5. Instruccions de funcionament
5.1 Flight Modes (Reflex V3 System)
The Reflex V3 flight controller offers three distinct flight modes to cater to pilots of all skill levels:
- Beginner Mode (Self-Stabilizing): Provides 70% assistance, acting as a reliable co-pilot. This mode significantly reduces the learning curve and helps maintain stable flight.
- Advanced Mode (Enhanced Stabilization): Offers 40% assistance, allowing for more agile maneuvers while still providing support. Ideal for pilots progressing their skills.
- Off Mode (Manual Control): The gyro is turned off, allowing pilots complete manual control. This mode is for experienced pilots who wish to fly without any electronic assistance.
Switch between modes using your transmitter. Refer to the Reflex V3 manual for detailed setup and calibration.

5.2 Enlairament
The Fms Ranger is capable of short takeoffs, requiring as little as 3 meters of runway. This feature allows for flight opportunities in various locations.
- Place the aircraft on a flat, clear surface.
- Gradually increase throttle while maintaining directional control with the rudder.
- Once sufficient speed is gained, gently apply up elevator to lift off.

5.3 Aterratge
The robust landing gear with spring shock absorption helps ensure safe and stable landings.
- Approach the landing area at a controlled speed and altitude.
- Reduce throttle and gradually descend.
- Flare gently just before touchdown to absorb impact with the landing gear.
