5. Opsætning

5.1 Batteriinstallation

Insert the LAVA 2S 450mAh 75C battery into the designated battery slot. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent movement during flight. The battery slot is designed to accommodate various battery sizes, allowing for DIY fixing methods.

5.2 VTX (Video Transmitter) Installation

The Pavo Pico supports the O3 HD Digital VTX (not included). Utilize the provided O3 HD Digital VTX Mounting Bracket and VTX Bracket Screw Package for installation. The split design of the bracket facilitates quick installation. Ensure the rubber dampers are correctly positioned to reduce vibrations for stable video output.

5.3 Propelinstallation

Attach the GF 45mm-3B propellers to the motors. Ensure correct orientation for each propeller (clockwise and counter-clockwise) as indicated by markings on the propellers and motors. Secure them firmly.

5.4 Binding with Remote Controller

The Pavo Pico utilizes the ELRS V3 protocol. To bind your quadcopter with a compatible remote controller:

1. Power on the quadcopter.
2. Activate binding mode on your ELRS V3 compatible remote controller. Refer to your remote controller's manual for specific instructions.
3. The quadcopter's receiver LED will indicate successful binding.

5.5 Softwarekonfiguration

The F4 2S 20A AIO FC V1 is optimized for HD digital VTX. For advanced configuration and tuning, connect the quadcopter to a computer using the USB Parameter Adjustment Cable. Utilize Betaflight Configurator software for flight controller settings and GyroFlow for video stabilization adjustments.

6. Betjening

6.1 Tjek før flyvning

• Inspect the frame, propellers, and motors for any visible damage.
• Sørg for, at batteriet er fuldt opladet og sikkert tilsluttet.
• Verify that the remote controller is powered on and successfully bound to the quadcopter.
• Check your FPV goggles/screen for a clear video feed.

6.2 Flight Instructions

After completing pre-flight checks, arm the quadcopter using your remote controller. Gradually increase throttle for takeoff. Practice basic maneuvers in a safe, open environment. The Pavo Pico offers precise and responsive control due to its optimized power system.

6.3 Batteristyring

The included LAVA 2S 450mAh 75C battery provides approximately 4 minutes of flight time. Monitor battery voltage during flight and land before the voltage drops too low to prevent damage. Always charge batteries using a compatible LiPo charger and follow all safety precautions.

7. Vedligeholdelse

7.1 Rengøring

Regularly clean the quadcopter to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using liquids directly on electronic components.

7.2 Udskiftning af propel

Damaged propellers can significantly affect flight performance and safety. Replace any bent, cracked, or chipped propellers immediately with genuine BETAFPV GF 45mm-3B propellers.

7.3 Motorpleje

Inspect motors for debris or hair wrapped around the shafts. Using acetate tape to bind motor wires can prevent them from interfering with propeller rotation. If a motor exhibits unusual noise or reduced performance, it may require replacement.

7.4 Stelinspektion

Periodically check the PA12 material frame for cracks or stress points, especially after hard landings. While durable, severe impacts can cause damage. Ensure all screws are tightened.

8. Fejlfinding

8.1 "Jello Effect" in Video

If your video feed exhibits a "jello effect" (wavy distortions), this typically indicates vibrations. Ensure the rubber dampers on the VTX mounting bracket are correctly installed and not worn. Check for bent or unbalanced propellers and replace if necessary. Verify that motor wires are secured and not touching propellers. GyroFlow software can also help stabilize recorded footage.

8.2 Quadcopter Not Binding

Confirm that both the quadcopter and remote controller are powered on and within range. Ensure your remote controller is set to the ELRS V3 protocol. Re-attempt the binding procedure as described in Section 5.4. If issues persist, consult the BETAFPV support resources.

8.3 Motor Failure / Uneven Thrust

If one or more motors are not spinning correctly or providing uneven thrust, first check for any obstructions (e.g., hair, dirt) around the motor shaft. Inspect motor wires for damage. If a motor is confirmed faulty, it will need to be replaced. This can sometimes be indicated by the quadcopter not flying level or flipping on arming.

8.4 Kort flyvetid

Ensure your battery is fully charged before flight. Over-discharging batteries can reduce their lifespan and capacity. Consider using higher capacity batteries (e.g., 550mAh 2S) if longer flight times are desired, ensuring they fit securely and do not excessively increase the quadcopter's weight.
