Page 9: Fy31Ap Flight Modes
You can activate any of the flight modes via a free Receiver channel and a 3-position switch on your computer radio connected to the SW 1 interface on the FY31AP. c) Mode 1: Deactivated Mode. In this mode, all control of the aircraft is by the pilot. The FY31AP does not participate in flight control. -
Page 10: Stall Warning
Feiyu Electronics Company STALL WARNING On its own, the FY31AP has no control over the throttle channel. Therefore, if your aircraft forward movement cannot compensate for the autopilot’s active altitude hold in RTH and Auto Circling, your aircraft will stall. -

Page 26: Recording Your Aircraft Neutral Value
3. The control benchmark of FY31AP is the NEUTRAL VALUE position. But the installed angle of the FY31AP to the horizontal level of the plane should not exceed 15 degrees. 4. You can do this procedure with the aircraft on the ground or in the air. - Page 27 (i.e. fuselage and wings perfectly level). Step 4: ON your transmitter and zero all your trims. Power up the FY31AP in Mode 1 (Manual Mode). Confirm there are no deflection to the Aileron, Elevator and Rudder surfaces by adjusting your servo links.

Page 28: Recording Neutral Value 'On The Fly
Step 7: While in this Neutral Value, activate Mode 3 (Auto Stabilization Mode) for at least 2 seconds. Since Dip Switch No. 4 is ON, the FY31AP will now record your Neutral Value. After 2 seconds, switch back to manual mode and land your aircraft. -
Page 29: First Flight Test And Sensitivity Adjustment
Auto Stabilized Mode and the Neutral Value is already recorded. 2. Now you need to fine tune your FY31AP stability gain via flight tests. For the first flight it is recommended that the gains not be set too high. To avoid excessive oscillation (flight overcorrection) put the gyro gain at mid point. - Page 30 The FY31AP should bring the aircraft through the Waypoints already programmed into the autopilot. f) By default, the FY31AP will auto repeat the waypoints flying – after flying over the last waypoint coordinates, it will fly back to the first waypoint and carry out the flight route again.
