• Petrel 75 Whoop V2 Drone (TBS Nano variant)
• Spare Propellers (if included)
• User Manual (this document)
• Note: Battery and remote controller are sold separately.

2.2 Battery Installation and Charging

The drone requires a 1S LiPo battery with a capacity of 450mAh to 550mAh. Ensure the battery is fully charged using a compatible LiPo charger before first use. Always follow the battery manufacturer's charging instructions and safety guidelines.

1. Connect the battery to the drone's power connector.
2. Ensure the battery is securely seated in the designated battery tray or strap.

2.3 Binding with Remote Controller (TBS Nano)

This variant of the Petrel 75 Whoop V2 is equipped with a TBS Nano receiver. To establish communication with your TBS Crossfire compatible remote controller, follow these steps:

1. Power on your remote controller and navigate to the TBS Crossfire menu.
2. Select "Bind" on your remote controller.
3. Connect the drone's battery. The receiver's LED should flash rapidly, indicating it is in binding mode.
4. Once bound, the receiver's LED will turn solid green.
5. If binding fails, ensure your remote controller's Crossfire module firmware is up to date and repeat the process.

For detailed instructions on your specific TBS Crossfire module, refer to its respective user manual.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Pre-Flight Checks

• Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely connected.
• Inspect propellers for any damage (cracks, bends). Replace if necessary.
• Verify that the drone's frame and components are intact.
• Confirm that your remote controller is powered on and successfully bound to the drone.
• Check your FPV goggles/monitor for a clear video feed.

3.2 First Flight

1. Place the drone on a flat, level surface in a clear indoor area.
2. Arm the motors using the designated switch or stick command on your remote controller (typically throttle down and yaw right). The motors will spin slowly.
3. Gently increase the throttle to lift off.
4. Practice basic maneuvers: hovering, forward/backward, left/right, and yaw rotation.
5. To disarm, use the designated switch or stick command (typically throttle down and yaw left).

3.3 Safety Guidelines

• Always fly in a safe environment, away from people, pets, and obstacles.
• Do not fly near water or in wet conditions.
• Keep fingers and loose clothing away from spinning propellers.
• Monitor battery voltage during flight and land immediately if voltage drops too low.
• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• In case of a crash, disarm the motors immediately.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Propeller Care

Regularly inspect propellers for damage. Even minor cracks or bends can affect flight performance and efficiency. Replace damaged propellers promptly. To replace, gently pull off the old propeller and push on the new one, ensuring it is fully seated.

4.2 Cleaning

Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust, dirt, or debris from the motors, flight controller, and camera. Avoid using liquids directly on electronic components.

4.3 Battery Storage

Store LiPo batteries at a storage voltage (typically 3.8V per cell) in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and flammable materials. Do not store fully charged or fully discharged batteries for extended periods.

5. Troubleshooting

• Drone does not arm:
  • Ensure the remote controller is powered on and bound.
  • Check battery connection and voltage.
  • Verify arming switch/stick command is correctly configured and executed.
  • Inspect for any error messages in your FPV feed or flight controller software (e.g., Betaflight OSD).
• Unstable flight/Drifting:
  • Check for damaged or bent propellers.
  • Ensure motors are clean and free of debris.
  • Verify flight controller mounting is secure.
  • Recalibrate accelerometer if necessary (via flight controller software).
• No video feed:
  • Ensure FPV goggles/monitor are powered on and on the correct frequency/channel.
  • Check camera and video transmitter connections.
  • Verify video transmitter power output settings.
• Short flight time:
  • Battery may be old or damaged; consider replacement.
  • Ensure battery is fully charged.
  • Check for excessive throttle usage or inefficient flying style.

For advanced troubleshooting or firmware updates, refer to online resources for the SPECTER 10A AIO flight controller and Betaflight software.
