• Familiarize yourself with the control sticks and buttons.

4. FPV Goggles Setup

• Power on the FPV Goggles.
• Adjust the head strap for a comfortable fit.
• Scan for the drone's video feed. Ensure a clear and stable video signal before flight.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-Flight Checks

• Ensure all batteries (drone, remote, goggles) are fully charged.
• Check propellers for damage and ensure they are securely attached.
• Verify that the flight area is clear of obstacles, people, and animals.
• Confirm a strong video signal in the FPV goggles.

2. Arming the Drone

To arm the drone (start the motors), typically move both control sticks to the bottom-outer corners simultaneously. Refer to the remote controller's specific instructions for exact arming procedures.

3. Takeoff and Flight

• Gently increase the throttle (left stick up) to lift off.
• Use the right stick to control pitch (forward/backward) and roll (left/right).
• Use the left stick to control yaw (rotation) and throttle (altitude).
• Practice hovering and gentle maneuvers in a safe, open space before attempting advanced flights.

4. Landing

Slowly decrease the throttle until the drone gently lands. Once on the ground, disarm the motors immediately by moving both control sticks to the bottom-inner corners (or as per your remote's specific disarming procedure).

5. Video Recording

The TinyGO 4K drone is capable of 4K video capture. Consult the drone's specific documentation or the GEPRC website for instructions on how to initiate and stop video recording, and how to access recorded footage. Ensure a compatible microSD card (not included) is inserted into the drone's camera slot.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your TinyGO drone.

• Propeller Inspection: After every crash or hard landing, inspect propellers for bends, cracks, or chips. Replace damaged propellers immediately.
• Motor Cleaning: Keep motors free from dirt, dust, and debris. Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean.
• Frame Inspection: Check the drone frame for any cracks or damage. Minor cracks can sometimes be repaired with specialized adhesives, but severe damage may require part replacement.
• Battery Care: Store LiPo batteries at storage voltage (around 3.8V per cell) if not used for extended periods. Do not leave batteries fully charged or fully discharged for long durations.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the GEPRC official website for firmware updates for the drone, remote, and goggles. Keeping firmware updated can improve performance and add new features.
