Main Material ..................................................
The Esky EYAS FC INSIDE does not come with a transmitter, receiver, charger and flight battery. Customers
need to prepare them on their own. The recommended transmitter should have six channels or more, with two
or more two-position or three-position switches. Before connecting the receiver to the flight control, please
ensure the power supply voltage and connection wire sequence of the receiver to avoid damage to the
receiver or flight controller due to improper operation. Before assembling the aircraft, the transmitter should be
bound to a receiver, and the receiver should be connected to the corresponding plug on the flight control using
the receiver connection wire.
If using a smart remote controller (with a screen and settings function), a new mode is required to be created,
and it is recommended to select the aircraft model (fixed-wing model with a normal tail).

Flight Mode
There are two modes available for the flight control:
Beginner Mode (6-axis mode) and experienced mode (3-axis mode)
Beginner Mode (6-axis mode): To prevent over-control and mitigate the risk of orientation loss and crashes,
pitch and bank angle limits are in place. Additionally, when the control sticks are released, the airplane
automatically returns to level flight, ensuring a safe and stable flying experience.
Experienced mode (3-axis mode): There are no restrictions on pitch or bank angles, providing you with full
control over the aircraft! 3 Axis Mode operates in the background to enhance stability by minimizing the impact
of wind and turbulence. This results in a controlled and immersive flying experience, giving you the sensation
of piloting a larger aircraft.
Caution: Flight mode switching is assigned to channel 5 of the transmitter using 2 or 3 position switches.
Channel 6 of the transmitter is used for throttle cut using 2 or 3 position switches and these setting CANNOT
be changed. The "Aux1" and "Aux2" channels on the flight control can be assigned to channels other than 1-6
for controlling flaps or retracting landing gear.

Parameter Setup Button
The flight control has a parameter setup button can be used to make precise adjustments to the neutral
position of each control surface. Before using the button, ensure to push all the trims on the transmitter to their
neutral positions.
LED Indicator
Parameter Setup Button
The parameter setup button is designed for short presses only. To enter the setup mode, power on both the
transmitter and the flight control. The LED indicator should glow solid blue to indicate normal operation.
Ensure that there is an appropriate interval between two button presses, without it being too short. When
entering the setup mode, the LED will blink red or purple if the servo is not in the neutral position. The LED will
glow solid purple if the servo is in the neutral position.
Press the button for the first time (the blue LED will blink once) to enter the neutral position adjustment mode
for the aileron servo. Adjustment can be made using the aileron stick.
Press the button for the second time (the blue LED will blink twice) to enter the neutral position adjustment
mode for the elevator servo. Adjustment can be made using the elevator stick.
Press the button for the third time (the blue LED will blink three times) to enter the neutral position
adjustment mode for the rudder servo. Adjustment can be made using the rudder stick.
Press the button for the fourth time (the blue LED will blink four times) to enter the neutral position
adjustment mode for the flap channel. Adjustment can be made using the rudder stick.
Press the button for the fifth time, and the LED will glow solid blue to indicate that the setup is completed.
(If no settings or actions are performed within one minute prior to this step, the system will automatically exit.
In such a case, the blue LED will revert to solid blue, and any adjusted parameters will not be saved.)
Each step mentioned above is adjusted by moving the corresponding stick on the transmitter up, down, left, or
right. If the red or purple LED blinks at an increasing frequency, it indicates that the control surface is moving
further away from the neutral point. if the blinking slows down, it means the control surface is approaching the
neutral point. When the LED turns solid purple, it indicates that the servo is in the neutral position.
Remarks:
To reset all servos, press and hold the "Parameter Setup Button" on the flight control for more than 6
seconds until the LED indicator turns from solid blue to blinking purple and returns to solid blue, then release
the button. All servos will automatically return to the neutral position.
To adjust the mechanical position of the servo arms or push-pull rods, press and hold the "Parameter Setup
Button" on the flight control for 3 seconds until the LED indicator light turns from solid blue to blinking purple,
then releasing the button and pressing it again, the LED indicator light will turn blinking red to indicate all
servos return to the neutral position and all the control surfaces have stopped moving, allowing you to make
the necessary adjustments. Press the button once again to finish the adjustments, the LED indicator light
will return to solid blue. This operation can be performed in both beginner flight mode (6-axis mode) and
experienced flight mode (3-axis mode).
