Introduction
The FLY WING H1 Pro is a next-generation smart helicopter autopilot system designed to provide stable and precise flight control for a wide range of RC helicopters. Featuring advanced GPS technology, robust sensors, and multiple flight modes, the H1 Pro enhances both performance and ease of use for pilots of all skill levels.
Key features include an anti-interference CAN BUS GPS, industrial-grade sensors for improved accuracy, and support for various helicopter configurations.
Setup and Installation
1. Package Contents
Before installation, verify that all components are present in your package:
- FC (Flight Controller) Unit
- CAN GNSS Module
- GNSS Fixed Base
- Wire Package (various connection cables)
2. Connecting the Main Controller and GPS Module
The H1 Pro main controller connects to the industrial-grade CAN GPS module. Ensure secure connections for stable and anti-interference performance. An optional low-power M10 Ublox chip subsidiary GPS is available if needed, featuring a dual-core system for faster and more stable positioning with long endurance.
3. Swashplate Configuration
The H1 Pro supports both H3 and HR3 Flybarless helicopter swashplate configurations. It is compatible with most helicopter sizes ranging from 280 to 900 class.
4. Specialized Sockets
The H1 Pro features specialized sockets with a fool-proof design and wider spacing to facilitate and strengthen connections with servos. These sockets support up to 12V servos, requiring BEC support for 12V output.
5. Voltage Detection Port
The voltage detection port of the H1 Pro has been upgraded to support a maximum voltage input of 51V at 12S. This upgrade helps prevent failures of the H1 controller when returning home under low voltage conditions, especially for helicopters of class 700 or above.
Operating Instructions
1. Flight Modes
The H1 Pro offers several flight modes to suit different piloting needs:
-
GPS Mode + ATT Mode (Self-Leveling): This mode utilizes traditional GPS positioning combined with a new Angle Mode for self-leveling. With fixed air pressure, it stabilizes altitude and removes many restrictions, offering a higher degree of freedom with minimal flight controller intervention.

3D Acro Mode: For experienced pilots, the traditional gyroscope 3D Acro mode is available. This mode allows for acrobatic maneuvers, providing freedom and sportiness similar to a pure gyro setup.

2. One-Click/Low Battery Return
After taking off from an open-air venue, a light press of the return switch will cause the helicopter to automatically return to its takeoff point and land. Additionally, if the battery reaches a pre-set low voltage, the helicopter will automatically initiate a return sequence. Ensure the residual voltage is sufficient for a safe return.
3. Soft Take-off/Land
When this function is enabled, pushing the throttle joystick will initiate a slow, automatic takeoff procedure, ascending the helicopter to approximately 1 meter. During landing, with proportional control, the system simulates a real helicopter takeoff gesture. When the helicopter is about one meter off the ground, it automatically switches to a proportional descent controlled by the flight controller.
4. Compass Calibration on Transmitter
To enter calibration mode, toggle the mode switch on your transmitter 3-4 times. The LED gradient light on the H1 Pro will display the calibration status, eliminating the need for computer-based calibration.
5. Three Flight Sensitivities Mode
The flight controller features three built-in flight feel settings: Soft, Standard, and Sport. These modes offer different gains and flight angles, allowing both novices and experts to find a comfortable and suitable flight experience.
6. Coordinated Turn
By activating this mode, during forward or backward flight, pushing the Rudder joystick (Yaw) to the left or right will cause the helicopter to bank and execute a coordinated turn. This feature replicates real helicopter maneuvers, resulting in a significantly smaller turning radius compared to conventional 'drone turns'. The coordinated turn is adjusted based on flight speed and Yaw Displacement, benefiting from the flight controller's Roll control.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your H1 Pro Flight Control System, follow these general maintenance guidelines:
- Keep the main controller and GPS module clean and free from dust and debris.
- Regularly inspect all wiring connections for signs of wear or damage. Ensure all plugs are securely seated.
- Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or moisture.
- Store the system in a dry, cool place when not in use.
- Periodically check for firmware updates from the manufacturer to ensure you have the latest features and bug fixes.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your H1 Pro Flight Control System, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/Intermittent Power: Check all power connections, including the ESC BEC power supply and battery connections. Ensure the battery is fully charged and within the supported voltage range (6V-13V).
- GPS Signal Issues: Ensure the CAN GNSS module has a clear view of the sky. Avoid operating near tall buildings or dense foliage that may obstruct satellite signals. Verify the GPS module is securely connected.
- Unstable Flight: Perform a compass calibration as described in the operating instructions. Check for any loose components or vibrations in the helicopter frame. Ensure the swashplate configuration is correctly set (H3 or HR3).
- Calibration Problems: If compass calibration fails, ensure you are toggling the mode switch correctly on the transmitter. Try performing the calibration in an open area away from magnetic interference.
- Servo Issues: Verify that servos are correctly connected to the specialized sockets. If using 12V servos, ensure your BEC provides adequate 12V output.
For persistent issues, consult the manufacturer's support resources or contact customer service.
