Bind and Fly (BNF) Manual
General Information
Our BNFs are no toys. Please be aware of injury especially with the bigger models. Do not plug in the battery when on the bench unless propellers are removed or a smokestopper is used.
After the first successful flights, it is recommended to check all screws on the drone and retighten if necessary. Due to vibrations on the drone, this service should be repeated after each few flights to ensure permanent functioning of the FPV drone.
If you have bought one of our BNFs together with the InstantFly Kit, all the procedures mentioned below have been taken care of already. It is however a good idea to read through the process for a general understanding of procedures and optional changes to tailor the drone to your personal preferences! Our settings will provide a good start for beginners and experienced pilots for cinematic flying.
Binding your Remote Controller
TBS Crossfire
- Turn on your transmitter
- Enter Bind mode on your transmitter
- Power up the receiver on the drone. Depending on the model USB power might suffice, otherwise you need to connect the Battery. Only do this with propellers removed.
- Press the bind button on the Crossfire receiver (check picture below for button location). This needs to be done within 20s after powering the RX.
- Confirm bind procedure on your TX.
Depending on the transmitter used, the channel mapping needs to be adapted. This setting can be found in the receiver tab (check picture below). Changing from TAER to AETR or vice versa is usually enough. Make sure the channels on the left side align with your stick axis.
Change Flight Modes
If you want to change the function of the buttons on your remote controller you need to assign AUX channels to each flight mode. This can be done within Betaflight.
- Connect the drone via USB port of the flight controller to your computer
- launch Betaflight configurator
- Connect to the correspondant port
- Navigate to “Modes” tab
- Choose AUTO for the mode in question and press the corresponding button on your TX
- Dont forget to hit save!
Change Rates
Rates affect the flight feel and determine the maximum speed of rotation around each axis for your drone. Our presets allow smooth and cinematic flight, but it is a good idea to experiment with the rates on order to find your personal settings.
- Connect the drone via USB port of the flight controller to your computer
- launch Betaflight configurator
- Connect to the correspondant port
- Navigate to “PID” tab
- Swap to “Rateprofile settings” tab
- Adapt the parameters to your needs
- Dont forget to hit save!
