      T30/T10 First Flight Setting and Information

      This article will walk a new user through the settings and information to take flight with their T30/T10 for the first time.

      We recommend practicing flying the drone manually for at least 1 hour before automated flight. Do this both empty and full in an open field.

      Setup


      Preflight Checks


      Turning off RTK Positioning

      • Power on controller and drone
      • Select “Execute Tasks”
      • Select “Settings” wheel in top right corner of screen
      • Select “RTK”
      • Turn of “RTK Positioning”

      Manual Takeoff

      •  Ensure drone is facing away from you
        • This will help with orientation
      • Arming the drone
          • Move both left and right sticks down and to the middle of the controller and hold until drone arms (3 second countdown will begin, then propellers begin to spin).
      • DO NOT put the sticks in this position during flight!
          • The drone will disarm and fall from the sky.

      Controlling the Drone (Manual Flight)


      • Takeoff
          • Gently raise left stick and allow drone to pick up from the ground
          • Climb up to about 10ft and allow drone to hover itself
            • Drone will correct for wind and try to maintain itself over the takeoff point
      • Control checks
          • Move drone in all directions to ensure drone responds correctly to inputs made on controller
          • Perform a small climb, descent, move left, move right, yaw (turn) right, yaw (turn) left
      • Landings
          • Gently lower left stick to start a descent
          • Once drone touches down
            • FULLY move and hold stick in down position until drone disarms and blades stop spinning
              • Hold stick down for 3 seconds
      • Return To Home (RTH)
        • During RTH the drone will fly back to the home point and hover automatically. 
        • The screen will ask you to land auto or manual. 
        • We recommend to not push either of these buttons.
        • Instead, tap the left stick down and the drone will go into automatic landing.
        • Push the left stick up and automatic landing will be canceled. 

      Flight Settings Overview


      • Aircraft settings

        • Connection Routing and RTH Speed - Speed that the drone will fly during Return to Home and returning to operation. 
        • Connection Routing and RTH Altitude - Altitude (from Homepoint) that the drone will fly during Return to Home and returning to operation.
      • Spraying Complete - This is what the drone does when the tank is empty.
        • Hover - drone will hover in place, you must initiate RTH or manual flight
        • RTH - Drone will automatically return to home point
      • Continue task if signal is lost - If checked on drone will continue with mission until completed or empties payload if the signal is lost from the remote. 
      • Rc Signal Loss - This is what the drone will do if the signal is lost
        • If the above setting is checked on then this action will be performed after the tank is empty.
      • Flight Route Complete - This is what the drone will do after completing the mission. 
        • Hover - drone will hover in place, you must initiate RTH or manual flight
        • RTH - Drone will automatically return to home point
      • Home Point Location - Used to update home point while drone is flying
      • Front/Rear spotlights - Set on or off as desired
      • Max Altitude - Per FAA regulation you must stay below 400ft, set to 120m or less
      • Max Flight Distance - Per FAA regulation you must maintain line of sight, set as desired. 1 mile = 1609meters

      • Spraying System Settings

      • Spraying System - Set to ON
        • If turned off prior to removing the spray tank and installing the spreader tank you will not be able to conduct spreading operations.
          • Setting will also be unavailable with spreader installed
      • Real Time data - real time information on spray system
      • Clear Trapped Air - Additional option to clear trapped air from system
        • Can also hold down the spray button for 2 sec to initiate
      • Set Spray tank Level - 
      • Empty Tank Warning Threshold - The liquid level at which the drone will perform the “spraying complete” action.
      • Flow Meter Error Alert -

      • Calibrate Flow Meter - used to calibrate flow meter, follow onscreen prompts
      • Nozzle Model - select you nozzle type from drop down
        • To perform pump flow recalibration, do in this order:
          • Select correct nozzles and install on the drone.
          • Perform Flow Meter calibration
          • Perform Pump Flow calibration
      • Restore Flow Meter To factory settings - restores settings to factory
