RAVEN

Q1: How do I connect my Raven drone to the remote control?

A1: Before attempting to set up your Raven drone ensure that the Raven drone battery is fully charged and new batteries have been installed into the remote control. Do a complete check of your surroundings making sure there are no hazards in your vicinity. Turn on the Raven drone’s power switch and place the drone on a flat, level surface facing away from you. With the left thumbstick in the down position, turn on the power switch on the remote control. Move the left thumbstick up to the highest position, and then return it down to the lowest position. The Remote will beep indicating that the connection has been made, and you are ready for lift off.

 

Q2: Why is my Raven drone drifting sideways/backward/forwards?

A2: Your Raven drone may need to be calibrated. To calibrate your Raven drone correctly make sure you are launching the drone from a flat, level surface. Switch on the Raven drone and remote control. Make the connection between the controller and Raven drone. Just before you take off, with the Raven drone still on a flat level surface hold both thumbsticks in the lower left diagonal position for 5 seconds. The Raven drone will now be recalibrated. To fine tune any drift further use the trimming controls on the remote control to balance any unwanted movement. Before adjusting trimming settings make sure that the Raven is not being affected by any outside forces such as wind or drafts.
