AURA 8 AFCS
The Aura 8 AFCS (Advanced Flight Control System) comes programmed and pre-installed in your QQ Yak 55 10E Super PNP, making setup a breeze.
This highly-refined 3-axis gyro makes the QQ Yak 55 10E Super PNP fly like it is a larger aircraft and in less wind. Thanks to the Aura’s advanced
implementation, it not only enhances the flying experience, but it never interferes with the pilot’s control.
The Aura 8 AFCS comes configured with Flight Modes (dual rates, expos and gyro settings) set by the Flex Innovations team, and offers a great
starting point for most pilots. Since these are already configured for you in the Aura, there is no need to set up dual rates or expos in your
transmitter. Simply follow the Transmitter Configuration Guide in this manual for complete details on the transmitter programming required for
the QQ Yak 55 10E Super PNP and Aura 8 AFCS.

Description of Pre-Configured Aura Flight Modes
Flight Mode 1: Sport
• For general flight, high speed aerobatics or test flights
• Rates are low and expos tuned for comfortable flight.
• Gyro gain
1
is set to low.
Flight Mode 2: High Speed 3D
• For high speed 3D flight.
• Rates are set very high and expos tuned for general flight.
• Gyro gain
1
is set to moderate.
Flight Mode 3: Slow Speed 3D
• For slow speed 3D flight.
• Rates are set to maximum and expos are tuned for 3D flight.
• Gyro gain
1
is set to moderately high.
• Gyro oscillation
2
will occur at mid to high speeds. Do NOT fly at mid to high speeds in this Flight Mode.
NOTE - Gyro can be disabled in any flight mode using the Gyro Kill switch assigned to Channel 6 (see table on next page).
NOTE - Rudder stick movement will also move the ailerons and elevator. This is NORMAL and is the pre-programmed mixing..
Each of the modes has been tuned by our team to offer a solid start. Because tastes in control feel are unique, if changes in rate and expo are
needed adjustments should be made through Aura. Changes on gain value may only be made through the Aura.
1
Gain: The amount of correction the gyro applies. The higher the gain, the more correction the gyro applies.
2
Oscillation: Rapid and repeating movements back and forth, often extreme.
