Reflex system overview

1. Utilizes a high-speed 32-bit ARM processor onboard.
2. Sensors: Solid-state 3 axis gyro and 3 axis accelerometer.
3. Automatically recognizes SBUS/PPM/PWM systems, compatible with all radio systems with 4 channels or above.
4. Reflex V3 version can be connected to a mobile app via Bluetooth after power-on, unlocking parameter setting functions (available for non-FMS models as well).
5. User-friendly operation: Synchronize required parameters through computer software or mobile app, connect Reflex V3 to the receiver, and set up the corresponding channels and directions on the remote controller. (Note: Parameter setting functions are only supported by the mobile app.)

Reflex functions
3 flight modes are available: Stabilized, Optimized or off. This is controlled with a 2 or 3 position switch on the transmitter. When assigned to a 2 position switch, the Reflex system switches between stabilized and optimized modes.

Stabilized mode-
Designed for beginners, Reflex will rapidly level the aircraft from any attitude when this mode is activated. Stabilized mode combines accelerometer and gyro data to determine how to level the aircraft when the control sticks are released- giving pilots absolute peace of mind.

Note: The aircraft will maintain level flight with 50~60% throttle. The aircraft will climb under full throttle.

OFF-
Turns off all gyro functionality, the aircraft is flown completely manually when the gyro is off.

Optimized mode-
Utilizing advanced solid-state gyros, the Reflex system maintains aircraft attitude by counteracting inflight upsets- from gusts to crosswinds. With Reflex, even small aircraft will fly with the confidence of something much larger!

Operation instructions

1. SBUS\PPM input: Connect the 3-wire cable into the port that is labelled SBUS\PPM. Ensure that the polarity of the cable is correct. The default channel assignment is aileron, elevator, throttle, rudder and mode switch (Note: Different aircraft may have different flight modes, refer to your aircraft manual for more information). If the channel assignment does not fit that of your transmitter system, change the channel order from your transmitter.
2. PWM: Connect the throttle and flight surface channels to their corresponding ports on the Reflex system. Connect a 3 wire cable from the channel that is controlled by your 3 position switch to the port labelled SBUS\PPM to control the gyro mode.

If you are using a 4 channel transmitter, use the included jumper to select between flight modes by plugging it into the “gyro mode input” port.

Note: The flight controller operates under stabilized mode by default. Plugging the jumper cable into the gyro mode input port changes the gyro mode to Optimized mode.

Operation: Turn on your transmitter first, then turn on your receiver. Set your aircraft down on a flat surface and have it remain level (the flight controller LED will flash rapidly). When the gyro is properly calibrated, the aileron servos will cycle 3 times in rapid succession; then the elevator will cycle 3 times in rapid succession- this signifies that the aircraft is ready for flight. Check that your 3-position switch is functional and that all channels are operating correctly.

NOTE
GYRO LED ON- Stabilized mode
GYRO LED FLASHES SLOWLY- Gyro off
GYRO LED FLASHES RAPIDLY- Optimized mode

Aircraft model update

1. Visit (https://www.fmshobby.com/pages/reflex-v2), download the Reflex 3.0 software.
2. Double click on “FMS PARAM V3.0” to initiate the software.
3. Connect a type-C cable from your computer to the Reflex type-C port.
4. Once successfully connected, the interface will show all downloadable aircraft options along with what is currently loaded on the flight control software.
5. Double click on the new aircraft you would like to load onto Reflex. The software will show “FMS param update”, click “OK” and wait for the audible tone (please turn up your system volume). The audible tone indicates that the new aircraft setting have been successfully loaded.
6. Update complete
