About transmitter
Bell-206 uses an FS-i6S transmitter which is 2.4GHz, 1 km* control distance.
Please don’t touch your transmitter menu it has been factory set, if the setting is changed incorrectly, you will not be able to start the helicopter.

Transmitter overview

• For the first time, you need to connect a computer to activate this function
• The maximum communication distance is measured in the experimental environment for reference only

Insert GPS

Insert the GPS wire into the flight control GPS interface correctly, confirm that the self-locking bayonet is in place, and confirm that the GPS unit is fixed on the tail pipe.

Install blade

Install the blade as shown in the figure until there is slight resistance when the blade folds.

Maintenance-Replace the tail blade

If the tail rotor is damaged or has an obvious crack, please replace it in time. When replacing, the side with words on the tail faces the motor. Pay attention to the installation direction.

Starting transmitter

Hold the two power buttons at the same time for two seconds to turn on the transmitter. If the transmitter shows any warning, please flip the motor run switch to the top position(“motor off action”)then turn the mode switch to the GPS position.

Helicopter Power

Please insert the battery into the abdomen of the helicopter. Be sure that the battery strap is securely fastened. Connect the yellow plug of the battery to the Helicopter. Keep the helicopter stationary. After the initializing movement of the swash plate and the rotor head is completed, install the canopy correctly.

Charging

• Connect the charger to an AC power source (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz; use a power adapter if necessary).
• Please use the official charger we provide you to charge. Take out the flight battery before charging.
• Make sure the battery temperature is normal and connect the battery white just balance lead to the charger. (yellow main power plug is not inserted)
• When the charger is connected, the charger screen will display the voltage and when full, the symbol FLL will be displayed.
• Do not plug in 3s-4s at the same time. Only one battery can be charged at a time. If the charger shows the symbol of “e.11”, the battery feed is damaged (a single cell is less than 3.4V).

Ready to fly

Please place the helicopter in a flat open outdoor area with user-facing the tail.
GPS mode unlock/take-off (take mode2 as an example)

1. Turn the transmitter motor run switch to stop position, a dial mode switch to GPS, and the H1 light is flashing yellow.

2. Move the helicopter to the outdoor open environment without trees and buildings, and power on to wait for the GPS satellite signal search.

3. After waiting for a few minutes, the light changes from flashing yellow to solid green. The helicopter was positioned successfully.

4. Unlock as shown in the figure and hold for about 5 seconds until the H1 flight control unit flashes green light.
   

5. While the green light is flashing, turn the stop switch to run position, and the helicopter motor will start the light is solid green, repeat the unlock procedure again.

6. When the helicopter rotor head speed is stable, push the throttle stick upwards to take off and raise the helicopter above ground, then release the throttle stick and you can hover appropriately.
   

• Do not stop the motor during flight, otherwise, the helicopter will crash. Unless there are special circumstances (e.g. the helicopter may collide with a crowd), it is necessary to stop the motor urgently to minimize the injury.
• The helicopter will not be able to take off in case of a serious low power alarm.
• After starting the helicopter motor, the blade will rotate at high speed, which is dangerous. The operator shall keep a certain distance from the helicopter and keep the helicopter away from the crowd, buildings, trees, or other obstructions to avoid a collision.
  After landing, please turn off the helicopter power first and then the transmitter.

Unlock/take off in 3D mode (take mode 2 as an example)

1. Dial the motor run switch to stop position, dial the mode switch to the 3D position,
   

2. Move the helicopter to the outdoor open environment without trees and buildings. Power on, and the H1 flight control light is solid blue.

3. Unlock as shown in the figure and hold for about 5 seconds until the flight control light is flashing blue.
   

4. During the blue light is flashing, the Dial motor switch sticks to the run position, and the helicopter motor will run. Push throttle sticks upwards to take off.

About the use of fully manual 3D mode. When the helicopter is flying in the air, switch from GPS mode switch to 3D mode, and the helicopter will fall down quickly. If you are a novice, it is very dangerous to operate this function, and the helicopter will crash. Experienced pilots can quickly and manually increase pitch control after switching to 3D mode.

Home Mode

If you need to use the home mode (one key to return, low power return), please make sure that the GPS satellite signal is good before take-off, and that there are no buildings or trees around the take-off point that hinder the return.

Smart return:
Dial the switch to HOME,the helicopter return automatically. Then dial to GPS mode to terminate the return flight.

• Low power return: when the power system judges that the current power is low, it will auto return and land. Please ensure that the current distance of the helicopter conforms to the range of the helicopter’s remaining power.
• When returning with low power, the helicopter will auto rise up to 15 meters, and then return, which isn’t controlled by the operator. If there are obstacles (trees or buildings )on the way back, the auto flight needs to be terminated

Ways to stop low power

• If you want to stop the low power return, please flick the switch to HOME, and then flick the switch to GPS. You can manually control the helicopter after landing and manually turn off the motor. During this period, the helicopter will not return with low power until the helicopter is powered off.
  

• Users can increase or decrease the return voltage according to the flight demand, or turn off the low power return function.

• When the transmitter signal is normal, the transmitter can be used to control the landing position during the return landing.

Compass calibration

Compass is easy to be disturbed by a 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 work at its best.

Calibration precautions

1. Do 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. Do 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 the flight due to magnetic field differences between the two places.
4. Please move the helicopter to another location when there may be steel materials affecting the compass.

Calibration 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 teaching videos. Methods: calibration was carried out with parameter adjustment software

1. Open https://www.flywingrc.com/software/ Download a software.
2. Connect flight control and computer with USB Type-C data cable
3. Select the corresponding COM port (generally not COM1) and click Connect.
4. Enter the sensor calibration option of parameter adjustment software, check the learning mode, and click Start calibration.
5. The rotor rotates 360 ° in the upright position of the helicopter and 360 ° in the inverted upside-down position.
6. Head up vertical rotation 360 degrees, head down vertical rotation 360 degrees.
7. If the progress bar does not end, repeat the above operation until the end of the calibration progress bar indicates that the calibration is successful.

Situations requiring recalibration

1. Compass data abnormal, helicopter status light red flashing.
2. The flight site is far away from the last compass calibration site
3. The structure of the helicopter is changed.
4. The drift is serious during flight, or it can’t fly in a straight line.

Flight safety notice Flying suggests that users enjoy flying in a reasonably 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, crowds, water surfaces, and any nearby 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, foggy weather, etc.

2. Choose an open place with no tall buildings around the flight pathway; Any large number of buildings using 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 a high voltage cable line, radio telecommunication 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 the 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 the 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 a 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’s 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 a specific flight mode or flight environment, the GPS system can not work normally, such as precise landing or active braking and other functions will not be available. Please make a reasonable judgment on the flight condition by naked eye observation, and set the corresponding flight and return altitude according to the flight environment.
