S50/S51/S60/S71/S70/OM51S/OM60S/OR60S/OR71S/S40 and other series of cameras can be mounted in Q45. 2. G3 cameras can be mounted in Q44; 2.4.1 Install the Connector and Camera Cage: (1) Install the cage seat onto the quadcopter and lock the screws, as shown in Fig. 10 (a). (2) Install the camera frame onto the cage seat and lock the screws, as shown in Fig. 10 (b). Figure10(a) Figure10(b) Figure10 2.4.
aee.com 3.2 Assembling Propellers (As shown below) Prepare two propellers with gray nuts and two with black nuts. Attach propellers with gray nuts to motor shafts without "P" marks, and attach propellers with black nuts to motor shafts with "P" marks. Tighten propellers as per the appropriate locking direction. Figure12 (1) Propellers are designed to self-tighten during flight; therefore do not tighten them excessively. Do not use glue on the threads.

aee.com 4.3 Powering on the Transmitter (1) Load four AA batteries into the battery compartment. Pay attention to positive and negative directions. (2) Set S1 and S2 switches to the upper-most position and place both joysticks at the mid-point. (3) Toggle power switch to ON position, to switch on the Transmitter. (4) The power indicator remains ON in red color after the Transmitter is powered on. ● Ensure transmitter' batteries have sufficient charge before each use.
aee.com Vertical movements on the right joystick, controls the quadcopter’s forward & backward pitch. Push up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The quadcopter will keep level and straight if the joystick is centered. Push the joystick further to increase pitch angle and faster flight velocity. Horizontal movements on the right joystick control left and right pitch. Push left to fly left and right to fly right.
aee.com Pre-flight Check: (1) Ensure Transmitter, Quadcopter are fully charged. (2) Ensure propellers are correctly assembled. (3) Ensure the Quadcopter, Transmitter and other equipment are working properly after powering on. (4) Check if motors start properly after the quadcopter is switched on. At this time, disassembling propellers is recommended for safety. 1 Compass Calibration Compass calibration is required before first time use otherwise the system may not work properly, affecting flight safety.
aee.com 2.2 Stopping the Motors There are two ways to stop the motors. Method One (Figure 18): After the quadcopter lands, toggle the throttle joystick to the lowest position and then perform CSC, the motors will immediately stop. Release both joysticks after the motors stop. Method 2 (Figure 19): After the quadcopter lands, toggle the left joystick to the lowest position and hold for 3 seconds to stop the motor.
aee.com ● To ensure the Quadcopter successfully flies back to the Home Point when it is in Failsafe mode, please take-off only after the Quadcopter successfully scans the GPS signal. ● The Quadcopter cannot automatically avoid obstacles in its path when it is flying in Failsafe mode. 4.3 How to regain control during Failsafe Procedures When the Quadcopter is out of control, toggle the S4 switch on the transmitter several times to switch flight mode.
aee.com 3 Common Troubleshooting 3.1 Solution for transmitter joysticks center (neutral) position errors When there is a big error in neutral position of transmitter joysticks, the motors cannot start when performing CSC. Errors in Transmitter joysticks neutral position usually occur in two cases: 1. When quadcopter is ON and the joystick (except throttle) is not in neutral position-Solution: Move all Transmitter joysticks to neutral position, and re-start the quadcopter, to re-record the neutral position.
