FC return to the take off point and fly too much do not be in panic it will automatically correct and back to the take off point or you can manually assist to correct the position but do not operate the throttle in a panic In order to avoid this situation it is advised that the player stands back 5 to 10 meters to the take off point Special notes The normal work of GPS module has a great relationship with GPS signal any weather changes are likely to affect the GPS signal intensity thus influent the normal work of the GPS module especially during the flight Due to climate change building block the difference of terrain it is likely to lose the satellite signals and affectthe normal work of the GPS module In addition in the narrow buildings even though with stronger signal it can receive enough satellites to unlock however most of the satellite signal is reflected signal the location accuracy is poor also can cause the flight controller drift around and move in a wide range Therefore you players should consider all kinds of factors on GPS signal influence and keep safety first effectively prevent all sorts of accidents We do not bear any responsibility for various accidents or loss of property during the flight process In addition it had better avoid violence flight with the GPS module especially violent landing or crashing As the dramatic impact may cause damage to GPS module 25 Q amp A About Installation Of Rabbit Flight C

29. played in magnetic box whether it is also turn 90 degrees if not it is the magnetic calibration did not do well you need to calibration again move the frame up and down whether the data of the ultrasonic and the barometer changes the changes of the ultrasonic data should not mutation 14 Q Why is magnitude of voltage in the pctools for Rabbit more times than real voltage values A The Voltage displayed in pctools does not show decimal point For example the voltage displayed in pctools is 415 That is to say the real voltage of battery is 4 15V If you need to calibrate the voltage of battery decimal point is not written 15 Q Why spining quickly in the first flight after the aircraft installed ok A You must check it carefully whether the ESC connected ok or not whether the positive or reverse of paddle is installed ok or not according to the specifications 16 Q Why does the data of barometer fluctuate greatly up and down A Because barometer is affected by wind and airflow you must add sponge in the barometer Density of sponge is not too little and the small holes on barometer can t be stemed by glue or gummed paper the sponge fixed in barometer can decrease disturbing by airflow The precision of barometer is greatly increased 17 Q Why parameter doesn t show after the Rabbit pluged into USB A After the Rabbit pluged int to USB you must do as following steps 1 Run pctools for Rabbit 2 Select the COM port correctly in
