IF1200A Pilot Operating Handbook 2. IF1200A Overview
2. IF1200A Overview
The IF1200A is an American-made, NDAA-compliant heavy-lift hexacopter. The IF1200A uses
the Open Source ArduPilot Flight Control System running on an NDAA compliant CubePilot
Blue Cube H7. This User Manual describes how to use the full functionality of this aircraft to
meet your most demanding needs.
There are three models of the IF1200A, which differ according to which remote control they use:
● IF1200A HereLink Blue: uses the NW Blue HereLink Blue remote control
● IF1200A HereLink Black: uses the CubePilot HereLink hand controller
● IF1200A Long Range Telemetry (LRT): uses the Jeti DS-12 hand controller in
conjunction with the RFD900x-US radio.
All three versions of the IF1200A are identical except for the remote control. This Pilot Operating
Handbook (POH) describes all three versions.
Figure 1 below is a front view of the IF1200A aircraft. See Figure 2 on the following page for a
