6. Initial Setup
6.1 Battery Charging
Use the provided special USB balance charger to charge the 3S 11.1V 500mAh 30C Lipo battery. Charging duration is approximately 90 minutes. Ensure the battery is fully charged before each flight.
6.2 Transmitter Binding
The E150 is compatible with FUTABA S-FHSS communication protocol and can bind with all FUTABA S-FHSS Transmitters. It also supports FUTABA satellite receivers with SBUS (not included). For DSM or JR (DSM2 DSMX) satellite receivers, use the DSM interface. Refer to the detailed user manual for specific binding procedures and line sequence directions for PPM or SBUS satellite receivers.

7. Operating Modes
The Eachine E150 features dual flight modes: 3D and 6G, catering to both beginners and experienced pilots.
7.1 3D Mode
Thanks to the 3-axis gyroscope, this mode offers responsive control without delay in Lock Mode. It allows for aggressive stunts such as inverted flight, hurricane maneuvers, vertical pendulum, side pendulum, and spinning pendulum with precise controller input.
7.2 6G Mode
The 6-axis gyroscope self-stabilization mode is ideal for beginners. When the joystick is released, the aircraft will automatically resume stable flight, making it significantly easier to operate and learn.
8. Flying Tips
- Choose the Right Environment: The 2.4G transmitter minimizes interference, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. For outdoor flights, a windless environment is ideal.
- Start in 6G Mode: If you are a beginner, always start flying in 6G mode to get accustomed to the controls and stability.
- Gradual Progression: Practice basic maneuvers in 6G mode before attempting advanced stunts in 3D mode.
- Pre-Flight Check: Always inspect the helicopter for any damage, loose parts, or obstructions before each flight. Ensure blades are securely attached.
- Battery Management: Monitor battery levels during flight. Land the helicopter when the battery is low to prevent unexpected crashes and prolong battery life.
9. Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all parts for wear and tear, especially the main and tail blades, rotor head, and landing gear.
- Cleaning: Keep the helicopter clean from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Battery Care: Do not overcharge or over-discharge the Lipo battery. Disconnect the battery from the helicopter when not in use. Store batteries at room temperature.
- Modular Design: The E150 features a modular design, allowing for cost-effective replacement of damaged parts. Refer to the parts list and diagrams for identification.
- Storage: Store the helicopter and transmitter in a safe, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
10. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Helicopter does not respond to transmitter | Not bound, low battery (helicopter or transmitter), power switch off | Ensure both are powered on. Re-bind the transmitter and helicopter. Charge batteries. |
| Helicopter flies erratically or unstable | Damaged blades, incorrect trim settings, strong wind, gyroscope calibration issue | Check and replace damaged blades. Adjust trim settings. Fly in calm conditions. Recalibrate gyroscope (refer to full manual). |
| Short flight time | Battery not fully charged, aging battery, aggressive flying style | Ensure full charge. Consider replacing old batteries. Adjust flying style for longer duration. |
| Tail does not hold position (yaw drift) | Tail motor issue, tail blade damage, gyroscope issue | Check tail motor and blade. Ensure no obstructions. Recalibrate gyroscope. |
| Motor not spinning | Battery disconnected, motor damaged, ESC issue | Check battery connection. Inspect motor for damage. Consult support if motor or ESC is suspected. |
