Slowly push the throttle but do not take off.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd Control parameters adjustment RC Sensitivity RC Sensitivity determines the reaction speed of attitude from the command (the bigger the value the quicker the reaction). Increase it for sharper and quicker leveling action after the command stick is released. Unstable shaky flying and a control feeling of stiffness and rigidness will result if the value is too high; and sluggish leveling action and slow braking if it‘s too small.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd GPS hovering mode test First you should wait until the GPS positioning LED shows that the GPS positioning is in good condition (Green light double flash each loop or triple flash each loop). As a result, you can get a good hover effect. First take off in Attitude Stabilized Mode. During the flight, please control your aircraft‘s heading to spin three circles. The magnetic field will automatically calibrate during this procedure.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd The Altitude control of hovering and Auto Return To Launch Mode(RTH) FY-41AP can automatically control flight altitude on hovering mode and Auto Return To Launch Mode(RTH). Climbing and descending rate is directly related to the throttle, when the throttle stick is in the center position, 41AP automatic locks the altitude. Maximum means climb rate is 3 m/s, minimum means decline rate is 1.5 m/s.
Guilin Feiyu Electronic Technology Co., Ltd After each setting, do not forget the "Save parameters" FAIL-SAFE setting In order to realize auto return to home when your aircraft out of control, requires your RC and RC receiver both have ―Fail Safe‖ function. When the Failsafe remote control receiver doesn‘t receive a signal, it outputs a default setting for the rudder. Most remote control models have a controlled set runway protection system.
