Advanced functionalities
Caution: The remote control is preconfigured for use with the
swinglet CAM. In particular, the trim dials, used to finely adjust the po-
sition of the drone’s ailerons, are calibrated to ensure optimal flight
characteristics and should not be adjusted. Changing the remote
control’s configuration, including the trim settings, may compromise
the flight characteristics of the drone. If, for any reason, the preset
settings should be lost, contact your swinglet CAM reseller.

Pre-flight testing of the remote control
If you plan to use the remote control during a flight we recommend that you first
test it on the ground. Ensure that the swinglet CAM is set to Full Manual mode⁴²
and follow these steps:
1. Check that the left stick on the remote control is in the low position to pre-
vent the propeller from spinning.
2. Set the autopilot switch to manual.
3. Turn on the remote control.
4. Turn on the swinglet CAM by connecting the battery. Once the drone de-
tects the signal from the remote control it will change to one of the manual
modes.
Caution: The motor of the swinglet CAM is now controlled by the re-
mote control and will begin spinning if the left stick is pushed up. Al-
ways keep the area around the propeller clear of obstacles and body
parts to prevent injury.
5. Move the right stick on the remote control to verify proper reception by the
drone and correct servo direction.
