Caution must be taken when it comes to weather planning. Effective weather planning breaks includes the following criteria:
Weather information gathering This can be achieved by watching local news weather stations, the internet and apps such as The Weather Channel and NOAA. Knowledge of weather patterns in your operational area Search for local weather patterns with weather forecasting apps. Executing flight plan and go or no-go situations based on the weather information Be sure to make informed decisions based on accurate weather information and remember no flight is too important to ignore hazards created by inclement weather. If these criteria are met, the chances of a crash or close call are substantially reduced. WEATHER LIMITATION OF THE EVOLVE 2 Wind speed: 25mph for maximum safety operations. Outside temperature: 0C ( coldest recommended temperature ) - 40C ( hottest recommended temperature). Visibility: At least 5 statute miles of clear visibility and a minimum cloud cover ceiling of 400ft. Fog: Not recommended to fly. Rain: Do not fly. PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST The checklist below is recommended before every aircraft flight. Aircraft operators are encouraged to add more items that might be required for particular operations. 1.

SPEED Ascending: 16.4ft/s (5m/s) Descending: 6.6ft/s (2m/s) Horizontal: 57 mph (92 km/h) (For higher top speeds contact customer support for signing of warranty wavier prior to activation) DISTANCE 36089 ft (11000 m) (Max Operating Range) HEIGHT 3281ft above sea level / 1000m WEIGHT 4.4 lbs. (2.00 kg) MAXIMUM. FLIGHT TIME Approx. 33 Mins PREPARING AIRCRAFT FOR FLIGHT For the first flight of the EVOLVE 2, be sure to have a level surface available that is clear of obstacles and loose debris. Ensure that there are no overhead structures or trees that might interfere with the EVOLVE 2 connecting to GPS satellites. Do not place the EVOLVE 2 on metal surfaces or with metal nearby (metal interferes with the internal compass of the flight system and can cause directional errors). For the first flight of the EVOLVE 2 be sure to fly in low wind (below 10kt) and high visibility conditions. Avoid flying in low visibility (like heavy fog) and rainy conditions. MAXIMUM DISTANCE AND ALTITUDE You can adjust the maximum altitude/distance under the following path: DRONE SETTINGS > AIRCRAFT > SET MAXIMUM FLIGHT ALTITUDE / SET MAXIMUM FLIGHT DISTANCE. Ensure your input value is within the suggested parameter. 52 ARMING AND DISARMING THE AIRCRAFT ARMING THE AIRCRAFT When arming or disarming, commands are given to the flight controller, the aircrafts state may change suddenly requiring the operator to react immediately in order to maintain full control of the aircraft. ARMING PRE-CHECK The EVOLVE 2 makes several internal calibrations and adjustments before each flight. If for any reason, any of the vital sensors or internal equipment has a safety issue, the aircraft will not ARM upon the ARM command given by the operators stick and the LEDs under each motor will turn RED. Please refer to the Smart Pilot screen to check for the diagnoses in order to correct the problem. The most common reason for not arming is the calibration of compass on a different or magnetically noisy environment. Please refer to Compass calibration and try again. There is a 5 second delay on the arming and disarming of the stick commands to avoid accidental spinning of the motors or disarming the aircraft in mid-air causing the aircraft to crash. ARMING Before arming the aircraft make sure pre-flight checklists are complete and the aircraft is in an area clear of obstacles and loose debris as loose debris can damage the propellers and possibly cause loose debris to act as projectiles doing damage to surrounding property and personnel.

Ensure the aircraft is fully disarmed (either solid Green or Blue LED) before returning the left thumb stick to the middle position. AUTO TAKE OFF AND LANDING For ease of operation and to assist beginner operators, the EVOLVE 2 aircraft can take off and land automatically. AUTO TAKE OFF PROCEDURE 1. Short Press and Long Press the Auto Take Off button for 3 seconds. 2. Take off dialog will pop up on the screen. Release the button to cancel action anytime. 3. The aircraft will arm itself and take off. 4. The aircraft will rise to 4 to 5 ft. ( If the aircraft is in POSITION mode it will hold position until the operator takes over, but if it is in ALTITUDE mode the operators needs to correct the altitude to prevent drifting.) Follow the previous pre-flight check, as stated in arming the aircraft above. 54 AUTO LANDING PROCEDURE 1. Short Press and Long Press the Auto Take Off button for 3 seconds. 2. Take off dialog will pop up on the screen. Release the button to cancel action anytime. 3. The Ground Station will voiceover to indicate the aircraft ready to descent. (during the descent the operator can reposition the aircraft to clear obstacles or land in preferred spot ) 4. Upon landing, the aircraft will disarm automatically. After confirming the land operation, the Ground Station will update the status to indicate that the aircraft is landing. RETURN TO HOME This feature brings the aircraft back to the location it first acquired a home lock position utilizing the GPS signal. Ensure GPS signal is fixed before takeoff (when all 4 LED lights located under the motors are solid green a GPS home lock is achieved) to bring it back to your home point position, when it reaches the home position the aircraft will hover for 5 seconds then land automatically. During the descent the operator can move the aircrafts position to clear away from obstacles on the ground or land in a preferred spot. At any point during the RTH mode, it can be modified by pressing the RTH button again and confirming the RTH cancel. The aircraft will then switch back into the mode which the 3-position switch mode is selected. The number of GPS satellites acquired and signal strength can also be checked on the top screen of the Ground Station. The minimum number of satellites needed is 6. Signal health will be confirmed by a (Excellent / Good / Fair / Poor) message on the APP. 55 EVOLVE 2 User Manual V1.2 by XDynamics Limited RETURN TO HOME BUTTON PROCEDURE 1. Make sure GPS Signal is showing at least Good (if not, visually track the aircraft as it flies back to home position). 2. Press and hold the Return to Home button for 3 seconds. 3. The aircraft will ascend to a pre-set altitude, or if at a greater altitude than the programmed altitude it will remain at that altitude, and then return to the Home Point in shortest path (straight line). 4. The Smart Pilot System indicates the aircraft is under Return to Home Mode. 5. When reaching the home point, the aircraft will hover for few seconds then proceed to auto land (during the descent the operator can reposition the aircraft to clear away from obstacles or land in preferred spot). LANDING AND RETURN TO HOME CANCELLATION When Landing and Return to Home is in process, the user may stop the Return to Home process by tapping on the cancel button located on the right OR press and hold the Auto Takeoff/Landing and RTH hard key until the process is cancelled. 56 DETERMINING THE RETURN TO HOME ALTITUDE Depending on the flight conditions and obstacles in the return to home flight path, the operator can choose a safe return altitude for the Return to Home function. This altitude should be set up before flight under the APP configuration tab. A low altitude setting is not recommended for obstacle clearance (such as trees or buildings). Also notice the maximum legal flight altitude for each flight. This configuration allows the aircraft to reach a programed altitude before starting to fly back to the home position. If the aircraft is below the programed altitude it will ascend to the programmed altitude, then proceed to the home position. If the aircraft is above the programed altitude it will remain at that altitude and then proceed to the home position. To configure the Return to Home Altitude, user may change it under the following path: DRONE SETTINGS > AIRCRAFT >
RETURN TO HOME ALTITUDE This altitude setting is also used for Return to Home function in case the failsafe is triggered due to loss of signal or power loss of the Ground Station. MAP (FLIGHT MAP/OFFLINE MAP) The Ground Station will automatically turn off the internet connection once the aircraft is launched. Download the map of your area before your flight and please ensure you go through the START HERE > CHECKLIST > FLYPAGE. Double check that the Ground Station has automatically downloaded the map around your area before you take off.
