Spirit units are fully compatible with Stratos 200 and will offer out of the box experience with the latest Spirit 4.0.4 firmware and software. For the best performance we recommend Spirit 3, Spirit W3, Spirit GT, Spirit GTR or Spirit W1 units. These have full support for DShot300 protocol.

1 Wiring

You can wire Stratos according following scheme:

• CH1 - S2 Servo
• CH2 - S1 Servo (Left servo)
• CH3 - S3 Servo (Right servo)

• PIT (Center pin) - Green cable for RPM readings
• SAT1 - ESC Telemetry cable - JST-Servo plug adapter is required. You can find it inside the Stratos box. Signal wire must be connected closer to the main pin headers.

Make sure to dismount Main and Tail blades for a safety reason.

1.1 Spirit 3, Spirit GT

• AUX2 - Blue cable (Tail Motor)
• AUX1 - ESC cable (Main Motor)

1.2 Spirit W1, Spirit W3, Spirit GTR

• AUX - Blue cable (Tail Motor)
• THR - ESC cable (Main Motor)

2 Starting

1. First please install the latest PC software 4.0.4 from our Download section.
2. Then flash the Firmware 4.0.4-STRATOS-r3 from the Firmware List.

2.1 Setup Wizard

After flashing you can start the Setup Wizard that include all required settings. Go through the wizard, select your Receiver type and then select STRATOS 200 preset. STEP 2 is the most important one.

Once you are at the STEP 5 you need to change channels and it's direction to corespond to the bars you can see. If you are operating Spirit Wave, everything will be fine out of the box.

2.2 Tuning

IMPORTANT: It is required to adjust Swashplate Subtrims in the Setup Wizard to obtain levelled swashplate. This mean to move with CH1, CH2 and CH3 Subtrims in the PC software until all 3 servos are in the center as precise as possible. Do not move with CH4 subtrim, this is used for configuring minimum RPM for Tail Motor.

After going through the process you are almost Ready to Fly.

3 First flight

1. Set Gyro Gain to 80% in your radio.
2. Set flat Throttle Curve. Setting 70 - 80% should be equal to 5000 RPM.
