5. Setup

5.1 Propeller Installation

1. Ensure the drone is powered off and the battery is disconnected.
2. Identify the correct rotation direction for each propeller (CW and CCW).
3. Align the propeller with the motor shaft and press down firmly.
4. Secure the propeller with the provided propeller nuts, ensuring they are tightened but not overtightened.

3. Connect the XT60 battery connector to the drone's power port.

5.3 Receiver Binding (ELRS 2.4G / TBS Nano RX)

Refer to your specific receiver's manual for detailed binding instructions. Generally, the process involves:

1. Power on your remote controller and set it to binding mode.
2. Power on the drone. The receiver's LED should indicate it's ready for binding (e.g., flashing rapidly).
3. Initiate the binding process on your remote controller.
4. Once bound, the receiver's LED should turn solid, indicating a successful connection.

5.4 FPV System Setup (O4 Air Unit Pro)

Ensure your FPV goggles are compatible with the O4 Air Unit Pro Transmission Module. Power on your goggles and the drone. The video feed should automatically connect. Adjust channel and frequency settings if necessary via your goggles' menu.

To arm the motors, move both sticks on your remote controller to the bottom-right corner (or as configured in Betaflight). The motors will spin up slowly. To disarm, move both sticks to the bottom-left corner.

6.2 Basic Flight Controls

• Throttle: Controls altitude (left stick up/down).
• Yaw: Rotates the drone left or right (left stick left/right).
• Pitch: Tilts the drone forward or backward (right stick up/down).
• Roll: Tilts the drone left or right (right stick left/right).

6.3 Advanced Flight Modes

The Vapor-D6 O4 Pro supports various flight modes configurable in Betaflight. Common modes include:

• Angle Mode: Self-leveling mode, suitable for stable cruising.
• Acro Mode: Manual mode, offering full control for freestyle and racing.

7. Maintenance

• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for any damage, bends, or cracks. Replace damaged propellers immediately.
• Frame Inspection: Inspect the carbon fiber frame and arms for any signs of stress, cracks, or damage after hard landings or crashes.
• Motor Cleaning: Keep motors free from dirt, dust, and debris. Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean them.
• Screw Tightness: Periodically check all screws for tightness, especially those securing motors and frame components.
