GPS module, allowing for a clear visual flight while ensuring key information is within sight. The new FY-41AP Lite with its enhanced altitude control and GPS module, can now realize improved pinpoint inertial navigation and automatic piloting. Flight stabilization is achieved via an integrated 3 axis gyro, 3 axis accelerometer, and a barometric pressure sensor.
Guilin Feiyu Technology Incorporated Company. Power Manager Module FY-41AP Lite can connect power manager module which is integrated with current sensor module and Voltage-Regulating module. Current Sensor is used to check voltage, Amp draw. The integrated Voltage-Regulating module provides stable +12V to FPV video camera and video transmitter.
After the aircraft back to the target point ,if the altitude greater than 100 meters , the aircraft will down to 100 meters while circling. For the FY-41AP Lite , there is 50 meters protection altitude for return home .If the altitude below 50 meters when activate into RTL, the aircraft will climb to 50 meters while return.
Auto stable, Fixed altitude & Heading lock, Auto Return To Home function will make FPV operation more easy. 2.4 FY-41AP Lite Can Be Connected To A Data Link Connecting to a Data Link can increase flight distance. Additionally, when used with...

Guilin Feiyu Technology Incorporated Company. 7. Main Module Installation 7.1 FY-41AP Lite Module Installation When installing, please keep FY-41AP Lite horizontal and as close as possible to the "Centre of gravity" (COG) of the aircraft. The modules orientation can be changed by FY-GCS (Ground Control Station) system: arrow to front, back, left or right.
Power manager module supports 2S~6S lithium battery input. The integrated current sensor can measure APM draw and voltage; DC-DC module offers 5V to FY-41AP Lite meanwhile 12V to video camera and video transmitter. But servo power is supplied by ESC or S1~S8 any port access.
Guilin Feiyu Technology Incorporated Company. 7.5 Remote Control Setting: SW1&SW2 FY-41AP Lite needs remote control and receiver with at least 6 channels, including 4 normal channels for AIL,ELE,THR,RUD, and two for SW1,SW2 to control flying mode. You need to choose normal fixed wing plane mode canceling all mix control modes, meanwhile setting CH5,CH6 to two three-switch.
Also yellow, white, purple and other colors light through the combination. Operators can know the FY-41AP Lite’s operating mode by judging the different colors which the LED sends out and the flash frequency. Green light flash means GPS location fixed, red and blue light indicate FY-41AP Lite working mode.
