32  |  Low Altitude Control – Min. Height

 

Low Altitude Control settings are available in the EYEControl:Navigator app.

 

Low Altitude Control only restricts the minimum altitude.

 

Accuracy: ±2 m, min. height: 5 m

  In  order  to  fly  lower  than  the  set  min.  height 

you must keep the throttle stick at its miniumum position for 
min. 5 seconds.

 

Low Altitude Control can only be activated in GPS flight mode (and ‘Safe bank’).

 

Switching to another flight mode deactivates Low Altitude Control.

 

Study »Fig. 15.

The Low Altitude Control is controlled by atmospheric pressure. When you connect the

battery in a certain place the atmospheric pressure is measured and taken as ‘zero’ value,

from which the min. height is calculated.
Example:

 

▬

Min. height set in app: 

 

▬

Height above sea level:  1000 m

Once the Navigator 250 surpasses 40 m (actual 1040 m), Low Altitude Control is triggered

and the Navigator 250 will not descend lower than the 40 m mark (± 2 m).
The pilot must be aware that the Navigator 250 does not consider obstacles that are within

the set height and can therefore easily crash into objects in its path (see »Fig. 15).

We provide video instructions for many spare parts. View 
them on www.rclogger.com. If instructions are available, 
follow them with precision.

23.1.1  Cleaning
The Navigator 250 is a simple but well-designed flying device. There are no mechanical

parts that need to be lubricated or require special maintenance. However, after each flight

you should clean the Navigator 250 of possible dirt (wool strings, dust, etc.).
For cleaning, use a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid contact between water and the

electronics, rechargeable battery and motors.

23.1.2  Maintenance and repairs
Defective components present a hazard. Replace all damaged components before flying

the Navigator 250 again. It is important that you only use original spare parts. Non-original

spare parts can lead to damage and accidents, or may not be of sufficient quality.

 

Cold  temperature  environmental  conditions  may  require  sensitive  electronic

components  to  reach  ideal  operating  temperature  slower  as  compared  to  under

favourable conditions such as room temperature.

 

Under  such  cold  conditions  your  unit  may  tend  to  drift  in  any  direction,  increasing

gradually. Small drifts in any direction are normal, however. Drift may also be caused by

propeller wash while flying close to ground surface. Operate the Navigator 250 within

the temperature range given in the technical data.

If you need to continuously trim the Navigator 250 to ensure proper flying then this may be

due to one of the following reasons:
