4.2 Conexiuni de cablare

Connect the FC151 to your receiver and servos using appropriate cables. The unit features clearly labeled ports for system power (SYS), aileron (AIL1, AIL2), elevator (ELE), rudder (RUD), and mode selection (MODE). If using S.BUS, refer to your receiver's manual for proper connection to the FC151's S.BUS port.

4.3 Control Surface Types and Mixing

The FC151 supports various aircraft configurations. Ensure your transmitter is set up correctly for the chosen aircraft type, and then configure the FC151 accordingly. The unit supports:

  • Single Aileron Aircraft
  • Double Aileron Aircraft
  • Fly Wing Aircraft (Delta Wing)
  • V-Tail Aircraft

Flaperon mixing is also supported. Refer to the diagram below for visual guidance on control surface configurations.

4.4 Reglarea sensibilității

The FC151 allows independent sensitivity adjustment for aileron (AIL), elevator (ELE), and rudder (RUD) axes. Use a small screwdriver to carefully adjust the potentiometers labeled AIL, ELE, and RUD on the top of the unit. Start with lower sensitivity settings and gradually increase as needed during test flights to achieve desired stability without overcorrection.

4.5 Flight Mode Selection

The FC151 supports different flight modes, including auto-level and modes suitable for aerobatic/3D flying. These modes can be switched via an extra channel on your transmitter, connected to the FC151's MODE input. Consult the LED indicators for current mode status.

5. Funcționare

Once installed and configured, the FC151 will provide stabilization during flight. The system continuously monitors the aircraft's attitude and makes rapid corrections to maintain stability. For advanced users, programming via the onboard button and LEDs allows for fine-tuning of parameters. Refer to the specific programming sequence detailed in the full product manual (if available) or Dualsky's official website-ul pentru pași detaliați.

Ensure your transmitter is properly calibrated and all control surfaces respond correctly before attempting flight.

6. Întreținere
