Cheat Sheet/Quick Tips

Runner 250 Standard Failsafe
There is two ways to set this failsafe and it is up to you on how you want to do it, the first way is to go to your Function Menu on your radio, then to failsafe. Once under failsafe go to throttle and set it for L100, this failsafe will simply kill the throttle if signal is lost.

The second way is an auto-land technique, again well under failsafe set Aileron, Elevator and Rudder to 0, then set throttle for L80. In the event of signal loss, the Runner will try to slowly cost down, setting the movement channels to 0 stabilizes the Runner and throttle on L80 keeps the motors spinning slow. Use caution with this setup, if you Runner were to get stuck in a tree or flip over the motors will be stuck on and may cause permanent damage.

Runner 250 Advance Failsafe
The easiest and most efficient way to set the Runner advance failsafe is to open your Function Menu and go to failsafe, now go to GEAR and set that channels value to +100. What this will do is force your Runner advance into Return to Home in the event of a loss signal.

A quick side note on the Runner advance failsafe – This quad is supposed to auto-land in the event of loss signal or low voltage cutoff (LVC), according to Walkera it is programmed into the firmware to carry out these functions. I still prefer to force it into auto-land.

Runner 250 Standard/Advance Calibration
There is a misconception that you need to manually calibrate your gyro and accelerometer on the Runner series, this is not necessary unless you start the quad up on an un-even surface or have a crash that you don’t power down after. When you power the Runner up the IMU automatically calibrates the system and holds that calibration unless you override it with a manual calibration, or until you power down. The compass calibration on the Advance model still has to be performed once before the maiden flight, also after a firmware update or if you travel far away from the original calibration area.
