Flight safety notice
Flywing suggests that users enjoy flying in a reasonable safe environment. The knowledge of flight safety is
very important for the safety of yourself, the surrounding people and the environment.
1.Fly in open areas away from buildings, trees, High voltage power cable lines, crowd, water surface, and any near by
obstacle.
2.Please keep the remote control transmitter in hand, even when using the Auto Flight / Auto Landing and Auto
Return Home function, to control the helicopter at any time.
3.Please fly the helicopter within your sight range at all times。
4.To ensure flight safety, please do not fly the helicopter beyond 120 meters above the ground. If there are no
flying height restrictions or if the restriction is lower than 120 meters in your area, please follow the regulations
Please visit http://www.flywingrc.com Watch flight safety
teaching videos and acquire more comprehensive safety
knowledge such as flight restrictions
● PreFlight safety inspection
Please check the helicopter carefully before taking off. Precautions are as follows:
1.Check whether the main blades ,tail blades, helicopter body and landing skids are damaged or distorted,
please replace them with the genuine Fly Wing RC parts.
2.Check whether the flight control linkages and fuselage are fixed firmly, and whether the GPS unit is
correctly fixed on the helicopter tail boom (horizontally placed, straight line behind the main mast )
H1 Unit is fixed firmly on the double sided foam pad either at the front or at the back of the main
mast. Pay attention to the direction of the arrow which has to be pointed towards the direction of
travel
3.Check whether the power of the helicopter and the transmitter are sufficient. After the transmitter is
powered on, turn on the power supply of the helicopter, and check whether the helicopter passes the
self inspection test (the rotor head and swashplate move regularly for several seconds)
● Flight environment requirements
1. Do not fly in bad weather, such as strong wind (10m / s), rain, snow and foggy weather, etc.
2. Choose an open place with no tall buildings around the flight pathway. Any large number of buildings
steel bars will affect the effectiveness of compass function , and they will block GPS signal, resulting in poor
positioning of helicopter and even unable to receive the signals.
3. Please do not fly in any area with high voltage cable line, radio tele-communication station, mobile phone
transmission tower or Wi-Fi, to avoid signal interference of your transmitter and receiver.
4. Please take extra caution when flying above 6000 meters as performance of the battery and the motor power
system of the helicopter will be reduced to cold temperature and thinner air density.
●Flight operation requirements
5.
Fly within your sight of range（VLOS）
6. Keep away from rotating blades and motor.
7. Activating the stop switch during flight will cause the helicopter to fall. Please use this function only in
case of emergency.
8. During the flight, please do not answer or make phone calls, send short messages or use other mobile
devices that may interfere with your helicopter operation.
9. Do not operate the helicopter under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
10. Please return home as soon as possible when low power warning appears from the transmitter.
11. In the process of runaway return, when the radio signal becomes normal again, the helicopter landing
position can be controlled by the transmitter.
12. After landing, the helicopter electronic power should be stopped first and then the transmitter should be
turned off to avoid any loss of transmitter signal.
13. When using the GPS Autopilot flight mode and Return Home functions, you should always be prepared
to control the helicopter manually by turning the transmitter 3D mode switch in case of Emergency .
Please note that the helicopter is still in the Auto GPS flight mode state at this time. If you need to completely
exit the flight mode, please turn the flight stop button on the transmitter.
14. Please keep control of the helicopter all the way. Do not rely on GPS to provide information. In specific flight
mode or flight environment, GPS system can not work normally, such as precise landing or active braking
using

ne key to ormal/Invert flight
Flywing has designed one key switch ormal /Invert mode for users. In inverted mode, GPS can still fly at
fixed point and fixed altitude, providing users with a good acrobatic training platform. In 3 mode flight,
this function is invalid, this function only works in GPS self stabilization mode.
•When using this function, the helicopter will switch ormal/ Invert according to the position of the
switch on the upper right corner of the transmitter. While the helicopter is in normal flight, it will switch
to inverted flight, and the helicopter will auto roll over to inverted flight and hover at fixed point by GPS.
•The return function and automatic route Figure of or circle is not available in inverted mode, please
do not switch.
•Please pay attention to the battery power. This function can be switched only when it is more than 10
meters above the ground.
•After one key to invert, you can control the flight action and altitude
of the helicopter
if you want to switch ormal flight mode, you need to climb to more
than 10 m above the ground again, so that the switch is effective. In the inverted state, it is
recommended to use 4S battery and set the constant speed throttle at
more than 5.
•There are two modes simple inverted mode and expert inverted mode.
•simple inverted mode
This mode is suitable for novice , and can quickly experience the fun of reverse flight. It needs to be set
in the parameter adjustment software. When the reverse flight switch is turned on, the helicopter will
automatically roll to inverted flight and hover at fixed point by GPS. At this time, the user's operation
mode is the same as that of forward flight. if the throttle stick is pushed upward, the helicopter will
climb upward. If the elevator stick is pushed forward, the helicopter will move towards the nose.
xpert inverted mode.
•
This mode is suitable for 3 stunt training operation, and can be used for basic hovering operation of
3 stunt assisted by GPS. It needs to be set in the parameter adjustment software. When the reverse
flight switch is turned on, the helicopter will automatically roll to inverted flight and hover at fixed
point by GPS. At this time, the operation mode of the helicopter is the same as that of 3 stunt.
push the throttle stick upward, the helicopter will descend, and if the elevator stick move forward,
and the helicopter will move towards the tail.
This function is a test function. ue to the different performance and power of each helicopter,
the rolling effect will be slightly different. y default in the software ,If the height of the
helicopter is less than 10 meters above the ground, this function cannot be turned on.
If the user opens this function below 10 meters above the ground, the user shall bear the
adverse effects and consequences caused by the use of this function, such as helicopter failure.

. ompass calibration
ompass is easy to be disturbed by strong electric field, strong magnetic field and strong
electromagnetic field, which will lead to abnormal compass and even cause flight accidents. Regular
calibration can make the compass works at its best.
alibration precautions
1. o not calibrate in the area of strong magnetic field and electric field or near large metal, such as
magnetic ore, parking lot, building area with underground reinforcement, etc.
2.o not carry ferromagnetic materials, such as keys, watches, speakers, etc. when calibrating.
3. If the compass is calibrated indoors, remember to recalibrate when changing to outdoor flight to
prevent compass abnormality during flight due to magnetic field difference between the two places.
4.Please move the helicopter to another location when there may be steel materials affecting the
compass.
alibration procedure
Please select an open space and calibrate the compass according to the steps below. For more
information on compass calibration, please visit https//www.flywingrc.com/video/ Watch relevant
