• Check that all screws are tightened appropriately.

4.2 Propeller Installation

The drone comes with two sets of 5-inch 3-blade propellers. Ensure correct orientation for proper flight.

1. Identify the two types of propellers: Clockwise (CW) and Counter-Clockwise (CCW). They are typically marked or identifiable by the leading edge of the blade.
2. Install CW propellers on motors that spin clockwise and CCW propellers on motors that spin counter-clockwise. Refer to the motor rotation diagram, usually found in Betaflight configuration.
3. Securely fasten each propeller to its respective motor using the provided nuts. Do not overtighten.

4.3 Battery Connection

The Nazgul5 V2 HD requires a 6S LiPo battery (1300mAh or 1550mAh recommended, not included).

1. Place the battery on the top plate of the drone.
2. Secure the battery firmly using the provided battery straps. Ensure the battery cannot shift during flight.
3. Connect the battery's XT60 connector to the drone's XT60 power lead. The drone will power on and emit a series of beeps.

4.4 Binding with Remote Controller (TBS Crossfire)

Your drone is equipped with a TBS Crossfire Nano RX. You will need a TBS-compatible remote controller.

1. Power on your remote controller and navigate to the Crossfire module settings.
2. Select the 'Bind' option on your remote controller.
3. Power on the drone. The LED on the TBS Crossfire Nano RX will flash green.
4. Press the bind button on the TBS Crossfire Nano RX (usually a small button on the receiver itself).
5. The LED on the receiver should turn solid green, indicating a successful bind.
6. Verify stick inputs in Betaflight Configurator (Receiver tab) to confirm proper communication.

4.5 Binding with FPV Goggles (DJI FPV System)

The drone features a Caddx Polar Vista Digital HD System, compatible with DJI FPV Goggles (V1 or V2).

1. Power on your DJI FPV Goggles.
2. Power on the drone.
3. Press the bind button on the Caddx Polar Vista unit (a small button next to the USB-C port). The LED will start flashing red.
4. Press the bind button on your DJI FPV Goggles. The goggles will emit a continuous beeping sound.
5. Once bound, the LED on the Caddx Polar Vista will turn solid green, and you will see the video feed in your goggles.

5. Operating Instructions

Safe and responsible operation is crucial for an enjoyable FPV experience.

5.1 Pre-Flight Checklist

• Battery: Ensure drone and goggle batteries are fully charged.
• Propellers: Check for damage and secure attachment.
• Antennas: Verify FPV antenna and receiver antennas are properly connected and oriented.
• Environment: Confirm clear flying area, away from people, animals, and obstacles. Check weather conditions.
• Radio Link: Power on remote controller and goggles, then the drone. Confirm successful binding and video feed.
• Arming Switch: Test arming switch functionality with propellers off.

5.2 First Flight Considerations

• Start with gentle throttle inputs and movements.
• Maintain a safe distance from yourself and others.
• Practice hovering and basic maneuvers before attempting advanced tricks.
• Monitor battery voltage in your FPV display (OSD) and land before it drops too low.

5.3 Flight Controls (General FPV)

FPV drones typically use Mode 2 controls (left stick for throttle/yaw, right stick for pitch/roll). Familiarize yourself with these controls:

• Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls altitude.
• Yaw (Left Stick Left/Right): Rotates the drone horizontally.
• Pitch (Right Stick Up/Down): Tilts the drone forward/backward.
• Roll (Right Stick Left/Right): Tilts the drone left/right.
• Arming Switch: Activates/deactivates motors. Always disarm before approaching the drone.

5.4 Post-Flight Procedures

• Disarm the drone immediately after landing.
• Disconnect the battery from the drone.
• Inspect the drone for any damage, especially propellers and frame components.
• Allow motors to cool before storing.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your drone.

6.1 Cleaning

• After each flight, especially in dusty or dirty conditions, gently clean the frame and components.
• Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris from motors and electronics.
• Avoid using liquids directly on electronic components.

6.2 Propeller Replacement

Damaged propellers can significantly affect flight performance and safety. Replace them immediately if you notice any cracks, bends, or chips.

1. Unscrew the damaged propeller from the motor.
2. Ensure the motor shaft is clean and undamaged.
3. Install a new propeller, ensuring correct CW/CCW orientation.
4. Secure with the propeller nut, but do not overtighten.

6.3 Firmware Updates

Periodically check the iFlight website or Betaflight resources for firmware updates for the flight controller (SucceX-E F7) and Caddx Polar Vista. Firmware updates can improve performance, add features, or fix bugs. Follow official instructions carefully when performing updates.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

• Drone does not arm:
  • Check if the remote controller is bound and receiving signals in Betaflight Configurator.
  • Ensure the drone is level; some flight controllers prevent arming if not level.
  • Verify battery voltage is within safe operating limits.
  • Check for any error messages in the OSD or Betaflight Configurator.
• No video feed in FPV goggles:
  • Confirm Caddx Polar Vista is powered on and bound to DJI FPV Goggles.
  • Check antenna connections on both the drone and goggles.
  • Ensure the correct channel/frequency is selected in the goggles.
• Unstable flight or vibrations:
  • Inspect propellers for damage or imbalance. Replace if necessary.
  • Check for loose motor screws or damaged motor bearings.
  • Verify frame integrity; look for cracks or loose components.
• Short flight time:
  • Ensure battery is fully charged and healthy.
  • Check for excessive throttle usage or aggressive flying style.
  • Verify propeller efficiency; damaged props can reduce flight time.
