Control
An ARF-MikroKopter is easy to fly. But it takes practice and time to be able to control the Kopter safely. The pilot must
also be able to fly the Kopter in any situation without aids such as the GPS-System.
The Kopter is controlled by a RC-transmitter. The Throttle, Yaw,
Roll and Nick functions can be controlled by the sticks.
• Throttle
◦ Controls the speed of the motors (up/down)
• Yaw
◦ Turns the Kopter around
• Nick
◦ Flies forward or back
• Roll
◦ Flies left or right
(Example: Mode2)
Ideally the ARF-MikroKopter can stay on position with no wind.
Info: Please leave the trim of the transmitter in middle position (off)
Via the switches, buttons and potentiometer of the transmitter further functions
like e.g. the automatic hold of the actual position (PositionHold), an automatic
back-flight to the start point (ComingHome) or non-directional flying (CareFree)
can be used.
For this purpose the mounted GPS-System and the compass-sensor is used. The
GPS system consists of the MK-GPS and NaviCtrl. The compass sensor is
installed on the NaviCtrl.
The functions are further described in „Functions / Flight modes“.
Before each flight
Check the Kopter always for:
• Damage to the frame, cables, motors, propellers and electronics
• Tightness of the rigger, motors and propellers
• Functions of the motors
• Tightness of all screws (Motors, Rigger etc.)
• Loaded and not damaged batteries (ARF-MikroKopter and transmitter)
The order of switching on / off the ARF-MikroKopter and the transmitter:
Switch on (before the flight):
1. All switches on the transmitter put into the default „OFF“.
2. Switch on the RC-Control (if necessary choose the right model memory).
3. Bring the trim of the control-sticks into the middle position.
4. Connect the ARF-MikroKopter to the battery (LiPo).
Switch off (after the flight):
1. Switch off the motors.
2. Disconnect battery (LiPo) from the ARF-MikroKopter.
3. Switch off the transmitter.
