Retractable Landing Gear for Spreading Wings S800 V 1.2
2013.01.24 Revised
Introduction
The retractable landing gear is designed for the S800 frame in order to provide a better perspective in
aerial-filming / photography work. By using a 2-position switch channel of the R/C transmitter, you can
control the landing gear to retract remotely. The retractable landing gear will not block the view of the
camera lens, making smooth shooting in all directions possible.

Assembly & Connection
The part with the control board attached is defined as left, the other part is right. Make sure to make a
distinction between the left and the right servos.
STEP1 Servo Installation (If the servos have already been installed, please skip this step.)
1. Define and mark two HS-7954SH servos from Hitec as left servo and right servo.
2. Connect the left servo to the [L] port on the control board, and the right servo to the [R] port.
3. Keep pressing the SET button with the aid of a small tool, and then power on. You will see the yellow
LED flashes quickly, and then wait until the servos have finished their position initialization.
4. Make sure the servo arm is parallel to the servo’s center line (shown in the following Fig).
5. Power off, and assemble the left and right servos to the left and the right parts of the landing gear.
Tips: If you use your own servos, it is recommended to use dedicated programmer from Hitec to enlarge
the servo travel from 120° to 150°, and then install servos by the above steps. Servos from DJI have been
enlarged servo travel.
STEP2 Mechanical Assembly
1. Assemble the left and the right parts respectively, and then fix the screws at the joints with appropriate
screw thread lock.
2. Connect the left and right parts with the connecting rod.
3. For safety reasons, make sure to connect the springs to both parts.
4. Assemble the battery Bracket, referring to the “S800 User Manual”.
STEP3 Electrical Connections
1. Plug the cables from the servos into the correct ports on the control board. Make sure the right servo is
connected to the [R] port, and the left servo to the [L] port.
2. Connect the required 2-position switch channel of the R/C receiver to the [IN] port.
