1. Reset DTR High gt 3V ISP GRTS High v Flying with competitors If a few simple rules are followed quad racing can be a lot of fun 1 NEVER land near another pilot This is an absolutely golden rule Landing your quad near another pilot especially one who is at a significant distance is like screaming in the ear of someone listening to a whisper at the other side of a room 2 NEVER walk back to the pilot area with a powered up quad This is similar to 1 and is the most common cause of issues at the race track When retrieving a model unplug the battery before walking back to the pilot area 3 POSITION the launch and landing zone as far from the pilot area as possible his ensures that collisions at race start don t affect other pilots A distance of at least 10 meters is recommended more than this is a bonus 4 ALWAY Swarn in air pilots before powering up a quad Warn pilots and be ready to power down IMMEDIATELY if a pilot is affected and wait until he lands Remember that it only takes a second or two when flying race quads at speed to crash and damage the quad and whatever whoever it hits Looking after your CMR280 Snow and Water Even though most of the PCBs in the CMR280 are coated with a conformal coating which does offer some protection from water it is not recommended to get the CMR280 wet even if that water comes in the form of snow If your CMR280 does get wet immediately remove power and place it i2. gu id redpawz Red Pawz CMR280 User Manual The Red Pawz CMR280 comes configured for FPV Racing Configuration as follows 1 Afully built and tested CMR280 frame made from CNC cut 3K carbon fiber 2 Modular and removable 32 BIT MultiWii flight control pre programmed 3 4 x Red Pawz 2204 2300kv motor 4 8 x 6030 nylon fiberglass propeller 4 x CW 4 x CCW all black 9 4 x Red Pawz 12A ESCs with Simonk firmware 6 High integrated PCBA 7 Modular and removable 5 8G video transmitter and bulit in Mini OSD 8 Dual antenna 5 8G tail antenna and custom planel antenna 9 4 x shock absorber rubber balls 10 600TVL FPV camera Optional spare parts 1 3D FPV Goggles battery 2 Lipo Gens ace 2200mah 3S 25C Lipo pack 3 RC TX RX The RTF frame does not come with a RC transmitter or RX Any 2 4 Transmitter RX or even LRS will work 4 HD Camera Mobius action camera 1080P HD The Table Of Content SC 5 Tne Description or CMRZ290 seserian RA NEO DDOE YC 6 CNC ed 3K Carbon Fiber Frame Ne 6 Highly integrated independent PCB AN 7 HITA SOMO ur RR RTH iti ai oa t o CEFR i ti iul 7 R C Transmitter Control Modes 4 7 FION MOOG S test oo SRA ORO A oa lit iei 7 Multiwii Configurator Connectiom eee 8 TZA SIMON E O sa IE la nai ai al natal aiurita il 8 ie 8 RE 8 HD Camera GoPro MobiuSs cnica 9 Dual Antennas cece cccccccccccccccceesesseesssssssnsceeeeeeeecccceceeeseeeeeeesssnssaeeeeseecececeeeeeseeeeees
3. do throttle calibration for new multicopter ESCs However in some special cases you still need to do it Remove your props and disconnect the battery Push your radio throttle to maximum connect the flight battery wait for the 3 beeps di da di wait for 1s you will hear a short beep di Then immediately lower the throttle to minimum You will then hear another unigue 2 beeps di di indicating you are setting the low value If you hear a long beep it means the low throttle set Disconnect the battery throttle calibration is done If you hear a short beep it means low throttle set failed You need to do the calibration again If still no success pls contact us 9 SimonK ESC breakdown Simonk firmware ESC has big starting up torque if your flight controller algorithm is not reasonable or motor quality is not high too much throttle increment will cause burst current too high to burn ESC We all do not want it happen To avoid it we give you the following suggestions 1 Choose low heating ESCs for your Multicopter 2 Choose ESCs continuous current higher than maximum current of the motor 3 Ensure good heat radiation of the ESC If your ESC damaged during flight please contact us we will solve the problem for you as soon as possible Camera FPV Camera The default FPV camera is 620TVL low lux CCD Camera Sensor Chip 1 3 inch HD Color CMOS Video Standards PAL Effective Pixels PAL 720 H 576 V Definition 60
