Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Main Controller Placement

Mount the H2 main controller securely on your helicopter frame, ensuring it is level and free from vibrations. Use double-sided foam tape or screws as appropriate for your model.

3. Receiver Connection

Connect your receiver to the H2 flight controller. The H2 supports various receiver types including S-BUS, PPM, Y-BUS, WBUS, and SUMD-DSM2/DSMX. Refer to your receiver's manual for specific wiring instructions.

4. Power Supply

The H2 operates on a voltage input range of 6V-13V, typically supplied by the BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) of your electronic speed controller (ESC). Ensure your BEC can provide stable power within this range.

5. Software Configuration

Configuration of the H2 flight controller requires a computer running Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit). Download the official Flywing H2 configuration software from the manufacturer's website. Connect the H2 to your computer via USB for initial setup and calibration.

Operating Instructions

Flight Modes and Tactile Sensation

The H2 flight control system offers three distinct flight modes, selectable via CH6 on your remote control. These modes adjust the sensitivity and rotational speed of the helicopter:

• Gentle Mode: Ideal for beginners or smooth, stable flight.
• Standard Mode: A balanced mode for general flying.
• Sport Mode: Provides increased responsiveness for agile maneuvers.

The maximum flight angles for these modes are: Soft mode: 25°, Standard mode: 30°, Sport mode: 35°.

Intelligent Flight Features

• Dual Redundant GPS Design: The primary GPS module utilizes the high-performance M9N Ublox flagship chip with a CAN plug, ensuring stable and interference-resistant positioning. A secondary low-power M10 Ublox chip provides additional redundancy, leading to more stable and faster positioning.
• Coordinated Turn: When the aircraft is moving forward, moving the direction joystick will cause the helicopter to automatically tilt while turning, achieving a graceful tilted turning posture.
• Smart Stunt: If the joystick position exceeds 90%, the helicopter enters a tumbling state. By keeping the joystick fully pushed, the helicopter can continuously tumble in any direction (forward, backward, left, or right). Releasing the joystick will cause the helicopter to automatically maintain a fixed position and fixed height hovering.
• Slow Takeoff and Landing: When enabled, unlock the helicopter and wait for the speed-up to complete. Pushing the throttle stick will initiate a slow automatic takeoff procedure, ascending to approximately 1 meter before handing control to the remote. This feature provides a more realistic takeoff effect.

Hovering Accuracy (GPS Mode)

In GPS mode, the H2 flight controller provides excellent hovering accuracy:

• Vertical direction: ±0.5 m
• Horizontal direction: ±1.5 m

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your Flywing H2 Flight Controller Unit, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables and connectors for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Cleanliness: Keep the main controller and GPS modules free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquid cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, store the unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Firmware Updates: Check the official Flywing website regularly for firmware updates. Keeping your firmware up-to-date can improve performance and add new features.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more complex problems, refer to the official Flywing support resources.

• No Power/Unit Not Responding:
  • Verify that the power supply (BEC) is connected correctly and providing the specified voltage (6V-13V).
  • Check all power cables for damage or loose connections.
• GPS Signal Issues:
  • Ensure GPS modules have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
  • Relocate GPS modules away from potential interference sources (ESCs, motors, high-current wires).
  • Verify GPS module connections to the main controller are secure.
• Unstable Flight/Incorrect Response:
  • Recalibrate the flight controller using the configuration software.
  • Check for proper mounting of the main controller; it should be level and vibration-free.
  • Ensure all servo connections are correct and secure.
  • Verify that the correct helicopter type (HR/H3 aileronless swashplate, etc.) is selected in the software.
• Software Connection Problems:
  • Ensure you are using a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11.
  • Try a different USB port or cable.
  • Reinstall the Flywing H2 configuration software and drivers.
