regard: Depending on wind speed the model may need more or less room
for corrections. Only use this function if enough space is available – don't fly too close to obstacles like trees
EN
or exterior walls – danger of collision!
Regard: You can overcome this position by hand through strong throttle inputs.
If the mode is active, the blue LED of the transmitter is on, furthermore an acoustic beep signal is to be heard.
Coming Home: Adjust the model's nose towards the starting point and the switches into correct position to
activate the mode. If the model flies higher than 15 meters it will directly fly to the starting point at the current
height. If it flies lower, it will ascend to a 15 m height first for reasons of security, then fly back. Arrived over
the starting position (resp. the position in which the motors were unlocked) the model will pause at this height
a few seconds and slowly begins to descend.
Regard: Bring the model to a stable hovering and the nose in the direction of the starting position, before
you activate the mode. Once landed the motors will be automatically locked (see paragraph Operation). To
start again, set switch SWA to 0 and unlock motors.
WARNING: If the battery warning is active (Quadrocopter pipes LED's blink), try to land as quickly as
possible and don't try to bring back the model via the Coming-Home function – danger of falling!
If the mode is active, the green LED of the transmitter is on, furthermore an acoustic beep signal is to be
heard.
Flight Direction Lock: This mode saves the current „forward direction". This means whatever direction
the model's nose is pointing to, after the activation the edge which showed forward during flight is front. For
activation make sure the switches are in correct position.
Regard: This mode is in need of getting used to for beginners, therefore more suited for experienced model
pilots. The Coming Home mode also works with activated Flight Direction Lock.
Altitude Hold: Let the model fly to the favoured height in a stable position and adjust the switches to the
correct position. Then move the throttle lever to center position. This height is now automatically kept. The
rest of the control functions remain as usual. Regard: Depending on wind speed the model may need more
or less room for corrections. Only use this function if enough height is available – so don't activate too close
to the ground – danger of falling!
Regard: You can overcome this position by hand through strong throttle inputs.
If the mode is active, the green LED of the transmitter is on, furthermore an acoustic beep signal is to be
heard.
Failsafe Coming Home: If no transmitter signal can be received (z.B. model out of reach, obstacles or
empty transmitter battery), the Failsafe Coming Home is automatically activated. The model returns to the
starting position (resp. the position in which the motors were unlocked).
If you want to cancel the Failsafe Coming Home (for example the model is within sight again and therefore
controllable), bring the switches each to position:
SWA on position 0: to 1 and back again.
SWA on 1 or 2: to 0 and then 1 and again 0
WARNING: if the GPS supported modes (position hold, altitude hold and Coming Home resp. Failsafe
Coming Home) dis not react during the flight, the model does not receive a sufficient GPS signal and can
not determine its position. Go in this case immediately switch to manual mode to recover the flight control
– danger of falling!
Getting started
Before you begin please check:
• WARNING: Only start with a sufficiently full transmitter batteries (rechargeable batteries) and fully
charged drive battery – crash hazard!
