- X WING
The 30-minute interval is intended to prevent the battery from becoming too hot to charge. If the battery temperature is too high, charging is disabled and the first indicator light near the battery power switch shows a white warning light.
To charge with the charger:
- Make sure the intelligent flight battery is correctly installed in the aircraft.
- Connect the charger to AC power (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz). Use a power adaptor if required.
- Connect the charger to the aircraft charging port.
- During charging, the battery level indicators cycle from the current charge level. The charger shows red while working and green when charging is complete.
- When all battery level indicators turn off, the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the aircraft and charger to finish charging.
Under normal recommended use, the battery capacity may noticeably decrease after about 300 charge/discharge cycles. Actual performance may vary slightly depending on the use environment and maintenance.
No. The aircraft, controller, and software do not display the battery cycle count or overall health status. If the battery is damaged, the battery LED will show red.
A white light means the battery temperature is too high. Let the battery rest for a while, then charge it again after it returns to normal temperature. The indicator status will return to normal.
The dedicated X WING smart battery model is GRPB142104.
Nominal voltage: 23.1V; capacity: 6920 mAh; energy: 159.85 Wh.
- The onboard flight controller continuously communicates with the intelligent battery and reads voltage and battery level data in real time. If no valid battery signal is detected, the device displays a prompt reminding you to check whether the battery is installed correctly.
- The first status indicator near the battery power switch uses different colours to indicate different states. Please refer to the manual for details.
First, try turning the battery on by pressing once briefly, then pressing and holding. If there is still no response, the battery may have entered sleep mode.
Connect the battery to the charger for 30 minutes, then disconnect and reconnect the charger. The indicator lights should turn on.
If the aircraft has just finished flying, the battery may not turn off when its temperature is too high. Wait until the battery cools to normal temperature, then turn it off.
After the battery is fully charged and left unused for 24H, storage self-discharge protection will start and the battery will automatically discharge to about 96% battery level. If it is left unused with no operation for a total of 5 days, it will discharge to about 60% battery level to protect the battery. Slight heating during this period is normal.
Recharge the battery about every 3 months to maintain battery activity. Long-term storage without use may affect battery performance or even cause permanent battery damage.
We recommend that experienced pilots unlock Beginner Mode only after completing the first flight.
- Switch Cruise to ACRO.
- Switch VTOL to Plane.
- Double-press RTH.
- Double-press Button 3.
- Restart the X WING.
- Confirm FLYTIME is 365 min.
No. The flight time is recorded on the aircraft and does not reset when the pilot changes.
For the first batch of about 30 aircraft, the motor stop switch may not work. In that case, you need to disconnect the aircraft battery.
Standard mass-production versions include crash detection, so pressing the motor stop switch will stop the motors.
- When using Return to Home, we recommend rotating the aircraft to a side-facing attitude before landing, then waiting until the aircraft is fully vertical before touching down.
If the wind is too strong, switch to manual mode and wait until the aircraft is fully vertical before landing.
- When landing manually, we also recommend rotating the aircraft to a side-facing attitude before touchdown, then waiting until the aircraft is fully vertical before landing.
Standard mass-production versions include crash detection, so pressing the motor stop switch will stop the motors.
After the motors stop, check whether the propellers are damaged or abnormal.
If there is a problem with the propellers, replace them. If the propellers are normal, separate them and then restart the aircraft.
The usable flight range depends on remaining battery level, wind, reserved battery for return, signal interference, and local aviation regulations.
In ideal conditions, the maximum flight time is about 60 minutes. We recommend reserving enough battery before every flight to ensure a safe return.
The product itself does not have a mandatory altitude requirement.
Please strictly follow local aviation laws, regulations, and site rules, and always fly legally and safely.
Yes, it is relatively easy to get started.
The X WING supports vertical takeoff and landing, GPS position hold, coordinated turns, and Beginner Protection Mode.
Pilots with FPV drone or camera drone experience who have not flown fixed-wing aircraft can use familiar drone-style control logic to experience fixed-wing flight.
During flight, you can switch to vertical takeoff and landing mode to achieve an effect similar to a cobra maneuver.
In full manual mode, a back roll can be used to perform a “Crazy Ivan” aerobatic maneuver.
Manual mode supports inverted flight, and the control logic is the same as a traditional fixed-wing aircraft.
However, we do not recommend beginners perform aerobatic maneuvers in this mode.
The control feel in vertical takeoff and landing mode is basically the same as an FPV drone, but vertical takeoff and landing mode only supports GPS mode and does not support Acro mode.
Acro mode is only for fixed-wing flight, and its control logic is the same as a traditional RC fixed-wing aircraft. The sticks directly control the control surfaces, with no attitude self-leveling and no bank-angle limit.
We recommend flying only in wind force level 4 or below.
When wind exceeds level 4, aircraft handling performance drops significantly and the aircraft may become difficult to control.
Please check the following first:
- Are you flying in an open area? Does the flight path pass behind mountains, buildings, or other obstacles?
- Are the antennas on the goggles and remote controller fully extended and facing the aircraft?
- Is there any electromagnetic interference nearby?
- Confirm the video transmission mode: check whether it is accidentally in CE mode. FCC mode provides longer range.
- When the video signal is lost, is the remote control signal still normal?
Beginner Mode only limits the altitude for mode switching and the use of Acro mode. It does not change the functions of the flight modes themselves.
Cruise Mode: The flight controller automatically controls throttle output and pitch angle, actively controls sideslip, is not affected by crosswind, and keeps the aircraft flying straight at a fixed altitude. This mode includes coordinated turns. When you move only the aileron stick, the aircraft automatically adds pitch and banks into the turn to reduce the turning radius. The pitch stick controls the fixed-wing climb and descent rate. Maximum descent rate: 12m/s; maximum climb rate: 12m/s.
Stabilized Mode: The flight controller does not control throttle output, does not hold altitude, and does not provide coordinated turns. It only keeps the fixed-wing aircraft in a level attitude. When you move the aileron stick, the aircraft only rolls and does not automatically add pitch for a coordinated turn. The maximum roll bank angle is 50°, the maximum dive angle is 60°, and the maximum nose-up climb angle is 60°.
Manual Mode: The control logic is the same as a traditional RC fixed-wing aircraft. The flight controller only provides gyro stabilization and can make simple corrections for minor external factors such as wind direction. This mode has no pitch or roll angle limits, provides greater maneuverability, and can perform advanced maneuvers.
No. The LED light strip supports only three colors: red, green, and blue.
Wing deployed dimensions: 885 × 715 × 333 millimeters
RTF full package dimensions: 625 × 800 × 220 millimeters
Total aircraft weight with the flight battery installed: 2.1 kilograms.
Note: Slight measurement tolerances are normal.
The remote controller is set to Mode 2 by default at the factory. This is the normal default setting.
After receiving the product, you can switch between Mode 1 and Mode 2 in the remote controller settings menu. The user manual includes complete step-by-step instructions.
Yes. X WING is equipped with GPS Return to Home (RTH).
RTH can be triggered in three situations: pressing the RTH button, a low-battery warning, or loss of remote controller signal.
No. The system uses metric units by default and currently does not include a built-in option to switch to imperial units.
Yes. If there is no remote controller input, X WING will continue flying while maintaining its current flight attitude.
After you press the automatic RTH button, X WING will return automatically.
RTH will also be triggered automatically if the remote controller signal is lost or a low-battery warning occurs.
RTH can be triggered in three situations: pressing the RTH button, a low-battery warning, or loss of remote controller signal.
- The aircraft climbs to 120 meters using the current flight mode and current flight attitude.
- It automatically enters fixed-wing mode and starts returning.
- After reaching the area above the home point, it automatically switches to VTOL mode.
- The aircraft then begins descending. From 120 meters to 5 meters, descent is automatic, relatively fast, and cannot be controlled with the remote controller.
- Below 5 meters, the descent speed slows down, and you can use the remote controller to adjust the aircraft attitude for landing.
Notes:
- If automatic RTH is enabled in fixed-wing mode at a low altitude, the aircraft will pitch up 45 degrees from its current flight attitude and climb to 120 meters.
If there are obstacles during the climb, manually exit automatic RTH and control the aircraft to avoid the obstacles.
- If automatic RTH is enabled in VTOL mode and the aircraft is far away, it will climb to 120 meters from its current flight attitude. If it is nearby, the aircraft will automatically choose the return altitude and return flight mode based on its current altitude.
If there are obstacles during the climb, manually exit automatic RTH and control the aircraft to avoid the obstacles.
- During RTH, the aircraft returns in a straight line. If there are obstacles along the route, manually exit automatic RTH and control the aircraft to avoid the obstacles.
- During automatic RTH, manual takeover is available only after the aircraft reaches the home point and descends to within 5 meters.
- You can exit automatic RTH at any time and take manual control.
- During automatic RTH, if the remaining battery is only enough for landing, the aircraft will perform a forced descent that cannot be canceled. During descent, you can use the remote controller to move the aircraft horizontally.
No. When obstacles are present, you must manually control the aircraft to avoid them.
No. X WING does not include an air-combat effect, but you can use the radar screen to view the positions of friendly aircraft and fly in pursuit.
The radar can identify up to 5 other X WING aircraft.

No action is needed. During flight, the flight controller automatically calibrates it, so flight performance is not affected.
- Mode switching takes some time. Do not press the mode switch button repeatedly. After pressing it, wait about 10 seconds.
- During flight, strong wind speed, wind direction, and other factors may occasionally cause switching to fail. Try changing the flight direction, or wait 30 seconds before switching again.
The payload is 100 grams.
However, the aircraft does not have any mounting points, so modifying the aircraft or attaching payloads is not recommended.
Due to a batch issue, the ends of the light strip may come loose on a small number of aircraft.
Remove the backing adhesive from the loose section of the light strip, then reattach it with glue.
We recommend using single-component flexible rubber-type foam adhesive.
Quick-drying glue, corrosive adhesives, and similar products can corrode the foam and must not be used.
The entire light strip needs to be replaced.
Readjust the propeller retaining screw. After the screw is tightened, the propeller should still rotate smoothly.
Reattach and secure it.
For small areas of damage, cracks, or holes, use single-component flexible rubber-type foam adhesive for bonding and filling.
For large areas of damage, the corresponding parts need to be replaced.
In fixed-wing mode, flight time is about 60 minutes at a speed of 60 km/h. Fixed-wing mode supports continuous flight. Actual endurance may vary slightly from the rated endurance due to environment, wind speed, temperature, and other factors.
In VTOL mode, flight time is around 20 minutes. Long periods of hovering are not recommended because they place a higher load on the motors and generate more heat.
FCC (United States): 10 km. The 2.4 GHz / 5.8 GHz bands allow higher transmit power.
CE (European Union): 6 km. EU RED regulations limit 5.8 GHz transmit power, so the range is noticeably shorter.
These are ideal laboratory values in an unobstructed, interference-free environment. In cities, forests, or areas with buildings and other obstructions, the real-world range may be reduced by half or more. This is normal.
DJI’s stated maximum video transmission range with DJI Goggles 3 / DJI Goggles N3 is 10 km (FCC), 6 km (CE), and 6 km (SRRC). This is measured outdoors with no obstruction or interference. The actual maximum communication range during flight is also limited by flight endurance, so always pay attention to return-to-home reminders.
FCC (U.S.): 7-10 km, +27dBm 500mW.
CE (EU): 2.5-3.5 km, +20dBm 100mW (EIRP legal limit).
These are ideal lab values. In cities, wooded areas, around buildings, or in other obstructed environments, the actual range may be reduced by half or more. This is normal.
Power on: Short-press the M button, then long-press the M button.
Center calibration: Long-press the M button.
Power off: Short-press the M button, then quickly long-press the M button.
Remote controller: Charges via USB-C; input 5V DC, 2-3A.
Goggles: Charges via USB-C; input 5V DC, 3A. Battery life: 2.7 hours. Charging time: 2.5 hours while powered off.
Head tracking module: Charges via USB-C; input 5V DC, 1A. Battery life is more than 8 hours (PPM output).
Some brands of dual Type-C cables may not charge properly. If charging does not work, try using a Type-A to Type-C cable.
These buttons do not have an active control function. The SW1-SW4 button lights indicate battery level and charging status.
These two scroll wheels do not have an active control function.
This appears because one of the switches is not in its default position. Press the switch button shown on the screen to return it to the normal state.
This is related to the DJI goggles firmware version and requires a future DJI firmware update. It does not affect normal use.
Yes. The goggles OSD displays flight data, including remaining battery percentage, battery voltage, flight current, home point direction and distance, satellite count, flight altitude, vertical climb/descent speed, and video transmission signal strength. When the battery is too low, the goggles display an RTH reminder. After the home point is recorded successfully and the GNSS satellite signal is normal, automatic RTH can be triggered.
The radar module enables multi-aircraft connection. It can show the real-time position of your aircraft and up to 5 other X WING aircraft on the display.
Yes. X WING is equipped with the DJI O4 Air Unit digital video transmission system and is compatible with the full range of official DJI FPV goggles.
Yes. You can wear regular prescription glasses while using these FPV goggles. The goggle chamber has enough internal space to fit glasses completely, with no diopter adjustment or additional lenses required.
X WING is equipped with the DJI O4 video transmission system, with latency as low as 24 milliseconds, real-time video at 1080P/100 fps, and a maximum video transmission distance of 10 kilometers in FCC mode.
Please refer to the head tracking setup tutorial video:
- First, watch the X WING goggles and air unit linking tutorial: DJI O4 Air Unit linking tutorial.
- Remove the cockpit, then press the black linking button. See the image below.
Please refer to the following video:
X WING photoresistor issue.mp4
- The radar screen may have shifted and blocked the photoresistor, causing the brightness to stop changing. Adjust the radar screen position.
- The photoresistor may have a cold solder joint. Resolder the photoresistor, or replace it and solder the replacement.
The radar screen brightness is adjusted through the photoresistor. Different brightness levels correspond to different voltages, and voltage changes cause a linear change in the radar screen brightness.
This is normal. Because the gimbal has stabilization, its movement can lag slightly behind the aircraft body. When the aircraft levels out and recovers its attitude, the gimbal may still be completing movement from the previous phase, so the video can show noticeable up-and-down bumping.
Use the M button on the head tracking module as follows:
- Power on: short-press the M button, then long-press the M button.
- Center calibration: long-press the M button.
- Power off: short-press the M button, then quickly long-press the M button.
Please refer to the following video:
- Long-press the M button on the head tracking module to perform center calibration.
- Check whether the remote controller parameters have been changed.
- If the steps above do not resolve the issue, connect to GimbalConfig and check whether the parameters are incorrect. The first image shows the correct parameters, and the second image shows incorrect parameters.
There are two ways to export videos:
- Connect the flight goggles to a computer with a data cable, then export the videos.
- Remove the memory card, insert it into a card reader, and connect the card reader to a computer.
Using a data cable is recommended.
This is normal. The head tracking module has a built-in gyroscope, which can have temperature drift and accumulated integration error. The longer it is used, the more likely slow gimbal drift becomes. You can periodically use the head tracking recenter button to clear accumulated error and reduce this issue.
- Gyroscope temperature drift: the gyroscope chip is affected by temperature changes, and its zero point can slowly shift. As the temperature rises or falls, the gyroscope may output false angular velocity. The aircraft body is not actually rotating, but the gyroscope may interpret it as rotation.
- Accumulated integration error: the gyroscope has small zero bias, noise, and temperature drift. Each moment of error is small, but as operating time accumulates, the calculated head angle can drift farther from the real head attitude, causing integration drift.
Please check the following:
- Make sure the flight area is open, with no obstructions or electromagnetic interference.
- Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote controller, goggles, and aircraft.
- Make sure the antennas on the remote controller and goggles are fully unfolded and facing the aircraft.
- Make sure the parameters in the remote controller and goggles are normal and have not been changed.
- If the signal strength decreases slowly, try flying in a different location.
- If the signal strength drops quickly, first try changing the flight direction. If there is no improvement, try again in a different flight location.
The mass-release version adds a bottom fan, uses black propellers, and includes firmware crash detection, along with fixes for some software bugs.
The information shown on the official website follows relevant Chinese export standards. For specific product parameters, please refer to the manual included with the product.
No. If GPS signal is lost, the helicopter normally loses horizontal position hold, so it will not hover in place like it does in GPS mode, but it should still maintain basic attitude and altitude control.
Control will become more demanding and the helicopter may drift. Keep it within visual line of sight, avoid trees, buildings and people, and land in a safe open area.
First check the ESC BEC output. Use a voltmeter to measure the BEC voltage on the ESC signal lead; it should normally be above 5V.
If the BEC voltage is normal but the ACE flight controller still does not power on, the controller power input or protection component may be faulty. Stop further power-on testing and contact FLYWING support for inspection guidance.
Make sure you are using the dedicated ACE configuration software. ACE and the older H1 controller do not use the same software, so the H1 software may not detect an ACE controller.
Try a known good USB data cable, confirm that the computer detects the USB device, then reopen the ACE software and reconnect the controller.
A flashing red/yellow light usually means the controller has not met the conditions for arming or starting. Common causes include low battery voltage, not being armed yet, or a compass/GPS warning.
- Confirm the flight battery is fully charged, preferably above 75%.
- Arm the helicopter first, then move the start switch only after the normal ready indication appears.
- Connect the ACE software and check voltage, GPS and compass status messages.
Yes. A single-rotor helicopter may hover with a slight tilt because of main rotor torque and the side force generated by the tail rotor.
If the helicopter holds a stable hover without severe vibration or uncontrolled drift, a small tilt is usually normal and does not require adjustment.
This is often caused by ground resonance or poor grip on a hard, smooth surface such as timber flooring, concrete or stone.
- Take off from grass, soil or a non-slip mat where possible.
- Check that the main blade screws are tightened correctly.
- If shaking continues or becomes worse, stop flying and inspect the blades, blade grips, spindle shaft and landing gear.
In-flight wobble or shaking is usually related to blade tightness, mechanical friction or parameter settings. Blades that are too tight are a common cause.
Check that the main blades can move smoothly, then inspect the blade grips, spindle shaft, linkages and servos. If the mechanics are normal, check the flight controller settings according to the manual.
Tall buildings can block or reflect GNSS/GPS signals, reducing positioning accuracy. This may cause drift, unstable position hold or an inaccurate return point.
Fly in an open area away from buildings, trees, power lines and large metal structures.
After powering on and before take-off, carry the helicopter slowly around the flying area and watch the ACE controller light and software status.
If the light cannot stay in the normal green state, or the software reports a compass warning, move to a more open location away from metal objects and electromagnetic interference, then recalibrate according to the manual.
ATT mode does not rely on GPS positioning. It uses sensors such as the gyroscope, accelerometer and barometer to help maintain attitude and altitude, so it can start without GPS.
However, indoor spaces are confined and full of obstacles, and the helicopter will not hold position like it does in GPS mode. Indoor flying is not recommended unless the pilot is experienced and has a safe, controlled area.
Please refer to the transmitter manual supplied with the product. The Mode 1/Mode 2 switching procedure is usually shown in the final pages.
Before flying, confirm that the throttle stick position, spring centring behaviour and software channel settings match. After switching modes, check every channel direction again.
Insert the bind plug into the receiver B/VCC port, turn on the transmitter, and power the receiver. Open the Bind menu on the transmitter and start binding.
After binding is complete, power off, remove the bind plug, then power on again and confirm that the radio signal is normal.
In the transmitter mode-channel settings, change the relevant mode value from 1000 to 1300. The lowest position of the mode switch can then be used as manual 3D mode.
3D mode requires advanced flying skill. Before enabling it, confirm that pitch, throttle, arming and stop switch settings are correct, and test only in an open area.
First confirm that the measurement method is correct. Place the level vertically, not at an angle, then power-cycle the helicopter and allow the controller to complete self-check.
A small difference in ATT mode is usually normal. If the offset is obvious or affects flight, recheck the swashplate and linkage settings according to the manual.
Usually no. In the ACE system, the transmitter mainly provides input signals, while pitch and speed control are managed by the flight controller. A transmitter throttle curve will not behave like it does on a traditional helicopter.
The governor value in the software should not be set below 50%, as lower values may provide insufficient power for safe take-off.
Common mode values are:
- ACE Scale: HOME 2000, GPS 1500, ATT 1000.
- ACE FW450L: GPS 2000, ATT 1500, Smart Acro 1000, 3D Acro 1300.
Values may vary by model or firmware version, so always confirm with the relevant manual and the ACE software display.
Connect the ACE software and check whether the mode switch channel matches the mode shown in the software. When you move the transmitter switch, the corresponding mode in the software should change at the same time.
If it does not match, check the transmitter channel assignment, endpoint values, mixes and receiver output mode.
Usually no. The important point is not to move the helicopter while the controller is performing self-check, such as during alternating red/blue flashing.
After self-check is complete, the canopy or blades may be installed following safe procedures. Before installing blades, make sure the motor cannot start unexpectedly and the stop switch is in the safe position.
A slight double-blade appearance is usually normal. At high rotor speed, cyclic pitch changes and aerodynamic load can make the blade path look slightly offset.
If the helicopter flies smoothly without obvious vibration, adjustment is usually not required. If vibration is severe, inspect the blade grips, spindle shaft, linkages and pitch mechanism.
When using an ELRS receiver, set the transmit power to 25mW where possible, and avoid exceeding 50mW.
Higher power can increase interference and affect GPS performance. Keep the receiver and antenna as far as practical from the GPS module and flight controller.
Wobbling or circling in hover may be related to compass calibration, mechanical friction or rotor head components.
- Recalibrate the compass in an open area first.
- Check whether swashplate linkages and ball joints are binding.
- Inspect blade grip bearings, the spindle shaft and servos for smooth movement.
If the problem continues, stop flying and complete a mechanical inspection before testing again.
If blade tightness is correct, check swashplate gain, the spindle shaft, dampers and overall mechanical vibration.
You may reduce swashplate gain slightly, then confirm that the rotor head, blade grips, linkages and servos are not worn, bent or binding.
If the pitch stick is released or allowed to spring back during motor stop, the helicopter may briefly climb before descending.
Follow the stop procedure in the manual and keep steady control of the pitch stick while the motor is stopping.
If the controller status is normal but the motor does not respond after switching to RUN, first check whether the signal lead between the flight controller and ESC is connected in the correct orientation.
Disconnect the battery and remove the blades before checking wiring. Reconnect correctly before powering on again.
If the tail rotor touches the ground or stops working during take-off, the helicopter may spin suddenly. A common cause is pulling back on the stick during lift-off, causing the tail to dip and the tail rotor to strike the ground.
Keep the helicopter level during take-off, avoid pulling back, and use a flat, open take-off area.
After starting, wait about 10 seconds for the main rotor to reach normal speed. Then smoothly raise the pitch stick and hold it for about 2 seconds to lift off.
If it still will not take off, check battery level, pitch channel response and flight mode status.
Yes, a Remote ID module can be installed, but an independent power supply is recommended rather than powering it from a spare receiver port.
Before installation, confirm the module voltage, current requirements and wiring method, and make sure it does not affect the flight controller, receiver or GPS operation.
Some drift is normal. GPS mode uses satellite positioning to hold position, while ATT mode does not provide horizontal position lock. The helicopter can drift due to inertia, wind and its own attitude.
After switching to ATT mode, be ready to manually correct position and practise in an open area.
During high-speed forward flight, aerodynamic drag from the fuselage and body shell can push the nose down. Repeated correction may create an up-and-down oscillation sometimes called porpoising.
Reducing forward speed usually reduces or removes the behaviour. Avoid extended high-speed flight at maximum pitch angle in ATT mode.
A right tail kick at lift-off may be related to excessive torque reaction, high rotor speed or pitch state before take-off.
- Try reducing the throttle value by about 5%.
- Recheck pitch calibration and avoid obvious negative pitch before lift-off.
- Confirm that the tail rotor and tail drive system are working normally.
If the scale helicopter continuously drifts left in ATT mode, connect the H-ACE software, open the main rotor settings, and slightly increase the left servo parameter, for example by 10 to 20.
Make only small changes at a time and perform short test flights in an open area.
A slight double-blade effect is usually related to cyclic pitch, blade flex and swashplate working angle. If the helicopter flies smoothly without vibration, adjustment is usually not needed.
To reduce the effect, fine-tune the swashplate level again. If the helicopter has had an impact, inspect the blade grips, spindle shaft and linkages.
A small amount of altitude loss during loops or similar aerobatic manoeuvres is normal on the FW450. Use a smoother mode, avoid excessive speed, and re-centre the helicopter attitude after every one or two manoeuvres.
For aerobatics, use the supplied FLYWING 4S 2200mAh battery and confirm the centre of gravity is correct. Manual pitch compensation can help reduce altitude loss.
Yes. On the MH-60T/R, the rotor sound may become louder once the helicopter reaches take-off conditions. This is related to the model structure and pitch state before lift-off.
If the controller status is normal and there is no abnormal vibration or warning, you may continue with the normal take-off procedure.
After power-on, the helicopter starts searching for satellites regardless of the selected mode. If GPS positioning is completed in the air, you can switch to GPS mode; if positioning has not completed, GPS position flight will not work correctly.
It is recommended to wait for GPS lock on the ground before take-off so return-to-home can record a more reliable take-off point.
First move away from magnets, signal towers, cables, large metal objects and other sources of electromagnetic interference, then power on again in an open outdoor area.
- Connect the PC software and check for warnings.
- Check the GPS Star and GPS HDOP values.
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes for GPS search to complete.
- If GPS HDOP is higher than 1.0, signal quality is usually poor. Test in another location.
Yes. The new quick-release rotor head uses a separated structure so the flapping and lead-lag movement can work properly. Each blade is relatively independent, unlike a traditional single spindle structure where opposite blades influence each other.
As long as there is no abnormal play, cracking, loose screws or obvious vibration, slight movement is part of the design. Always check that all locks and screws are secure before flying.
