2. Plug & Play design, no need to weld any wire.

3. Intelligent PID controller. Easy to adjust, support delta-wing.

4. One button auto-leveling, semi-automatic flying; lock angle 45°with MAX sticks, auto-leveling after

releasing sticks.

5. Gyro 3D balance.

Arkbird FPV 1. Wiring （Check carefully before power on, incorrect wiring will damage the autopilot permanently!） 1. The pins of RX in & Servo out shall stay forward (toward flying direction), the side with 4P dip switch shall be upward or vertical installed toward right wing.（Default is level installation） 2. Put on heat-shrink tubing, fix by sponge and cable tie. Please keep away from motor to avoid vibration and reducing the accuracy of sensor. 3.

Arkbird FPV 2 ways of installation 2. Switch Modes through CH5 and CH6: Use CH5 and CH6 to switch flight 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 1. Aileron: When rolling the plane to right, aileron shall produce a left compensation automatically, make plane go back horizontal. On the contrary, when rolling to left, aileron will produce a right compensation. Please see as below: If the compensation direction is not correct, please move the Dip switch 1 to the other side. 2. Elevator:When pitching up the plane, elevator shall produce a down compensation automatically.

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.
