Start it up

 

Plug in batteries and keep the UAV level. Wait for gyros to calibrate.

This is also a good time to setup your laptop and ground control software and/or ground station antennas you may be using.

Simply throw the UAV by hand. The onboard sensors will recognize the movement, engage the motor and fly to minimum altitude before beginning the mission.

Auto landing or optional manual landing for those with RC flight experience. A simple click on the ground control software is all that's required to land the plane.
