| =====General Information===== | ===== General Information ===== |
| |
| Our BNFs are no toys. Please be aware of injury. Do not plug in the battery when on the bench unless propellers are removed or a smokestopper is used. | The RangeX Pro demands caution to prevent injury. Never connect the battery without removing propellers or using a smokestopper while on the bench. |
| |
| The RangeX Pro features INAV as its flight controller software which allows better GPS features such as reliable RTH and position hold. Although reasonable close, pure acro flying is not as good as it is with Betaflight. For Long Range missions this is a minor drawback and you'll get used to the INAV 'feeling' very soon. | Equipped with INAV as its flight controller software, the RangeX Pro enables reliable GPS features such as Return to Home (RTH) and position hold. Though acro flying isn't as optimal as with Betaflight, for Long Range missions, this is a minor trade-off, and familiarity with INAV's characteristics develops quickly. |
| |
| After the first successful flights, it is recommended to check all screws on the drone and retighten if necessary. Due to vibrations from the motors it is recommended to check the screws after each few flights to ensure permanent reliability of the drone. | It's advisable to inspect and retighten all drone screws after the initial successful flights due to motor-induced vibrations. Regularly checking these screws ensures continual drone reliability. |
| |
| If you have bought your 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 as well as experienced pilots for cinematic flying. | The O3 Air unit produces a lot of heat. Although actively cooled with a small fan, long term hovering or even standing can induce automatic power off due to heat limits of the O3 Air unit. Air stream during forward flight keeps the unit cool enough for reliable operation. |
| |
| =====Open and close the canopy===== | Purchasing the BNFs with the InstantFly Kit includes the pre-mentioned procedures. However, going through these processes offers a comprehensive understanding and allows optional adjustments for personalized drone preferences. Our preset settings cater to beginners and experienced pilots, facilitating cinematic flying. |
| |
| Best to follow this procedure in case you need to open the canopy: | ===== Open and Close the Canopy ===== |
| |
| - remove 4 horizontal screws, 2 on each side | ==== Opening Procedure ==== |
| - remove 1 vertical screw in the back | |
| - gently lift the canopy upwards and make sure the antenna is fed through the hole in the canopy | * Remove 4 horizontal screws (2 on each side). |
| - remove the small antenna "plug" from the SMA connector | * Remove 1 vertical screw from the back. |
| | * Gently lift the canopy upwards, ensuring the antenna passes through the hole. |
| | * Disconnect the small antenna "plug" from the SMA connector. |

| |
| | ==== Closing Procedure ==== |
| |
| and the following procedure in case you need to close it again: | * Carefully place the canopy on the drone, ensuring the antenna passes through the hole. |
| | * Check fitting on all sides. Ensure the motor and immortal T antenna wire snugly fit into the slots. |
| | * Add 1 vertical screw to the back. |
| - gently put the canopy on the drone and make sure the antenna is fed through the hole. | * Add 4 horizontal screws (2 on each side). |
| - check fitting on all sides. Double-check the motor and immortal T antenna wire to make sure they are fittet nicely into the slots. | * Insert the small antenna "plug" into the SMA connector. |
| - add 1 vertical screw in the back | |
| - add 4 horizontal screws, 2 on each side | |
| - push in the small antenna "plug" for the SMA connector | |

| =====Binding your Remote Controller===== | |
| |
| **TBS Crossfire** | ===== Binding your Remote Controller ===== |
| |
| Your RangeX Pro receiver comes in bind mode already, so you dont actually have to find the button on your drone. In either case, the full procedure is the following: | The RangeX Pro receiver arrives in bind mode. The button on the RX does not need to be pressed for initial binding, but here is the full procedure nevertheless: |
| |
| - Turn on your transmitter | * Power on your transmitter. |
| - Enter Bind mode 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. | * Power up the drone's receiver. USB power might suffice, or connect the battery (without propellers). |
| - 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. | * Press the bind button on the Crossfire receiver within 20s of powering the RX. |
| - Confirm bind procedure on your TX. | * Confirm the 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. | Adjust channel mapping in the receiver tab based on your transmitter. Typically, changing from TAER to AETR (or vice versa) aligns channels with stick axis. |

| For all models that support GPS rescue: The GPS rescue should not be activated if you are within 100m of the starting point. If the drone is within 100m radius of the starting point and GPS rescue is activated, the drone will drop form the sky. Only activate GPS Rescue manually if the drone is more than 100m away from its starting point. | For all models that support GPS rescue: The GPS rescue should not be activated if you are within 100m of the starting point.
