Arkbird FPV necessary. Also, you need a fail-safe protection for the receiver in case your autopilot loses control when returning home. Then you can take off. If GPS positioning is valid, GPS status LED will flash fast. For the first flight, we suggest take off with "Manual Mode". Check if the aircraft flies normally after switching to “Balance Mode” in a level flight. Then switch to "RTH Mode" and check the plane whether have hovering at 80M height overhead.

Arkbird FPV Use CH5 and CH6 to switch flight mode. If without accessing GPS module, You can switch between Manual, Balance, Gryo and Hover mode. 1) While CH5 is less than 50%, it switches to Manual Mode; 2) While CH5 is more than 50% and CH6 is less than 30%, it switches to Balance Mode; 3) While CH5 is more than 50% and CH6 is between 30% -70%, it switches to Gyro Compensation Mode; it will only do compensation when unintentional attitude changes.

Arkbird FPV Note: Check CH5 and CH6 reverse through radio monitor： push throttle, CH5 and CH6 to 0%, the CH3, CH5, and CH6 status shown on radio shall be like picture below (Or check through servo). 3. Neutral Check Neutral point alignment needed under first installation, changing of Vertical/Level installation, not using for weeks, or temperature variation is more than 10 degrees.

Arkbird FPV correct, rudder, aileron and elevator shall be at the neutral position, otherwise please check the neutral point again. When switched to balanced mode, compared to manual mode, the elevator will lift up a bit which means the plane will rise a bit in a level flight to ensure a level route. 1. Aileron: When rolling the plane to right, aileron shall produce a left compensation automatically, make plane go back horizontal.

Arkbird FPV 6. Adjust output travel range： Please setup stick angle volume on RC Transmitter as 100%, fine tuning back to middle, and change stick volume by adjusting Roll/Pitch/Yaw Potentiometer knobs or plane’s control surface. Please increase control value when the stability not good enough under Balance Mode (drift even stick back to center), turn the Potentiometer knob clockwise Decrease control value when the plane swings, turn the Potentiometer knob anticlockwise.

Arkbird FPV (probably through a button). Please refer to the manual of receiver. Set the fail-safe position the same as Return-to-Home Mode through CH5 and CH6 (CH5>50%,CH6 > 70%). And then turn off the radio to check if it switches to Return-to-Home Mode （Note: No need to set fail-safe from channel 1 to channel 4 as these four channels are controlled by autopilot under Return-to-Home Mode, which is not relevant to receiver.） 9.
