Weapon Usage:

RELEASE WEAPON STATION: Open the cabin (AG1 on) first. Then release the weapon station (AG4 on). You will get the control of the weapon station at the same time.
WEAPON USAGE: When you are controlling the weapon station, you can use the right joystick to aim and use VTOL to adjust the direction of the weapon station. The weapon station also equipped a sight (Camera 2) for better aim.
TAKE BACK WEAPON STATION: Firstly, return the orientation of the weapon station (turn VTOL to 0). Then take back the station (AG4 off). At last, close the cabin (AG1 off).

Precautions:

  1. When you release or take back the weapon station, please strictly follow the order in Weapon Usage, or you may damage the aircraft.
  2. When you control the weapon station, your input of Roll and Pitch of aircraft will be blocked and the aircraft will be self-balanced. We highly recommend you to use the weapon station with the Auto Hovering System on, which will provide you perfect shooting experience.
  3. The aircraft control system is highly programed, do not change the input of components arbitrarily. But it is welcome for you to discuss the possible optimization of the programs with us.
