AeroDrone MR4 - Getting Started Guide

1. Introduction

Welcome to the AeroDrone MR4 Mk4 Getting Started Guide. Here you’ll be able to find out everything you need

to know in order to fly your system safely.

Although this system is easy to use, it does have a number of advanced features that require your complete

understanding to operate the vehicle safely and within regulations. We encourage you to read through this entire

guide before trying to fly, so that you have a solid understanding of these features and their operation. It’s also a

good idea to download or print this guide and have it with you when flying, in case you need to refer to it at any

stage.

Reading this Guide

When reading through this document you’ll notice different coloured callouts that provide additional information;

NOTE or REFERENCE

These provide additional information that will be useful to read or point you to a section of the document that is

relevant to what you’re reading.

HINTS and TIPS

These are worth reading to understand a topic further, and maybe even save some time.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Please read and understand each of these messages before moving on. If there’s something you don’t

understand please contact us for clarification.

WARNING

Warnings are vitally important to your safety and the safety of others. Please read and follow them carefully

before completing any steps associated with them.

there hasn’t been any updates or changes made since you downloaded/printed the guide.

2. Regulations

Most countries have regulations in place that govern the safe use of drones. These regulations are in place to not

only ensure your safety, but the safety of other; aircraft, people, and property on the ground. It’s very important

that you understand your countries local laws and regulations regarding the use of drones.

Australia

In Australia, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) is the organisation empowered by the Civil Aviation Act to

develop and enforce these safety rules and regulations. Most people find the regulations difficult to read and

interpret. As a result, CASA have released an eLearning Guide that helps determine what rules apply to you and

explains the regulations in plain English.

There are many different names or terminology for drones. CASA uses Remotely Piloted Aircraft, or RPA for

short. So wherever you see the term RPA, you know they’re just talking about drones.

For further information on the Australian rules and regulations around drones you can visit the CASA RPA website

There is also a range of other great resources available about flying safely, following regulations and being a

responsible pilot. The Australian Association of Unmanned Systems (AAUS) website is great and has some really

useful information about all of these topics.

3. Preparing the Aircraft

3.1. Batteries

3.1.1. Battery Safety

LiPo batteries can be dangerous and care must be taken when charging and handling.

For further information, please download these two documents:

Bask Aerospace Li-Po Material Safety Data Sheet

Bask Aerospace How To Safely Handle Li-Po Batteries

3.1.2. Battery Charging

The E4CUBE charger is very simple to setup and easy to use. To charge your battery simply plug the included AC

cable into the back of the charger and then into a 240v power point.

AeroDrone MR4 - Getting Started Guide

Wait for the blue LED indicator lights on the top of the charger to flash alternatively. Then connect the battery’s

balance terminal into the correct port on the front of the E4CUBE charger. You should have either a 3S or 4S

battery (3-cell or 4-cell) so the 2S port will never be used. The battery balance connector will only fit into one of

the charge ports and it will also only go in one way, so do not force the plug into the charge port otherwise you

may cause damage to both the battery and charger.

When you’ve plugged the battery into the correct charge port, the blue LED indicator lights on the top of the

charger will show the charge progress of the battery. Once the battery is fully charged the blue LED indicator

lights will all remain on solid.

When using a LiPo battery for the first time you may not get the full rated capacity (and therefore flightime) that

you expect. New LiPo batteries need to be cycled several times before reaching their full capacity potential.

3.2. Folding and Unfolding

The first thing you’ll notice is that the aircraft comes with the arms folded, for easy storage and transportation.

Unfolding

To unfold the aircraft, simply follow these steps;

1. Remove the main cover by unclipping each of the four black o-rings holding it down to the arms.

2. Partially loosen the eight white thumb screws (four on top and four underneath the aircraft) so that the

washer underneath the thumbscrew clears the plate. There’s no need to undo the thumbscrews all the

way as unfolding will occur without them being completely removed.

3. Once the washer is clear of the plate, fold each arm outwards by 45 degrees so that the aircraft now forms

an “X” shape.

4. Tighten each thumb screw again, being careful to ensure the washer fits down into the circular cutout in

the plate. Once tight, the washer and thumb screw ensures the arm will not fold inwards during flight.

Folding

To fold the aircraft for storage or transport simply reverse the steps you completed to unfold the aircraft.

3.3. Installing Antennas

Before powering the aircraft you need to install the telemetry antennas.

Powering the aircraft without antennas can cause damage to the telemetry module.

To install the antennas simply screw each antenna on to the bulkhead connector on the bottom of the drone.

To achieve the best performance (ie. range) from the telemetry system, one antenna should be as horizontal as

possible and the other should be as vertical as possible. This is also known as horizontal and vertical polarisation.

3.4. Propellers

The aircraft comes with folding propellers. They’re simple to use and easy to fold for storage or transport.

The propellers need to be loose enough to swing into place when the motor turns. Do NOT overtighten!

4. Operating the Aircraft

4.1. Remote Controller

The Remote Controller (also known as RC Controller or RC Transmitter) is the most direct way to control your

aircraft. Even though it’s possible to fly the aircraft without using the Remote Controller, we always recommend

you have it close by, ready to use should the need occur.

Below is a diagram of the Remote Controller stick and switch functions;
